Quick disconnect mount
A quick disconnect mount includes a mounting stud securable to a structure, and a connector securable on the mounting stud. The mounting stud includes at least one circumferential ridge and at least one circumferential trough, and the connector includes a central channel sized to fit over the mounting stud and a locking bar engageable with the circumferential trough.
ANIMAL STRUCTURE
An improved animal structure is disclosed. The structure includes various features which can improve transportation, ease of assembly, structural integrity, and/or aesthetic quality. The animal structure includes a post having multiple post sections, namely a first post section and a second post section. The first and section post sections are coupled to together by a post coupler wherein the post coupler is disposed completely within a hollow interior of the post when the first post section is flush with the second post section.

Automatically Adjustable Connection Structure
An automatically adjustable connection structure contains: a fixing member, a movable member, a limitation plate, and a limiting element. The fixing member includes a vertical sheet and a horizontal sheet having two guiding protrusions and an elongated orifice. The movable member is fixed on the horizontal sheet and includes a top piece and two peripheral pieces, the top piece has a hole corresponding to the elongated orifice, and each of the two peripheral pieces has each of two cutouts, wherein among the two cutouts and the horizontal sheet is defined a clamping space. The limitation plate inserts through the hole and the elongated orifice, wherein the movable member engages with and removes from the fixing member, such that the movable member adjustably slides relative to the fixing member via the elongated orifice of the horizontal sheet.
Bracket mount for securing solar panel rail guides on a roof
In various representative aspects, an assembly for securing a solar panel rail and rail-less support structures to a shingle roof. More specifically, the apparatus includes a connection bracket and flashing device for use in installing solar panel rail support structures. The connection bracket is secured to the flashing device by rotating its base around a threaded connection until it locks in place so that a solar panel rail support guide can be connected to a generally U-shaped connection on the top of the bracket. The apparatus also offers an improved means to cover the penetration point on the flashing to protect it and prevent water from leaking into the roof as well as an improved way to install the apparatus over existing products. An alternate embodiment of the apparatus is offered to support a rail-less pivot mount as well.

Conduit Mount Assembly
An assembly for fastening a conduit to a flashing structure that is typically secured to a shingled roof. The apparatus includes an adjustable clamp that can be secured to a cap on the flashing. A conduit is laid on top of the cap and the adjustable clamp is positioned on top of the conduit and is snapped in place along the perimeter of the cap. An adjustable bolt is threaded through the top of the clamp with a curved saddle that resides beneath the clamp and conforms to the shape of the conduit's outer surface. The bolt can then be adjusted to tighten the conduit to the cap. An exemplary use of the clamp involves securing conduit for running electrical wiring throughout a solar panel array.
Electrical component holder
A holder is provided for holding an electrical component on a circuit board having a lead hole. The holder includes a body having a base for holding the electrical component and a connection member for mounting the body to the circuit board. The base includes a lead opening that is configured to hold a solder lead of the electrical component therein. The connection member extends from the base and is configured to mechanically connect to the circuit board such that the base holds an end of the solder lead of the electrical component within the lead hole of the circuit board.
Fastening arrangement
A motor vehicle may have a cylindrical component having two grooves aligned orthogonally to a cylinder axis, recessed into local areas of a lateral surface, and running parallel to each other, and a blind hole in an end of the cylindrical component. A fastening component for the cylindrical component may include a holding device having a U-shaped socket and a head portion having a through opening. The holding device may be matched to the cylindrical component in such a way that the cylindrical component is positively insertable via the two grooves into the U-shaped socket until the blind hole in the end is in alignment with the through opening in the head portion of the holding device. The fastening arrangement may also have a fastening element that is insertable and screwable through the through opening in the head portion into the blind hole in the cylindrical component.
