A bushing assembly for tubular structures is disclosed. The bushing assembly includes a body having a substantially flat configuration and defining a planar surface and an outer edge; and a plurality of projections extending from the outer edge and traverse to the planar surface, each projection defining a longitudinal axis, each projection including at least one ridge extending at least partially along a surface of the projection and along the longitudinal axis.

A system for improving alignment in welded assemblies is provided. The system includes a support member having a surface and a projection extending from the surface. The projection may include one of a convex or a concave geometry. The system includes a positioning member provided over the support member for receiving a frame member. The positioning member may be movable over the support member, and the positioning member may include a geometry configured to engage the one of the convex or the concave geometry. The frame member may be movable from a first position relative to a center of the projection to a second position relative to the center of the projection during movement of the positioning member over the support member.

A vehicular module attachment assembly includes a vehicular cabin module having a peg that includes a foot. A locking device is slidably coupled to the peg. A slot is formed in a cabin floor including first and second grooves configured to retain the foot. The locking device adjusts between an unlocked position, wherein the peg is slidable between the first and second grooves, and a locked position, wherein the peg is retained in the second groove.

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 sun visor connector includes: a bracket; an arm portion having an end inserted through the bracket to be rotatably arranged; a housing fixed to the bracket and arranged in a vicinity of the end of the arm portion inserted through the bracket; a pair of connector terminals accommodated in the housing and connected to counterpart terminals; a pair of arm connection parts provided in an elastically deformable manner on the pair of connector terminals and connected by sandwiching the end of the arm portion by a biasing force; and a preliminary displacement portion provided in the housing, abutting on the pair of arm connection parts, and causing the pair of arm connection parts to be arranged in a separated manner by keeping a biasing force against the end of the arm portion.

An attachment is configured to connect a first connecting plate of a vehicle component to a second connecting plate of a vehicle body. The attachment includes a body, first, second and third flanges, and a press-fit insert. The attachment is of an elastically deformable material and is configured to be inserted into first and second through holes of the first and second connecting plates. The flanges engage the connecting plates when the attachment is inserted into the through holes. The body includes a hole extending longitudinally within the body to accommodate the press-fit insert. The press-fit insert has a diameter greater than the diameter of the hole to form a snug connection between the press-fit insert and the hole. The insertion of the press-fit insert into the hole elastically deforms the attachment to urge the body radially against the connecting plates to provide a robust connection between the connecting plates.

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 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 clamp device for mounting equipment to a support structure including a base and a slider. The base includes a first trough formed in the front side of the base and a second trough formed in the back side of the base and a first coupling element located on the first lateral side and a second coupling element located on the second lateral side of the base. Each of the first and second coupling elements extend from near the top end of the base towards the bottom end of the base at an angle relative to the first trough. The slider includes a channel on a back side of the slider and corresponding coupling elements within the channel configured to slidingly engage the first and second coupling elements upon association of the slider with the base.
