The invention relates to a combination of an electrical heating element and a heat dissipater to be heated thereby; the heating element comprises a substrate, an insulating layer located on the substrate and a thick film conductor located on the insulating layer, wherein the second side of the metallic substrate is in contact with the heat dissipater, comprising a layer of metallic material on its face towards the heater and wherein the substrate is brazed to the heat dissipater and the surface of the heating element over which the thick film conductor extends, is substantially equal to the surface of the heat dissipater. The brazing leads to a permanent contact between the heating element and the heat dissipater, so that the possible tendency for warping as caused by the heating and cooling cycles will be withstood.

A liquid-cooled-type cooling device includes a casing having a top wall, a bottom wall, and a cooling-liquid passage, and a radiating member disposed in the cooling-liquid passage. The radiating member has a substrate and a plurality of pin-shaped fins. Longitudinally intermediate portions of the pin-shaped fins are brazed to the substrate. The substrate has a plurality of fin insertion holes, and the pin-shaped fins are inserted into the fin insertion holes of the substrate. A plurality of convex portions are integrally formed on the longitudinally intermediate portion of each pin-shaped fin. The substrate and the pin-shaped fins are provisionally fixed together by plastically deforming the convex portions such that they are crushed. In this state, the substrate and the pin-shaped fins are brazed together. The upper and lower end portions of the pin-shaped fins are brazed to the top wall and bottom wall, respectively, of the casing.

A scaffolding clip and a scaffolding clip applicator tool are provided for fastening a web, such as a retaining mesh, to a scaffolding pole. During use a preferred method includes holding the fastening clip with the applicator, locating the web between the pole and the fastening clip, piercing the web with opposed ends of the clip and disengaging the applicator from the clip. In order to subsequently remove the clip from the pole a loop of the clip is engaged by a catch of the applicator and levered from the pole with a heel of the applicator that extends from opposite the catch and acts as a fulcrum.

A system for producing a vehicle body assembly in a manufacturing facility is provided. The system includes a forming station configured to form a vehicle body member from a metal material; and an assembly station configured to assemble the vehicle body member with at least one additional vehicle body member to form the vehicle body assembly. The forming station and the assembly station are disposed, in the manufacturing facility, at a predetermined distance from each other, and wherein the predetermined distance is in the range of 0-50 feet.

A method for producing a connection, including the steps of: providing a connecting part and a retaining part; making a cut-out in the retaining part, wherein a plane is created by the cut-out; turning a deformation region of the retaining part surrounding the cut-out out of the plane such that the cut-out is enlarged and a seat is produced; arranging the connecting part in the cut-out; and forming the deformation region back in the direction of the plane such that the cut-out is reduced in size and the retaining part is connected at least force-fittingly to the connecting part.

A tool head includes a first frame having a first arm and a second arm extending from a base to a distal end. The tool head may also include a first blade in the frame between the first arm and the second arm. The first blade is movable from the base toward the distal end. The tool head further includes a second frame hingedly coupled to the first arm. The second frame may include a second blade. The second frame is configured to rotate between a closed-frame position and an open-frame position. The tool head further includes a trip lever hingedly coupled to the first arm and configured to rotate between an open-lever position and a closed-lever position. The trip lever is in the open-lever position when the second frame is in the closed-frame position and the trip lever is in the closed-lever position when the second frame is in the open-frame position.

A feed assembly for a foot-pedal operated riveter and a method of using the same is disclosed. The feed assembly includes a rivet stop that has a tip that separates a lowermost fastener from a second from lowermost fastener when the riveter is in a non-operational position. This rivet stop prevents fasteners from sliding down a raceway on the feed assembly. When the riveter is moved into an operational position, the rivet stop moves out of the way and permits the second from lowermost fastener to slide into position for subsequent installation. The rivet stop thus enables automatic reloading of the riveter during operation.

A cable tray support includes first and second rod openings each extending through one of first and second sides of a support body to allow first and second support rods to laterally enter the respective first and second openings. First and second lateral closure members are adjacent the respective first and second openings and are movable to closed positions to inhibit the respective first and second support rods, when received in the corresponding opening, from laterally exiting the corresponding opening.
