  • Publication number: 20230307897
    Abstract: This publication describes techniques and apparatuses for releasably attaching an object (e.g., a wire tray) to a substrate. Current apparatuses generally do not enable the removal of an attached wire tray from a substrate without first removing an insert from a mounting stud extending from the substrate. The disclosed techniques and apparatuses are configured to permit the removal of an attached wire tray from a substrate without first removing an insert from a mounting stud extending from the substrate.

  • Patent number: 11519444
    Abstract: A stud-mount insert configured to be releasably retained by a mounting-tab of a wire-tray assembly. The stud-mount insert includes a flange and a body configured to rotate about a longitudinal-axis of a mounting-stud. The flange is configured to overlay an aperture defined by the mounting-tab such that the mounting-stud extends through the aperture into the body. The flange is further configured to engage a top-surface of the mounting-tab proximate a perimeter of the aperture.

  • Patent number: 10900514
    Abstract: A wire-tray-assembly includes a wire-tray, a first-insert, and a second-insert. The wire-tray has a first-mounting-tab defining a first-aperture, and a second-mounting-tab defining a second-aperture. The first-insert is releasably retained by the first-mounting-tab and a first-mounting-stud extends through the first-aperture into the first-insert. The first-insert is rotatable about a longitudinal-axis of the first-mounting-stud. The first-insert defines a first-cavity into which are disposed first-pawls configured to releasably engage threads of the first-mounting-stud. The second-insert is releasably retained by the second-mounting-tab and a second-mounting-stud extends through the second-aperture into the second-insert. The second-body defines a second-cavity into which are disposed second-pawls configured to releasably engage threads of the second-mounting-stud.

  • Patent number: 7621317
    Abstract: A side plate for a heat exchanger, a heat exchanger and a method for making a heat exchanger are provided. The side plate, which may be incorporated into the heat exchanger, includes a first body piece having a first edge and a second body piece having a second edge. The first and second edges are separated by an opening except for point connections. After the heat exchanger is assembled the point connections may be sheared to permit the side plate to expand and contract as a result of positive and negative stresses.
