Abstract: A coupling and anchoring system for coupling lengths of pipe and anchoring the lengths of pipe to a structure comprise a pipe coupling having an external peripheral groove defined by axially facing axial clamp engaging surfaces, said groove receiving an anchoring clamp. The anchoring clamp has corresponding axial coupling engaging surfaces for engaging the axial clamp engaging surfaces of the pipe coupling to restrict axial movement of the pipe coupling when the anchoring clamp is fastened to the structure. The anchoring clamp is formed from arced bands having laterally extending connecting portions and laterally extending arced elements. The laterally extending connecting surfaces and arcs combine to form dual fastener openings for optionally receiving fastening elements perpendicular and parallel to the longitudinal axis of the pipe coupling for optionally anchoring the system to perpendicular and parallel portions of the structure.

Abstract: A fastening device for a conductor rail and a contact line system having fastening devices to which the conductor rail is fastened. The fastening device is in the form of a plastic component. The plastic component has sliding jaws which enclose the conductor rail laterally and can be fixed in a position in which they enclose the fastening piece of the conductor rail from both sides. The fastening device can be produced inexpensively by methods known from plastic processing, for example injection molding methods. Further advantages arise from the fact that plastic material is an electrical insulator. In addition, the plastic material allows the conductor rail to be adjusted in a sliding manner in the fastening device before it is fastened.
