An assembly (10) of a lens (16, 18) and a component (24, 26). The lens (12, 14) defines a mounting aperture (32) and the component (24, 26) defines amounting protrusion (36) inserted in the mounting aperture (32). The lens (16,18) and mounting protrusion (36) together define a threaded bore (34) receiving a threaded fastener (30) therein into. Part of the circumference of the threaded bore (34) is defined by the lens (16, 18) and part of the circumference of the threaded bore (34) is defined by the mounting protrusion (36).

A connection node assembly for use in connecting an upper prefabricated building module to a lower module. Hollow vertical edge supports of the building modules have top and bottom connection parts. A connecting bolt can be passed through the top part of an upper vertical support in the upper building module and seated within the bottom part of that vertical support with the shank extending downward. The shank engages a threaded aperture in a connecting nut secured within the top part of a corresponding lower vertical support in the lower building module. Diaphragm plates sandwiched between the upper and lower vertical supports are used to tie horizontally placed modules together.

The present invention relates to a device and a method associated with the device. With respect to the device, it is a structural connector for fastening structural components in insulated concrete formwork (ICF). The structural connector consists of a double threaded cylinder bolt assembly that aligns through openings in the ICF wall. One end of the cylinder bolt assembly embeds into the cavity of the ICF wall where openings in the cylinder bolt assembly receive concrete and reinforcement bars. The other end of the cylinder bolt assembly is threaded to receive a double threaded washer head bolt. The cylinder bolt assembly is used to mount ledger boards, floor joist hangers and roof truss connectors to the ICF wall, locking them together acting as one unit in withstanding bending and uplift loads imposed by large forces such as floor and roof truss systems.

A deformable insertion fastening arrangement for insertion into a planar ply structure and for retention thereon by subsequent deformation, including a retention component having a passthrough opening passing through it along a passthrough axis and having a fastening configuration for fastening a further component thereonto; the retention component having at least two portions that are radially displaceable relative to the notional passthrough axis that passes centrally through the passthrough opening, the retention component, when considered in its undeformed initial state, is embodied segmentedly in a circumferential direction around the passthrough axis; at least two segments, constituting the radially displaceable portions, being connected to one another by at least one connecting configuration deformable in a circumferential direction; at least one segment being displaceable in a radial direction away from the passthrough axis against a shape inertia force of the at least one connecting configuration, accompanied by enlargement of the passthrough opening.

A towel holder includes a fixing unit and a holder unit. The fixing unit includes a fixed element and a connecting element. The fixed element has a receiving surface inclined relative to the horizontal axis to form an angle therebetween. The fixed element includes a mounting portion formed in the middle thereof and detachably mounted with the connecting element. The holder unit is detachably mounted to the connecting element and includes a holder element that has a mounting surface abutting against the receiving surface, and top and bottom edges connected to the mounting surface and vertically and horizontally spaced apart from each other such that two opposite ends of the towel hung on the holder element are spaced apart from each other by a horizontal distance greater than that between the top and bottom edges.

A bottle rack includes a panel that has a front surface and an opposing back surface, and support bars cantilevered from the panel and extending from the front surface. Each of the support bars has a linear bottle supporting portion that is positioned, and that is at an acute angle, relative to the front surface such that at least two of the support bars can support a bottle while forcing the bottle against the front surface. The rack may be a label forward rack. Additionally, the various joints, grooves, and slots used to join the support bars to the panel may also be used to join any the support bars and panels of any suitable bottle rack.

A bolted joint with a drum-shaped spherical shell for connecting a circular steel tube brace, including a drum-shaped spherical shell and N connecting members, connecting members each include a curved European nut, a bolt for space trusses, a sleeve, a sealing plate (or a conehead) and a circular steel tube. There are at least three forms: a corner drum, a half drum and a full drum. Specifications of the high-strength bolt for space trusses are determined, and the geometric dimensions, tensile and compressive bearing capacity of the joint are selected. The bolted joint has clear force transmission and a small deviation between theoretically analyzed stress and actual stress; has no eccentricity, can be finely adjusted and has reliable mechanical performance; is in bolted connection and is installed efficiently; and is not convex, thereby facilitating wallboard installation and indoor decoration.

An apparatus for securely displaying a product includes a post, a cradle assembly supported by the post, the cradle assembly including a base plate and a plurality of plates slidably engaged with the base plate, each plate of the plurality of plates including a respective arm to engage a respective side of the product, a lock mount fixed to, and extending outward from, the base plate, the post, or the base plate and the post, and a lock disposed in the lock mount, the lock engaging a respective plate of the plurality of plates to fasten the respective plate of the plurality of plates to the base plate.

A cable tie mount for supporting an object, the cable tie mount includes: a body including a mounting face formed on a first side of the body, a threaded bore formed in a second opposing side of the body, and a first cable tie passage formed on the body and configured to receive a cable tie therethrough; and a support portion including a threaded portion extending therefrom and configured to threadably engage the threaded bore formed in the second opposing side of the body. The body is configured to mount to the object with one or more cable ties, and wherein the body is configured to be threadably secured to the support portion for supporting the object mounted on the body at a desired location.

A bottle rack includes a panel that has a front surface and an opposing back surface, and support bars cantilevered from the panel and extending from the front surface. Each of the support bars has a linear bottle supporting portion that is positioned, and that is at an acute angle, relative to the front surface such that at least two of the support bars can support a bottle while forcing the bottle against the front surface. The rack may be a label forward rack. Additionally, the various joints, grooves, and slots used to join the support bars to the panel may also be used to join any the support bars and panels of any suitable bottle rack.
