An attachment member is provided herein a base portion configured to be positioned between a first panel and a second panel. A first side portion and a second side portion are respectively positioned on opposing sides of the base portion, the first side portion defining first and second arms and the second side portion defining third and fourth arms, wherein each of the first arm, the second arm, the third arm, and the fourth arm define a non-linear boundary

A connection arrangement (10) comprising at least two bodies (11a, 11b), in particular at least two bodies of components of a mechanical automation group of movements, to be connected to each other and a constraining group (12) of these two bodies (11a, 11b) removably to each other, wherein each of the two bodies comprises a mutual rest surface (13a, 13b) for resting on each other and a coupling profile (14a, 15a, 14b, 15b) with the constraining group (12) defined in correspondence of at least two opposite perimetric portions of the respective mutual rest surface (13a, 13b), and wherein the constraining group (12) comprises at least one pair of tightening clamps (17, 18) which are engageable with the coupling profiles (14a, 15a, 14b, 15b) and which are removably connectable together by at least one connecting member (19).

A floor panel is arranged for forming a floor covering, and substantially consists of synthetic material and has a decorative upper side. The floor panel, on at least one pair of opposite edges, comprises coupling parts which allow coupling two of such floor panels to each other. The coupling parts effect a locking in a first direction perpendicular to the plane of the floor panels as well as in a second direction perpendicular to the respective edge and in the plane of the floor panels. The at least one of the coupling parts comprises a separate locking element, which, in coupled condition, provides for at least a locking in the first direction.

A stair case (10) having one or more stringers (12), treads (14), and risers (16), with the treads and/or risers being supported on the stringers. The stair case has first connecting elements, and each tread has at least one of the first connecting elements (18) provided at an under surface that tread. The stair case also has second connecting elements (20) that are each provided to a respective one of the risers. The first and second connecting elements are interconnected to secure each tread to one of the risers, and at least one of the first and second connecting elements is integrally formed in the respective treads and risers.

A device includes a first unit and a second unit. The first unit comprises a first C-shaped portion, a first bridge portion, and a first U-shaped portion. The first U-shaped portion comprises a first projection extending therefrom. The second unit comprises a second C-shaped portion, a second bridge portion, and a second U-shaped portion. The second U-shaped portion comprises a second projection extending therefrom. The first projection interlocks with the second projection when the first C-shaped portion and the second C-shaped portion are fastened to a plate.

The cable tray comprises an anchoring element (3) arranged on the front end thereof, for connecting the rear end of the following tray section, said anchoring element (3) comprising a bar with a fold (4), the extensions (5) of which are fitted through the transverse bars of the walls and/or base and project past the last transverse bar (7) leading into bends (8, 9) and then two branches (11) which end in the fold (4), said branches (11) having different inclinations in relation to each other and in relation to the vertical plane so that the connection of the tray sections forms a tray that resists sudden oscillations or movements that may be generated during the assembly thereof or once installed.

A press-fit connection between a high-strength component and a press-fit element is characterized by a non-circular previously made hole into which the press-fit element having a collar is inserted. Here, the collar is merely upset and pressed against a hole rim without embracing an underside of the component. Preferably, the hole rim is widened in a longitudinal direction such that a form-locking connection acting in opposition to the longitudinal direction is formed. The non-circular hole geometry is produced with the aid of a punch of circular cross sectional geometry, in that a cutter of the punch has leading and recessed cutting regions, with the result that disrupted partial regions are formed.

Embodiments include portable support systems configured to support structures, and corresponding methods. The portable support systems include two individual segments, pieces and/or panels that couple or combine and fit together to form the support systems. The support systems of embodiments are configured for the spanning and/or support of structures including pipes, hoses, and/or cables over structures, voids, and/or obstacles, thereby preventing dislodging and insufficient support of pipes, hoses, and/or cables from the support systems. The support systems of embodiments are configured to prevent improperly supported walls from collapse as a result of improper support of objects spanning the wall.

Some embodiments of the present disclosure relate to an apparatus including an additively manufactured node having a socket. The apparatus includes a panel interconnected with node. The panel includes opposing surface layers and a core between at least a portion of the surface layers. The socket engages an end portion of the panel and shapes the surface layers on the end portion of the panel.
