A nail plate driving system for safely and efficiently installing nail plates at various heights. A first handle having an engaging head removably receives a second handle having a magnet. The magnet of the second handle is configured to magnetically secure a metal nail plate to allow a user to position the nail plate in a desired location on a wood member to be striked by the engaging head of the first handle. After the nail plate is secured to the wood member the magnet is removed from the nail plate and the process is repeated with the next nail plate. When not in use, the second handle may be secured within the first handle.

A roll cage is formed by joining tubes using an intermediate member with shoulder portions that insert within the tubes. Two inserts secure within the tubes, at least one being threaded. A threaded bolt is inserted through a first insert, through the intermediate member, and threaded into the second insert. Other tubes secure to the intermediate member such that the tubes together form a roll cage that may be secured to the chassis of a vehicle. For multi-row vehicles, a third insert secures in the second tube and has a threaded shaft protruding from it. The threaded shaft is passed through a second intermediate member and threaded into a threaded insert in a third tube and the second tube is rotated.

A coupler including a fitting for mounting to externally threaded reinforcing bar for use in concrete construction, the fitting including a body having a portion with an internal thread for engagement with the thread of the reinforcing bar, wherein the internal thread has an asymmetric thread form having an outer ramped portion and an inner ramped portion, the outer ramped portion being inclined to a central axis of the coupler at a first angle, the inner ramped portion being inclined to the central axis of the coupler at a second angle, the first angle being smaller in magnitude than the second angle.

A rapid assembly type tool rod connection structure comprising an outer sleeve, an inner sleeve and a fastening sleeve, wherein, the fastening sleeve is connected with the outer sleeve; the inner sleeve is sheathed inside of the outer sleeve, a reinforced limiting component is provided between the inner sleeve and the fastening sleeve, which is connected to the inner sleeve and the fastening sleeve to limit the inner sleeve and the fastening sleeve.

A post coupler expands laterally. The post coupler includes a first member that is hollow and has a first slanted face. A second member is also hollow and has a second slanted face that is abutted with the first slanted face. A rod extends through the first and second members; the rod has a head that is disposed at a head end and threads disposed at a thread end. A nut is engaged with the threads, and rotating the nut causes the first member to extend in a first lateral direction and causes the second cylindrical member to extend in a second lateral direction opposite the first lateral direction.

A pretensionable locking system, a method for producing a locking system and a medical-technical instrument including a locking system. The locking system (2) includes a locking body (10) with an inner thread (12), and an inner locking body (20) with an outer thread (22). In a pretensioned position, the inner thread lies against the outer thread in a first longitudinal axial direction (80) and is pretensioned against the outer thread. In a locked position, the outer locking body is fixed on the inner locking body by screwing the inner thread onto the outer thread. The outer locking body has a resilient retaining element (14) that projects radially inward, and the inner locking body has a rigid bulge (24) that projects radially outward. In the pretensioned position, the retaining element lies against the bulge in a second longitudinal axial direction (85) that is opposite the first longitudinal axial direction.

A joint includes: a first coupling section configured to be coupled to an end of a first pipe; and a second coupling section configured to be coupled to an end of a second pipe. The first coupling section has: a first sealing portion configured to be continuous with a first sealing surface or a second sealing surface of the first pipe; and a first non-sealing portion configured to be continuous with a first non-sealing surface or a second non-sealing surface of the first pipe. The second coupling section has: a second sealing portion configured to be continuous with a first sealing surface or a second sealing surface of the second pipe; and a second non-sealing portion configured to be continuous with a first non-sealing surface or a second non-sealing surface of the second pipe.

A hose adapter may include an outer tube, an inner tube, a hose connector, and a hose. An inner peripheral ring protrudes from the inner periphery of the outer tube while an expanding ring portion protrudes from the outer periphery of an end of the inner tube. The outer periphery of the inner tube further has a first peripheral recess, a second peripheral recess, and a first outer thread, and a first O-ring and a second O-ring are respectively disposed on the first peripheral recess and the second peripheral recess. The inner tube is inserted into the outer tube, and the expanding ring portion is abutted against the inner peripheral ring, and the first O-ring is coupled between the outer tube and the inner tube while the second O-ring and the first outer thread are adapted to pass through and be exposed out of the outer tube.

The present invention proposes a solution for anchoring systems, which can be applied to connect a robotic system with its power supply structure (for example, umbilical cables), or then separate the same into several modules, each containing a pair of anchors.

The objective is achieved when the sleeve (4) is tensioned, by pulling the ring against its stop and, thus, performing a self-locking. The self-locking occurs because the friction force generated at the lace interface is greater than the sleeve tensioning force. Also, allied to this, so that there is an initial friction force, the mesh is tightened by threading the stop of the conventional ring in the house of the conventional ring.

The proposed solution takes up little space for the anchoring system, and can be applied in pipes of reduced internal diameter, still being a robust tension anchoring solution. It can be applied to any part of the robot and as many times as necessary, not being limited to the connection with the umbilical.

A rod piece connection device, comprising: a first connection piece and a second connection piece. The first connection piece includes a first rod piece connection end and a first joggle joint end opposite to the first rod piece connection end. Wherein, the first joggle joint end includes a protrusion head tongue portion and a neck portion. The second connection piece includes a second rod piece connection end and a second joggle joint end opposite to the second rod piece connection end. The second joggle joint end is located corresponding to the first joggle joint end for them to form into a joggle joint. The second joggle joint end includes a protrusion bottom groove portion and a pillow portion. Wherein the protrusion head tongue portion is disposed corresponding into the protrusion bottom groove portion, and the neck portion is located corresponding to the pillow portion.
