Compressible vertical connector
09724618 · 2017-08-08 · ·

The present invention relates to construction assemblies or modules. There are attachment members that are connected by pressing an elastic protrusion head through an aperture and threading the protrusion head from one side of the aperture to the other. As the area of the aperture is smaller than area of front projection plane of the protrusion head, threading the protrusion head into the aperture requires the deformation of the protrusion head. After traversing the aperture, the protrusion head returns to its non-deformated shape, and the protrusion neck is settled within the aperture.

Connection, connection system, and method for connecting at least two components

A connection between at least two components of a motor vehicle includes at least one connection unit which is arranged and/or formed on one of the components, and provides at least one connection surface of the connection. At least one characteristic of the connection unit is deliberately changeable, in such a manner that an adhesion capability of the connection surface is adjustable.

A metal corner connector contains at least two connection regions which are arranged on a lateral surface of the metal corner connector. At least one connection region is configured to be mechanically stably connected via welding to a metal pipe extending along a main extension plane of the metal corner connector. The connection region contains at least one protrusion with a groove, which is configured for receiving a welding material. The connection region has an outer surface which is adjacent to the protrusion and is configured as a contact surface for an end face of the metal pipe. A method produces a device having such a metal corner connector.

Adaptor for attaching a prime mover to an actuator
11209035 · 2021-12-28 ·

An adaptor is used to couple a prime mover to an actuator. The adaptor includes a first portion that attaches to the prime mover and a second portion that attaches to the actuator. The outer surface of the first portion is defined by at least one flat portion connected by at least one arcuate portion. The second portion has a bore configured to accept the first portion, with an inner surface shaped to complement the outer surface of the first portion. A bore through the first portion accepts a drive shaft of the prime mover therethrough where the drive shaft is configured to engage the actuator.

LUG NUT

The utility model discloses a wheel nut, including a nut body which the outside surface comprises of multiple identical arc surfaces. The arc surface is protruding outward, and the radius of the arc surface is larger than the circumscribed radius of the outside surface of the nut body. The utility model designs the existing square surface of the outer hexagon feature of the wheel nut as an arc surface, which the contact area between the wheel nut and the sleeve and the loading area of the wheel nut can be increased, and then the deformation and looseness of the wheel nut can be avoided effectively, and therefore the service life of the wheel nut can be improved.
