  • Patent number: 5590859
    Abstract: A hanger assembly for managing pipes, cables, etc. is described having the capability to swivel, easily adjust height and with respect to pipes, reduce noise/vibration associated therewith by containing the pipe suspended thereby in a ratcheting holder. The hanger assembly employs a single hanger pin so that the swiveling capability is provided. The invention further, simplifies the installation of a pipe, in particular, and also of other conduits in need of management/suspension since the hanger can be affixed to a joist, rafter or stud at an estimated location.

  • Patent number: 5407642
    Abstract: A clip mount air freshener assembly has an air freshening element, and a holder providing a channel which slidably seats the air freshening element, and a spring mounting clip for mounting the air freshener assembly on the grill of a ventilator so that a stream of air issuing therefrom will flow over the exposed surface of the air freshening element. In the preferred embodiment, the holder and the clip are separate members, with each of the members providing pivot surfaces. A connector between the holder and the clip provides pivoting elements, pivotable on the pivot surfaces to provide pivotal motion of the holder in two orthogonal axes of rotation with respect to the spring mounting clip.
