Abstract: An armor for a bridge cable including a specified number of trough-shaped metal covers for covering a bridge cable formed of PC steel wire bundles, male and female fitting parts provided on both side edges of the covers for being fitted to each other, and elastic spacers fitted into and connected to the inside of the cover and having concave parts formed thereon for maintaining the PC steel wire bundles in a mass or assembled state. A joint of the cable cover includes a seal member constituted by a specified number of elastic trough-shaped divided bodies for covering the outer periphery of the cable cover by abutting against each other on the side edges thereof, protrusions projecting from the middle of the inside of each divided body for insertion between the facing end edges of the cable covers, and engaging parts projecting from both ends of the outer surface of the divided body.

Abstract: A portable water container is disclosed having an inner bag formed of a flexible water impermeable sheet and an outer protective covering for the bag formed of a wear-resistant fabric; a tubular drain and fill conduit mounted in aligned openings in the bag and covering; and a releasable seal clamping the sheet forming the inner bag in a watertight sealed connection for sealing the conduit to and in flow communication with such bag; and a clamp securing the conduit in a load-bearing attachment to the covering.

Abstract: A fabric mounting track system which permits one to mount a fabric to cover a wall without the need to utilize weltings and other devices to cover unsightly parts of the system. The fabric mounting track consists of two parts, a back support plate and a hinge lock plate. The hinge lock plate has a straight portion at one end and a substantially circular portion at the other end forming a hinge. The hinge is disposed in a plane spaced from the straight portion. The back support plate also has a substantially circular portion at one end forming a larger hinge into which the smaller hinge of the hinge lock plate fits. Extending from the straight portion of the back support plate at an acute angle is a ledge, while the other end terminates in a straight portion forming a small angle, and may have its free end extending in the opposite direction. The hinge lock plate is provided with substantially equally spaced lancings punched out from the straight portion of the hinge plate.

Abstract: An auxiliary support system for use with a line-post insulator of an electric power transmission system includes a tension member of electrically insulating material coupled between a tower and the junction of a conductor support with the outboard terminus of the line-post insulator. A clamp formed of two juxtaposed jaws bends downwards to clear the conductor and support, and then bends inwardly to grip the terminus and secure it to the tension member. Attachment of the auxiliary support can be accomplished without disruption of the electric power.

Abstract: Described is an arrangement for securing a water-impervious flexible web (10) comprising an elastomer on a walling means (6) to be sealed, in particular a flat roof, having a holder member (1) which can be secured to the walling means (6) and which has a projection (5) with an outwardly projecting side bead (7) forming an undercut configuration (8), and an outer securing member (11), with the web (10) being arranged to be clamped between the holder member (1) and the outer securing member (11).

Abstract: A device for clamping a cable or similar article comprising two identical members. A pair of positioning arms and the latch of one clamp member engage positioning arm guides and a catch of the other member and vice-versa. Both clamp members together retain and hold the cable. The clamp may be mounted to a panel via an optionally provided mounting anchor connected to the base of each clamp member.

Abstract: A device for mechanically joining sheet material, comprising a separable fastener which may have a pair of complementary extruded plastic members provided with resiliently separable interlocking fastener profiles, and at least one, and generally both, of the fastener members having releasable jaw extension structure for receiving and gripping and retaining sheet material to be joined. In certain forms, the jaw structure includes locking bar means arranged to be inserted into a cavity of the jaw structure. The jaw structure may be extruded from a plastic of greater durometer than the interlocking profiles.

Abstract: A clamping apparatus includes a first member defining a slot aperture with a wider portion and a narrower portion, and a second member with an arcuate portion for extension about an object to be clamped between the members. The second member has an end portion defining a plurality of pairs of notches, the notches of each pair being defined in opposite side edges of the end portion and being adapted to engage in the slot aperture of the first member upon insertion and rotation thereof relative to the first member. Fastener means, preferably a threaded fastener, is adjustable in position relative to the first member to retain and space the second member portion from the first member a selected distance to clamp an object of particular size between the first and second members.

Abstract: A readily assembled and detachable clamp for securing an electrical connector to a base. The clamp has a lower leg which extends horizontally and terminates in a reverse bend extending into an upper leg which from the reverse bend tapers upwardly over the lower leg to a flat portion lying over the lower leg. This portion terminates at the outer end in an upright leg which acts as a stop for the head of a screw which is threaded through a threaded hole in the flat portion of the upper leg and into engagement with the lower leg to clamp the latter to the base as well as to the electrical connector and also the upright leg provides a handle to insert and remove the clamp and align it properly in place.

Abstract: A clamping member for forming a branch-off seal between a recoverable sleeve and more than one substrate extending from an end of the sleeve, comprises at least two interengageable parts that define channels. The parts are assembled on the end of the sleeve such that the clamping member defines ducts for the substrates. Use of a clamping member having interengageable parts, rather than an integral member, makes fixing at the end of the sleeve easier.
