Abstract: System and method for supporting an electrical, conductor-carrying set of end to end pipes or enclosures to form an Iso Phase bus for electrical power transmission. The multiple tubular components are axially aligned in the field by a system comprising a saddle support with support legs, brackets for the support legs wherein the brackets secure to the upper flange of an I-beam on a steel support held in the ground. The brackets are adjustably secured to the legs of the saddle support and to the flange of the I-beam. In addition, an over the top enclosure, thin metal strap is provided which is also secured to the bracket and to the flange of the I-beam. Adjustments of the orientation of one enclosure to the adjacent connecting enclosure is able to be done in three axis.

Abstract: A system comprises a thermoelectric device, and a baseplate coupled to a first side of the thermoelectric device. The system also comprises a band coupled to the baseplate and a container. The band may be adjustable in a circumference and configured to thermally couple the baseplate and the container.

Abstract: The invention relates to a clamp comprising a clamp band having a clamping head with two clamping jaws, in each of which a guide-through opening is formed, through which a clamping element for clamping the clamp is guided, wherein at least one contact surface is formed on a respective edge of the guide-through openings, on which contact surface a support surface of the clamping element can at least partially be contacted. In order to achieve minimum inner tensions in the clip, the clamping jaws are arranged at an angle to one another, wherein at least one reinforcing bead is formed in the clamping jaws and one of the clamping jaws has an anti-rotation means for the clamping element.

Abstract: The present Invention concerns a clamp (20) for mounting upon an elongate member such as a riser (24) to be deployed underwater. The clamp may for example be intended to prevent movement of a buoyancy module along a riser. The clamp comprises a plurality of clamp bodies (22) to be placed at circumferential intervals about the elongate member. A strap (42) is provided which is to be placed around the clamp bodies and tensioned to urge the clamp bodies toward the elongate member, enabling the clamp to resist movement along it. The clamp bodies comprise respective spring elements (28) which are arranged, when the clamp is assembled and mounted, between the clamp bodies and the elongate member. The clamp bodies and the spring elements are shaped to permit them to be used in clamps having a range of different diameters and having a differing number of clamp bodies.

Abstract: A hose clamp includes a binding belt, which has a recess and a protruding portion respectively disposed at front and back sides of one end thereof, a plurality of through holes disposed around the recess, and a plurality of retaining portions in communication with the through holes, and a screw holder, which holds a screw for joining the ends of the binding belt and, which has two mounting plates respectively stopped at two sides of the protruding portion and fastened to the through holes of the binding belt and a plurality of locating rods respectively extended from two sides of each mounting plate and respectively fastened to the retaining portions.

Abstract: A connection of a hose clamp and a hose has a rubber-elastic ring that surrounds the hose detachably and with elastic pretension. The ring is positioned underneath a clamp strap of the hose clamp. The ring has radial hook-shaped first projections for locking the clamp strap of the hose clamp between the first projections by engaging across edges of the clamp strap. The first projections are formed on edges of the ring. The thickness of the ring in an area located axially between the first projections is 5% to 9% of the wall thickness of the hose.

Abstract: A portable grinding machine (10) includes an elongated housing (12, 14) and an output shaft (16) projecting at a right angle to the housing axis for receiving a disk-shaped rotary clamping tool. The output shaft is encompassed by a substantially cylindrical clamping collar (30), on which a shell-like protective cover (20) is secured in a tensile manner against rotation and axial displacement and which serves for encompassing the clamping tool (18) and which can be attached on the clamping collar (30) with a ring-shaped tensioning belt (28). The tensioning belt (28) has sharp-edged projections (32) projecting to the clamping collar, which upon clamping, born into the clamping collar and are held there in a form-locking manner (a shell-like tensioning band).

Abstract: A pipe joint incldues joint main body having securing through holes respectively formed at positions spaced apart from the two ends of the joint main body by a given distance in the longitudinal direction thereof for securing hook portions, and a plurality of flange bodies each including hook portions respectively formed on one end side thereof to be inserted and secured to the respective securing holes and a flange portion formed on the other end side thereof and having a connecting hole.

Abstract: A clamp structure with a clamping band whose ends are drawn together by a screw-type tightening mechanism that includes a first band tightening member secured near one band end, a second band tightening member secured near the other band end and a screw member for drawing together the first and second tightening members; one of the band tightening members is of at least semi-circular shape and is retained in a loop-like pocket formed by an end portion of the clamping band externally bent back upon itself and secured to the underlying band portion while the other tightening member also of at least semi-cylindrical shape is retained in a loop-like pocket formed by a separate clamping band part whereby the two loop-like pockets are spaced from one another defining a gap; a stepless internal configuration of the clamping surfaces of the clamping band is assured by a tongue-like extension at the inner band portion adapted to engage in a channel-like indentation provided in the outer clamping band portion; to relia

Abstract: A self-retightening screw-type clamp with predetermined adjusting range for a given clamp size, attained by a predetermined number of apertures provided in the inner band portion of a separate band part in conjunction with a sleeve member of predetermined length interposed between the retightening spring and a part-cylindrical tightening member. The full adjusting range of the screw member is made possible by deforming the threads near its free end. Additionally, to facilitate assembly, the inner band portion of the separate band part is provided with a tongue-like extension which is adapted to engage with a latching device formed in the clamping band so as to hold the tongue-like extension of the inner band portion of the separate clamping band part at least close to the outer surface of the clamping band.

Abstract: A hose clamp with a clamping band having two ends which are drawn together by a screw-type mechanism that includes a first band-tightening member secured near one band end, a second band-tightening member secured near the other band end, and a screw member for drawing together the first and second members; one of these band-tightening members is thereby securely held in place by an end portion of the clamping band externally bent back upon itself and secured to the underlying band portion while the other member is retained by a separate band part which is also externally bent back upon itself with the outer bent-back end portion secured to the underlying band portion of the separate part while the latter is secured to the clamping band itself; to assure a stepless internal configuration of the clamping surfaces of the clamping band, the inner end of the clamping band terminates in a tongue-like extension adapted to engage in a groove-like indentation provided near the other end of the clamping band.

Abstract: A hose clamp wherein one end of the clamping band is movable to any desired longitudinal position of the band so as to initially take up the slack of the band during installation of the hose clamp. This same end is held without being permanently attached to the clamping mechanism.
