    摘要: The present solution provides a holder for a cable of an EV charger to maintain the cable at a position in which the cable is not bend or curved beyond a desired minimum radius of curvature, thereby preventing kinks and bends from being formed in the cable as a result of inappropriate storage, prolonging the cable longevity. The solution can include a holder for a cable of a charger for an electric vehicle. The holder can be configured to suspend from a retractor via a cord. The holder can include a handle to couple with the cord and a saddle coupled with the handle to hold the cable. A portion of the saddle can be configured to maintain a curvature of the cable at or above a minimum desired radius of curvature.

    摘要: A roller assembly for facilitating the drawing of a cable along a cable tray having a transversely-extending strut includes one roller having a rotation axis and an elongated attachment portion having a cross-sectional shape which is substantially U-shaped in form. The attachment portion is positionable about the transversely-extending strut of the cable tray by directing the opening of the U of the cross-sectional shape of the attachment portion over the strut. A fastener is used to bind the attachment portion to the strut. A second roller can mounted upon the attachment portion for rotation about an axis which is substantially normal to the rotation axis of the one roller for use at a corner or curve of the tray, and the componentry of the assembly facilitates the construction of a roller-bearing apparatus providing a multi-sided passageway through which a cable can be drawn.

    摘要: A pipe support system is disclosed for protecting industrial piping from fatigue and failure caused by vibrational and thermal forces. The inventive slide bearing pipe support system can accommodate thermal expansion and/or contraction of the pipe under high magnitude thermal loads while resisting movement of the pipe under low magnitude vibratory loads. The frictional force required to resist vibratory movement but to permit thermal movement is dependent upon the torque load provided by bolts connecting upper, lower and central slide bearing plates. The torque on these bolts is specified to generate a specific frictional force between the contact layers of the slide bearing plates, which can resist vibration of the piping under a vibratory load but permit lateral/transverse movement of the pipe under a thermal load. The inventive support system is useful for a variety of vibrational and thermal loads, and with a variety of industrial pipe sizes.

    摘要: Sealing assemblies are described herein useful for high temperature applications, as well as applications involving aggressive chemical reactants, byproducts and/or reaction environments. The assemblies include an outer ring having an interior surface having two inwardly extending projections defining a seal receiving area, an inner ring having an exterior surface having two outwardly extending projections defining a seal receiving area; and a center sealing ring configured to be positioned within the seal receiving areas of the outer ring and the inner ring. When the sealing assembly is installed in a high temperature application, the elastomeric center sealing ring is enclosed within the outer and the inner rings so as to protect the center sealing ring while allowing for thermal expansion of the center sealing ring. In further embodiments, bonded sealing ring bodies are disclosed as well.

    摘要: One embodiment provides a method and apparatus for suspending air conditioning duct works from a support structure comprising unistrut type support beams which apparatus includes a plurality of support brackets arranged and configured for being slidably interlockable with the interior of the unistrut beam members. The support brackets can be slid inside the interior of the support beam until adjacent a support beam which support beam can be connected to the support bracket. In like manner additional support brackets can be inserted into the interior of the support beam members to be adjustably located next to their respective support rod. In such manner multiple support rods can be used to support a frame member even where the support rods are not symmetrically located along the length of the support beam as the support bracket can be slid/moved inside the support beam until lining up with its respective support rod. Additionally, the entire support framework can be moved relative to the plurality of support rods by sliding the framework relative to the support brackets. In such manner the location of the supporting frame member can be changed without moving the support rods.

    摘要: The present disclosure provides example cable management tools, e.g., lacer bars, as well as systems and methods for manufacturing the same. An example cable management tool may comprise: a first part having one or more pairs of slots configured to be filled with cable ties, a second part connected to the first part and configured to be attached to a chassis; and a third part connected to the first part and configured to be attached to the chassis. Each pair, in the one or more pairs, of slots has two slots with a same shape. The first part, the second part, and the third part, of the cable management tool, may be parts of a single metal piece. Alternatively, the second part and the third part are detachable from the first part.
