The invention relates to a force generator for generating a linear pressure force, including a housing, an output wedge displaceably arranged in the housing, and a drive wedge for transmitting an externally exerted pressing force into a linear movement of the output wedge. The output wedge is connected to a first pressure element. The housing is connected to a second pressure element. A force applied to the drive wedge causes displacement of the first pressure element relative to the second pressure element. The force generator solves the technical problem of providing a high pressure force and using the known press jaws for this purpose.

A fastener and method for mounting a connector to a panel, the fastener having an outer sleeve housing having a mount bushing portion and a locking portion with a collapsible end, and an inner pin member received in the outer sleeve housing and axially moveable therein between locked and unlocked positions. The inner pin member has a body with a head end that cooperates with the mount bushing portion of the outer sleeve housing and a locking end that cooperates with the locking portion of the outer sleeve portion. When the inner pin member is in the unlocked position, the collapsible end of the locking portion of the outer sleeve housing is allowed to collapse. When the inner pin member is in the locked position, the locking end of the inner pin member prevents collapse of the collapsible end of the locking portion of the outer sleeve housing.

A locking bolt or hinge bolt with a guide sleeve that can be secured to a machine part such as a sheet metal wall or door leaf, a locking pin being guided therein so as to be axially displaceable against spring force, and with a handle which is axially guided by the outer surface of the guide sleeve, wherein the guide sleeve has a head constituting an outer shoulder by which the guide sleeve is fastened to the machine part.

A folding lock mechanism includes a fixing seat, a turning element, a first positioning component, a second positioning component, and a connection component. The fixing seat is connected to a front end of the footrest and provided with a first positioning part at one end thereof. The turning element has a second positioning part and a front end of which is coupled to the operation lever, and the turning element is pivotally connected with the fixing seat. The first positioning component is connected with the turning element in a way capable of relatively reciprocating rotation, and is capable of being engaged with the first positioning part. The second positioning component is connected with the fixing seat in a way capable of relative reciprocating rotation, wherein the second positioning component is provided with an engaging part at one end thereof for being engaged with the second positioning part. The connection component is connected between the first positioning component and the second positioning component. When the second positioning component is turned to disengage the engaging part from the second positioning part, the second positioning component drives the first positioning component via the connection component to disengage from the first positioning part.

A shipping strap assembly protects the isolator mechanism of a vibratory screening machine against exceeding its elastic limits. The isolator mechanism is pivotally connected between shafts on the machine frame and the machine basket. The protective assembly includes a distally narrowing boss on at least one of the shafts. A rigid strap has two apertures, one contoured to receive and ride on the boss and the other contoured to receive the other shaft, spaced to maintain the distance between the shaft axes within an elastic limit of the isolator mechanism. The narrowing boss provides leeway for easy manual alignment of the mechanism shafts with the strap apertures, and the narrowing boss and contour of the other aperture facilitate restoration toward its normal load length, of an elastically distorted mechanism.

Disclosed is a mooring line connector assembly for connecting a mooring line to a floating structure, including: a tubular housing connectable to the floating structure, having a lower housing end and an upper housing end with an inner circumference; a connector body extending along a connector axis, having an upper connector body end and a lower connector body end connected to the mooring line; a guiding body rotatably arranged on the connector body to be freely rotatable around the connector body and the connector axis, including first rotation unit on an outer surface of the guiding body and a guiding part having an outer circumference at an upper guiding body end; and second rotation unit arranged on an inner surface of the tubular housing, arranged for engaging the first rotation unit.

A fastener and method for mounting a connector to a panel, the fastener having an outer sleeve housing having a mount bushing portion and a locking portion with a collapsible end, and an inner pin member received in the outer sleeve housing and axially moveable therein between locked and unlocked positions. The inner pin member has a body with a head end that cooperates with the mount bushing portion of the outer sleeve housing and a locking end that cooperates with the locking portion of the outer sleeve portion. When the inner pin member is in the unlocked position, the collapsible end of the locking portion of the outer sleeve housing is allowed to collapse. When the inner pin member is in the locked position, the locking end of the inner pin member prevents collapse of the collapsible end of the locking portion of the outer sleeve housing.

A simple locking device includes a locking bracket, a locking tongue piece, a tension spring, a tension side wall, a base, at least two guide shafts, connection components and, wherein the locking bracket includes a lock piece, at least two guide holes and a retaining piece; the tension side wall is fixed to the base; and the at least two guide shafts respectively pass through the at least two guide holes to mount the locking bracket onto the base, such that the locking bracket is guided by the guide holes to move.
