Coupling structure for resin parts, and method of manufacturing same
A resin parts coupling structure includes first and second resin members, e.g., parts of a motorcycle body. The first member includes a first projected portion projected inwardly from a flat surface portion of the vehicle body. The second member includes a second projected portion engaged with and thereby coupled to the first projected portion. The first projected portion includes a hollow space formed between an inside surface of the first projected portion and the flat surface portion, an engagement hole communicating between the hollow space and the flat surface portion, and a first receiving portion disposed away from the engagement hole. The second projected portion includes a second receiving portion which contacts the first receiving portion, and a claw portion which extends outwardly of the second receiving portion and securely engages the engagement hole.
LIFT GATE AND MOUNTING CORRECTION SYSTEM
Systems, methods, and devices for correcting a mounting system for mounting a lift gate on a structure, the lift gate having a lift platform supported between a pair of spaced support columns, the correction system including: a first mounting member configured for attachment onto the structure; a first lift gate support column configured for attachment onto the first mounting member; a first correction mechanism configured to couple with a first support block, where the first correction mechanism creates a force between the first lift gate support column and the first mounting member when engaged, resulting in a first corrective gap forming between the first lift gate support column and the first mounting member; and where the resulting corrective gap orients the first lift gate support column to be substantially parallel with a plane parallel to a rear of the structure such that the lift gate platform can be operated.
Patterned conductive ink film absorber for a foldable transportable shelter
Disclosed is a thin-film radio frequency absorber material that is mass-produced by a high-speed manufacturing method of printing a highly controlled pattern of conductive ink squares onto a thin roll film, resulting in a lightweight low-cost radio frequency absorber component that is flexible for use in multiple novel configurations. The roll film material and printed squares are each easily adjustable to a specific size and thickness within the manufacturing process to coincide with control and protections related to variable specific radio and radar wave frequencies. Further integration into the three-layered thin-profile radio frequency energy absorber and reflector assembly provides control and protection properties related to radio and radar frequency, infrared, electromagnetic pulse, electromagnetic interference, and thermal insulation values in structural building panels utilized in lightweight structures such as the foldable transportable structure or other types of building and protection assemblies.
NESTED CANTED COIL SPRINGS, APPLICATIONS THEREOF, AND RELATED METHODS
A spring assembly having at least two canted coil spring lengths nested together are disclosed. Two sections of coils of a canted coil spring length can each be positioned between two adjacent coils of another canted coil spring. Each section of the coils of the canted coil spring length includes at least one coil and up to several coils or a plurality of coils. The canted coil spring lengths are nested together to increase the deflection force of the overall spring assembly. The spring assembly having two or more nested spring lengths can be used in connector applications.
COMPOSED ELEMENT AND REAR WALL CONSTRUCTION APPLIED HEREWITH
A composed element, such as a piece of furniture, wherein the composed element comprises at least a rear wall, as well as a number of constructional parts forming a whole in which the rear wall has to be provided. The rear wall forms the rear side of the composed element and includes one or more rear wall parts. The composed element comprises seats for installing at least one of the rear wall parts, which are configured such that the rear wall part can be slid into the seats starting from the rear side of the composed element from a position differing from the final plane in which the rear wall part will be situated in the final condition.
Nested canted coil springs, applications thereof, and related methods
A spring assembly having at least two canted coil spring lengths nested together are disclosed. Two sections of coils of a canted coil spring length can each be positioned between two adjacent coils of another canted coil spring. Each section of the coils of the canted coil spring length includes at least one coil and up to several coils or a plurality of coils. The canted coil spring lengths are nested together to increase the deflection force of the overall spring assembly. The spring assembly having two or more nested spring lengths can be used in connector applications.
Preloaded mooring connector
The present invention relates to a subsea structural connector (20) used in the offshore oil and gas industry for remotely joining elements of production and drilling vessel mooring systems and other subsea equipment. This invention relates to a connection mechanism that facilitates automatic latching of two components (1, 2) upon engagement, and then remotely controlled actuation of a device that secures the connection. Specifically, this invention relates to a securing mechanism that creates residual stress between the connected components (1, 2) such that the connector (20) can withstand high variable axial, shear, torsional and bending loads while minimizing the propensity for fatigue damage within the mechanism.
METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR SUSPENDING DUCT BY INSERTED CORNER MEMBERS
A unitary support assembly for connecting an air transport duct to a support includes a body portion, a duct connecting means integrally formed with the body portion for selectively securing the support assembly to the air transport duct, and a support connecting means integrally formed with the body portion opposite the duct connecting means for selectively securing the support assembly to the support.
Extendable interlocking structures and methods
Embodiments of the present disclosure include extendable structures and methods of forming an extendable structure. In accordance with an embodiment, an extendable structure includes a first chain of interlocking components including a first interlocking component, a second chain of interlocking components including a second interlocking component configured to mate to the bottom surface the first interlocking component, and a third chain of interlocking components including a third interlocking component configured to mate to the bottom surfaces of the first interlocking component and the second interlocking component. The extendable structure may include more than three chains of interlocking components and each chain of interlocking components may comprise three or more interlocking components.
SNOWMOBILE
The present invention generally relates to snowmobiles. More particularly, the present invention relates to the components of a snowmobile such as the frame, running boards and various other assemblies.
