A rail support for overhead conveyors in the form of a one piece metal stamping derived from a flat metal blank having an edge configuration which allows the blank to be progressively bent to provide a bifurcated clamping portion and a rail seat portion.

A cable (31) or other track (31) is supported at points along its length by track support brackets (20) that define and shape the course of the track (31), providing corners, curves, and other direction changes. A track-traveling element (40) is provided that can travel along the track (31) unimpeded by the track supports (20). The track support (20) and the track-traveling elements (40) can pass by the track support brackets (20) without manipulation. The track support has an arcuate arm (23) having a center of curvature and an arm radius defining a circular segment. The track-traveling element (40) has a passageway surrounding the track, a pivoting axis, and a slot (43) communicating with the passageway. The slot (43) is spaced from the pivoting axis by a distance substantially equal to the arm radius of the track support (20). The pivoting axis and the arcuate arms (23) center of curvature are arranged to be coincident within a predetermined tolerance, so that the slot (43) passes the arcuate arm (23) despite pivoting of the track-traveling element (40) throughout a substantial range of angles about the pivoting axis. The system can be used for various purposes including carrying loads in a conveyor system, protection of a worker in a fall-arrest system, controlling an animal in an animal-tethering system, and supporting and guiding draperies.

Disclosed is a system for mounting the power unit consisting of the engine and transmission of a vehicle, which comprises an elongated tube-like resilient mount with an elliptic cross section for mounting the power unit on the part of its surface positioned adjacent to the plane formed by connecting the longest diameters of both ends thereof, and a mount support for supporting the resilient mount on the body of the vehicle, wherein the resilient mount is fixedly supported on the mount support by means of a first bolt-nut combination and the support mount on the body also by means of a second bolt-nut combination.

A traveller for a fall arrest system comprises a body having a passage therethrough, a slot narrower than the passage linking the passage to the exterior of the body, and a load member suitable to attach the traveller to fall safety equipment The slot is formed between an inner gate extending outwardly relative to the passage and an outer gate extending inwardly relative to the passage, the inner gate and outer gate having respective opposed convex surfaces defining the slot between them The traveller is arranged such that when the traveller is mounted on a support the inner gate and outer gate lie on a common radius of respective concentric circles about the support

Safety Line Traveller and Support

A system and apparatus for constructing a work platform under a bridge deck that has a decking segment that moves under the bridge deck from one end to the other as work progresses, eliminating the need for constructing decking under the entire length of the bridge deck. The decking segment hangs from a plurality of trolleys that move along a plurality of rails beneath the bridge deck, the trolleys moving the decking segment from one end of the bridge deck to another. The trolley has at least one main wheel that runs on the tubular rail top and a plurality of side wheels that maintain the trolley on the tubular rail, the trolley smoothly moving along the tubular rail.
