  • Patent number: 10882391
    Abstract: A modular CRFM upper bracket assembly providing a universal carrier operatively associating an isolator to a bracket. The isolator may be over-molded with the universal carrier or press-fit thereto. The bracket provides a carrier opening with interior threading, while universal carrier provides exterior threading dimensioned and adapted to engage the interior threading, whereby the elevation of the universal carrier, and thus isolator, relative to the bracket is adjustable through selective engagement of the threading. Thereby, the gap between the top of a vibratory object to be isolated and the bottom of isolator is also adjustable, which is advantageous for accommodating different frame tolerance variations and meeting system vibrational requirements.

  • Patent number: 10837577
    Abstract: Disclosed is a fixing for securing an article to a surface. The fixing comprising a coupling arrangement for coupling the fixing to an article such as cabling. Elongate members extend from the coupling arrangement and are moved together to insert the fixing into a cavity, and spring apart to retain the fixing in the cavity. The elongate members have resiliently deformable inner formations positioned which are spaced apart from the ends of the elongate members. The inner formations engage with one another and resiliently deform when the elongate members are brought together. The inner formations apply additional forces urging the elongate members apart, thereby increasing the pull resistance of the fixing. Also disclosed is a fixing in which the elongate members have conformable outer portions, to conform to the inner surface of a cavity and increase pull resistance; and a method of securing an article to a surface.
