A clamping apparatus includes a carrier portion formed on a regularly shaped panel, where a track slot is formed in a length direction in the carrier portion; a movable unit, mounted at an end of the carrier portion and capable of being separated from the carrier portion along a length direction of the track slot; and a clamping unit, mounted on a movable unit and configured to prevent, in at least four directions, a clamped object from being separated from the carrier portion. The problem that a size range of clamped objects applicable to the clamping apparatus is limited. The clamping unit is configured to prevent, in the at least four directions, the clamped object from being separated from the carrier portion, effectively preventing the clamped object from being separated from the carrier portion and allowing the clamped object to be protected even in a complex environment.

A mounting system that includes a second frame assembly movable relative to a first frame assembly and including a first and second hooks that engage/disengage first and second openings of the first frame assembly to secure the mounting system in a position; first and second release members configured to move the first and second hooks, respectively, to engage/disengage the associated opening upon movement of the release member; and a linkage assembly configured to communicate movement of one release member to move the other release member. The linkage assembly including a first link member operatively coupled to the first release member, a second link member operatively coupled to the second release member, and a third link member coupled to the first and second link members, such that movement of one of the first and second link members moves the other of the first and second link members.

A monopod includes an elongated housing and a pneumatic actuator having a cylinder bounding a compartment in which a pressurized fluid and/or gas is contained, and an elongated piston having a piston head mounted in the compartment and a piston rod movable along a longitudinal axis through an upper open end of the housing when the pressurized fluid is released. A support for a portable device, such as a camera, is mounted on the piston rod exteriorly of the housing. A foot-operated control is mounted on the housing adjacent its base. The control is movable by pressure exerted by a user's foot to a control position in which the pressurized fluid and/or gas is released to jointly move the piston rod and the support to an adjustable elevation relative to the base.

A method for displacing a ceiling formwork for a nearest concreting section, wherein first and second supporting devices for supporting the ceiling formwork are arranged below the nearest concreting section. Said supporting devices each have a shuttering position and a stripping position, wherein the ceiling formwork is raised to a concreting level in the shuttering position and lowered relative to the concreting level in the stripping position. The first supporting device is moved into the stripping position and the second supporting device is moved into the shuttering position, and a collision protection element is arranged between the second supporting device and an end face of the ceiling formwork when the end face of the ceiling formwork strikes the second supporting device after passing over the first supporting device, so the collision protection element forms a flank rising in the displacement direction for guiding the ceiling formwork in the displacement direction.

A lowering system for lowering ceiling formworks during the removal of formworks of a building ceiling, comprising a reciprocating piston and a support base, and a locking device, wherein the reciprocating piston is slidably mounted in the support base, and can be pushed from an extended working position to a lowered position, and can be locked in the extended position by means of the locking device. The locking device has a pivot bearing and an eccentric lever, wherein the eccentric lever is rotatably mounted in the pivot bearing, and the reciprocating piston and the support base are supported against each other in the working position by means of the eccentric lever.

An arm-based sit-stand workstation is disclosed in which a height-position of the attached workstation portion is adjustable via adjustment of the position of the articulating arm. The workstation comprises a release mechanism that allows the workstation to be locked in a non-adjustable height configuration and also be placed in an unlocked configuration in which a height position of the workstation portion can be adjusted without constant user actuation of the release mechanism during adjustment.

Presented herein are gaming systems, electronic gaming machines, and mounting bracket assemblies for mounting display assemblies to gaming cabinets. An electronic gaming machine is disclosed which includes a gaming cabinet and an electronic display assembly with one or more video display panels mounted to a display housing. Each video display panel displays aspects of a wagering game. A mounting bracket assembly includes a first bracket attached to the display housing (or gaming cabinet), and a second bracket attached to the gaming cabinet (or display housing). The first bracket includes a connecting plate with one or more ramped channels and a stopping member. The second bracket includes a connecting plate with one or more ramped rails and a stopping member. The display assembly is mounted onto the cabinet by sliding each ramped rail of the first bracket into a respective ramped channel of the second bracket and mating the stopping members.

A width-adjustable support stand has two leg pairs, each composed of two legs interconnected by a length-adjustable cross-rail. Each cross-rail features a pair of rail stubs that are attached to inner sides of the two legs and are telescopically received in hollow cavities of a rail hub at opposing ends thereof. Each rail stub has a pair of slide guides engaged with corresponding slide guides on opposing internal walls of the respective hollow cavity, and also has upper and lower tongues riding in top and bottom slots of the rail hub between in-turned flanges thereof. To lock each leg pair at user-selected width, a lock slot in each rail stub is penetrated by a lock fastener that engages opposing sidewalls of the rail hub on opposite sides of the rail stub, so that tightening of the fastener clamps the rail stub firmly between the sidewalls of the rail hub.

A mounting bracket includes a bracket body, a locking assembly and support foot. The bracket body is configured for component installation. The locking assembly is arranged on the bracket body, and the support foot is arranged on the bracket body. The support foot is slide along the up and down direction of the bracket body, and the locking assembly is configured to lock the support foot at a preset position. Through the above structure, the support foot is installed on the ground and used to support the bracket body, and the locking assembly locks the support foot at a preset position to correspondingly adjust the height of the bracket body from the ground, so as to adjust the suspension height of the components installed on the bracket body.

The application concerns a module (1, 1, 1) for positioning and orienting an object (28), comprising a carrier (2) comprising one or several stops (3, 3, 8); a platform (4) configured to hold the object (28), the platform (4) comprising one or several positioning elements (6, 6, 8), wherein the platform (4) is movably attached or attachable to the carrier (2), the carrier (2) constraining the platform (4) in at least one degree of freedom, and the platform (4) is selectively movable into any one of a plurality of discrete positions with respect to the carrier (2), each of the plurality of discrete positions defined by at least one of the one or several positioning elements (6, 6, 8) engaging with a corresponding one of the one or several stops (3, 3, 8); a movement mechanism (13) configured to translate and/or rotate the platform (4) with respect to the carrier (2) such as to move the platform (4) into any selected one of the plurality of discrete positions. The application further concerns a system (22) comprising such a module (1, 1, 1), as well as a use of such a module (1, 1, 1) and a method for measuring inertial properties of an object (28).
