An actuated shear pin includes an actuator and pin body coupled to the actuator. The actuator selectively configures the pin body in a locking configuration or a stowed configuration. In the locking configuration, the pin body is placed in a travel path of two components configured to move relative to each other, to inhibit such relative movement. In the stowed configuration, the pin body is out of the travel path, thereby allowing the two components to move relative to each other.

A rod mechanism for a garden tool having a main body includes a first rod pivotally connected to the main body and movable between an in-use position and a storage position. A locking component engages the main body to lock the first rod in one of the in-use position and the storage position. An actuator moves between a released position and a triggered position, the actuator when in the triggered position unlocking the locking component from the main body, the actuator when in the released position orienting the locking component so as to be lockable to the main body. A second rod connected to the first rod moves to a preset position allowing the actuator to move to one of the triggered position or the released position. A position sensor on the main body generates a sensing signal when the first rod pivots to at least one of the in-use position and the storage position.

Tooling for clocking dual eccentric bushings of a clevis so that the clevis and a lug can be pinned together, comprises a pin and a sleeve. The pin comprises a pin cylindrical portion, a plate-engagement portion, and a stop surface. The sleeve comprises a sleeve cylindrical outer surface and a sleeve interior channel that has an interior-channel central axis, which is parallel to and offset from a sleeve-cylindrical-outer-surface central axis. The pin cylindrical portion is configured to be received by the sleeve interior channel with a slip fit. The tooling further comprises a squaring plate that comprises a squaring-plate abutment surface, configured to contact the stop surface, and a squaring-plate opening configured to receive the plate-engagement portion of the pin with a slip fit.

The description relates to hinged devices, such as hinged computing devices. One example can include first and second portions that rotate around a hinge shaft that is fixedly secured to the first portion and rotationally secured to the second portion. The second portion defining a first contact surface spaced apart from a second contact surface. Multiple friction clips friction fit around the hinge shaft and rotating with the hinge shaft between the first contact surface and the second contact surface.

Mounting system, assemblies, and devices are shown and described. In one embodiment, a device to secure a fixture about an off-axis adjustment includes a lower knuckle having a plurality of sunken interior teeth, a distal attachment portion, and a threaded fastener aperture; an upper knuckle having a plurality of raised exterior teeth and a distal attachment portion; and a locking fastener to prevent rotation of the lower knuckle about the upper knuckle. The result is an assembly substantially rotational in a nonengaged position, and fixedly aligned in a coupled position.

A rotation shaft assembly includes first and second rotation shafts configured to be connected to first and second bodies, respectively, a synchronization mechanism disposed between and transmissively connected to the first and second rotation shafts, and a control mechanism including first and second followers sleeved at the first and second rotation shaft, respectively, and a lock member disposed between the first and second rotation shafts. In a first state of the first and second bodies flipping relative to each other, the lock member interacts with the first or second follower to fix the first or second rotation shaft. In a second state of the first and second bodies flipping relative to each other, action of the lock member on the first and second followers is released, and the first and second rotation shafts rotate synchronously through the synchronization mechanism.
