An anchor channel of C-shaped cross-section for embedding in concrete, wherein a lip which adjoins the slot-like opening has been reinforced. In order to achieve high holding forces against withdrawal of a hammerhead element, a setting angle assumes a maximum value in a region that is located closer to the side wall than to the opening.

A boat trailer depth indicator module and method of installation thereof. The boat trailer depth indicator allows a driver towing a boat trailer to position the boat trailer at an appropriate depth in the water on a boat ramp to launch or recover a boat without the need for an assistant. When the boat trailer is located at an appropriate depth in the water, the boat trailer depth indicator provides a signal to the driver. The signal communicates to the driver and/or the helmsman of the boat, for example, that the boat trailer is sufficiently submerged and ready for launch or recovery of the boat. The boat trailer depth indicator module is independent of vehicle or trailer power and can be installed and adjusted quickly without the use of tools.

A modular platform system includes a plurality of tiles, legs, beams, and brackets. Peripheries of the tiles and top surfaces of the beams are configured so that the tiles can snap on to the beams, allowing for easy creation of a platform. The beams, legs, and brackets are all configured so that the beams and legs are easily connected together for platform system creation.

A system to prevent a sliding nut in a channel in a bar from escaping from the channel, and to prevent the nut from entering a no-go-zone at the end of the channel. The system is adjustable to position the nut at a desirable location along the length of the channels to mount coupling devices onto the bar.

A profile bar (10, 10a) formed as an extruded part and consisting of a light metal alloy, in particular an aluminum alloy, with a rectangular in particular square, cross-section, wherein a longitudinal groove pair (20, 20a), comprising two longitudinal grooves arranged parallel to one another and at a distance from one another, is provided in each case on at least one lateral surface, preferably on all four lateral surfaces, and with at least two, preferably four, longitudinal channels which extend parallel to the longitudinal grooves and which form in each case an opening (40) for fastening in each case a pen (34) on each of the two end faces (36) of the profile bar (10, 10a), wherein each longitudinal channel is arranged on an imaginary intersection line of planes extending at a right angle to one another and arranged perpendicularly to in each case a lateral surface, wherein at least one of the planes is a longitudinal center plane of a longitudinal groove of a longitudinal groove pair (20).

A magnetic strut channel fitting includes first and second plates connected to each other and a plurality of magnets embedded into at least one of the first and second plates. According to another embodiment of the present invention, a magnetic strut channel fitting includes a substantially flat plate and a plurality of magnets embedded into the plate. According to yet another embodiment of the present invention, a magnetic strut channel fitting includes a substantially flat connecting plate, first and second arm members, each of the first and second arm members having a vertical plate and a horizontal plate, and a plurality of magnets, the plurality of magnets embedded into the connecting plate to allow the magnetic strut channel fitting to magnetically adhere to a strut channel. The plurality of magnets allow the magnetic strut channel fitting to be magnetically adhered to a strut channel.

The present disclosure relates to extrusion-coated structural systems including at least one extruded profile member coupled to and extending outwardly from an extrusion-coated structural member, as well as methods of making and using the same. Structural systems of the present invention that include at least one extruded profile member may exhibit enhanced flexibility, functionality, and/or durability. Structural systems according to embodiments of the present invention can be suitable for use in a variety of applications, including in ready-to-assemble furniture or cabinetry applications or as building and construction materials such as wall board, flooring, trim, and the like.

Profile bar (2) preferably an aluminum alloy, with at least one undercut longitudinal slot (6) which has a slot bottom (8) and extends in the direction of the longitudinal extent (L) of the profile bar (2), and of which the longitudinal slot opening (13) opposite the slot bottom (8) in the direction of a longitudinal slot height (H), perpendicular to the longitudinal extent (L) of the longitudinal slot (6), is bounded by two undercut sections (14, 15) spaced apart by the longitudinal slot opening (13), wherein a longitudinal slot opening width (b), measured perpendicular to the longitudinal extent (L) of the longitudinal slot (6), is less than a maximum longitudinal slot width (b.sub.n) in a longitudinal slot region located below the undercut sections (14, 15) as seen along the longitudinal slot height (H), wherein a longitudinal duct (9) extending parallel to the longitudinal slot (6) is provided below the slot bottom (8), which duct is spaced from a section (7) forming the slot bottom (8), which is formed as a penetration section and/or forming section made of profile bar solid material, which is penetrable by a connector screw (4) in the direction of the longitudinal slot height (H) for establishing a form-fit with the profile bar (2), and/or into which, for establishing a form-fit with the profile bar (2), a connector screw (4) can be formed in the direction of the longitudinal slot height (H) in such a way that profile bar solid material of the forming section is displaceable into the longitudinal duct (9).

A twist-locking fitting for securing a strut to a rod includes first and second fitting pieces. Each fitting piece includes a half-nut portion having an interior surface defining an axis extending through first and second axial ends of the half-nut portion. Each fitting piece includes an outer flange extending outward from adjacent the first axial end of the half-nut portion and an inner flange extending outward from adjacent the second axial end of the half-nut portion. The inner flange is spaced axially apart from the outer flange to define a clearance gap. The fitting pieces are positionable on the strut in an unsecured position in which the fitting pieces are movable relative to one another. The fitting pieces are rotatable relative to the strut to move from the unsecured position to a secured position, in which the fitting pieces are fixed relative to one another on the strut.

A cantilever assembly includes a cantilever arm having longitudinal fastening channels and slots in communication with the fastening channels. The assembly also includes an attachment bracket featuring a first leg portion and a second leg portion defining a seat there between with the leg portions featuring apertures. Bolts having threaded shafts are positioned through the apertures of the attachment bracket and engage the threaded bores of nut plates positioned in the fastening channels of the cantilever arm. As a result, when the bolts are turned, the nut plates engage side walls of the fastening channels and the distal ends of the bolts engage a central pipe portion of the cantilever arm.
