Abstract: A subterranean coupler for slidably receiving a pipe therethrough and for coupling the pipe to a subterranean vessel. The coupler is mountable to a reinforcing grid prior to the coupler and reinforcing grid being cast in a concrete wall of the subterranean vessel. The coupler includes a longitudinally-extending axis and a cylindrical wall defined about the axis, the wall having an inner surface, an outer surface, and first and second ends. The coupler further includes a plurality of radially-extending, circumferentially-spaced engagement members integrally-formed with the outer surface. The engagement members are engageable with grid members of the reinforcing grid to mount the cylindrical wall to the reinforcing grid prior to casting.
Abstract: An anti-theft device for securing a computer or office equipment component to a work surface. The device is adjustable for use with different sizes of components, and includes a base having first and second sections that can be moved relative to each other. First and second arms extend from the base to receive the equipment component to be secured therebetween. The device includes a generally U-shaped clamping member having an intermediate restraining bar for engaging the office equipment component and first and second parallel arms extending from the restraining member. The first and second parallel arms of the clamping member are telescopically engaged with the first and second arms, respectively, of the base. Locking means associated with the first parallel arms permit the restraining bar to be selectively locked into one of a number of possible positions relative to the base, wherein the equipment component can be clamped between the base and the restraining bar.
