A pin assembly is provided with an axial centerline. This pin assembly includes an outer pin, an inner pin, a first collar and a second collar. The outer pin extends axially along the axial centerline between an outer pin first end and an outer pin second end. The inner pin extends axially along the axial centerline within a bore of the outer pin. The first collar circumscribes the outer pin. The first collar is connected to the outer pin and the inner pin at the outer pin first end. The second collar circumscribes the outer pin. The second collar is connected to the outer pin and the inner pin at the outer pin second end.

A stand for suitable objects. The stand is configured to allow a object to be mounted and unmounted allowing stability to hold the object in an up right position. The said may be made of a lightweight material such as steel, stainless steel, metal or aluminum which may be inexpensive to manufacture.

The present invention generally relates to training devices used in the stick sports, particularly hockey, floorball and rural hockey, to improve users or corresponding stick sport players stick-handling abilities. A training device comprises at least three cross-members (10) that are connected to each other by means of support columns (20) and said connection is provided by means of a pin (30).

In a method for producing a connecting element, in particular a bolt, a zinc anti-friction coating is applied to a blank made of a metallic base material. Subsequently, the coated blank is deformed in a deformation process to a desired final geometry of the bolt. The deformation process may, in particular, be a thread rolling process. The anti-friction coating is applied in particular by way of a zinc diffusion method. The bolt is in particular an engine bolt, specifically a connecting rod bolt. A bolt of this type has a durability as conventional bolts, but at the same time can be mounted repeatedly by virtue of the formation of the special anti-friction coating without the coefficients of friction increasing above permissible limits.

A locking assembly for a ramp of a lift gate, the locking assembly including: an elongated adjustable locking arm pivotably disposed on a pivot point relative to the ramp, the locking arm including an adjustment mechanism for adjusting a length of the locking arm disposed on a proximal end for engaging a cam portion, where the length of the locking arm can be increased or decreased by adjusting the adjustment mechanism; and a resilient member for spring loading the locking arm, where a biasing tension in the resilient member urges the proximal end of the locking arm to pivotably engage with the cam portion to maintain the ramp in a selected position; and at least one fastener for coupling the locking assembly to a first surface of the ramp.

A connection rod coupling assembly includes a settable shape mounting second component having a lateral, primary axis and a bearing assembly including a bearing assembly body. The bearing assembly body includes a substantially cylindrical outer surface and a center axis. The bearing assembly body is coupled to the settable shape mounting second component in a non-aligned configuration. That is, the bearing assembly body center axis is offset from the settable shape mounting second component primary axis. Thus, the position of the bearing assembly body center axis is adjustable by repositioning the settable shape mounting second component relative to a settable shape mounting first component on a swing lever. The adjustment of the bearing assembly body, in turn, adjusts the range of the ram assembly and the ram assembly body.
