A multi-density skid assembly for an appliance or other object. The assembly includes an inner layer of at least one low density material and an outer layer of at least one high density material. At least one fastener extends into an inner opening defined in the inner layer and through an aperture defined by appliance. The fastener provides an anchoring force such that the fastener secures the skid assembly to the appliance yet allows for the skid assembly to be displaced from the appliance without the use of tools or necessarily laying the appliance on one side.

Device having a support for aerially suspending an optical fiber termination box to which an optical cable is routed. Features of the device are adapted to transfer cable load to the support thereby bypassing the optical fiber termination box, which can help to prevent damage to the optical fiber termination box and the optical fibers it supports.

A field-assembly dowel basket for concrete construction configured for in-the-field assembly from a small number of component parts, including dowels, dowel sleeves that loosely house the dowels, W shaped frame wires that support the dowel sleeves, straight shipping wires that connect dowel basket sections together, and T connectors that join the frame sections to the shipping wires. Various embodiments of the field-assembly dowel basket may use different types of dowel sleeves, such as open-channel sleeves, closed-channel sleeves, and sealed-channel sleeves in which tape or another suitable cover is used to seal open-channel sleeves. The dowel sleeves may house different types of dowels, such as rectangular plate dowels and round rod dowels.

In an example, a fastener for coupling a light-emitting device to a composite panel assembly is described. The fastener includes a fastener head including an anchor portion and a retainer portion. The fastener also includes a plug extending from the anchor portion of the fastener head. The plug includes an axial retention structure configured to axially retain the plug in a bore of a composite panel assembly. The retainer portion extends as a cantilever structure from the anchor portion. The retainer portion is configured to press a light-emitting device toward a light-transmission channel of the composite panel assembly when the plug is axially inserted in the bore of the composite panel assembly.

A construction system includes at least two building elements provided with one or more cylindrical holes and one or more connection pins having a first end, a second end and a longitudinal axis. The connection pins are configured to be detachably inserted into the holes and hereby connect two adjacent building elements. The connection pins are provided with a first notch extending along the longitudinal axis and a second notch extending along the longitudinal axis, wherein the first notch extends from the first end to a position between the first end and the second end, wherein the second notch extends from the second end to a position between the first end and the second end. The width of the connection pins is larger than the width of the cylindrical holes.

A fastening system comprising a second fastener fastened to a first fastener; the first fastener comprising a hollow housing having a side-wall and a top-wall; a first aperture formed in the side-wall and in the top-wall of the hollow housing, the first aperture configured for entry of the second fastener during fastening of the second fastener and first fastener; a second aperture formed in the side-wall of the hollow housing; a beam formed in the side-wall between the first aperture and the second aperture, the beam attached at opposing ends to the side-wall; the beam blocks the first aperture to inhibit separation of the second fastener from the first fastener through the first aperture; and the beam is configured to be deformed during fastening of the second fastener to the first fastener.
