  • Patent number: 7575212
    Abstract: A mounting bracket for a slotted upright featuring a channel member having a channel and a forwardly extending element. An insert is positioned within the channel member and has L-shaped fingers extending through the channel. The insert is secured within the channel member by fastening screws through the channel member and into the insert. When the bracket is placed on a slotted upright so that the L-shaped fingers of the insert are within the upright slots, tightening of the screws causes the fingers of the insert to engage the slots of the slotted upright and pushes the rear side of the channel member tightly against the slotted upright. This creates an overlying relationship where the L-shaped fingers and rear side of the channel member sandwich the slotted upright to provide an extremely secure connection. The mounting bracket is easily installed or removed by tightening or loosening the screws.

  • Patent number: 7562857
    Abstract: A design part composing a lamp unit includes a plate part positioned at a cabin side and covering an attaching hole of a roof trim, and a pair of vertically extending parts. The vertically extending part includes a frame part vertically extending from the plate part in a direction perpendicular to the plate part, and a movable piece continued to a connecting part of the frame part at a far side from the plate part. When a function part is pushed into between the pair of movable pieces, the gap between the movable pieces is increased, and a locking margin between the movable piece and an outer edge of an attaching hole is increased. Thus, holding force to hold the roof trim is secured.

  • Patent number: 7546986
    Abstract: A pipe hanger hooks or unhooks lower ends of semicircular bands divided left and right by means of a hooking means, mounts mounting plates integrally formed at the lower end of a supporting bracket to mounting plates integrally formed at upper ends of the semicircular bands, provides a resiliently biasing means in the supporting bracket to resiliently bias a nut block in an upward direction, couples a locking plate or rod into the mounting plates of the other-side semicircular band and the supporting bracket, mounts a locking cap and a locking guide to the mounting plate of the one-side semicircular band, and forms a hook of the lower end of the other-side semicircular band so as to extend beyond the vertical center line of an inner space defined by the semicircular bands. Thereby, the resiliently biasing means is provided in the supporting bracket to thus retain block.
