A clip is rotatably coupled to the first vertical wire or the second vertical wire, where the clip includes a first defined opening for receiving the first or second vertical wire and a second opening configured for receiving a wire of the animal enclosure.
Fixing Means
The present invention relates to a fixing means for fastening a fixed rail of a slide rail comprising: the fixed rail coupled to a wire rack, which is coupled to a main body of a drawer assembly and comprises a plurality of vertical frames and a plurality of horizontal frames; and a movable rail which is slidably disposed on the fixed rail and to which the drawer assembly fastens, wherein the fixing means can provide: a first fixing clip provided on one side of the fixed rail and fastened to one side of the wire rack; and a second fixing clip provided on the other side of the fixed rail and fastened to the other side of the wire rack.
Clip device and method for retaining protective eyewear
Systems and methods for coupling a clip to a wearable item with a receiver. The methods involve: receiving the clip's latch structure in the receiver's channel; sliding the latch structure's side members against a channel surface; sliding the latch structure's latch body against the channel's opening edge; bending the latch body by biasing the latch body towards the latch structure's common body portion as the latch body slides against the edge; inserting the latch body and the side members through the channel until at least the free end of the latch body no longer resides in the channel, the latch body automatically unbending when the free end of the latch body no longer resides in the channel; and preventing at least the free end of the latch body from re-entering the channel such that the clip is coupled to the wearable item.
Valve assemblies incorporating solenoid clips and methods of assembling the same
Valve assemblies, clips adapted for use in valve assemblies, and methods of assembling valve assemblies are disclosed herein. A valve assembly includes a solenoid, a valve body, and a clip. The valve body is coupled to the solenoid and extends along a valve body axis. The valve body includes a first inner surface that defines an interior passage, a second inner surface that defines a groove in fluid communication with the interior passage, and a shoulder defined at an interface between the first inner surface and the second inner surface. The clip is coupled to the solenoid and the valve body.
Temperature probe for a cooktop appliance with a gas burner
A temperature probe for a cooktop appliance includes a resilient clip configured for mounting on a cooking utensil with a module connected to the resilient clip and a temperature sensor extending from the module along a longitudinal direction. The resilient clip may include a hook portion configured to engage a rim of the cooking utensil and an offset portion that is not parallel to the hook portion. The temperature probe may include an emitter and a receiver for non-contact measurement of a diameter of the cooking utensil.
Glove with clip
The glove with clip is a clip on the outside of the back of a glove having a spring loaded raised lip urged against the glove or a spring base on the glove to removably hold papers, notes, instructions or lightweight material such as sand paper. The clip may be a flat metal clip having a spring base on the glove, a spring wire attached to the glove or a magnetic closure adapted to releasably hold papers or similar material used by a worker such as a plumber or electrician.
Needle shield grip devices and related methods
A needle guard grip device may include a body extending from a first end to a second end along a central longitudinal axis of the body. The body may include a plurality of ribs extending perpendicularly to the central longitudinal axis. The plurality of ribs may include a first set of longitudinally spaced ribs disposed on a first side of the central longitudinal axis, and a second set of longitudinally spaced ribs disposed on a second side of the central longitudinal axis that is opposite of the first side. Moving along the central longitudinal axis, ribs of the first set of longitudinally spaced ribs may alternate with ribs of the second set of longitudinally spaced ribs.
Hidden fastener unit and related method of use
A fastener unit and related method for securing a board to a support is provided. The fastener unit includes a spacer block, a grip element extending from the spacer block and configured to fit in and engage a groove of the board, and one or more board engagement elements extending from a portion of the spacer block. The board engagement elements can clamp the board, between an upper and/or lower surface of the board and a groove of the board, thereby securing the spacer block in a position adjacent the groove to establish a gap between the board and another board. Related methods of use also are provided.
Securing means for screws, and mounting unit
The invention relates to a securing means for a screw having an annular sleeve for insertion in a through-hole in a workpiece, characterized in that the annular sleeve is provided with at least one plate-like resilient tongue which extends from the annular sleeve and which projects in the direction toward a longitudinal center axis of the sleeve.
