During the conversion of the clip (1) into the fixed state, the fastening jaws (7) can be introduced into a fastening opening (12) with at least partial closure of the introduction gap (8). When the clip (1) is in the fixed state, the linear beam element (3) is taken up in the linear mounting channel (9) between the fastening jaws (7) in such a way that said linear beam element (3) cannot be lost.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 5, 2008Publication date: May 13, 2010Inventor: Wolfram Winkler

Publication number: 20100108825Abstract: A series of contoured pipe supports made primarily of foam are designed to support line pipe across land or water. The supports are configured to snap onto and self-retain to the line pipe, and further are configured to resist permanent deformation and to withstand weather conditions. The foam of the supports have sufficient physical and mechanical properties to support the line pipe, but the supports are surprisingly lightweight and can be easily installed over pipes for the purpose of supporting and protecting such pipe until the pipe is buried or submerged in the earth. The supports are sufficiently durable and have sufficient flotation to maintain a line pipe in a horizontal position necessary to prevent accidental puncture or leakage of the pipe during assembly and installation.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 13, 2009Publication date: May 6, 2010Inventor: Robert D.

Patent number: 7661631Abstract: An attaching portion (12) includes resiliently deformable holding pieces (24), each of which has a pressing portion (26). A clearance between pressing portions (23, 26) is less than the thickness of a bracket (B) in a free state where the holding pieces (24) are not deformed. The holding pieces (24) are deformed to widen the clearance between the pressing portions (23, 26) in the process of inserting the bracket (B) between the pressing portions (23, 26). Thus, insertion resistance does not become excessive. The bracket (B) is sandwiched between the pressing portions (23, 26) by resilient forces of the holding pieces (24) with the attaching portion (12) attached to the bracket (B). Therefore, the attaching portion (12) and the bracket (B) do not shake relative to each other.Type: GrantFiled: March 6, 2007Date of Patent: February 16, 2010Assignee: Sumitomo Wiring Systems, Ltd.Inventor: Masato Ibaraki

Patent number: 7661634Abstract: A keyed channel strut mounted connector device includes channel engagement structure connected to attachment structure. The channel engagement structure includes a key for engaging the channel, and an octagonal neck connecting the key to a boss surmounting the attachment structure. The neck includes clearance facets permitting the key to pass into the longitudinal channel, and relief facets defining support shoulders on the key for supporting the key on the inwardly turned sidewalls of a channel strut. Two pairs of opposed support shoulders permit installation of the device for supporting a run of cables or pipes parallel with the longitudinal axis of the strut, or rotation of the device 90° for supporting the cables or pipes transverse to the strut. By rotating the device 180° in either direction, the head and tail ends of the attachment structure can be reversed without changing the parallel or transverse orientation of the attachment structure.Type: GrantFiled: December 27, 2006Date of Patent: February 16, 2010Assignee: DT Search & Designs, LLCInventor: Alvin Dean Thompson
