Abstract:

An extruded or molded elastomeric (e. g. , rubber) or polymeric multi-piece (e. g. , two-piece) modular pipe support system utilizes a wide base with protrusions and/or recesses, and a separate top with recesses and/or protrusions that engage the protrusions and/or recesses of the top.

Appl. No.:

11/021909

Inventors:

Edward Lynch - Akron OH, US
Richard Lees - Stow OH, US

International Classification:

F16L 3/22

US Classification:

248068100

Abstract:

A pipe support includes a base, and a clamp that fits onto a protrusion of the base. The clamp and the base protrusion have opposed rigid pipe-receiving surfaces, thus defining a pipe-receiving area or region between the surfaces. In this area one or more pipes of various sizes may be removably secured. Asymmetric teeth on both the protrusion and legs of the clamp, may be utilized to secure the clamp to the protrusion of the base. The base has a flat bottom for resting flat along a flat surface, such as a roof or ceiling surface. The flat bottom may have an upturned lip to prevent damaging of the flat surface during installation of the pipe support. The flat bottom may also have drainage passages or a channel that may facilitate drainage of rainwater off of the top side of the flat bottom.

International Classification:

F16G 11/04

US Classification:

24136 R, 29428

Abstract:

A device is used for gripping and securing cable for the purpose of suspending objects or loads. The device may be a two-barrel device that allows the user to create a loop of cable to secure to a hanging load, or to a structural member. The user of the locking device feeds the cable through one barrel, around an object to be suspended, and through the other barrel. The device has carriers installed in sockets in a housing, with wedge-shape jaws in openings in the carriers able to engage the cable and hold the cable within the device. Pushing or pulling of the carrier is used to release the spring force pressing the jaws inward, allowing the cable to be removed from the device.

International Classification:

H02G 3/08

US Classification:

174 56

Abstract:

An electrical box includes a box portion that surrounds a volume and has an at least partially open back, a mud ring that is coupled to the front of box portion, and structure mounts that extend out beyond a perimeter of the volume enclosed by the box portion. The structure mounts are used to couple to any of a variety of types of structure, such as a stud, an inter-stud bracket, or other structure. The structure mounts may include integral parts of the mud ring, integral parts of the box portion, or separate brackets that are attached to the box portion and/or the mud ring. Advantages for the electrical box include a reduced number of parts, reduced time and labor for installation, and flexibility in installation.

Assignee:

Erico Products, Inc. - Cleveland OH

International Classification:

F16L 310

US Classification:

24486

Abstract:

A clip for supporting conduit and the like against channels, wire, rod, bar and like structural elements is formed of a metal strip of uniform width throughout its length. The ends of the strip are bent along parallel bend lines extending transversely of the strip at an acute angle to one edge of the strip to form legs extending symmetrically but in opposite directions. The area between the bend lines is provided with an extruded internally threaded aperture for a clamping fastener and opposite corners of the strip are notched to engage the structural element.

Appl. No.:

8/891168

Inventors:

Edward J. Lynch - Akron OH

Assignee:

Erico International Corporation - Solon OH

International Classification:

E21F 1702

US Classification:

248 60

Abstract:

A fireproof cable loop forming strap of substantial width has pockets at each end and may have one intermediate pocket to receive front and rear spreader bars which project beyond the lateral edges of the strap. The projecting ends of the bars are configured to be received in hook tabs projecting from the face of a hanger plate or yoke. The rear spreader bar interfits with the plate or yoke and is preassembled therewith so it cannot be removed. The fireproof strap may be formed of fireproof cloth and has folded and sewn lateral edges in addition to the pockets. The hanger plate or yoke may be mounted directly to a variety of structures or surfaces. With an angle flange and intermediate fasteners the hanger may be secured to a wide variety of structures.

Assignee:

Erico International Corp. - Solon OH

International Classification:

H02G 322
F16L 500

US Classification:

16 2

Abstract:

A plastic grommet for use on metal studs in wall construction protecting wires, cabling, conduit, and the like. The grommet also makes the passing of such utilities easier and quieter. The grommet will function singularly or assembled to a clone. The grommet includes a cylindrical body having an enlarged flange on one end with radially projecting spring snaps on the exterior of the body whereby the grommet may be inserted in a sized hole in the web with the hole edge captured between the snaps and flange. On the other side of the flange are diametrically opposed axially projecting spring fingers. The flange also has two diametrically opposed holes, the fingers and holes being positioned so that two grommets can be joined flange-to-flange by axially rotating one with respect to the other. Two such grommets thus assembled on opposite sides of a rectangular or other irregular or pre-punched hole in the stud web capture the web between the flanges.

Raymond S. Laughlin - Cuyahoga Falls OH

Assignee:

Erico International Corporation - Cleveland OH

International Classification:

E01B 8962

US Classification:

238351

Abstract:

A track circuit retainer clip adapted to be driven on the edge of the base of a rail holds one or a plurality of conductors parallel to and within the rail base edge. The clip comprises a U-shape spring metal clip having a bight portion and upper and lower legs which embrace the rail base edge. The upper leg includes a center spring finger extending from the bight portion which includes two concave side-by-side recesses to hold the conductors against the upper leg. The outer end of the spring finger flares upwardly to facilitate insertion and the lateral edges of the spring finger are bent upwardly to avoid biting into the conductors. The lower leg includes barbs struck from the edge which terminate in truncated biting edges extending substantially parallel to the rail base edge. The line contact transverse the direction of insertion provides ease of insertion and better gripping or holding action without scratching or notching the bottom of the rail.
