Systems and methods for coupling a tag to an item. The methods comprise: dispensing the tag from a tag feeder of a tag applicator; performing first operations by the tag applicator to mechanically move the tag into a nest of the tag applicator; determining if a given criteria is met based on feedback information received from at least one of a user of the tag applicator and a sensor provided with the tag applicator; and performing second operations by the tag applicator to couple the tag to the item, when a determination is made that the given criteria is met.

An industrial or residential modular locking pin which captures and retains items with optional adjustable pressure prior to tightening. An elongate body carries a plurality of locking balls that are selectively urged radially outwardly to extend past an outer surface of the pin to retain a mounting aperture of a workpiece. Manual and automatically actuated configurations are disclosed.

A toggle fixing for fixing to a panel which is accessible only from one side. The toggle fixing has a crosspiece and a strip which is flexible and, as a result, pivotally connected to the crosspiece and on which a sleeve is displaceable in the direction of the crosspiece. The sleeve is provided with a screw hole, so that a screw cannot be pushed through but rather needs to be screwed through the sleeve in order that it can be screwed into the crosspiece. The sleeve relieves the crosspiece of an axial force of the screw.

A toggle fixing for fixing an article to a thin-walled component, having a crosspiece for engaging behind the component, which crosspiece has an opening for receiving a screw. Connected to the crosspiece there is an elongated strip having a displaceable sleeve which has a screw hole for passage of the screw. The sleeve has an engagement element for threaded engagement of a screw in order that the latter does not unintentionally tilt the crosspiece during mounting. In order to provide quick insertion of a screw, the engagement element has a manipulating element such that the engagement element is movable radially outwards relative to the longitudinal axis, and the engagement element is manipulatable from a rear side of the sleeve emote from the crosspiece.

A locking pin associated with one of a fixed wing and a wing tip device, and a bush associated with the other of the fixed wing and wing tip device, the bush configured to receive the locking pin. The bush is located within a bush housing arranged to allow relative movement of the bush in the direction of a longitudinal axis of the locking pin when the locking pin is received within the bush.

A wiper connector arranged to a bolt-type wiper arm includes a sleeve tube, a fastening member and a tube body. The sleeve tube has a tube body, a first and a second flange. The first flange defines a receiving compartment therein. The fastening member has a circular ring body and a plurality of abutting portions, and is fixed within the receiving compartment of the sleeve tube. The bolt is inserted into the fastening member. The circumferential portion of the bolt is tightly engaged by the plurality of abutting portions. The base has a clutching trough, a first and a second restricting trough. The first and the second flanges of the sleeve tube are received respectively in the first and the second restricting troughs, and the tube body is secured in the clutching trough. The instant disclosure further provides a bolt-stabilizing sleeve adaptor.

A rapid mount wall anchoring/power delivery system to both mount electrical devices and deliver power to the devices through a series of mateable connectors. The wall anchoring system includes a rigid frame with a lip having an opening therein, a rearward extending sidewall surrounding the opening, rearwardly extending guide members extending rearward from the sidewalls, a rigid mounting plate within the opening, and means to secure the wall anchoring system to a wall. The rigid mounting plate is snap fit into the opening of the rigid frame and the mounting plate includes a second opening for the mateable connection of a power delivery connector assembly. The connector assembly includes at one end a generally L shaped connector that is preferably overmolded, the connector includes gripping means to facilitate mounting of the connector to the mounting plate second opening. The connector includes an end lip with a width wide enough to ensure a tight fit that is still capable of slidable engagement into the mounting plate second opening.

An assembly nest for transporting a tubular sub assembly of a drug delivery device on an automated production line, in which the tubular sub assembly includes a tubular body and a cap that is wider than the tubular body. The assembly nest includes a base against which a sub assembly of a drug delivery device is mountable to orientate said sub assembly in a predetermined position; and locking mechanism having a resilient member to urge the locking mechanism into one of: an unlocked position, in which a sub assembly of a drug delivery device can be mounted to the base; or a locked position, in which the locking mechanism engages a mounted sub assembly to retain it in its predetermined position on the base.
