A stand assembly for holding handheld electronic devices in a multitude of positions or locations having a first section with a curved end magnetically attached to second section having and indented surface. The first section also attaches to a surface, the second section either is contiguous with a portable electronic device, a carrying case, or other item; or has a means to attach to another surface. A high-friction elastomeric material, or similar friction producing material, helps to secure the first and second sections together, or the second section against another flat magnetic surface.

A connector and medical equipment are provided. The connector includes at least one framework and at least one fastening structure. The at least one connector is used to connect a main body and a housing. The at least one framework is arranged along the outside of the main body. The fastening structure is located on the at least one framework. The at least one fastening structure is used to connect the housing.

Described herein are axially and radially swivelable detangling connector devices that are suitable for preventing entanglement, or detangling, of a device or means that is used to secure one or more mobile objects or subjects to one or more objects or subjects. Methods of making and using the disclosed devices are also provided herein.

A fitting for an aircraft bracing device including anchor points, wherein the fitting includes a face able to press against the aircraft and at least one guide hole for a connecting element able to collaborate with an anchor point, a slider able to move in a translational movement parallel to a first direction parallel to the face of the fitting and a connection between the slider and the connecting element which allows a movement in a second direction different from the first direction and parallel to the face of the fitting so as to align the connecting element with an anchor point.

This invention relates to a joint housing (10) of a ball joint (12), comprising a sheet-metal part (14) for accommodating a ball head (16), which is substantially rotationally symmetrical with respect to a joint axis (A) and includes a circumferential wall portion (18), wherein the circumferential wall portion (18) includes a housing opening (26) at an axial end (24), through which a joint pin (28) can extend, wherein the sheet-metal part (14) is formed with two layers at this axial end (24) of the circumferential wall portion (18).

Furthermore, the invention also relates to a method for mounting such joint housing (10) on a carrier element (34).

A bearing seat for a ball joint which simplifies the process of joining a housing and a bearing seat and makes it easy to guarantee the stiffness necessary for a ball joint as a whole by making it easy to fill the interior of an undercut groove with a softened or molten material and a ball joint having this bearing seat for a ball joint are provided. The ball joint 100 has a bearing seat in the form of a ball seat 130 which receives a ball portion 113 of a ball stud 110 inside a cast housing 120 so that the ball portion 113 can slidably rotate. The ball seat 130 has an undercut groove 140 in its outer peripheral surface which contacts the inner peripheral surface of the housing 120. The undercut groove 140 is formed so that the inner width W.sub.2 of its bottom portion 142 is greater than the opening width W.sub.1 of the opening 141 and so that its depth D is shallower than the opening width W.sub.1 of the opening 141.
