Abstract: Apparatus for securing the working end of an elongated flexible conductor of fluid or electricity to an elevated work platform comprising a locking C clamp having movable opposed jaws adapted to secure the clamp to the platform and where one of the clamping jaws mounts an adapter that provides an attachment point for connecting a hose or electrical cable to the platform, thus eliminating the necessity of a workman on the platform supporting the weight of and controlling a long length of hose or cable extending from the platform to the ground.

Abstract: A support element configured for supporting a heat collection element (HCE) of a solar concentrator in a solar thermal power plant is provided. The support element comprises a post engaging portion being configured for being pivotally articulated to the top of an HCE support post, and an HCE engaging portion being configured for retaining therein the HCE.

Abstract: A flash drive protection structure includes a decoration cover and a protective cover. The decoration cover that is made by elastic materials includes a cover block and a receiving space spacedly. The cover block has a cover hole facing the receiving space, and a connecting post is formed inside the receiving space. The protective cover has a first and a second surface, and the protective cover is disposed in the receiving space of the decoration cover through the first surface, while the second surface is exposed outside the decoration cover. The protective cover has a connecting hole at the first surface to connect the connecting post of the decoration cover. Also, the protective cover has a receiving trough toward the cover block, and one end of the flash drive is plugged into the receiving trough, while the other end is plugged into the cover hole of the cover block.

Abstract: An electronic device enclosure includes an inner tray and an outer tray. The inner tray includes a bottom plate. The outer tray receiving the inner tray and includes a base wall with a first bridge. The first bridge includes two first connecting panels and a first mounting panel between the two first connecting panels. Each of the two first connecting panels is slanted relative to the base wall. An acreage of the first mounting panel is less than an acreage of the base wall, and the base wall is engaged with the bottom plate via the first mounting panel by attaching the first mounting panel to the bottom plate, to decrease a contacting acreage between the base wall and the bottom plate.

Abstract: A stowable device for ejecting fluids onto the underside and wheel regions of a vehicle includes a base member joined at one end to a handle member such that the angle between the members can be controllably varied and retained at a desired angle. A source of fluid is coupled through flexible tubing terminating in a fluid jet disposed adjacent the base member distal end. The desired angle is determined by a length of cord extending from base to handle member. The exposed cord length is user-controllable by lockably spooling excess cord length into a rotatable spool reservoir attached to the handle member. User-adjustment of the desired angle also determined handle height above ground. Alternatively, the desired angle (and handle height above ground) is user-determined by adjusting effective length of a rigid rod.

Abstract: A stand for use in pouring concrete is provided. The stand includes a boom that is configured for holding a hose for use in dispensing concrete slurry therefrom. The stand also has a column that supports the boom. A base is present and extends from the column. The base also provides stability to the column to help prevent it from tipping over. In other variations, the height of the boom can be adjustable with respect to the base. Also in other variations the boom may be configured so as to pivot or rotate with respect to the base.

Abstract: A universal hose clamp includes a universal hose locating mechanism, a hose coupling for connecting a hose to the hose clamp, and securing structure for securing the locating mechanism to a support structure. The universal hose clamp may be employed to secure a hose to an existing support structure or to a portable independent frame. The universal hose clamp is designed to be adaptable for use with a range of hose diameters and as such the universal hose clamp can be employed in a wide range of emergency situations. When deployed the universal hose clamp enables rotating the hose coupling in any direction and thereafter the hose coupling can be locked in that position. Therefore, with the aid of the universal hose clamp only one operator is required to control a hose device in an emergency situation.

Abstract: A core has ends with an exterior surface. The core is adapted to receive a hose. End plates are mounted with respect to the ends of the core for constraining a hose on the core. A crank is coupled to the core. The crank is adapted to be grasped by a user and rotated for coiling a hose onto the core. A squeezing assembly is formed of an upper roller and a lower roller. The squeezing assembly is mounted for vertical movement with springs. The springs urge the rollers toward each other. In this manner a hose passes between the rollers while being coiled up on the core and will have liquid removed there from.

Abstract: A novel stand and support for gravity-fed spray guns wherein the spray gun is mounted to the present invention securely and placed in a substantially upright position. The stand is conformed to allow for the unobstructed passage of an attached air hose and further conformed to rest on the user's arm if necessary.

Abstract: An endotracheal tube holder has a body which is secured by a pair of non-stretchable, head encircling straps to overlie the patient's mouth and portions of the cheeks. The straps, which are adapted to extend, one above and the other below, the patient's ears, have one-way tightening adjustability by pawl action. The body is integrally molded to incorporate a quick-acting clamp having three integral hinges, one hinge pivotally connecting a pair of jaws of the clamp and the other two hinges supporting the jaws from resilient arms for snap-action between open and closed positions. The clamp is operative to secure or release the endotracheal tube while the straps retain the body in position on the mouth against dislodgment.
