CONNECTION DEVICE FOR MOBILE FRAME STRUCTURES
A connection device for mobile frame structures includes a bracket on a surface having a cam shaft and a cam lock has a spiral axial slot having a locking groove and a central cam groove. A cam follower, a spring and a force stop are positioned in the central cam groove. A retention device holds the components in the cam groove. A structural support is engaged to the cam lock. An intersection between the spiral axial slot and the central cam groove has one or more detents which engage the cam follower prior to engagement of the cam lock to the bracket. The cam shaft is positioned in the spiral axial slot and the cam lock is rotated moving the cam shaft into the locking groove and depressing the cam follower relative to the spring to lock the cam shaft into the locking groove.
Handheld misting device with pressure-relieving handle
A misting device has a form factor that allows the device to be handheld. The device includes a fluid tank that can be pressurized to force the contained fluid under pressure through a fluid delivery system. A hand-operated pump injects air into the fluid tank to pressurize the fluid tank. The pump includes a pump handle located at the bottom of the tank at one end of a rod, and a piston at the other end of the rod. A pressure-relieving air channel extends through the piston, the rod, and the pump handle to emit air out of the pump and into the environment when the fluid tank is at a maximum pressure.
Lock
Provided is a lock, including a locking module and a driving module. The locking module includes a latch mounted on a first main body, an oblique pin ring gear mounted on a second main body and adapted to the latch. A radial thickness of the oblique pin ring gear changes continuously. A first slot is arranged on the latch. The driving module is used for driving the oblique pin ring gear to move in a circular motion, such that on the latch in a closed position the oblique pin ring gear clips to or separates from the first slot. The lock mechanism can realize inward or outward arcuate connection and planar connecting without finishing.
Laterally adjustable hooks
Laterally adjustable hooks may be used to join two or more substantially planar parts, such as two halves of a splitboard. In an embodiment, a laterally adjustable hook comprises a unitary body having a top surface, a bottom surface, a main portion and a nose portion, with the main portion comprising at least one oblong, beveled slot and the nose portion extending from an end of the main portion. A screw or wedge nut may be used to apply pressure to edges of the oblong, beveled slot, and a pair of set screws may contact and laterally secure the wedge nut.
Coupling member and coupling system, and a method for coupling two modules with each other, and an aircraft
A coupling member for coupling modules with each other. The coupling member comprises a coupling portion, which in turn has a coupling rim and at least two hook members disposed on the coupling rim. The coupling portion substantially corresponds in its outer contour to a spherical segment of a sphere with a predetermined spherical radius, wherein the coupling rim represents a circular disk of the spherical segment. In this case, an outer radius of the coupling rim is smaller than or equal to the spherical radius. The at least two hook members, in a lateral view, at least partially follow the outer contour of the spherical cap of the spherical segment. The at least two hook members are engageable with the hook members of a coupling portion of a second coupling member.
MODULAR MULTI-CONTAINER HOUSING STRUCTURE, MULTI-CONTAINER INTERLOCK, AND METHODS FOR MANUFACTURE OF SAME
A modular multi-container housing structure connector for containers, which each have sides including a roof, a floor, and four lateral sides, includes a connector frame comprising vertical and horizontal struts shaped to connect to at least one of the sides of two adjacent containers and at least one interlock configured to secure the connector frame to the side of one container. The at least one interlock may be a plurality of interlocks. The connector frame may comprise two vertical struts and two horizontal struts each shaped and configured to connect to a respective edge of an adjacent side of two adjacent containers and, responsive to the connector frame being connected to two adjacent sides of two adjacent containers by the plurality of interlocks, the connector frame and interlocks form a container-to-connector frame-to-container connection to establish a weather-tight housing structure with the two or multiple connected containers.
MAGNETIC AND MECHANICAL INTEGRATED ANCHORAGE DEVICE
An integrated magnetic and mechanical device for anchoring structural elements of an assembly. The device comprises a first and a second junction element partially or totally made of ferromagnetic material, which can be connected to respective structural elements of the assembly, and at least one magnetic core having end anchoring faces each provided with at least one magnetic pole, in which the magnetic core extends along a longitudinal axis and anchors to bottom walls of the junction elements. The junction elements and the magnetic core are also configured themselves, or provided with mechanical interconnection members so as to increase, in combination with the magnetic anchorage, the resistance to external stresses and to prevent any relative movement between the junction elements in an assembled condition.
Retainers with movable hooks
In an example, a retainer may include a post to insertably engage with a post receptacle on a system board, and a hook hingeably attached to the post. The hook may be movable from a first position, lateral to a longitudinal axis of the post, to a second position aligned with the longitudinal axis of the post. In some implementations, the hook may be spaced from a top surface of the post when disposed in the second position so as to receive a portion of an expansion component between the hook and the post when the hook is disposed in the second position.
Connecting device and method for connecting two parts
A connecting device is provided including one or more connecting elements arranged on at least one connectable part. At least one connecting element includes non-self-cutting retaining projections having a curved supporting surface in the form of an arc of a circle in longitudinal section. A groove is provided in one of the connectable parts, the groove having a curved undercut surface in the form of an arc of a circle in longitudinal section and including a base section and two undercut sections which extend away from the base section in a thickness direction. The retaining projections are engageable with the undercut sections of the groove. One or more connecting elements include or are in the form of one or more screw elements, and one or more connecting elements include one or more moveable retaining elements by means of which the parts can be drawn towards and/or pressed against each other.
PET CAGE
The pet cage includes a base, a top net plate and a plurality of side net plates, wherein the side net plates are sequentially connected end to end to form a fence space, the bottom of the fence space is connected with the base, and the top of the fence space is connected with the top net plate; a connecting structures for connecting adjacent side net plates with each other are arranged between the adjacent side net plates, and the connecting structure includes a clamping hook arranged on one side net plate and a clamping tongue arranged on the other side net plate for clamping and locking the clamping hook. Therefore, the invention has the advantages of simple manufacturing process, quick and convenient installation, high connection strength, safety and reliability.
