A bracket assembly includes a cylindrical member configured to hold a supporting bar at a first opening of the cylindrical member, a cylindrical core housed in the cylindrical member from the second opening of the cylindrical member, an annular cap coupled with the cylindrical core at the second opening of the cylindrical member, and a torque cartridge housed within a torque cartridge housing and transversely press fitted into the cylindrical member and the cylindrical core. The torque cartridge has a first portion with a first end that is coupled to the cylindrical core and a second portion with a first end that is rotatably coupled at a second end of the first portion to provide an infinite smooth pivoting movement between the first and second portions of the torque cartridge.

An assembly (10) of a lens (16, 18) and a component (24, 26). The lens (12, 14) defines a mounting aperture (32) and the component (24, 26) defines amounting protrusion (36) inserted in the mounting aperture (32). The lens (16,18) and mounting protrusion (36) together define a threaded bore (34) receiving a threaded fastener (30) therein into. Part of the circumference of the threaded bore (34) is defined by the lens (16, 18) and part of the circumference of the threaded bore (34) is defined by the mounting protrusion (36).

In various representative aspects, the present invention relates generally to a system and apparatuses for sealing a structural attachment to a flat or shingle roof. More specifically, the invention relates to providing the system for sealing structural attachments for solar panel mounts for rail guides. The invention utilizes an adhesive sealant to create a permanent watertight seal at any surface penetration. The system may be used for any structural attachment, fastener, mount, or other penetration that requires sealing. Typical building applications include roof penetrations and wall penetrations for cases such as roof vents, structural attachment, conduit or pipe penetrations, or electrical mounts to name a few.

A cable tie mount for supporting an object, the cable tie mount includes: a body including a mounting face formed on a first side of the body, a threaded bore formed in a second opposing side of the body, and a first cable tie passage formed on the body and configured to receive a cable tie therethrough; and a support portion including a threaded portion extending therefrom and configured to threadably engage the threaded bore formed in the second opposing side of the body. The body is configured to mount to the object with one or more cable ties, and wherein the body is configured to be threadably secured to the support portion for supporting the object mounted on the body at a desired location.

The invention relates to an offset joint for an oar to provide an offset angled and/or articulable blade, where the offset joint is an adjustable locking joint mounted on the outboard shaft end of the oar shaft, having a variable offset angle from 1-35 degrees to a cylindrical axis of the elongated shaft.

A connection assembly includes a housing, an adaptor and a conducting element. The housing has a chamber and an opening communicating with the chamber. The adaptor has a first through hole. The adaptor is at least partially connected outside the housing. The opening communicates with the first through hole. The conducting element penetrates through the first through hole and the opening. The conducting element is detachably connected with the adaptor.

A method of manufacturing a composite (e.g. fibre-reinforced polymer) connector for a fluid transfer conduit includes: manufacturing a continuous fibre pre-form net that is shaped to comprise a hub-forming portion 156 and a flange-forming portion, the continuous fibre pre-form net comprising continuous fibre reinforcement and a common support layer to which the continuous fibre reinforcement is secured by being stitched thereto; placing the continuous fibre pre-form net into a mould, the mould being shaped such that the hub-forming portion forms a tubular hub portion which extends along a central axis and the flange-forming portion forms a flange portion which extends from the hub portion at an angle to the central axis; and introducing polymer into the mould so as to form a composite connector comprising the flange portion and the hub portion.

The present invention relates to a connecting element for non-detachably connecting at least two components by means of friction welding when the connecting element is rotated about a longitudinal axis of the connecting element. The connecting element includes a stem formed along the longitudinal axis with a stem face at a free end of the stem for penetrating at least one component, and a head connected to the stem for transmitting a torque about the longitudinal axis from a turning tool to the stem. The stem face has a stem end face which has a convex envelope with a blunt shape.

The present invention is an anchor for an artificial structure for attracting fish within a body of water. The structure is comprised of a base and has a central attachment post, a central column configured to secure to the attachment post, and a protective plate.
