Abstract: A wrap bracket assembly includes a clamp and a push-on nut. The clamp includes a first attachment flange defining a first attachment opening, a second attachment flange defining a second attachment opening. A loop portion is disposed between the first attachment flange and the second attachment flange. The push-on nut defines a receptacle opening having teeth that extend radially inwardly and partially extend across the first attachment opening. The push-on nut includes an outer leg and an inner leg that are clipped to the first attachment flange in an open position. The crimp tab is bent over the second attachment flange to hold the first and second attachment flanges together in a closed position.

Abstract: Loppers include first and second elongated handles that are both directly connected and indirectly connected through a linkage assembly. The first handle has a static blade having a concave shearing edge extending generally transverse from the longitudinal axis of the first handle. The second handle has a curved end portion that curves toward the first handle and is pivotally secured to the static blade. An articulated blade has a convex cutting edge and is rotatably secured to the static blade. A link connects the curved end portion to an end of the articulated blade. Movement of the second handle relative to the first handle pivots the curved end portion about the static blade, thereby moving the cutting edge relative to the shearing edge via the link. The static blade and articulate blade are offset from the handles and extend generally transverse to the longitudinal axis of the first handle.

Abstract: A captivating clamp assembly includes a base clamp and a retainer clamp that are connected by a T-shaped end received in a U-shaped opening. A bendable tab is offset relative to the transversely adjacent portions of the clamp assembly in an assembly position. The bendable tab interlocks the T-shaped end in a passageway in a retention position. A grommet may be assembled between the base clamp and retainer clamp for holding elongated members on a support structure.

Abstract: A damper assembly is provided with a grommet and a tubular clamp. The grommet includes a split tubular body that defines a substantially cylindrical cavity for receiving an elongated member. The split tubular body includes an oblong projection that extends radially outward. The tubular clamp defines a cavity for receiving the grommet within. The tubular clamp includes an axially extending gap and a slot formed through, wherein the slot is sized for receiving the oblong projection for locating the grommet to the tubular clamp. Wherein a longitudinal length of the grommet extends substantially beyond a length the tubular clamp for damping vibration of the elongated member.

Abstract: A wrap bracket assembly is provided for securing an elongated member. The assembly includes a bracket with a clamp extending from a base to wrap around the elongated member. The clamp defines an aperture, and includes side edges that extend around the elongated member. The assembly also includes a grommet forming a split tubular body that defines a substantially cylindrical cavity. The body has an axially extending opening through which the elongated member is inserted into the cavity. The body includes a pair of flanges, each of which engages one of the first and second side edges to nest the grommet within the clamp. A projection is provided that extends radially outward from the body and is received in the aperture to circumferentially align the grommet with the bracket.

Abstract: A clamp for attaching an elongated member to a supporting surface includes a curved portion, a base strip and a securing strip. The base strip includes flanges that define a catch on opposite lateral sides of the base strip. The securing strip is received between the catches formed on the locking flange that engage upstanding locked flanges formed on the securing strip.

Abstract: A clamp assembly is provided with a first clamp portion and a second clamp portion. The first clamp portion includes a first anchoring end, a first interlocking end with an interlocking aperture projecting therethrough, and a first curved portion formed between the first anchoring end and the first interlocking end. The second clamp portion includes a second anchoring end that is configured for alignment with the first anchoring end, a second interlocking end that is received by the interlocking aperture of the first interlocking end, and a second curved portion that cooperates with the first curved portion to collectively form a support. The second interlocking end includes a tab having a transverse orientation for insertion into the interlock aperture, that is sized to extend beyond a width of the interlock aperture when plastically deformed for locking the second clamp portion to the first clamp portion.

Abstract: A grommeted clamp assembly is provided for securing an elongated member to an underlying surface.
