A journal bearing for centering a misaligned pin is disclosed. The journal bearing includes an outer bushing defining an outer bore. The outer bore is offset with respect to an axis of rotation of the journal bearing by a misalignment distance. The misalignment distance represents a distance between the axis of rotation of the journal bearing and a center axis of the misaligned pin. The journal bearing further includes an inner bushing defining an inner bore. The inner bore is offset with respect to the axis of rotation of the journal bearing by the misalignment distance. The inner bushing is seated within the outer bore of the outer bushing. The inner bushing and the outer bushing are both configured to rotate relative to one another to center an inner periphery of the inner bushing around the misaligned pin.

A rotatable flush mounted fishing rod holder including a rod holding tube with an annular flange extending radially from an upper end thereof, and an annular cover member to attach relative to a surface over the annular flange to hold the rod holding tube to the surface but allow rotation of the rod holding tube relative thereto.

An anchor platform assembly for anchoring an object to a raised, generally flat roof-like structure, has an anchor baseplate having a top surface and a bottom surface, and an internally threaded blindbore extending at least partially from the top surface generally towards the bottom surface and fasteners for fastening an object to the anchor baseplate via its blindbore, and for fastening the anchor baseplate to a top surface of a roof-like structure. The assembly is especially intended for supporting, e.g., glass railings on balconies, terraces and flat roofs and for mounted solar panels on both flat and pitched roofs which provides strength and affords watertight performance.

A rebar anchoring system and method are provided. The system includes: a rebar, with an external thread formed on the periphery of at least one end; an anchoring head, with a first perforation and a second perforation disposed respectively at both ends extending axially into the anchoring head and communicating with each other, the inner sides of the first and second perforations being formed respectively with a first internal thread matching with the external thread of the rebar and a second internal thread, and the anchoring head being mounted on the end of the rebar through the first internal thread and the external thread of the rebar; and a bolt, having a screw rod matching with the second internal thread, the screw rod being locked into the second perforation of the anchoring head, and the end of the screw rod pressing against the end of the rebar.

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 rebar anchoring system and method are provided. The system includes: a rebar, with an external thread formed on the periphery of at least one end; an anchoring head, with a first perforation and a second perforation disposed respectively at both ends extending axially into the anchoring head and communicating with each other, the inner sides of the first and second perforations being formed respectively with a first internal thread matching with the external thread of the rebar and a second internal thread, and the anchoring head being mounted on the end of the rebar through the first internal thread and the external thread of the rebar; and a bolt, having a screw rod matching with the second internal thread, the screw rod being locked into the second perforation of the anchoring head, and the end of the screw rod pressing against the end of the rebar.

A fence post leveling bracket assembly and system and method for use of the same are disclosed. In one embodiment of the vertically supporting assembly, an upper fence post bracket and a lower fence post bracket having a reference placement where an upper base plate of the upper fence post bracket is parallel to a lower base plate of the lower fence post bracket. The upper fence post bracket and the lower fence post bracket also have deviated placements where the upper base plate is nonparallel to the lower base plate. In both the reference placement and the deviated placements, adjustable vertical drift rods span a cavity between the upper base plate and the lower base plate. Lean in a fence may be corrected by selectively adjusting the adjustable vertical drift rods.

A combined anchor and fastener that includes an anchor baseplate having a top surface and a bottom surface and at least one throughbore extending from the top surface to the bottom surface thereof. An elongated post is coupled to the anchor baseplate having a first end and a second end and an at least partially threaded, internal cylindrical bore for receipt therein of a mechanical fastener. The bore extends from the first end of the post towards the second end thereof with said post internal bore being in alignment and registry with the anchor baseplate throughbore. The post has a second end portion depending from said bottom surface of said anchor baseplate. The bottom surface of the anchor baseplate is configured to allow at least a portion of the concrete structure to abut and lie generally flush thereagainst except for the area of said bottom surface thereof which is covered by the post. An anchor is provided for anchoring the anchor baseplate to a concrete structure. A method of anchoring and fastening an object to a concrete structure is also disclosed.

An anchor platform assembly for anchoring an object to a structure, especially intended for mounting the object on an inside or outside corner of a support structure mounted on a roof, includes an anchor baseplate having a first sidewall and second sidewall disposed at an angle to the first sidewall, each having a surface and second surface, an elongated post coupled to the first sidewall of the baseplate and projecting outwardly from the first surface thereof. The post has a first end secured to the first sidewall of the anchor baseplate, a second free end, and an at least partially threaded, cylindrical blind bore extending from the first surface of the first sidewall of the anchor baseplate into the post, with the second surface of the anchor baseplate being configured to allow the structure to lie generally flush against the second surface of the first sidewall except for the area of the second surface covered by the post. A cylindrical mechanical fastener having a straight thread is used for fastening an object to the anchor baseplate via the blind bore. A multiple post stud anchor platform assembly is also disclosed.

An anchor platform assembly for anchoring an object to a structure includes an anchor baseplate having a generally planar first surface and second surface, an elongated post coupled to the baseplate and projecting outwardly from the first surface thereof. The post has a first end secured to the anchor baseplate, a second free end, and an at least partially threaded, cylindrical blind bore extending from the first surface of the anchor baseplate into the post, with the second surface of the anchor baseplate being configured to allow the structure to lie generally flush against the second surface except for the area of the second surface covered by the post. A cylindrical mechanical fastener having a straight thread is used for fastening an object to the anchor baseplate via the blind bore. A dual post anchor assembly is also disclosed.
