STORAGE CLIP
A storage clip includes a first finger having a top surface and a bottom surface, and a second finger having a top surface facing the first finger and a bottom surface facing away from the first finger. The second finger is connected to the first finger with an integral hinge that produces a biasing force such that a first end of the first finger is biased towards a first end of the second finger. An integral connector extends from the bottom surface of the second finger.
SENSOR DETECTION OF MAGNETIC SUPPORT SYSTEM FOR ELECTRONIC DEVICES
Support systems for electronic devices such as display screens are described and have support connector portions configured to connect to support devices such as adjustable mount supports. The support devices have magnetic elements, and the display devices have magnetic sensors configured to detect the magnetic fields emitted from the support devices. A relationship between the magnetic fields detected and target magnetic field values is determined to provide an output signal or indicator of the propriety of the support device used or the propriety of its connection to the display device.
Cleat connector
A cleat connector for mounting a cabinet is provided including a substantially cylindrical body and a slot. The substantially cylindrical body has a perimeter and a diameter that corresponds to an opening in a back of a cabinet. The slot extends from the perimeter partially into the body. A cabinet and method of installation is also provided.
Stackable storage system with pressure sensitive lock
A stackable storage system with a pressure sensitive lock where downward pressure on the first container causes a surface of a first locking portion on a first container to slide against an inclined surface of a second locking portion on a second container and causes the inclined surface of the second locking portion to pivot outward and snap back into place to connect the first container and the second container.
All-purpose mounting system
The present disclosure relates to a mounting system and a method for using the mounting system. Features and implementations include: (1) clip assemblies fastened to an object, the clip assemblies having two magnetic connection members; (2) anchor magnets affixed to a building, wall, or other structure; and (3) a mounting head with a mounting-head magnet, the mounting head being attached to a pole and used to connect the clip assemblies to the anchor magnets without the use of a ladder.
Rack
The invention relates to a rack comprising at least one longitudinal profile, which can be vertically aligned, to which retaining means can be attached, into which trays, cabinet elements or other shelf elements can be inserted, which retaining means are held in clamping fashion via clamping jaws on the longitudinal profile. The clamping jaws are attached to a first plate-shaped based body and to a second plate-shaped base body, which are arranged lying one atop the other and can be moved against each other, guided by guiding means, and as a result the clamping jaws can be tensioned against lateral surfaces of the longitudinal profile. A rotation axle of an eccentric for moving the clamping jaws is rotatably mounted in the first plate-shaped base body and the eccentric body protrudes into a recess of the second plate-shaped base body. A simply designed retaining means is thus obtained which can be easily clamped on the longitudinal profile.
INSERTION RAIL FOR A SOLAR MODULE MOUNTING SYSTEM
An insertion rail for a solar panel mounting system is provided. The insertion rail has a mounting wall configured for connection to the solar panel mounting system, wherein the mounting wall is posited at a lower end of a first side of the insertion rail, a vertical leg coupled to the mounting wall at at least one location, wherein the vertical leg is positioned at a second side of the insertion rail, and at least one mating section located at an upper end of the insertion rail. The mating section has an upper tab, a lower tab and the upper tab and lower tab are configured to receive and secure a solar panel integrally therewith using an interference fit.
Plastic composite board
The present disclosure discloses plastic composite board comprising an upper board, a lower board, and a fastener. The lower board supports the upper board. The upper board comprises a panel and a downward edge disposed on a periphery of the panel. The periphery of the panel sinks downward to define a horizontal step surface, and the downward edge extends downward from an outer edge of the horizontal step surface. The fastener comprises a buckle groove. An inner side of the buckle groove defines an opening, and the buckle groove surrounds side portions of the upper board and the lower board to fixedly clamp the upper board and the lower board together. An upper wall of the buckle groove abuts the horizontal step surface, and a top surface of the fastener is lower than a top surface of the upper board.
System for Mounting Solar Panels
A mounting system for mounting a solar panel assembly to a base assembly includes a panel support bracket, a base bracket and a clamp configured to exert a compressive force to hold the panel support bracket and the base bracket together. The clamp comprises a V-shaped clamp body that includes a pair of legs that are spring-loaded to oppose an approximation of the legs by an external compressive force. The clamp includes a pair of receiver slots, with each of the pair of receiver slots located on a corresponding one of the pair of legs. The pair of receiver slots collectively provides a clearance to admit the panel support bracket and the base bracket when the legs are compressed together.
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.
