A unit bearing includes a bearing body configured to be received by a rigid bearing housing provided with an opening on at least one side, a carrier element and at least one support member engaging the rigid bearing housing through the opening. The bearing body includes elastomer abutments. The elastomer abutments are disposed between the rigid bearing housing and the support member. The carrier element is disposed between the support member and the elastomer abutments. The unit bearing is configured such that relative movements of the bearing body with respect to the bearing housing caused by loading of the support member along three mutually orthogonal directions are limited by the elastomer abutments.

Embodiments for a speaker basket of a speaker assembly are provided. A speaker basket may include a central opening through which a speaker sub-assembly may be mounted and a conductive material that includes: (i) a central portion molded within the speaker basket, (ii) an input portion configured to be coupled to an output of an audio source, and (iii) an output portion configured to be coupled to an input of the speaker sub-assembly.

A bicycle assembly can include a main frame having a bottom bracket area to receive a bottom bracket. The bottom bracket area can be made of carbon fiber with one or more embedded seat blanks to serve as bearing surfaces within the bottom bracket area. The disks may be machined to a high tolerance to receive a bottom bracket.

The invention relates to a method for manufacturing parts of acetate eyeglass frames from an acetate plate. The plate is designed with length and height dimensions defining a surface area that encompasses the perimeter boundary of the body of the frame part to be manufactured, and with a thickness the value of which is at least equal to the maximum transverse dimensions of the three-dimensional shape of the body of the frame part itself and extends evenly over the entire surface defined by the length and the height of the plate. The method also comprises the step of forming a cut within the surface dimensions of the plate along the perimeter boundary of the body of the eyeglass part to be manufactured, excepting a pair of portions of said boundary, thereby leaving said portions connected to the plate, and the step of forming the three-dimensional shape of the frame part body by removing material from the thickness of the plate. The same method also comprises the step of forming the lens seats, the grooves for receiving lenses within their seats, a nose bridge, bridge arms, and the endpieces for connection to the temples. The invention further relates to an apparatus for carrying out the process and an eyeglass frame so manufactured.

A glazing bead engages a fenestration article and a frame. The glazing bead includes a reinforcement member, at least a portion of which extends along a cross-sectional axis in a substantially linear configuration between a first end and a second end. The glazing bead includes a body at least partially enveloping the reinforcement member and coupled with the reinforcement member. The glazing bead includes a protrusion extending from the body adjacent the first end and a leg having a proximal end adjacent the second end, with the leg extending from the body to a distal end, with the proximal and distal ends forming an angle less than ninety degrees from the cross-sectional axis. A method of manufacturing the glazing member includes steps of providing the reinforcement member and depositing a polymer to form the body, the protrusion, and the leg coupled with the reinforcement member.
