The device for stabilizing drain and/or fill valves for a flexible container for conveying liquids or pulverulent materials is characterized by use of a non-strictly cylindrical valve comprising at least one of the following three members: a lug in a low position formed by an extension of a through valve key, a polygonal proximal flange or a partially polygonal protuberance, and in that a stabilizing plate has both a recess corresponding to and following the shape of the said chosen member, and two pads of loops and hooks stuck to the proximal surface and intended to co-operate with pads of loops and hooks sewn and/or stuck to the outer surface of the flexible container opposite the said first pads, the resulting device, when assembled, preventing the valve from rotating on itself when a drain pipe and/or fill pipe is screwed to or unscrewed from the valve.

A clamping tool includes a strut having one end and defining a longitudinal axis. Arranged on the one end of the strut is a mount which includes a bushing that is arranged on the strut. The bushing includes recesses and a receptacle which interacts with the recesses so as to be rotatably mounted in the bushing. The bushing has an interior provided with at least one groove for receiving an O-ring which is sized to extend beyond the groove to inhibit a rotational mobility of the receptacle. A clamping device is received in the receptacle of the mount and configured to swing about an axis perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the strut.

A clamp assembly a fixed end support, a movable end support and a handle disposed in one end support or the other. The handle is rotated using an electric tool, such as a drill. A female receiver is disposed within a rearward end of the handle. A male driver is removably held within a chuck of the electric drill and is inserted into the receiver to rotate and then tighten or loosen the support end of the clamp. Alternatively, the clamp assembly has a male portion that is disposed at a rear portion of an end support and a female driver is used to rotate and then tighten or loosen the clamp from the wood pieces. The female receiver and male driver can be used with either a movable end support or a stationary end support of the clamp, as could the male portion and the female driver.

A clamping device includes: a clamp assembly and an adjustment assembly, the clamp assembly comprises two symmetrical clamp arms which are oppositely hinged to each other. Each of the clamp arms includes two identical and parallel clamp pieces, and a jaw, the jaw is detachably connected between the two clamp pieces, a lower edge of the jaw includes, in order from left to right, a first arc-shaped section, a second arc-shaped section and a horizontal section, the bottoms of the first arc-shaped section, the second arc-shaped section and the horizontal section are at a same plane, the first and second arc-shaped sections are symmetrical to each other, an angle is defined between the first and second arc-shaped sections, a V-shaped groove is defined between the second arc-shaped section and the horizontal section, and the first and second arc-shaped sections are each longer than the horizontal section.

A clamping tool of the type including a C-shaped body and a drive screw with a threaded portion in mechanical communication with a threaded receiver in one end of the C-shaped body and including at least two threaded receivers in one end of the C-shaped body, each adapted to separately and independently receive and support the threaded portion of the drive screw. A backstop may be included with a backstop pin extending from a surface of the backstop and at least two non-collinear backstop bushings in a second end of the C-shaped body. The at least two non-collinear backstop bushings may each be adapted to receive and support the backstop pin of the backstop, thereby providing more than one position of the backstop on the C-shaped body.

A dual-interface coupler includes a utilities unit, a number of utility cables configured to provide a number of utilities to the utilities unit, a first coupling unit associated with the utilities unit, and a second coupling unit associated with the utilities unit. The first coupling unit is configured to mechanically couple the utilities unit to a first corresponding coupling unit and comprises a utility interface. The number of utilities are configured to flow from the utilities unit through the utilities interface. The second coupling unit is configured to mechanically couple the second coupling unit to a second corresponding coupling unit.

A spring clamp for assembly fixturing includes a retainer that limits a minimum distance between jaws of the spring clamp when the spring clamp is in a relaxed state.
