Publication number: 20140079468Abstract: A jet pump stabilizer is disclosed and claimed. The stabilizer includes a clamp body that is affixed about the riser pipe. Two U-clamps are connected to the clamp body, each U-clamp positioned about a jet pump mixer section. A wedge assembly is positioned between the clamp body and each mixer pipe, cooperating with the clamp body and U-clamps to laterally restrain the mixer sections. A clamp ring is positioned about each mixer section and retained in place by the U-clamps, wedge assemblies, and clamp body. A sealing ring is moveably connected to the clamp ring such that it is biased toward engagement with the jet pump diffuser. Seals provided on the stabilizer engage the jet pump assembly above and below the slip joint, preventing vibration-inducing leakage through the slip joint.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 20, 2013Publication date: March 20, 2014Applicant: AREVA NP Inc.Inventors: Grant Clark Jensen, Kenneth Wade Markham, Thomas Newland Busic

Publication number: 20140072364Abstract: A clamp assembly is provided for securing a panel or fairing to an I-beam, and comprises a pair of side blocks and a clamping block, together with a single bolt to secure them in place. Each of the side blocks as an inclined wedge surface, and the T-shaped clamping block has similarly sloped wedge surfaces along the sides of the leg of the T. When a bolt this passed through side legs of the side blocks, and through or under the clamping block, a sliding and wedging action between the inclined and sloped wedge surfaces occurs. Moreover, a clamping action between the top surface of the clamping block and the lower surface of the lower flanges of the I-beam is also induced.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 19, 2013Publication date: March 13, 2014Applicant: Laydon Composites Ltd.Inventors: Joseph Mancina, James D.

Patent number: 8596593Abstract: A worksurface leg mount is provided for interconnecting a support leg to a worksurface. The worksurface leg mount system includes an anchor plate attached to a lower surface of the worksurface, and a mounting plate attached to and optionally recessed in an upper end of the support leg. A fastener extends between and connects the anchor and mounting plates, which are spaced from each other. Loads that enter the mounting plate in discrete directions are transmitted through the fastener and into the anchor plate, where the loads are spread across the interfaces between the anchor plate and worksurface.Type: GrantFiled: November 17, 2008Date of Patent: December 3, 2013Assignee: Krueger International, Inc.Inventors: Mark Saffell, David Ritch

Publication number: 20130302085Abstract: Disclosed herein is a joiner (10) comprising an elongate body (12) defining a longitudinal axis (14). Projections (16, 18) extend generally transversely from the body (12) at opposite ends thereof and two spaced apart magnets (20, 22) are located between the projections (16, 18). The magnets (20, 22) are adapted to magnetically connect the joiner (10) to ferrous metal anchor points (i.e. the frames 101, 201) of modular furniture to retain the projections (16, 18) in engagement with the frame of the respective unit of modular furniture (100, 200) and thereby to retain the units of modular furniture together.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 26, 2011Publication date: November 14, 2013Applicant: KING FURNITURE AUSTRALIA PTY LTDInventor: David Russell King
