In some examples, an apparatus can include a base plate, a plurality of support platforms connected to the base plate, where each of the plurality of support platforms include an attachment plate to connect each support platform to the base plate, a spring plate, and a flange, and a cam to interface with the base plate, where the plurality of support platforms are to radially translate with respect to an axis of the base plate when the cam is rotated.

The present invention discloses a telescopic rod connector, which includes an outer sleeve, an inner sleeve and a screw rod. The screw rod has opposite a first end and a second end, and a rod body between them. The inner sleeve sleeves on the rod body and can rotate and slide along it, and the inner sleeve is provided with positioning convex strips. The outer sleeve includes a notch ring and a plurality of outer arc members extending from the notch ring. U-shaped notches are arranged between adjacent two the outer arc members; the outer sleeve is arranged on the outside of the inner sleeve and the notch ring is close to the first end, and the positioning convex strips are inserted into the U-shaped notches. The outer sleeve is rotated to drive the inner sleeve to slide along the rod body.

An outdoor appliance has a support frame with multiple inner lining tubes that are sequentially connected end to end by flexible ropes and multiple outer sleeve tubes that are slidable on the outer surfaces of the inner lining tubes. The outer sleeve tube and the inner lining tube at the head end of the support frame are respectively connected to an elastic member. When the support frame is in a locked state, each inner lining tube is located between and supports two abutting adjacent outer sleeve tubes. When the support frame is in an unlocked state, each inner lining tube is moved out of one outer sleeve tube and into the next successively (e.g., longitudinal) axially adjacent outer sleeve tube against the force of the elastic member such that the radial support between adjacent outer sleeve tubes is eliminated thereby allowing the support frame to be folded.

A storage container includes: a frame defining a storage space, the frame including a plurality of lower poles extending in a first direction at a bottom of the storage container, a plurality of first side poles coupled to the plurality of lower poles and extending in a second direction crossing the first direction, a plurality of second side poles coupled to the plurality of lower poles and extending in the second direction, a plurality of second upper poles coupled to the plurality of first side poles and the plurality of second side poles, and a plurality of first upper poles coupled to the plurality of second upper poles and the plurality of first side poles; a base around the frame and defining an opening; a top attached to the base; and a support member attached to the frame and connected between adjacent ones of the plurality of first upper poles.

The present disclosure provides a clamp for attaching or detaching a medical shaver, in which the clamp is provided for attaching and detaching a suction tube (30) detachably coupled to and rotated together with a shaft (20) rotated in a shaver body, and includes: a body; a detachment groove (120) formed in a direction perpendicular to a longitudinal direction on a front surface of the body; a detachment slit (125) formed in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction on an upper surface of the body to communicate with the detachment groove; and an attachment groove (145) formed along the longitudinal direction at a center of a right side surface of the body.

A post coupler expands laterally. The post coupler includes a first member that is hollow and has a first slanted face. A second member is also hollow and has a second slanted face that is abutted with the first slanted face. A rod extends through the first and second members; the rod has a head that is disposed at a head end and threads disposed at a thread end. A nut is engaged with the threads, and rotating the nut causes the first member to extend in a first lateral direction and causes the second cylindrical member to extend in a second lateral direction opposite the first lateral direction.

A splice having a main body and one or more protrusions extending from the main body. The one or more protrusions can be operable to interfere with a rail when the main body is installed into an opening of the rail. The one or more protrusions may be operable to cut into a coating of the rail and form an electrical connection between the rail and the main body.

A coupling including a female part attached to one of two items, and a male part attached to the other. The female part has a projection extending only on one side of a plane parallel to a first axis of rotation and away from the end of a circular cylindrical hole and forming a segment of an inner surface. The tap of the male part includes a circular cylindrical proximal end. A groove is arranged in one, and a flange is arranged on the other one of the circular cylindrical inner surface and the proximal end, and the flange and groove are adapted such that the flange can slide in the groove about the first axis of rotation, when the tap is rotated in the hole. The distal end of the tap, in the direction along a second axis of rotation, is longer on one side of the second axis of rotation than on the opposite side.

A device is mounted to the end of a log so that a skid steer may use the log to engage a tree targeted for felling. The device may include any number of implements configured for engaging the target tree to be felled in such a way that the implement will not “slip” up the tree or off the tree, thereby giving the operator of the heavy equipment some level of control over the target tree. In some applications, the operator of the heavy equipment may simply use the device to push the target tree over such that the root ball of the target tree rises up out of the ground as the target tree is felled. In other applications, an operator may make cuts to the target tree before the heavy equipment pushes the tree with the device implement in the desired direction of fell.

The present invention proposes a solution for anchoring systems, which can be applied to connect a robotic system with its power supply structure (for example, umbilical cables), or then separate the same into several modules, each containing a pair of anchors.

The objective is achieved when the sleeve (4) is tensioned, by pulling the ring against its stop and, thus, performing a self-locking. The self-locking occurs because the friction force generated at the lace interface is greater than the sleeve tensioning force. Also, allied to this, so that there is an initial friction force, the mesh is tightened by threading the stop of the conventional ring in the house of the conventional ring.

The proposed solution takes up little space for the anchoring system, and can be applied in pipes of reduced internal diameter, still being a robust tension anchoring solution. It can be applied to any part of the robot and as many times as necessary, not being limited to the connection with the umbilical.
