Abstract: An support rack system, which may be electrically conductive, has one or more generally horizontal crossbars. Each crossbar has a front face and a spaced-apart rear face. Each of the crossbar faces is interconnected at one or more spaced-apart locations to reveal at least one pocket. The crossbar faces are matingly connected adjacent at least one of the pockets. The mating connection of the crossbars has at least one aperture penetrating therethrough. The rack system also has one or more generally parallel, vertically oriented support bars. At least one of the support bars bears a mechanism adapted to attach said crossbars to said support bar with one or more of the crossbar aperture or the crossbar pocket.

Abstract: A chimney damper and cap system containing a support base securable to the top of a chimney flue, an increased air flow bracket containing a support tube opening, an inner support tube secured to the bottom of the chimney cap, an outer support tube into which the inner support tube is slidably engaged, an inner and outer spring substantially contained within the inner and outer support tube, wherein the inner spring is secured to the chimney cap, and a damper cable secured to the inner spring, wherein the outer spring biases the chimney cap to an open position.

Abstract: A retaining tip for releasable attachment to a rod having a cross-section in which two arms are attached to one another at one end of each by a circular wound helical spring. The other end of each arm is configured to retain parts or objects which are to be processed. The circular spring may be mechanically opened to receive the circular rod and then released to frictionally engage the rod. Clips utilizing a similar design are used to join cross members to build up an electroplating or painting fixture. An alternative support rack is constructed by means of releasable attachment of side bar members to cross bars.
