Screen arrangement
A screen arrangement (10) including a stringer (16), a securing arrangement (18), and a plurality of screen panels (20) adapted to couple to the stringer (16) by the securing arrangement (18). The plurality of screen panels (20) may each include a side notch (22) arranged to define a screen aperture (24) between adjacent ones of the plurality of screen panels (20) and the stringer (16) includes a stringer aperture (26) aligned with the screen aperture (24). The securing arrangement (18) may include an expandable part (28) adapted to extend from the screen aperture (24) into the stringer aperture (26) and a fastener (30) adapted pass between the screen aperture (24) and the stringer aperture (26) so as to expand the expandable part (28) within the stringer aperture (26). A related method is also disclosed.
Device for holding a bearing member relative to a fixed body
A device for holding a bearing member relative to a fixed body, including a first part having a formation for engagement with a corresponding formation on a fixed body to hold the first part relative to the fixed body, and a receiving formation for receiving and slidably supporting a generally elongate second part, wherein a first end of the second part is configured for engagement with a part of a bearing member to hold the bearing member relative to the fixed body, and wherein a second, opposite, end of the second part supports an abutment member which prevents the first and second parts separating from each other, wherein the device includes biasing means for biasing the first end of the second part away from the first part.
Multi-axis alignment tool
A multi-axis alignment tool including: a main body, a primary base, a puck, a first puck adjuster, a second puck adjuster, a puck retainer, a secondary base, a first pivot pin, a second pivot pin, a pivot block, a clamp head, an adjustment pin, a lock-down spacer, a first clamp finger, and a second clamp finger, wherein the multi-axis alignment tool is configured for to at least one of clamp, align, and position a work part in three axes.
Trace Routing Fastener
A fastener assembly is described for coupling a second component, via a strap, to an opening in a first component. The assembly includes a lock pin and a base structure. The lock pin has a shank with a head at one end and a lock tab at the opposite end. The base structure includes a grommet portion defining a grommet opening and a pair of resilient legs configured to engage the opening. The head comprises a fixed planar portion attached to the shank and at least one hinged wing portion. An installation indicator spans at least part of both the fixed and wing portions. The grommet opening receives at least part of the shank and includes a protrusion feature that secures the lock pin in a first assembled position. At least one leg includes a resilient flex tab configured to retain the base structure within the opening of the first component.
