A device for fitting two components together by a clevis is improved by a seal including a deformable ring subjected to axial compression between one of the cheeks and a mobile washer which is brought closer to the cheek when a bolt passing through the clevis is tightened. This axial compression causes the rod to be clamped by the seal, eliminating all play and giving the assembly good cohesion while at the same time eliminating the transmission of vibration and noise.

An assembly includes a first structure, a first bearing assembly, and a second structure. The first structure has a first predetermined stiffness, and the first bearing assembly is mounted on the first structure. The second structure, which has a second predetermined stiffness, is mounted on the first bearing assembly, whereby relative motion about a first rotational axis is allowed between the first and second structure. At least one of the first structure and the second structure distort when a force is supplied thereto along the first rotational axis, and the distortion of at least one of the first structure and the second structure imparts a first preload force on the first bearing assembly.

An actuation system includes a linear actuator extends longitudinally along an actuation axis. A first link extends along a first centerline parallel to the actuation axis, where first link is on a first side of the linear actuator. A second link extends along a second centerline parallel to the actuation axis, where the second link is on a second side of the linear actuator. The first and the second links are configured to transfer a load along the first and the second centerlines between the component and the linear actuator.

A plant training system for use with a pot that is arranged to hold a plant includes a plurality of bases that are adapted to be coupled to the pot, wherein each base is adapted to carry a stake or pole, and wherein the angle of the stake or pole relative to the pot is adjustable. There is a mechanical system for holding each base on the pot.

A mobile device accessory assembly having a plurality of mobile device accessories. The assembly has a body member having a durable shell member having a shape to accommodate a mobile device, a recess for receiving a metal piece, a circular central accessory opening with a lip around a portion of the circumference of the central accessory opening, a lower accessory opening, and a hinge structure at an edge of the lower accessory opening and a metal piece secured in the recess in the durable shell. A holding accessory is rotatably secured in the circular central accessory opening in the durable shell. A hanging accessory is secured by a magnet to the metal piece in the recess in the durable shell. A standing accessory having a hinge member secured to the hinge member in the lower accessory opening in the durable shell.

A laser lowering device for mounting a laser, which in one embodiment includes: at least one laser support for mounting the laser; a mount having a line receiving portion, the mount being connected to the at least one laser support; an elongated member having a first end and a second end, the first end being removably connected to a pole and the second end being pivotally connected to the mount; and a mount control line connected to the line receiving portion and extending towards the elongated member. The mount control line is manipulable to cause the mount to pivot relative to the elongated member. The laser lowering device allows a laser to be remotely lowered into a non-traditional manhole and inserted into pipes.

The invention relates to an expansion sleeve (10), the sleeve being configured to be arranged on an axle (110) to secure the axle in a hole (4), the sleeve comprising: a first and second section (20, 30) with a first and second outer diameter (D11, D2); wherein the first section has a conical shape with a tapering inner wall (22), and an outer wall (24) configured to abut an inner wall of the hole, the second section being configured to axially abut a fastening device (130) arranged at an end of the axle, wherein the second outer diameter is smaller than the first outer diameter, and wherein the second section comprises an inner wall (32) extending with an angle relative the axial direction (A) of the sleeve which is smaller than the angle (β) of the tapering inner wall of the first section.

The present disclosure discloses an operation panel for an imaging device and an imaging device thereof. The operation panel comprises: a panel body hinged to a connector through a pin shaft; a positioning system comprising a first ratchet wheel and a backstop, wherein the first ratchet wheel is sleeved on the pin shaft and coupled to the panel body, the backstop is arranged on the connector and configured to clamp the first ratchet wheel when the first ratchet wheel rotates reversely so as to position the first ratchet wheel, and the backstop is coupled to the connector and slides at least in a direction parallel to an axial direction of the pin shaft; and a driving system coupled to the backstop and configured to drive the backstop to slide at least in the direction parallel to the axial direction of the pin shaft.

The disclosure relates to a pivot axle arrangement for providing the two structural elements are pivotally movable in relation to each other. The pivot axle arrangement comprises a first and a second axle spindle for holding an outer axle, a first and a second bearing element and the outer axle. The outer axle is formed as a hollow cyclinder. An inner axle is concentrically arranged in a longitudinal direction inside of the outer axle such that the inner axle extends between said first and second axle spindle. The ends of the inner axle are fastened to the first and second axle spindles by a first and second fastening means such that the first and second axle spindles are interconnected via said inner axle.

The disclosure provides adjustable hinge fasteners and methods thereof, for securing a bidet washing apparatus to a toilet.
