Abstract: A fastener comprising a T-shaped plastic planar member has a base which can be taped to a wiring assembly or harness and a normally extending trunk which has a pressure sensitive adhesive pad secured to a portion thereon adjacent the base and which has a releasable cover overlying the adhesive pad to protect the same during handling, but which can be unfolded to expose the adhesive pad to enable the pad to be fastened to a panel of the vehicle by merely pressing it onto the panel.

Abstract: A single or twin spacer mounting permits the rapid and efficient installation of elongated elements for example in an aircraft. Such elements include, for example, electrical cable bundles, pipes, hoses, cables and the like, whereby these elongated elements must be maintained at a precise spacing from one another and/or from a support. Additionally, the elongated elements may need to be arranged at an angle relative to each other. For this purpose, substantially identical interlocking spacer mounting members are used. Each spacer mounting member has a saddle to which the elongated element is secured, for example, by a cable binder or hose clamp. The saddle is connected to an interlocking section that either includes a female plug-in socket or a male plug. In another embodiment interlocking pins with locking heads are used to hold two identical spacer mounting members to each other.

Abstract: A cable mount for securing a bundle of wires against a mounting surface including a spaced apart pair of legs having retention barbs, and a corresponding harness fixture, which allows for easy application of a single, centered cable tie by an automatic cable tie application tool.

Abstract: A universal pipe support and hanger system comprising a single support member of generally I-shaped cross-section elongated in a first direction between a proximate end and a distal end, and comprising an elongated central web integrally connected with midpoints of first and second flanges extending substantially at right angles to the web, in a second direction. The proximate end has an L-shaped flange for mounting the single support member against a flat surface or a DMV in at least two orthogonal directions. Upper and lower edges of each flange comprise v-shaped cradles to support pipes extending in a third direction. A plurality of septa extend between opposed inner surfaces of said first and second flanges, on either side of the web, so as to define compartments.

Abstract: A plurality of individual electrical conductors are held together in a bundle to form a power supply cable, for example, for installation in an aircraft. For this purpose a conductor securing device has a disk divided into two half disk sections interconnected by a snap-on connection. Each half disk section has outer elements for holding individual conductors and a bow-shaped shell located centrally inwardly so that two shells of two interconnected half disk sections hold at least one further electrical conductor between the shells. Each shell extends with a shell extension laterally and axially out of its half disk section and the shell extension has as a shoulder for axially retaining a strapping belt.

Abstract: A scissor-type lifting device, for example for a work platform, with a scissor mechanism which has for one scissor axis 4 only two scissor arms a and b connected with each other so as to pivot about this scissor axis. The moments of torque that arise in the scissor arms produce prestresses in the mounts of the scissor axis and render the scissor mechanism free of play.

Abstract: An improved cable clamp strip for securing wires of a cable bundle in a predetermined orientation comprising: (1) a mounting base formed of a flexible, molded plastic with notches formed in its side edges for increased flexibility in a first direction and with notches formed in its lower surface for increased flexibility in a second direction; (2) closed retaining rings fixedly positioned on the upper surface of the mounting base; (3) apertured mounting projections extending upwardly from the upper surface of the mounting base; and (4) clamping ring halves adjustably secured with respect to the mounting projections. An aperture extends through the lower end of each clamping ring half with an long ring pin positionable through the apertures and the mounting projections to secure the clamping ring halves in a predetermined orientation on the mounting base.

Abstract: A plurality of electrical conductors or cables are held in place by a cirar member, such as a ring or disk, or by two ring or disk elements forming a pair, to form a conductor or cable bunch. For this purpose a plurality of recesses are provided in the circumferential zone of the ring or disk, for holding a conductor or cable in place in each recess. The recesses in the ring or disk are closed by a rim section. The ring or disk elements have recess forming fingers or pieces which can be rotated into preliminary and final positions with an increased clamping force in the final position. In all embodiments the cable or conductors are held in place by a proper biasing force. The costs for forming cable or conductor bunches and for their final installation have been substantially reduced.

Abstract: A pedal mechanism for a bicycle having a pedal crank formed of two telescopic elements, one of which is fixed the other being controlled by an assembly designed to impart thereto a reciprocating radial movement so that the length of the crank during rotation varies between predetermined minimum and maximum values. This arrangement increases the operating efficiency of the bicycle.
