A turnbuckle for tensioning frame formwork elements, the turnbuckle comprising a first clamping apparatus which has a crosspiece and a first clamping jaw. The crosspiece has a guide portion comprising a row of track teeth which are arranged behind one another and extend in parallel with one another. The turnbuckle also has a second clamping apparatus which has a second clamping jaw. The second clamping apparatus can be shifted in a tensioning direction along the longitudinal axis of the crosspiece towards the first clamping jaw. The track teeth extend in each case in an arc from a first longitudinal edge of the crosspiece towards a second longitudinal edge of the crosspiece. The second clamping apparatus has at least one support tooth which extends in an arc and can be rotated about a rotational shaft.

A panel assembly for installation onto a track beam including a beam flange having a non-linear edge is disclosed. The panel assembly includes a panel and a lockable catch moveably connected to the panel. The lockable catch includes a lockable mating edge configured to selectively mate with the non-linear edge of the beam flange of the track beam. The lockable catch also includes a lockable catch edge extending beyond the lockable mating edge. The lockable catch is moveable on a lower surface of the panel between an unlocked position and a locked position. In the unlocked position the lockable catch edge is retracted. In the locked position, the lockable mating edge mates with the non-linear edge of the beam flange and the lockable catch edge retains the panel on the track beam.

In an example, a clamp assembly for a glass on glass solar module for a tracker is included. The assembly has a lower clamp structure characterized by a top-hat shaped rail structure having a length extending from a first end to a second end. In an example, the assembly has an upper clamp structure configured to sandwich a pair of edges of a pair of solar modules with a portion of the lower clamp structure. In an example, the assembly has a locking spacer configured to the pair of edges of the pair of solar modules. In an example, the pair of edges comprises substantially glass material. In an example, the assembly has a pair of key structures configured with the locking spacer. Each of the key structures is affixed to each of the solar modules to physically lock each of the solar modules to the upper clamp structure.

Locking mechanisms and separable, repairable (e.g., electronic) devices having locking mechanisms are described herein. In one example, a locking mechanism includes a chassis having a base, a first side wall extending from a surface of the base, and a second side wall extending from the surface of the base. A cavity is provided in a volume formed by the first side wall, the second side wall, and the surface of the base, wherein the cavity is configured to receive a mating component of the device. The locking mechanism also includes a cantilevered plate having a first end and a second, opposite end, wherein the cantilevered plate is attached to the first side wall of the chassis at or adjacent to the first end, and wherein the second end of the cantilevered plate is positioned with the cavity.

Connectors, systems with connectors and processes with connectors are described. These include how connectors can actively hold external portions of two frames or other components together during transport and before final installation, as well as, how the connectors can be repositionable on the frame or other component so as to provide a mechanical connection in one position and not to provide a mechanical connection when moved into a second position. The connectors can also function to provide spacing or alignment or both between frames or other components grouped together using the connectors.

An outdoor equipment cover is configured to be utilized with outdoor equipment having a metallic component, the outdoor equipment cover includes a cover body, a magnetic fastener, and a secondary fastener. The cover body presents an outer edge disposed along a bottom side and a cover void therein configured to receive the outdoor equipment therein. The magnetic fastener and the secondary fastener are each secured to the cover body. The magnetic fastener is configured to provide a magnetic force to keep the magnetic fastener selectively secured to the metallic component of the outdoor equipment so as to keep the cover body in place around the outdoor equipment therein. The secondary fastener is configured to reduce a cross-sectional area of the cover void so as to prevent the outdoor equipment cover from being removed from the outdoor equipment while the secondary fastener is emplaced.

A structural assembly including a first structural member defining a first partial bore and including a first protrusion and a second protrusion, a second structural member defining a second partial bore and including a first protrusion and a second protrusion, wherein the second partial bore is aligned with the first partial bore to define a through-bore, a shaft extending through the through-bore, wherein the shaft includes a first end portion and a second end portion, a first engagement member proximate the first end portion, wherein the first engagement member engages both the first protrusion of the first structural member and the first protrusion of the second structural member, and a second engagement member proximate the second end portion, wherein the second engagement member engages both the second protrusion of the first structural member and the second protrusion of the second structural member.

Resilient mounting clips, panel mount systems including the same, and associated methods. A resilient mounting clip includes a support structure engagement portion and a panel engagement portion with a plurality of edge extensions and a plurality of outboard panel supports. Each outboard panel support extends from a respective edge extension. Each outboard panel support is configured to move at least substantially parallel to a compression axis when the respective edge extension resiliently flexes with respect to the support structure engagement portion. A panel mount system includes at least one support structure, at least one resilient mounting clip, and at least two panels received by each mounting clip. A method of assembling a panel mount system includes positioning and securing a resilient mounting clip on a support structure and receiving each of a first panel and a second panel with the resilient mounting clip.
