An apparatus for covering and protecting an edible item that allows a flexible covering to cover and protect the edible item without damaging or altering a feature on the edible item. The edible item has a top surface with an outer edge. The apparatus provides a plurality of vertical supports, each having a first portion and a second portion. The second portion of each vertical support is inserted the top surface of the edible item adjacent to the outer edge. The first portion of each vertical support at least partially extends beyond the outer edge of the edible item, and the flexible covering can be supported by the plurality of vertical supports.

Diagonal reinforcement for floor formwork support structures, the support structure comprising height-adjustable props on which diagonal reinforcements are mounted, wherein each of the diagonal reinforcements comprises a projecting pivot close to the upper end thereof, or on the upper end itself, the free end of which pivot is deformed towards one side and can fit progressively into one of the holes in the prop on which the pivot is mounted by means of rotation, it being possible to detach the reinforcement simply by reproducing the insertion movement in reverse.

A joint structure includes a shaft member and a cylindrical member. The cylindrical member includes a plurality of first crimped portions crimped along a plurality of axial grooves provided in an axial direction of the shaft member, respectively, and a second crimped portion which fits the axial grooves and is crimped along a circumferential groove, the circumferential groove being provided on a circumferential surface of the shaft member by reducing a diameter of an axially intermediate portion of the cylindrical member in a radial direction. Each of the first crimped portions project from an inner circumferential surface of the cylindrical member as a projection. A position of a tip of the projection in an axis direction of the projection is set displaced from a position of a lowest point of the circumferential groove such that the tip is not located at the lowest point of the circumferential groove.

An exhaust hanger assembly for a vehicle includes a bracket, a clip, and a rod. The bracket includes a peripheral wall having a non-circular cross section. The bracket includes a first end configured to be fixed to an exhaust pipe of the vehicle and a second end including first and second receivers formed in peripheral wall. The clip is disposed around at least a portion of an outer surface of the bracket and fixed to the bracket. The clip includes opposing apertures. The rod, which is configured to be fixed to a body of the vehicle, extends through the opposing apertures of the clip and is fixed to the clip. The rod is disposed within the first and second receivers of the bracket.

The present disclosure proposes a part of a cycle frame, such as a bicycle frame for example, and also a part of a cycle fork. The part of the cycle frame or of the cycle fork comprises a core (10) and at least two shells (11, 12) that surround the core and are fixed to the core without being fixed directly to each other.

The present disclosure also relates to a method to assemble a cycle frame or a part of a cycle frame or a cycle fork or a part of a cycle fork.

A first annular groove is filled with a material of a solenoid case and a first joined portion is formed after a second annular groove is filled with the material of the solenoid case and a second joined portion is formed. This allows a load applied to a piston rod when the material of the solenoid case flows into the first annular groove to be partially received by the second joined portion, thereby contributing to reducing a reaction force received by the piston rod and thus preventing the deformation of an upper-end portion of the piston rod due to the reaction force received by the piston rod.

A coupling device and method for removably coupling frames of a modular panel system includes a first coupling body fixedly and rotatably connected to a first panel frame of a first panel and a second coupling body fixedly and rotatably connected to a second panel frame of a second panel. The first and second coupling bodies are removably coupled to one another in a coupled state to thereby couple the first panel and the second panel together and are decoupled from one another in a decoupled state to thereby decouple the first panel and the second panel from one another.

A method of manufacturing a joined member where joining portions of at least two members are integrally formed with each other by press working thus joining said at least two members, the method comprises an engaging step, an inserting step, and a press working step.

Disclosed are a length-determined standardized reinforcing bar integrated with a butt joint device, and a method of constructing a reinforcing bar structure by using the same, wherein after determining a material and a diameter of a reinforcing bar, a determined standardized length measurement, which is a length standard from one end to the other end, is determined and imparted to a reinforcing bar to be cut, and the reinforcing bar is cut to a determined standardized length in accordance with the imparted length measurement, and once the type of a butt joint device for butt-jointing the reinforcing bar cut to the determined standardized length is determined, the butt joint device is formed at, and integrated with, one end or both ends of the reinforcing bar cut to the standardized length by the determined standardized length.

A method for installing an adjustable camshaft may include inserting an adjustable camshaft in an installation device. The camshaft may include an outer shaft surrounding an inner shaft. The installation device may enable alignment of at least one cam rotatably mounted on the outer shaft. The method may include aligning the at least one cam by pushing an alignment pin through a radial passthrough opening in the at least one cam and through a drillhole in the inner shaft congruent therewith. The method may include non-rotatably connecting the at least one cam to the inner shaft by pushing a connecting pin into the passthrough opening and the drillhole in a direction opposite a direction the alignment pin was pushed. Non-rotatably connecting the at least one cam to the inner shaft may include detachably coupling the connecting pin and the alignment pin in a positive locking manner.
