In implementations of a pressure lock retention fastener, the fastener assembly includes an insert sized for insertion into a fastener hole in a first panel. The fastener assembly has a threaded collet sized to slide in the insert and has expandable flanges that extend below the insert. The expandable flanges are sized for insertion into an aligned hole in a second panel. The fastener assembly also includes a screw installable through the insert to engage the threaded collet. The screw exerts a force that pushes the expandable flanges outward as screw rotation drives the screw into the threaded collet, and ridge locks of the expandable flanges seat up against the second panel effective to fasten the panels together. In implementations, a plate is installable between the panels with slotted holes having anti-rotation tabs that prevent a fastener assembly from spinning in the panel holes.

The present invention provides an improved locking mechanism for securely connecting modular or detachable components. The locking mechanism includes a male and female portion associated with, respectively, a first and second modular component, the male portion having a slit defining a first and second finger, the locking mechanism having a spreading means provided by a pressure bolt mechanism including a pressure bolt, wherein the pressure bolt is configured to, when turned by up to substantially 1 revolution, move the first and second fingers from a closed position wherein the first and second fingers are substantially parallel to one another, to a spread position wherein the first and second fingers abut an interior surface of the female portion, thereby connecting the first and second modular component.

The present invention is an adjustable connector with hidden threads for securing and adjusting a glass panel to a structure. The connector has an internally threaded retainer mounted on a fastener which is secured by a fastener and receives an externally threaded telescope. A nut shape lock installed inside the telescope to lock the telescope. By turning the lock, it moves towards the fastener and locks the telescope by pushing the fastener. The lock is a security feature to hold the adjustable standoff in adjusted position and prevents unscrewing the telescope once the cap is uninstalled. The telescope and retainer are threaded internally which are not exposed.

A beam clamp for attachment to a flange of a structural building member and from which to support or brace a service component. The beam clamp has a clamp body, and a set screw. The clamp body includes a first jaw section with at least one mounting through hole, a second jaw section, a joining section that interconnects the first and second jaw sections, and a transverse opening that is to receive the flange. A contact surface on the second jaw section is formed with surface irregularities providing a roughness that enhances engagement of the contact surface with the flange. In use of the beam clamp, the contact surface is in contact with the flange of the structural member, the set screw is installed in the mounting through hole, and the flange is secured within transverse opening between the tip of the set screw and the contact surface.

A frame includes a plurality of profile sections and at least one first adapter assembly. Each profile section includes at least one section extension surface, and one of the at least one section extension surface is provided with at least one first groove therein. Each first adapter assembly includes a first position-limiting block provided with at least one first mounting hole therein. The first position-limiting block is configured to be fixed in a first groove during assembly, and to fix other components to the profile section through the at least one first mounting hole.

The assembly solves a frequent problem when aligning one machine to another machine. Typically, the machine to be aligned has very little clearance in the hold-down bolt holes, and running out of adjustment space while aligning is common. This assembly uses cams in enlarged holes in the machine feet. The cams not only allow the machine to be aligned with holes already drilled into a fixed bedplate, but after the machine is set on the bedplate, also allows the machine to be moved more than twice as much as is now permitted. This allows it to be easily aligned with another piece of equipment that is already fixed in place. The assembly also makes dowelling unnecessary, because the cams are locked into place with a set screw to prevent the machine from moving.

A joint for firmly interconnecting a first panel and a second panel of furniture and other furnishing items positioned perpendicular to each other is provided with at least one fixing element coupled to the first panel and includes a plurality of interconnection and blocking components for joining and firmly blocking the two panels together, wherein, in the joint, the plurality of components lie on the same plane, which is parallel and interspaced with respect to the first panel and perpendicular with respect to the second panel.

A mounting device or clamp is provided that can be secured to a roof joint without damaging the roof joint. Two roof panels can be joined at a roof joint that extends away from the roof. The clamp has a body with a slot to receive the roof joint. An insert of the clamp is rotatable relative to the body from a first position to a second position. The clamp body can be positioned over the roof joint, and the insert can rotate or pivot from the first position to the second position relative to the body to secure the clamp to the roof joint. In one embodiment, a body of the clamp has a first arm that is concave and the insert has a concave portion to engage the roof joint. Alternatively, in another embodiment, the insert can be connected to the clamp body such that either a first projection or a second projection of the insert faces a roof joint.

A fluid end having its fluid flow bores sealed without threading a retaining nut into the walls of each bore. The fluid ends may be assembled using a plurality of different kits that each comprise a fluid end body, a component, a retainer element, and a fastening system. The retainer element holds the component within each of the bores formed in the fluid end body and the fastening system secures the retainer element to the body. The fastening system comprises a plurality of externally threaded studs, washers and nuts in some embodiments. In other embodiments, the fastening system comprises a plurality of screws.

A locking device for securing a wear element in a support in an earth moving machine includes a central shaft with a first right hand threaded segment and a second left hand threaded segment. Locking elements are screwed onto the threaded segments. Both threaded segments are attached to one another and are suitable for transmitting rotational movement between both threaded segments. A coupling of the threaded segments can comprise a disc with two faces, each of them opposite one end of the threaded segments. Between each of the faces and the end of the threaded segment there is a tongue and groove extending to a first diameter and a second diameter, respectively, such that the disc and the threaded segments are suitable for moving with respect to one another.
