  • Patent number: 7861988
    Abstract: The invention relates to a heat exchanger mounting bracket which has a first member with a retaining channel and a second member with a retaining lug. The retaining channel of the first member retains the retaining lug of the second member at an initial mounting position, with a predetermined retaining force, by way of at least a formation on the first member. The retaining channel and lug are releaseable from one another when a force greater than or equal to the predetermined retaining force is applied between the first and second members. A heat exchanger mounting bracket is also provided where a body member is provided with a longitudinal slot toward one end for locating a portion (P) of a heat exchanger, and a pivotal arrangement toward the other end. The pivotal arrangement and longitudinal slot allow displacement of the portion (P) of the heat exchanger from a fore to an aft position upon application of an impact force.

  • Publication number: 20080156456
    Abstract: A mounting bracket for mounting a first component onto a second component, includes a body member having a formation which is engageable with a corresponding formation on the second component to which the first component is to be attached to and an attachment member protruding from the body member. The attachment member is provided with resilient means co-operable with a corresponding formation on the first component.

  • Patent number: 6871754
    Abstract: The container is connected to a tube (1) defining an opening (2) of the container to the outside, the opening being able to be closed by a plug (3) suitable to be introduced by axial sliding into the tube (1). The plug (3) is associated with a plate (7) co-operating with axial locking means (8, 9) provided in the tube (1) and allowing the plate (7) to extend transversally in this in front of the plug (3) to prevent the removal of this when there is an over-pressure in the container. The axial locking means (8, 9) of the plate (7) include a first slot (8) in the wall of the tube (1) and a second slot (9) diametrically opposed to the first slot (8). The plate (7) is suitable to be introduced transversally into the tubular element (1) through the first slot (8) and to project outside the tubular element through the second slot (9).
