  • Patent number: 10814954
    Abstract: An insulation system comprises a first insulation blanket and a second insulation blanket. The first insulation blanket extends circumferentially within a curved body. The second insulation blanket extends circumferentially within the curved body and covers a zero position of the curved body. A portion of the second insulation blanket covers a portion of the first insulation blanket so that the portion of the second insulation blanket is between the portion of the first insulation blanket and the curved body to form an overlap. The overlap is positioned within a range having an absolute value of 5 to 40 degrees from the zero position of the curved body.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 6851653
    Abstract: A system for supporting loads includes a track having uniformly spaced apertures separated by necks. A bracket is mounted on the track and has two groups of studs which are positioned in the necks and prevent the bracket from pulling away from the track. Neighboring studs in both groups have identical center-to-center spacings. Two plugs pass through holes in the bracket and into respective ones of the apertures. The plugs fix the bracket against movement relative to the track longitudinally and transversely of the latter. The distance between a plug hole and any stud equals one-half the center-to-center spacing of neighboring studs of a group or an integral multiple of one-half such spacing. A locking member passes through an additional hole in the bracket and frictionally engages the track to prevent the plugs from pulling out of the respective apertures during an impact.
