A wire basket system formed of a wire basket and a support bracket that secures the wire basket to the ceiling by a threaded rod. The support bracket includes a main member with a top, a bottom, a first end, a second end, a first side, and a second side. A first arm extends downwardly from the first side of the main member and a second arm extends downwardly from the second side of the main member. The first arm and the second arm include a J-shaped hook. The J-shaped hooks of the first and second arms are aligned thereby enabling the support bracket to receive a wire of the wire basket in the wire basket system.

Trapeze support bracket for a wire basket

A bracket secured to adjacent cable baskets to form a cable routing pathway. The bracket includes a splice and a locking latch slidingly secured to the splice. The splice has a base with a top, a bottom, a first end, and a second end. The first end member extends from the first end of the base and a second end member extends from the second end of the base. The first end member and the second end member each include a vertical slot. The locking latch extends through the vertical slot of the first end member and the vertical slot of the second end member to secure the splice to the adjacent cable baskets.

Locking snap-on splice for cable basket

Certain embodiments of the present invention provide a hook and loop tie for securing a bundle of cables. The hook and loop tie comprises a loop component, a non-slip component, and a hook component. The loop component has a first end and a second end opposite the first end. The non-slip component is affixed to the loop component and extends from the first end of the loop component toward the second end of the loop component. The hook component is affixed to the loop component, extends from the second end of the loop component toward the first end of the loop component, and overlaps at least a portion of the non-slip component.

Hook and loop tie with a non-slip area

The present invention is directed toward an elastomeric releasable cable tie having a head and a strap extending from the head. The head includes an end wall, an inner wall and sidewalls. The end wall, inner wall and sidewalls define a channel that extends from an entrance end to an exit end of the head. The head also includes a hingeless wedge extending from the end wall into the channel for engaging the strap.

Elastomeric releasable cable tie

Certain embodiments of the present invention provide a hook and loop tie for securing a bundle of cables. The hook and loop tie comprises a loop component, a hook component, and a non-slip component. The loop component has a first end, a second end opposite the first end, and a plurality of loop fastening elements. The hook component is affixed to the loop component, extends from the first end of the loop component toward the second end of the loop component, and has a plurality of hook fastening elements. The non-slip component is affixed to the loop component, extends from the second end of the loop component toward the first end of the loop component, and overlaps at least a portion of the hook component.

A microhook and loop fastening and detaching assembly comprising a web including a plurality of malleable loops formed integral with one surface of the web, and a plurality of hooks attached to another surface of the web, wherein the loops are adapted to removably engage the hooks. The hooks are equidistantly-arrayed in a plurality of linear rows on the hook side of the web in a staggered manner across the width of the web, such that each hook in a given row is located between two hooks of an adjacent row. The centerline distance between hooks in adjacent rows in the machine direction of the web is greater than the equidistant centerline dimension between adjacent hooks in the same cross-web row. Each hook includes a pedestal attached to the hook side of the web, and a head portion forming part of the pedestal. The head portion extends in a radial direction beyond the radial extent of the pedestal, and the head portion comprises a flat horizontal underside, or a slightly canted underside extending from a radiused connection between the head portion and the pedestal to a rim of the head portion.

Microhook fastener apparatus

A network cable bundling tool is disclosed, comprising an inner fitting retained within an outer jacket assembly. The outer jacket assembly comprises a first outer jacket half coupled to a substantially identical second outer jacket half, securing the inner fitting therein. The outer jacket assembly comprises a cylindrical housing, an intake orifice defined within the intake housing, and a plurality of funneling projections coupled to the cylindrical housing wherein the plurality of funneling projections form an array assuming the general shape of a truncated faceted cone. In operation, network cable wires are inserted into the inner fitting, and the inner fitting is then secured within the outer jacket assembly. The network cable bundling tool is then displaced in the desired direction of combing, arranging the network cables into an organized and space-efficient shape.

Network cable bundling tool

Certain embodiments of the present invention provide an apparatus for retaining a plug in an outlet. The apparatus includes a pair of arms and a body slidably connected to the arms. The arms are connected to the outlet. The body slides along the arms to retain the plug in the outlet.

Plug retention device

Certain embodiments of the present invention provide an apparatus for retaining a plug in an outlet. The apparatus includes a body and a pair of arms slidably connected to the body. The arms are secured to the outlet. The body slides along the arms in a first direction to retain the plug in the outlet.

A cable tie for bundling together a plurality of elongated objects, the cable tie including an elongated flexible strap having opposing ends, a locking head defining a pair of strap passageways, each of the passageways having an inlet end and an outlet end, and a pair of locking devices, each of the pair being mounted to the locking head and at least partially within one of the passageways, the locking devices being configured and oriented relative to the respective passageways so as to permit the ends of the strap to be inserted into the inlet ends of the passageways, and threaded through the passageways, such that the ends emerge from the outlet ends of the passageways, the locking devices being unidirectional so as to prevent the strap ends from being pulled back through the respective passageways in a direction moving from the outlet ends back toward the inlet ends.

The present invention provides a hand held racquet having a racquet face for striking a ball, and having at least one mirror plane intersecting the planar surface, a shaft assembly connected to the racquet face and a handle assembly connected to the shaft assembly, having a grip portion designed to be grasped by the hand of the user. The grip portion has a longitudinal axis and a grip center, wherein the longitudinal axis intersects the mirror plane at an angle of about 5.degree. to 17.degree., substantially in the plane of the racquet face. The grip center is substantially in a mirror plane, and the grip portion incorporates at least one surface which is substantially parallel to the racquet face. The present invention also provides a hand held racquet wherein the handle assembly is connected in a manner fiat enables the angle of intersection between the longitudinal axis of the grip portion and the mirror plane to be adjusted in a rang of about 1.degree. to 90.degree..

Sports racquet with offset angled handle

An automatic harness testing apparatus test a multiconductor single connector wire harness for continuity faults in each conductive path of the wire harness by capacitively inducing an oscillatory test signal through the insulation of the conductors, probing each of the terminals of the connector and sequentially testing each probe for the presence of a test signal having a predetermined amplitude.
