An interconnect system for coupling first and second frame members includes female and male interconnect members. The female interconnect is secured to the first frame member and has defined therein a receptacle. The male interconnect member is secured to the second frame member and defines a protrusion configured for selective axial insertion into, and mating engagement with, the receptacle. The receptacle extends axially between a receptacle opening through which the protrusion is axially received and a receptacle rear wall at which the receptacle terminates. The protrusion terminates at a protrusion tip. The receptacle and protrusion are furthermore configured such that at least one of (a) the receptacle and the protrusion are complementarily keyed in order to prevent relative rotational displacement of the male and female interconnect members when they are in mutual mating engagement, and (b) the protrusion tip is magnetically attracted toward the receptacle rear wall.

A connection device for an exhaust gas turbocharger includes an essentially bent first element and an essentially bent second element. The first element has a radially extending first clamping arm in a first end region and the second element has a radially extending second clamping arm in the first end region opposite the first clamping arm. The first element is movably connected with the second element in a second end region. The first clamping arm and the second clamping arm may be movably connected by a first connecting element of the connection device. The first element comprises a first supporting portion and the second element comprises a second supporting portion between the two end regions. A stiffening element is formed in a transition region between the clamping arm and the supporting portion for increasing the strength of the connection device.

The invention relates to a playground comprising a number of pillars of a circular cross sectional area, and a series of playground elements including floor panels and side panels, and a series of brackets for attachment of the playground elements to the pillars. The brackets comprise an element coupling portion adapted to be fastened to a playground element and a pillar coupling portion adapted to be fastened to a side portion of a pillar. Here, the pillar coupling portion comprising a contact face curved to lie against pillar and a boring for receiving a fastening member which is oriented such that the bracket when fastened to the pillar is attached by the fastening member inserted from the bracket and into the pillar in a radial direction of the pillar. The series of brackets comprises brackets with element coupling portions adapted to be fastened to each of the playground elements in the series of playground elements, and all the brackets in the series comprise essentially identical pillar coupling portions such that all the brackets are adapted to be attached to the pillars in the same way. The invention also relates to a method of assembling such a playground. The series of playground elements may include floor panels, side panels, a series of bars of predefined diameters and chains.

A rail system. The rail system includes an upper rail member, a lower rail member and a plurality of balusters. The upper rail member, lower rail member and balusters secure together and to a support structure to form the rail system. The support structure may include columns, newels, walls and the like. The upper and lower rail members each include a cap that snaps onto a rail support. Fasteners may fasten the balusters directly to an upper rail support. Fasteners may further fasten the balusters directly to a lower cap.

It is described herein an adjustable rigid clip assembly comprising an anchor plate joined with a connector plate and a slide plate. The anchor plate is joined with the connector plate at a juncture having a juncture angle between the anchor plate and the connector plate in a range of between 0 and less than 180. The connector plate comprises at least one connector plate slot and at least one connector plate lock. The slide plate may comprise at least one slide plate lock. The at least one slide plate lock may be engaged with the at least one connector plate lock. The slide plate may further comprise at least one slide plate tab passing from the slide plate through the at least one connector plate slot.

It is described herein a bridge clip comprising a web, a first flange, and a second flange. The web having a web first edge substantially parallel to a web axis, and a web second edge substantially parallel to the web axis. The first flange extends from the web first edge while the second flange extends from the web second edge. Each of the flanges comprises a tab having a vertical tab having a vertical tab face in a vertical tab plane substantially perpendicular to the web axis and oriented in a vertical tab face direction substantially parallel to the web axis. The first vertical tab face direction opposes the second vertical tab face direction. It is also described that there is a positive distance value between the first vertical tab face and the second vertical tab face.

A coupling member includes: first, second, and third portions each having a flat plate-like shape; and a fillet portion. The first portion has a first side and a second side orthogonal to each other. The second portion is bent at the first side relative to the first portion, and extends to an inner surface of the first portion. The third portion is bent at the second side relative to the first portion, and extends to an inner surface of the first portion. A bend radius of an outer surface of the coupling member at the first side is equal to a bend radius of a surface of a first extending member facing the first side. A bend radius of an outer surface of the coupling member at the second side is equal to a bend radius of a surface of a second extending member facing the second side.

It is described herein an adjustable rigid clip assembly comprising an anchor plate joined with a connector plate and a slide plate. The anchor plate is joined with the connector plate at a juncture having a juncture angle between the anchor plate and the connector plate in a range of between 0 and less than 180. The connector plate comprises at least one connector plate slot and at least one connector plate lock. The slide plate may comprise at least one slide plate lock. The at least one slide plate lock may be engaged with the at least one connector plate lock.

A connecting structure, which is located between a first object and a second object, includes a first engaging member and a second engaging member located between the first engaging member and the first object. The first engaging member is located between the second engaging member and the second object. The second engaging member has a thickness. When a distance between the first engaging member and the first object is less than or equal to said thickness, the first engaging member and the second engaging member are not movable relative to each other. When said distance is greater than said thickness, the first engaging member and the second engaging member can be moved in a direction relative to each other, moving the first object and the second object relative to each other as well. A covering device for an opening of a building is also disclosed, which includes said connecting structure.
