CONVERTIBLE SECURITY APPARATUS
A security apparatus includes an anchoring member removably coupled to a display surface and defining a cavity with one or more securing elements positioned in the cavity. It further includes a security assembly removably coupled to the anchoring member and comprising a guide with one or more securing element engagement members, a first extension assembly, and a second extension assembly. The first extension assembly moveably coupled to the guide and includes a lock configured to be moved between a locked state and an unlocked state, and the second extension assembly is coupled to the guide. The security assembly is at least partially received in the cavity and the one or more securing elements interact with the one or more securing element engagement members to releasably couple the security assembly to the anchoring member.
MOUNTING DEVICE FOR NAIL STRIP PANELS
A mounting assembly disposable on a nail strip seam rib of a building surface includes a mounting body having an exterior, which in turn comprises a slot configured to separately receive a plurality of different nail strip seam rib profiles. The mounting assembly also includes an insert that is at least partially disposable in the slot, and a threaded fastener that extends through the mounting body, into the slot, and engages the insert.
Methods and apparatus for forming node to panel joints
A node to panel interface structure for use in a transport structure such as a vehicle is disclosed. In an aspect, the node includes a base, first and second sides protruding from the base to form a recess for receiving a panel, ports for adhesive injection and/or vacuum generation, one or more adhesive regions disposed on a surface of each side adjacent the panel, and at least one channel coupled between the first and second ports and configured to fill the adhesive regions with an adhesive, the adhesive being cured to form a node-panel interface. The node may be additively manufactured. In an exemplary embodiment, the node may use sealant features for including sealants that border and define the adhesive regions, and that may hermetically seal the region before and after adhesive injection. In another embodiment, the node may include isolation features for including isolators for inhibiting galvanic corrosion. In another aspect, adhesive may be filled serially on the adhesive regions on the first side and then on the adhesive regions on the second side. Adhesive may alternatively may be filled in parallel, or concurrently, on the adhesive regions of both sides.
