A screw installation aid holds and aligns a screw in an inclined screw axis relative to the component to be screwed. At least one screw guide receives the screw in the inclined screw axis, and a screwing tool advances through an opening to the screw head coaxially to the screw axis, to install the screw in the component in its inclined position. The screw installation aid encompasses a telescopic cross-member including at least two support segments adjustable coaxially to one another, the undersides of which facing the component form a level and, before adaptation to the component, continuous support surface, each of the undersides bearing one of the clamping blocks. The clamping blocks can be positioned from a closing to an opening position against the resistance of a spring device between both support segments and a screw guide is enclosed in at least one of the support segments.

A conductor positioning fixture includes a base and a retainer member. The base includes a positioning platform and a wedge projecting upward from a top surface of the positioning platform. The base receives a cable on the top surface of the positioning platform such that exposed segments of first and second conductors of the cable extend along opposite sides of the wedge. The retainer member is mounted to the base and movable relative to the base along a longitudinal axis between a retracted position, at which the retainer member is spaced apart from the wedge, and an extended position, at which the retainer member overlaps the wedge. As the retainer member moves from the retracted position towards the extended position, the retainer member engages and forces the exposed segments of the first and second conductors into designated presentation positions.

A twin clamp, comprising two receptacles (61, 62), each of which has two movable clamping jaws (611, 612, 621, 622) and by means of each of which an elongate profile segment (71, 72) having a circular cross-section can be clamped in the contact section, each elongate profile segment having a centre axis (D71, D72) and an outside diameter, wherein two clamping jaws (611, 612, 621, 622) of different receptacles (61, 62) are coupled to one another via a respective differential gearing (41, 42) and two clamping jaws (611, 612, 621, 622) of the same receptacle (61, 62) are coupled to one another via a synchronous gearing (51, 52) and the position of the centre axes (D71, D72) of the clamped elongate profile segments (71, 72) is independent of the size of the outside diameters of the elongate profile segments (71, 72).

The invention relates to a device for tensioning a canvas on a frame, which is for assembling two bars the ends of which comprise a groove. The device comprises: an optional sheath intended to be immobilized in a groove; a spacer comprising a central portion from which extend two lateral portions each having a bearing face coming to abut against the bottom of the sheath; a tensioner comprising a central portion from which extend securing means for securing the tensioner to the bars, via the sheath; a connecting member for connecting the spacer to the tensioner, and means for bringing the spacer closer to the tensioner, wherein the spacer being brought closer to the tensioner will cause each bar to translate along its longitudinal axis so as to space the bars apart from each other while keeping them perpendicular to each other.

The invention is directed to a powered cable splitter. The splitter is comprised of a motor, a blade, a channel, a clamp to secure the tubing within the channel, and a hand grip for activating the motor. To use the splitter, a user places the cable inside of the channel, secures it with the clamp, and then squeezes the hand grip to activate the motor. The motor causes the blade to spin and cut to a specific depth. Rollers within the channel allow the cable to be moved into position before the tubing is cut, creating a cut of limited depth along a preferred length, and thus splitting the cable without damaging the wires within.

A solar panel clamp and method of fabrication for use in affixing solar panels in the channels of elongated purlins includes a strip of sheet metal bent into an elongated U-shaped channel with a longitudinal mid-portion designated a clamp end. The channel defines a base or bight of the U-shape and channel sides extending substantially perpendicular to the base. Portions are removed from both channel sides adjacent the clamp end. The elongated channel is bent into a U-shape with the clamp end defining a bight of the U-shape and including substantially parallel, spaced apart opposed legs extending from the clamp end with the removed portions allowing limited movement of the spaced apart legs toward and away from each other. A position fixing device is associated with the clamp and designed to move the spaced apart legs toward each other in a clamping orientation.

An end clamp (01) for fixing a framed PV module (02) on a support profile (03), includes a console element (05) fixed to the support profile (03), and including a clamp strap (04) for holding down the frame (08) of the PV module (02), the clamp strap (04) having at least one clamping surface (07) in contact with the frame (08) of the PV module (02) in a clamping manner. The clamp strap (04) has a supporting surface (17) which contacts a side of a contact surface (20) of the console element (05) while supporting the clamp strap (04). A turnbuckle (06) engages between the clamp strap (04) and the console element (05) for tightening the clamp strap (04) against the console element (05) to hold down the frame (08) of the PV module (02). An least one fixing element (18) is provided at the supporting surface (17) of the clamp strap (04). The fixing element (18) is fixed to a counter fixing element (21) having a complementary shape in a positive and/or frictional manner in the contact surface (20) of the console element (05). An approximation of the supporting surface (17) of the clamp strap (04) towards the support profile (03) is excluded by positive mechanical engagement and/or frictional connection between the fixing element (18) and the counter fixing element (21).

A door knob handling apparatus for installing a door knob to a door, comprising: a clamping section configured to attach the apparatus to the door, wherein the clamping section includes a handle side and a gripping side; and, a holding section, including a yoke, configured to hold the door knob while the door knob is installed and attached to the clamping section.
