Abstract: An auxiliary support system for use with a line-post insulator of an electric power transmission system includes a tension member of electrically insulating material coupled between a tower and the junction of a conductor support with the outboard terminus of the line-post insulator. A clamp formed of two juxtaposed jaws bends downwards to clear the conductor and support, and then bends inwardly to grip the terminus and secure it to the tension member. Attachment of the auxiliary support can be accomplished without disruption of the electric power.
Abstract: Described is an arrangement for securing a water-impervious flexible web (10) comprising an elastomer on a walling means (6) to be sealed, in particular a flat roof, having a holder member (1) which can be secured to the walling means (6) and which has a projection (5) with an outwardly projecting side bead (7) forming an undercut configuration (8), and an outer securing member (11), with the web (10) being arranged to be clamped between the holder member (1) and the outer securing member (11).
Abstract: A device for clamping a cable or similar article comprising two identical members. A pair of positioning arms and the latch of one clamp member engage positioning arm guides and a catch of the other member and vice-versa. Both clamp members together retain and hold the cable. The clamp may be mounted to a panel via an optionally provided mounting anchor connected to the base of each clamp member.
Abstract: A device for mechanically joining sheet material, comprising a separable fastener which may have a pair of complementary extruded plastic members provided with resiliently separable interlocking fastener profiles, and at least one, and generally both, of the fastener members having releasable jaw extension structure for receiving and gripping and retaining sheet material to be joined. In certain forms, the jaw structure includes locking bar means arranged to be inserted into a cavity of the jaw structure. The jaw structure may be extruded from a plastic of greater durometer than the interlocking profiles.
Abstract: A clamping apparatus includes a first member defining a slot aperture with a wider portion and a narrower portion, and a second member with an arcuate portion for extension about an object to be clamped between the members. The second member has an end portion defining a plurality of pairs of notches, the notches of each pair being defined in opposite side edges of the end portion and being adapted to engage in the slot aperture of the first member upon insertion and rotation thereof relative to the first member. Fastener means, preferably a threaded fastener, is adjustable in position relative to the first member to retain and space the second member portion from the first member a selected distance to clamp an object of particular size between the first and second members.
Abstract: A readily assembled and detachable clamp for securing an electrical connector to a base. The clamp has a lower leg which extends horizontally and terminates in a reverse bend extending into an upper leg which from the reverse bend tapers upwardly over the lower leg to a flat portion lying over the lower leg. This portion terminates at the outer end in an upright leg which acts as a stop for the head of a screw which is threaded through a threaded hole in the flat portion of the upper leg and into engagement with the lower leg to clamp the latter to the base as well as to the electrical connector and also the upright leg provides a handle to insert and remove the clamp and align it properly in place.

Abstract: A clamping member for forming a branch-off seal between a recoverable sleeve and more than one substrate extending from an end of the sleeve, comprises at least two interengageable parts that define channels. The parts are assembled on the end of the sleeve such that the clamping member defines ducts for the substrates. Use of a clamping member having interengageable parts, rather than an integral member, makes fixing at the end of the sleeve easier.
