A precision adjustment fastener mechanism comprises a base, a platform, and a locking push-pull fastener assembly. The base has a first aperture and the platform has a second aperture. The fastener assembly is disposed within the second aperture. The fastener assembly comprises a clamping fastener having a portion positioned in the first aperture, a sleeve having a third aperture extending along an axis of the sleeve. The clamping fastener is positioned within the third aperture. The sleeve comprises a first portion moveable relative to a second portion along the axis. The first portion and the second portion each comprise outer threads. An axial displacement portion separates the first and second portions and transmits a torque between the first and second portions. The axial displacement portion facilitates movement of the first and second portions to bind threads of the first and second portions with the threads of the platform.

In various representative aspects, an assembly for securing a solar panel rail and rail-less support structures to a shingle roof. More specifically, the apparatus includes a connection bracket and flashing device for use in installing solar panel rail support structures. The connection bracket is secured to the flashing device by placing it over various embodiments of a cone element that is embedded within the flashing and secured using a tightening mechanism such as a bolt, screw, or other fastener. A solar panel rail support guide can be connected to a generally U-shaped connection on the top of the bracket. The apparatus also offers an improved means to cover the penetration point on the flashing to protect it and prevent water from leaking into the roof as well as an improved way to install the apparatus over existing products. Various embodiments of the bracket and flashing provided as well.

A device for compensating for tolerances between two components to be connected to one another may have a hollow-cylindrical base element. The device may also have a hollow-cylindrical compensating element which comes into a first threaded engagement with the base element. The device may also have a connecting element extending through a first cavity of the device for connecting the two components. The connecting element comes into a second threaded engagement with one of the components and/or a first nut element. A second nut element is arranged in a recess of the compensating element in such a way that it comes into a third thread engagement with the connecting element. When the connecting element is screwed into one of the components and/or into the first nut element, the second nut element, at least in portions, is axially movable independently of the compensating element and relative thereto.

A device for compensating for tolerances between two components to be connected to one another may have a hollow cylindrical base element. The base may also have a hollow cylindrical compensating element which is in thread engagement with the base element and which can be moved out of an initial position into a compensating position by rotation relative to the base element. The device may also have a connecting element extending at least through a first cavity of the device for connecting the two components. The first cavity may have an inner contour in cross section and the connecting element may have an outer contour in cross section. The inner contour may differ from the outer contour in such a way that when the inner contour and the outer contour are oriented concentrically at least one radial overhang is present.

A module for a vacuum pumping and/or abatement system. The module comprises a frame defining a space, a plurality of facilities inputs configured to receive facilities from a facilities supply, a plurality of facilities outputs configured to output the received facilities out of the module, and a plurality of facilities connection lines located at least partially within the space defined by the frame. The plurality of facilities connection lines connect the facilities inputs to the facilities outputs. The module further comprises a controller configured to control supply of facilities received at the facilities inputs out of the facilities outputs; and control operation of one or more vacuum pumping and/or abatement apparatuses remote from the module.

A tolerance compensation arrangement for fastening first and second components with automatic or self-acting compensation of tolerances in the spacing between the components. The arrangement includes a base element having first and second metal elements with inner threads. An adjustment unit includes a threaded sleeve with an outer thread and a dragging unit at least partially arranged in the threaded sleeve. The outer thread forms a first thread pairing of a first thread direction with the inner thread of the first metal element. A fastening screw can be screwed into the inner thread of the second metal element via a second thread pairing of a second thread direction opposite to the first thread direction. The fastening screw can be connected to the adjustment unit via the dragging unit so that, during the rotation of the fastening screw, the adjustment unit co-rotates and is moved into abutment with the first component.

The present disclosure relates to a tolerance compensation device for bridging a distance between two components to be connected to one another, comprising a base element and a compensating element which can be screwed into the base element, the base element forming at least one stop and the compensating element having at least one elastically deformable transport securing means which is designed in such a way that it must overcome the stop with temporary deformation in order to screw the compensating element into the base element.

A connecting mechanism is provided, including a first member, a second member, a first connecting element, a second connecting element, a resilient element, and a ball-shaped element. The first connecting element is connected to the second member. The first connecting element has an opening. The second connecting element is disposed in the first connecting element. The resilient element is connected between the second member and the second connecting element. When the first member moves to a joining position relative to the second member, a column of the first member extends through the opening, and the ball-shaped element is clamped between the first connecting element, the second connecting element and a recess of the column.

The present invention relates to a plastics housing device for indirect screw connection for a motor vehicle, wherein the plastics housing device comprises: at least one positioning element; a clamping element; and a screw element; wherein the at least one positioning element is configured to hold the clamping element in position in form-fitting fashion; wherein the screw element is configured to be pressed against the clamping element by the at least one positioning element and thereby cause a rotation of the clamping element; wherein the clamping element is configured to clamp the plastics housing device to a metal panel by way of the rotation.

The invention relates to a method for installing a piece of home automation equipment, and to a system for adjustably attaching a piece of home automation equipment to a wall, comprising at least two supports (1), each one comprising a support shaft and a holding device, and at least two adjustable attaching elements. The adjustable attaching elements each comprise a supporting frame (2) and a mechanical connection element (3). The adjustable attaching elements also comprise a locking device.
