A rigidizing latch assembly comprises a robotically compatible aerospace attachment mechanism which comprises a male latch and a receptacle configured to cooperatively couple. The male latch comprises a male latch housing and a latch assembly movably disposed within the male latch housing; a driver operatively in communication with a latch support; a male latch core; a driver interface access port; and one or more extraction feet operatively in communication with the driver. The receptacle comprises a receptacle housing sized to receive a lower portion of the male latch housing; a positioning target adapted to provide a visual positioning targeting cue; and one or more latch interfaces dimensioned to releasably mate with a corresponding lead-in guide of the plurality of lead-in guides.

A quick attachment coupling system to attach tactical or tool accessories, providing the ability to interchange accessories on the fly, which can be modified to fit or be integrated to the magazine base of a pistol, the fore-end of a long gun, the exterior of wearable tactical gear, or any other supporting structure. The coupling system includes a dock. Each accessory tool is fitted with a tang which slides into a tang slot in the dock where it is automatically secured for use by a spring-loaded lock switch. A core plug in the tang slot holds the lock switch in an unlocked position when the accessory tool is uncoupled from the dock.

A system for receiving and ejecting a fluid testing device test strip includes a strip connector having first and second guide rails, and divider walls each having a channel. A sled has first and second legs connected to a cross member. Each leg has a contact leg extending inwardly from a chamfered end. The first and second legs when positioned parallel to the guide rails have the contact leg captured in the divider wall channels retaining the sled in sliding contact with the guide rails for motions in loading and ejection directions. A mechanism assembly is movably connected to the fluid testing device. The cross member is coupled so operation in a first direction displaces the sled in the loading direction positioning the sled in a test strip test position, and opposite operation positions the contact legs in direct contact with and ejects the test strip.

A coupling device comprising arranged in two opposing walls of a box-like enclosure, two flexible tabs from which two raised portions which act against each other protrude inward, one of which is adapted to engage a rigid laminar element to be inserted between the two flexible tabs while the other, after the coupling, can be pushed manually in order to move the coupled raised portion and release the rigid laminar element to be removed.

A quick coupler primary lock arrangement includes a fore-and-aft guided wedge arrangement carried by a cross shaft and is biased forwardly to a lock position by a first spring arrangement, and includes a secondary lock arrangement includes a locking pawl arrangement pivotally mounted to the cross shaft and biased, by a second spring arrangement, to a secondary lock position wherein the pawl arrangement includes a surface disposed in a confronting locking disposition relative to an abutment surface of a fixed plate of the coupler to thereby prevent rearward movement of the wedge arrangement from the lock position. A normally depressurized hydraulic cylinder is coupled to the pawl arrangement and when selectively pressurized overcomes spring biasing forces and pivots the pawl arrangement from the secondary locking position and then shifts the wedge arrangement rearward to a coupler release position. An electro-hydraulic control arrangement prevents unintentional operation of the hydraulic cylinder.

A wiper connector and a wiper assembly thereof. The connector is detachably coupled between a wiper arm and a wiper, wherein the connector comprises a connector body and a stopper. The connector body has a longitudinal groove. One end of a stopper is detachably and rotatably disposed at one end of the longitudinal groove, and the other end of the stopper is detachably retained to the longitudinal groove so that the stopper movably shields a part of an opening of the longitudinal groove.

A modular furniture system capable of being arranged in different configurations in a settee area of a bowling center, for example, is disclosed. The furniture system includes at least one modular furniture element with a fastening mechanism which includes a first assembly and a second assembly. The first assembly of the fastening mechanism includes an engaging element which extends through at least one component of the first assembly and attaches to a component of the second assembly of an adjacent modular furniture element.

A reciprocator-typed quick-releasing mechanism includes a base, a latching component and an actuating component. The base is disposed inside a first module, and has a first piercing hole and a first opening. The latching component is disposed on the base, and includes a constraining portion and a resilient portion. The constraining portion aligns with the first piercing hole and a second piercing hole on a second module. The resilient portion is connected to the constraining portion. The actuating component is slidably disposed on the base and includes a pushing portion and an actuating portion. The actuating portion is connected to the pushing portion and protrudes from the first opening and a second opening on the second module. The actuating portion moves relative to the second opening to flexibly deform the resilient portion via the pushing portion, so as to remove the constraining portion from the second piercing hole.

A positioning system for seat of a bathing chair comprises: a bearing assembly, which is mounted at the bottom of a seat of a bathing chair and can glide on the upper girder, wherein the bearing assembly is hold on the top pin of the upper girder; an axle, which is rotatable in the said bearing assembly; and a swing element, which is mounted on the axle and makes the top pin retracted in the upper girder; wherein at the top of the bearing assembly there is a joint groove with an upward opening; wherein the axle is set in the joint groove through the opening of the joint groove of the bearing assembly; by the combination of the joint groove with the axle it is achieved that product yield is improved and assembly is set in the joint groove.
