Animal crate assembly
A crate assembly includes a plurality of members defining an interior of the crate assembly, where the plurality of members includes a front, a back, a top, a bottom, a first side and a second side. A frame is formed in one of the plurality of members, the frame having a plurality of interconnected horizontal and vertical wires that define a door opening. A door is pivotally coupled to the frame about a pivot wire of the frame to move between an open position and a closed position. A latch assembly is pivotally coupled to a horizontal wire of the frame. The latch assembly includes a wire having a first end, a second end and a transverse portion, the wire forming a first portion defined between the first end and the transverse portion and a second portion defined between the second end and the transverse portion.
Sock anchor unit
A sock anchor unit (10) comprises an inner longitudinal hollow spine (12), an outer fabric sleeve (14) arranged to envelop the outside surface of the inner hollow spine (12) such that a gap is defined between the outside surface of the inner hollow spine (12) and an inner surface of the outer fabric sleeve (14) and a plurality of elongated reinforcing members (22), wherein each elongated reinforcing member (22) extends longitudinally within the gap. The inner hollow spine (12) comprises at least one substantially laterally extending opening from inside to outside of the inner hollow spine (12). The opening allows cementitious fluid which is pumped into the anchor unit to fill the gap between the hollow spine (12) and outer fabric sleeve. A fastening member (28, 32) is provided on each end of the sock anchor unit (10). Both fastening members (28, 32) are compatible with each other and each fastening member (28, 32) is configured such that a trailing end of a first sock anchor unit (10) is attachable to a leading end of a second sock anchor unit (10) thereby facilitating creating a multiple piece sock anchor system of a desired length.
Device for dismountably connecting two intersecting formwork beams
The invention relates to a device for dismountably connecting two intersecting formwork beams, which comprises a single-component elastic structure with two arms joining together respective areas for pressing the two beams together in support areas, and which can longitudinally slide over one of the beams until it reaches the other beam, the device being elastically deformed by means of pressure or impact thereon, so as to clamp or hold both beams and press them together.
CLIP HOLDER FOR OUTDOOR LIGHTS
A round or rectangular clip assembly that utilizes torsion tension spring loops, formed from the flexible material. The clip forms a tongue segment on one side of the torsion tension spring loops, and multiple extension members on the second side.
The spring loop is configured to pushes the tongue segment toward the substantially parallel surface formed on each extension member, and can hold a light bulb or a light socket inbetween. The clip also includes additional torsion three-quarter rounded tension spring loop, which can be rounded for holding a wire or an extension cord, or rectangular, for attaching to a rectangular fixture.
Nut element installation tool and method for installing a nut plate assembly
A nut element installation tool includes a holder for a nut element and retaining clip and a shaft coupled to the holder. The holder includes an upper plate, a lower plate and a shuttle movable between an extended position and a released position. The shuttle has a pocket configured to receive the nut element and the retaining clip. The retaining clip is compressed and held in a compressed state in the pocket until the shuttle is moved to the released position when the retaining clip is free to move to an expanded state in a nut plate basket to retain the nut element in the nut plate basket. The shaft is releasably coupled to the shuttle and holds the shuttle in the extended position.
STEERING COLUMN DEVICE
An inner column is adjustable (movable) relative to an outer column in a vehicle body front-rear direction. Multiple wire insertion holes are provided in a wire locking member attached to a lower portion of the inner column. Inserting a wire insertion portion of the wire member into one of the wire insertion holes from each of the left and right sides restricts movement of the inner column relative to the outer column and the locked mechanism is set to a locked state. Operating an operation lever to turn a turning shaft turns and moves a cam portion on an outer peripheral portion of the turning shaft integrally with the operation lever. In this case, left and right tilted surfaces of the cam portion expands the wire member to the left and right and causes the wire insertion portions to disengage from the wire insertion holes to unlock the lock mechanism.
Torque button lock clip
A clip for coupling a torque plate to an end plate of a disk brake system in accordance with various embodiments includes an inner portion having two parallel elongate members. The clip further includes an outer portion at least partially including a rounded portion that is located outward from the inner portion and has a raised end, wherein the inner portion is entirely in a same plane as the rounded portion of the outer portion, and wherein the raised end extends away from the rounded portion.
FASTENING SYSTEM
The invention relates to a device for holding a head of a pin of a component, said device having a receiving space which defines an opening via which the head of the pin can be inserted; a spring element disposed in the receiving space; and a path limiter which is disposed in the receiving space. The spring element has a receptacle for the head of the pin of the component, and the straight line which connects the geometric center point of the opening to the geometric center point of the receptacle forms a reference line. A curved or bent receiving section of a spring arm of the spring element is provided as part of the receptacle. The receiving section has at least one distance point which is arranged furthest from the reference line than other points along the extension of the curved or bent receiving section.
Clip for use with a cooking device
In one aspect, a device can include a clip member including a first end and a second end. The first end can be configured to attach to cooking device and the second end can be configured to engage a handle member of the cooking device. The clip member can be configured to be positioned in a handle position where the clip member can be configured to hold the handle member in a substantially fixed position relative to the cooking device when in the handle position.
Spring connection element
The present disclosure describes a spring connection element, by means of which at least two components can be connected to each other by means of a claw-fit in at least one component opening. The spring connection element is characterized by the following features: a spiral spring-like wire coil with a first and a second end, said coil comprising a plurality of axially spaced windings, a spiral collar which extends radially beyond a circumference of the wire coil and which is arranged at the first end of the wire coil, and a central traction element protruding radially into the wire coil, which is arranged at the second end of the wire coil, which does not extend axially beyond the wire coil, and by means of which the spring connection element can be pulled into a component opening substantially rotation-free.
