20140115822 | CABLE BUSHING - In a cable bushing capable reliably prevent slip-off while also making assembly easy, a cutout and a raised section are formed so as to regulate the turning of a base member and the interlocking section of a cable holding member. A base ridge is formed on the outer circumferential surface of the base member, and a cap ridge is formed on the inner circumferential surface of the back end of the cap member, enabling the cap member to be rotationally pushed onto the base member. In order to regulate the turning of the cable holding member and the cap member as well as prevent the cap member from slipping off the cable holding member, an engaging section is formed on the cable holding member, and an engaging receiver engaged by the engaging section in the turning direction and the front-to-back direction is formed on the cap member. | 05-01-2014 |
20140150204 | ASSEMBLY FOR MAINTAINING SEPARATION BETWEEN SPRING ASSEMBLY AND HINGE BRACKET THUS REDUCING INADVERTENT STRIKING - An apparatus comprising: a hinge bracket; a spring assembly configured to operatively interact with the hinge bracket; and a separation assembly being configured to permit relative movement between the hinge bracket and the spring assembly without permitting the spring assembly and the hinge bracket from inadvertently striking against each other, whereby occurrence of unwanted noise associated with the spring assembly and the hinge bracket striking each other is reduced. | 06-05-2014 |
20140150205 | Bushing for Coupling with a Component - This invention relates to a bushing for coupling with a component and a method for avoiding a relative movement between the bushing and the component. The bushing includes a form-fit means which is integrally formed with the bushing. The form-fit means is deformed such that after a deformation the form-fit means is in positive connection with the component, so that a relative movement between the bushing and the component is prevented. | 06-05-2014 |
20140325790 | STRUCTURE OF MOUNTING GROMMET - A structure of mounting a grommet according to one embodiment includes: the grommet with: a cylindrical portion for covering a wire harness inserted into a panel hole formed at a panel; and a cylindrical portion provided at an end portion of the cylindrical portion and adhered tightly to the panel in such a manner as to cover an edge portion of the panel hole. When the grommet is mounted to the panel, the cylindrical portion is disposed on a room inside, and the wire harness and the cylindrical portion are upwardly inclined. | 11-06-2014 |
20150007412 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR THERMALLY BONDING GROMMETS TO FABRIC - Apparatus and methods are disclosed for bonding first and second grommet portions positioned on opposite sides of a sheet by means of localized heat and pressure applied to the first and second grommet portions. Heat and pressure may be applied by first and second pedestals positioned facing the first and second grommet portions. A registration post may secure to the first pedestal and extend through apertures in the grommet portions and sheet. The second pedestal may define an aperture for receiving the registration post. The registration post may be resiliently mounted to the first pedestal and be depressible into the first pedestal. The first and second grommet portions may have a lower melting temperature than the sheet and may bond to one another through an aperture defined by the sheet. | 01-08-2015 |
20150040345 | VEHICLE GROMMET AND METHOD - A vehicle grommet includes a cylindrical body having a first axial end and a second axial end, a first circumferential groove defined into the cylindrical body at a first location spaced between the first and second axial ends and a second circumferential groove defined in the cylindrical body at a second location spaced between the first and second axial ends and spaced apart from the first circumferential groove. The first circumferential groove is configured to mount the cylindrical body within a first panel aperture defined in an associated first panel. The second circumferential groove is configured to mount the cylindrical body within in a second panel aperture defined in an associated second panel. A first panel aperture diameter of the first panel aperture varies relative to a second panel aperture diameter of the second panel aperture. | 02-12-2015 |
20150047147 | GROMMET FOR CABLE HANGER - A grommet adapted for insertion into a cable hanger includes a generally C-shaped main body formed of a polymeric material and having a longitudinal axis. Such a grommet can be securely held by a cable hanger. | 02-19-2015 |
20150059124 | END-FITTING FOR ROUTING CABLES WITHIN VEHICLES - An end-fitting assembly for routing a cable on a vehicle chassis in a predetermined direction. The assembly includes a mounting element and end-fitting element. The mounting element includes a mounting portion, attached to the vehicle chassis, and a flange portion, having a mounting aperture with a keyway formed in the mounting aperture periphery. The end-fitting element is generally tubular in form and sized to engage the mounting aperture, and it includes a retainer element on the end-fitting, adapted to engage the mounting aperture; a locking assembly, including a key adapted to engage the keyway; and a directional tube, extending from the mounting element in the pre-determined direction, adapted to carry the cable. | 03-05-2015 |
20150113764 | T-STYLE GROMMET ATTACHMENT SYSTEM AND METHOD - A grommet is provided for protecting and securing a conveyance system component routed through an aperture in a structure. The grommet includes a strap having a first and second side and two or more pairs of ribs formed along at least a portion of the first side of the strap. The ribs cooperatively define a channel for receiving the edge of the aperture. The grommet further includes a plurality of spaced apart perforations formed along at least portion of the length of the strap. | 04-30-2015 |
20150143661 | LINEAR BUSHING AND BUSHING HOUSING ASSEMBLIES AND METHODS - Various implementations include a linear bushing and a bushing housing assembly that allows the linear bushing to be accessed and replaced without removing the bushing housing assembly from a machine in which it is installed. In particular, the assembly includes a hinged bushing housing that opens to allow removal and replacement of the linear bushing. The housing also provides for easy alignment and secure placement of the linear bushing and is more easily accessible to an operator than current bushings and bushing housings. Thread or other fibers may be run through the bushing's longitudinal channel, which serves as a guide for the thread or fibers. In addition, the bushing and housing assembly may be installed in a textile machine or other types of machines that use linear bushings. | 05-28-2015 |
