Abstract: A lightweight very low-profile hose clamp formed from only three pieces: an elongated wire bent to form a pair of loops which are in spaced side-by-side arrangement and joined at the top by an integral nut section formed by one and one-half tight convolutions of the wire; a heavy gage steel actuating plate having three holes therein, the ends of the wire being bent rearwardly toward the nut section and passing through the end holes of the plate; and an actuating screw threadedly received in the nut section and having a pilot tip received in the central hole of the plate.
Abstract: A stamped and welded clamp for pipe or tube joints having a plurality of arcuate segments pivotally attached to each other and separable at one location so as to facilitate wrapping about the joint. Each segment forms a Vee shaped recess on its inside face and each is formed from similar pieces projection welded together and having top and lateral reinforcing flanges. A special T-bolt serves to secure and tighten the assembly and employ a T-shaped bolt and which fits slidably into a mating housing having a stepped end-face to serve to restrain the bolt from turning during tightening.
Abstract: A signal light is projected in a concentrated beam downwardly when a garage door is fully opened to provide a light spot on the garage floor where no vehicle obstructs it and on the vehicle, such as on the dashboard thereof, when a vehicle is at a properly parked position in the garage. This provides signals both that the door is fully open, indicating that it is safe to exit or enter the garage as well as that the vehicle is in the proper position for parking. In addition, the light source itself may be arranged to glow visibly to an operator outside the garage as a further indication that it is safe to enter. Adjustable bracket means enables the location of the signaling lamp and signal-like spots to be adjusted. The light source is controlled by the position of the garage door, so as to only be illuminated when the door is fully opened.
