Prosthesis devices can include sockets having adjustable features. In one example, a socket includes one or more panels that can move outwardly or inwardly relative to a receptacle portion of the socket. The panels can be moved by tightening a tensioning line.

An assembly tool for assembly of a first component of a prosthesis to a second component of the prosthesis for use in joint arthroplasty. The tool includes a first member operably associated with the first component and a second member operably associated with the second component. The second member includes a cap having a threaded recess and further includes a threaded rod adapted to engage the threaded recess so as to move the second member relative to the first member and the threaded rod is made of a harder metal than the threaded recess.

The present disclosure is directed to a gearbox repair apparatus for repairing a bore hole of a gearbox torque arm. In certain embodiments, the apparatus includes a mounting structure configured to mount to the torque arm. The mounting structure includes a through hole that aligns with the bore hole of the torque arm when mounted thereto. As such, when mounted to the torque arm, the mounting structure is configured to locate a boring bar at a center of the bore hole such that the boring bar is perpendicular to a face of the torque arm. Further, the mounting structure is configured to receive the boring bar through the aligned through hole and bore hole such that, when inserted therethrough, the boring bar is configured to machine and thus repair the bore hole.

A tool for removing a seated bearing from a bearing housing of a machine having a rotatable shaft, such as a squirrel cage blower, the bearing removal tool being easily positionable within the assemble housing aft of the bearing and including a striking surface at partially circumferential relation to the shaft for exerting a generally normal force against the bearing sufficient to overcome the frictional force between the bearing and the shaft when the tool is moved quickly and sharply along the shaft against the aft side of the bearing.

Prosthesis devices can include sockets having adjustable features. In one example, a socket includes one or more panels that can move outwardly or inwardly relative to a receptacle portion of the socket. The panels can be moved by tightening a tensioning line.

A replacement tool removes an old bushing or installs a new bushing in a driveshaft yoke. A fixture has a guide chamber facing a bushing bore and a first threaded passage. A traveler mounted in the fixture has a plunger received in the guide chamber and a socket that holds the bushing. The plunger has a second threaded passage aligned with the first passage and having a smaller diameter. A set screw can lock the bushing into the socket. A removal bolt with a shaft matching the second passage is inserted through both passages. Turning of the removal bolt retracts the traveler and extracts the bushing. The tool is reconfigured with an installation bolt in the first passage only. A push plug is placed in the guide chamber to transfer force from the installation bolt to the plunger during turning of the installation bolt to press fit a new bushing.

A tile aligning and leveling system that uses an under tile base re-usable upright connecting tab, which is detachably connected to said under tile base, a re-usable flexible edge slotted cap configured to slip over the connecting tab and latch thereto as the cap is slid further down the connecting tab. The cap has an edge slot so that the connecting tab can be separated from the cap, by merely sliding the cap, so that the connecting tab passes through the slot. A flexible spring-like portion of the cap provides increased force on the tile even if undesired elongation of the connecting tab occurs.

A toilet seat tightening kit is provided that includes a screwdriver, a wrench, and one or more washers. The components of the toilet seat tightening kit can be joined or fitted together to provide a unitary (i.e., single) component for storage. The components can be easily separated for use. The components of the toilet seat tightening kit are used with one or more pairs of a bolt and a nut that are commonly provided with a toilet seat to securely install the toilet seat on a toilet base. In an assembled form, the washers fit over a shaft of the screwdriver, and the shaft of the screwdriver snaps into an interior cavity of the wrench. The interior cavity is sized and shaped to contain the washers and the screwdriver shaft.

A device is provided for assembling a casing ring in a watch case middle including a bearing surface on an inner wall thereof, the casing ring including a housing opening in a lateral face of the casing ring, and in an upper or lower face of the casing ring. The device includes a locking part pivotable about a vertical axis of rotation passing through the upper or lower opening from a first position, in which the locking part is housed in the housing, to a second position, in which the locking part protrudes and abuts against the bearing surface of the inner wall of the case middle so as to hold the casing ring in the case middle. The locking part is snap-fitted in the housing and is pivotable about the vertical axis of rotation. A timepiece and a watch case fitted with the assembly device are also provided.

A novel latch seat for a switching rocker arm assembly used in variable valve actuation (VVA) systems for internal combustion engines. The seat is formed interactively in the assembled switching rocker arm using a novel fixture and press. The press interactively creates a curved dimple of the correct curvature, position and depth while measuring several lash dimensions. Since the latch seat is formed on the assembled rocker arm assembly, the latch seat depth is designed to account for the inaccuracies in the rocker arm assembly parts which create lash. Therefore all of the parts may be made with less precision since the latch seat is sized to compensate for the inaccuracies of all of the parts. The rocker arm assembly parts now may be manufactured to less stringent standards, but result in a rocker arm assembly with same accuracy of rocker arm assemblies manufactured to previous standards.
