An electronic device includes a boss including at least one projection, a connector joint disposed in an area adjacent to the boss, a bracket disposed to be engaged with the boss and to cover at least a portion of the connector joint, a screw recess formed in a female screw shape at a center of the projection of the boss, an antenna carrier or a rear frame disposed to enclose the bracket, and a screw passing through one side of the antenna carrier or the rear frame and engaged with the screw recess of the boss.

A push-pull latch assembly for a detachable media pick mechanism. The latch assembly comprises a handle that is slidably and axially insertable into a handle base which is mounted to the pick mechanism housing. The handle base includes a pair of cantilevered, opposed latched arms having opposed catches for engagement with a groove positioned inboard a free end of a cantilevered drive shaft for the pick mechanism. The handle includes triangular rails having inner and outer ramps used to separate the opposed latch arms. The outer ramp separates the latch arms when the handle is inserted into the handle base. The inner ramp separates the latch arms during removal of the pick mechanism from the drive shaft. An axial pushing force engages the latch assembly to the groove and an axial pulling force disengages the latch assembly from the groove allowing for pick assembly removal.

A push-pull latch assembly for mounting to a cantilevered post. The latch assembly comprises a handle that is slidably and axially insertable into a handle base which is mountable to a member such as a pick mechanism housing. The handle base includes a pair of cantilevered, opposed latched arms having opposed catches for engagement with a groove positioned adjacent to a free end of a cantilevered post. The handle includes triangular rails having inner and outer ramps used to separate the opposed latch arms. The outer ramp separates the latch arms when the handle is inserted into the handle base. The inner ramp separates the latch arms during removal of the latch assembly from the cantilevered post. An axial pushing force engages the latch assembly to the groove and an axial pulling force disengages the latch assembly from the groove allowing for latch assembly removal.

A tractor-mounted front loader includes a parking stand mounted to each of a pair of downwardly and forwardly inclined arm sections coupled to an implement resting on the ground. Each parking stand includes a support leg and a brace, the latter having a rear end pivotally mounted to a location approximately halfway between opposite ends of the support leg and an forward end pivotally mounted to a lower region of an associated loader arm section. The support leg and brace may be stored on the loader arm section by folding them together with a catch carried by the brace becoming releasably engaged with the support leg. The folded support leg and brace are then pivoted against the loader arm section and secured to it by a releasable latch which secures the top of the support leg to the arm section to establish a stored position.

A rigidizing latch assembly, in embodiments, is a robotically compatible aerospace attachment mechanism may be used to rigidly attach units to a structure and typically comprises a male latch and a receptacle configured to cooperatively couple. The male latch typically 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 locking mechanism is provided, including a locking body, a first connection member, a second connection member, a locking block rotatably connected to the locking body, a first locking member and a second locking member disposed on the locking block, a first matching portion formed on the first connection member and matching the first locking member, and a second matching portion formed on the second connection member and matching the second locking member. When the first matching portion and the second matching portion are respectively locked with the first locking member and the second locking member, the locking block is fixed with respect to the locking body; when the first matching portion is separated from the first locking member or the second matching portion is separated from the second locking member, the locking block rotates with respect to the locking body. The locking structure avoids unilateral locking and is convenient.

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 quick release fastener is provided for a hand-operated band saw with a saw band run on wheels in a housing, which has a base tray and a hinged lid and on which there is a handle. The handle is fixed to an upper angled edge of the lid and located below the handle there is a spring-loaded handle bar with two bent ends. The one end is fixed at the edge of the lid and the other end engages in a groove in the base tray through a recess in the edge.

A multi-piece umbrella pole that includes first and second pole sections that are assembled into an elongate umbrella pole. The pole sections include an alignment notch and cross pin for facilitating assembly of the two pole sections. An outer sleeve includes a button assembly that can actuate a detent pin for coupling or decoupling the pole sections. The outer sleeve can also include an actuator for a tilt mechanism that angles a canopy portion of the umbrella assembly.

A push-pull rotating mechanism includes a first fixing member, a pulling member, a rotating member, a connecting member, and a steering member. The first fixing member includes a first side plate and a second side plate connected to the first side plate; the pulling member is movably disposed on the first side plate, the pulling member defines a first slideway, the rotating member is rotatably disposed on the second side plate, and the rotating member protrudes to form a first pin. The connecting member includes a first end, a second end, and a connecting portion connected between the first end and the second end, the first end corresponding to the first slideway is provided with a second pin, the second pin is movably inserted into the first slideway, the connecting portion is rotatably disposed on the first side plate, and the second end protrudes to form a third pin.
