A slider bar extender to removably connect one or more slider bars to a processing machine or tool is disclosed. In illustrated embodiments, the extender is coupled to a holder structure through a tongue and groove connection. In illustrated embodiments, the tongue is formed on the holder structure and the groove is formed on the extender. In illustrated embodiments, the extender includes a plurality of reduced thickness strips. The reduced thickness strips are orientated lengthwise to control or transfer bending to one or more bars connected to a proximal edge surface of the extender.

A workpiece clamp device capable for changing clamp angle is arranged on a base plane and comprises a first and a second movable blocks, a driving block, at least one first and at least one second elastic members, at least one first and at least one second cylinders, and at least one third and at least one fourth elastic members. Since the first and the second cylinders are slightly rotatably and detachably respectively embedded in the first and the second embedding grooves to make the first and the second rough surfaces be exposed and the elasticity of the third and the fourth elastic members is cooperated therewith, the first and the second rough surfaces are slightly fine-tuned based on the shapes and sizes of the workpieces so as to be suitable for clamping and fastening the workpieces with different shapes.

Described herein is a retaining pin comprising a tubular outer shaft and a rotatable shaft disposed within the tubular outer shaft. The rotatable shaft is rotatably engaged with the tubular outer shaft. The rotatable shaft can comprise a locking protrusion fixed to an end of the rotatable shaft and that is operable to rotate with rotation of the rotatable shaft. An axis of the tubular outer shaft and an axis of the rotatable shaft are eccentric.

A mount for an auxiliary handlebar, the mount comprising: a stem; a fastener configured to receive the auxiliary handlebar; a clamp configured to secure the mount to a primary handlebar; and a clamp lock comprising: a linkage rotatably connected to the stem; and a cam lever rotatably connected to the linkage; wherein the clamp lock is configured to selectively lock the clamp.

A clamp apparatus includes a mounting module, a clamp module, and an actuator. The clamp module includes two facing arms and a cam clamped between the two arms. Each arm is rotatably mounted to the mounting module and has a clamp end. The clamp module is configured to have a clamped configuration in which each clamp end is engaged with the object and an open configuration in which the object is free from each of the clamp ends, and further configured to operate between the clamped configuration and the open configuration. The actuator is configured to drive the cam thereby imparting motive force to the two arms during the operation between the clamped configuration and the open configuration.

A fly fishing vice is provided. A fly vice for creating custom flies includes a cylindrical member that attaches to a vertical member, and the vertical member attaches to a base member. The members can be disassembled for transport. The cylindrical member includes integrated jaw members for holding flies. Moreover, the cylindrical member can be custom adjusted to a desired point in three-dimensional space.

Provided are universal grip systems and method of using universal grip systems to test coupons. According to various examples, a universal grip system includes two grips and two guide posts for supporting the two grips and allowing the two grips to move with respect to each other. Each grip may include one or two wedges. The wedges are used to engage the coupons during testing and provide anti-buckling support and/or anti-rotation support. The wedges are slidably coupled within corresponding grips, which allows the universal grip system to engage and disengage the coupons by moving one grip with respect to another. The grips may be constructed from thermally neutral materials, such as invar 36. The grips may thermally isolated from the guide posts by, for example, a set of spacers disposed between the grips and linear bearing slidably coupled to the guide posts.
