A device for securing accessories such as bins, hooks, shelves, mirrors, trays, and baskets to a vertical support pole without tools and without a separate wedge or collar, including two fully separable pieces that interlock to surround the support pole and a lever that tightens to the pole without the use of a separate sleeve or wedge and without using tools.

A drive train connector assembly includes a first connecting structure and a second connecting structure. The first connecting structure has an attachment protrusion with first and second edges. The first edge extends in a first direction. The second edge extends in a second direction. Both directions are perpendicular to the rotational axis. The first and second directions define a first acute angle therebetween. The second connecting structure defines recessed area. The attachment protrusion fits into the recessed area. The recessed area defines third and fourth edges. The third edge extends in a third direction and the fourth edge extends in a fourth direction. The third direction and the fourth direction define a second acute angle. With the attachment protrusion installed within the recessed area the first and third edges are parallel to one another and the second and fourth edges are parallel to one another.

A mounting adapter for a mounting and fastening system includes: a radially inward portion including a throughbore having a throughbore axis; an inboard end including an adapter inboard surface extending transversely with respect to the axis, and an inboard counterbore in the adapter inboard surface in communication with the throughbore; an outboard end including an adapter outboard surface extending transversely with respect to the axis; and a radially outward portion having a tapered outward surface that tapers in an axially inboard and radially inward direction.

A connector (100) is disclosed for use in forming a joint between a first surface (400) and a second surface (410). The connector (100) comprises a housing (10). The connector also comprises a tendon (200). A portion of the tendon (200) can protrude from the housing (10) through a seal (50). The seal (50) is configured to sealably cover an open end (14) of the housing (10) such that the tendon (200) can move through the seal (50) and laterally sideways across the open end (14) together with at least a portion of the seal (50). Also disclosed is a connector (100) system for use in forming a joint, and a method of installing a connector (100) to form a joint, between a first surface (400) and a second surface (410). The connector (100) system and method comprises and makes use of the housing (10) and the tendon (200).

A connector includes a base, a connecting part and a coupling piece. One end of the connecting part is connected to the base. The coupling piece is arranged on the other end of the connecting part, and includes a sliding channel having an open end located on a side edge of the coupling piece and an opposite closed end. A maximum linear distance of an outer periphery of the connecting part is less than that of the coupling piece. Another connector includes a base plate, two parallel side plates arranged on the base plate, a front plate connected to the two side plates and having a tapered positioning slot, and a positioning portion arranged on the base plate and adapted for reciprocal movement in a direction perpendicular to the base plate. The base plate, the two side plates and the front plate form an accommodating groove.

Various embodiments of an accessory mounting device are disclosed. The device can be adapted to engage an elongated rail. The device can include a body having top, bottom, and first and second side surfaces. Each of the side surfaces can include a rail engagement portion adjacent the bottom surface of the body and an accessory engagement portion adjacent the top surface. The device can also include a locking mechanism including a lever connected to the body at a pivot, and a tab extending from the lever in a direction away from the bottom surface. In one or more embodiments, the locking mechanism can include first and second levers each connected to the body at a pivot. The lever can rotate about a pivot axis in a direction toward the top surface of the body when the locking mechanism is manipulated from a locked position to an unlocked position.

An arrangement for positioning a transformer in a rail vehicle, where the rail vehicle has a transformer support which fastens the transformer at a predetermined position in the rail vehicle. The transformer support is arranged on an underframe of the rail vehicle. The transformer is connected to the transformer support via a sliding guide, wherein a positional change of the transformer relative to the underframe of the rail vehicle can be set by way of the sliding guide. The sliding guide is a hydrostatic sliding guide.

A mechanical connection interface for connecting and releasing optical components is disclosed. The mechanical connection interface includes a slide latch arrangement for securing an optical component such as a splice holder to a structure such as a tray.

A falsification prevention structure is to prevent falsification of the performance of a turbocharger. A bearing housing of the turbocharger has a flow rate adjustment screw which is operated to adjust a turbine flow rate of the turbocharger. The falsification prevention structure includes a cover member which is fastened to a flange portion of the bearing housing by a fixing bolt and which covers the flow rate adjustment screw, and a cap which is mounted in an irremovable manner with respect to the cover member and which blocks a bolt hole.

Key threaded systems that include key threads having a female lock and male key on a two-dimensional plane and in which the female lock envelops the male key when fully engaged and has a shape that creates lateral resistance to separation from the male key when the female lock fully engages the male key.
