A press cover anti-pinch device and an apparatus having a press cover is disclosed. The press cover anti-pinch device comprises: a connector arranged at a lower side of a cover body of the press cover and fixed to the press cover; and a support hinged to the connector and rotatably arranged in a supporting position or in a collapsed position, wherein when the support is arranged in the supporting position, the support swings down and supports the press cover on a supporting surface, and when the support is arranged in the collapsed position, the support is collapsed and the press cover is lowered. During use, when the press cover is in an opened state, the support swings down and supports the press cover on the supporting surface, so that the support provides a supporting force to the press cover.

A method for manufacturing an electrostatic chuck with multiple chucking electrodes made of ceramic pieces using metallic aluminum as the joining. The aluminum may be placed between two pieces and the assembly may be heated in the range of 770 C to 1200 C. The joining atmosphere may be non-oxygenated. After joining the exclusions in the electrode pattern may be machined by also machining through one of the plate layers. The machined exclusion slots may then be filled with epoxy or other material. An electrostatic chuck or other structure manufactured according to such methods.

A clamp device for mounting equipment to a support structure including a base and a slider. The base includes a first trough formed in the front side of the base and a second trough formed in the back side of the base and a first coupling element located on the first lateral side and a second coupling element located on the second lateral side of the base. Each of the first and second coupling elements extend from near the top end of the base towards the bottom end of the base at an angle relative to the first trough. The slider includes a channel on a back side of the slider and corresponding coupling elements within the channel configured to slidingly engage the first and second coupling elements upon association of the slider with the base.

A stretchable rod structure and a method of mounting the same on an object are introduced. The stretchable rod structure has a fitting member and a rod member. The fitting member has a first fitting portion or first abutting portion. The first fitting portion or first abutting portion is adapted to fit to or abut against a first object. The rod member is movably fitted to the fitting member. The rod member has a second fitting portion or second abutting portion. The second fitting portion or second abutting portion is adapted to fit to or abut against a second object. Therefore, the stretchable rod structure can be fitted to the first object and the second object, thereby allowing two objects to be fitted together, moved or separated.

A bearing clip for joining a truss to a bearing material is disclosed. The bearing clip includes a base portion, a vertical portion, and at least one wing. The base portion includes a back end, sides adjacent to the back end and a bottom surface. The vertical portion extends from the back end of the base portion in a first direction away from the bottom surface. The at least one wing extends from a side of the base portion at an obtuse angle and at least partially in the first direction.

A mounting device including a base having an open bottom, a longitudinal axis, and a linear guide on the base. The linear guide guides support hardware in linear movement along the longitudinal axis. An internal cavity is under the base for containing a sealant against and in cooperation with a roof when the mounting device is secured to the roof. An opening is though the base is for receiving a fastener when the mounting device is secured to the roof. The opening is in communication with the internal cavity. The linear guide extends beyond the internal cavity.

A combined anchor and fastener that includes an anchor baseplate having at least one throughbore extending between a top surface and a bottom surface of the anchor baseplate. An elongated post is coupled to the anchor baseplate with an at least partially threaded, internal cylindrical bore for receipt of a mechanical fastener which extends between a first end and a second end of the post whereupon the post internal bore is in alignment and registry with the throughbore of the baseplate. The post includes a second end portion depending from the bottom surface of the anchor baseplate such that the bottom surface of the anchor baseplate is configured to abut and lie generally flush against a portion of a concrete structure apart from a portion which is covered by the post second end portion. The disclosure includes further embodiments as well as a method of anchoring and fastening an object to a concrete structure.

A mounting assembly (101, 201, 301, 401) for mounting an accessory (102, 202, 302, 402) is provided. The mounting assembly (101, 201, 301, 401) includes a mounting bracket (103, 203, 303, 403) with an aperture arranged to receive a fastener for fastening the mounting bracket (103, 203, 303, 403) to a surface. A supporting structure is provided between the mounting bracket (103, 203, 303, 403) and the accessory (102, 202, 302, 402) with an elongate hollow member (107, 207, 307, 407) substantially surrounding the supporting structure. The elongate hollow member (107, 207, 307, 407) is releasably secured to the mounting bracket (103, 203, 303, 403) with the mounting bracket (103, 203, 303, 403) and the elongate hollow member (107, 207, 307, 407) having complementary male-and-female mating formations which are arranged to inhibit rotation of the elongate hollow member (107, 207, 307, 407) relative to the mounting bracket (103, 203, 303, 403).
