  • Patent number: 8833705
    Abstract: A conduit hanger with at least one bracket element to receive a pipe, with a load-distribution plate that is placed into the bracket element, and with a fastening device for fastening the load-distribution plate to the bracket element. The fastening device has at least one catching element to grip the bracket element as well as a counter-bearing element, which are arranged offset on the load-distribution plate in the lengthwise direction of the plate, and between which a holding space is formed for the bracket element, and that the front of the bracket element has at least one recess that corresponds to the catching element so that the bracket element can be placed into the holding space.

  • Publication number: 20120273029
    Abstract: A self-supporting solar array includes a plurality of solar modules and a substructure that supports the solar modules and connects them to each other. The substructure defines a plurality of module positions at each of which a solar module is arranged. Module positions configured as S-module positions are provided in the substructure, and they each have a wind deflector that covers up a passage opening leading to the bottom of the solar module arranged in each S-module position. Aside from the S-module positions, the substructure also has module positions configured as F-module positions in which at least part of the passage opening is free, whereas it is covered by the wind deflector in the case of an S-module position.

  • Publication number: 20110278411
    Abstract: A mounting foot for solar modules is disclosed. The mounting foot includes a base body having at least one stand space with which the mounting foot can be supported on a substrate, an upper support connected to the base body for a first inclined modular panel and a lower support connected to the base body for a second inclined modular panel not coplanar with the first modular panel. The upper support is at a greater distance from a plane spanned by the stand space than is the lower support. Also disclosed is a mounting system having a plurality of such mounting feet and a mounting method.
