A clamp assembly that may be used for securing to a raised portion of a surface. The clamp assembly comprising a mounting body of a general block shape having a slot for receiving the raised portion formed in a bottom surface of the mounting body attaching the clamp assembly thereto. The clamp assembly is configured with one or more pins that may be formed in a substantially elongated cylindrical shape. The pins may be configured to be received in one or more push-pin holes formed in the mounting body, whereby the push-pin holes extend to the slot from a side surface of push-pin holes. The clamp assembly includes a fastening element adapted to be received in a fastener hole formed adjacent the push-pin holes in the side surface of the mounting body. The fastening element is configured to secure, attach and hold the clamp assembly to the standing seam by forcing the pins against the raised portion of the surface disposed in the slot.

A method and tool assembly (10) for unloading and reloading spring energy from a torsion bar (11) in a torsion bar suspension system of a motor vehicle. The tool assembly (10) includes a generally C-shaped body (14) having a screw shaft (24) threaded through a boss (22) in a lower section (18) thereof. An anti-rotation stem (38) includes a knurled flat face (40) which increases versatility of the tool assembly (10) by enabling anti-slip operation with various vehicle types. A counter-torque tool perch (46) extends from the lower section (18) of the tool body (14) for applying a counter-rotational torque to the body (14) during use of the tool assembly (10).

An attachment jig includes a pressing member having a positioning portion configured to position a target component in a direction where an attachment target surface of a fixing target member extends, and a pressing portion configured to press the target component positioned by the positioning portion toward the attachment target surface, and a detachment member having a first abutting portion configured to come into contact with the attachment target surface, the first support surface, and the second support surface, and a second abutting portion configured to come into contact with the pressing member on the attachment target surface, is the detachment member being configured to cause the pressing member to be positioned in a direction where the attachment target surface extends with respect to the first support surface and the second support surface, and detachable from the pressing member.

A solid surface clamp that has a top jaw and a bottom jaw, along with alignment structures, is disclosed. The clamp includes a top jaw, a bottom jaw, a bolt attached to the bottom jaw and slideably received through the top jaw, and a nut. The bolt has an alignment cutout, a threaded portion extending from the top jaw and defines a bolt longitudinal axis. The nut is threaded onto the threaded portion of the bolt and transitions the clamp from an open position to a clamping position. The top jaw further includes an alignment hole that contacts the alignment cutout and maintains the top jaw and the bottom jaw substantially fixed relative to each other about the bolt longitudinal axis. The alignment cutout moves relative to the alignment shaft in the direction of the bolt longitudinal axis when the clamp transitions from an open position to a clamping position.

An anti-pivot and lock mechanism for a clamp including a horizontal post connected and moveable relative to a vertical post. The mechanism engages the vertical post and horizontal post above or below a pivot axis of the horizontal post to prevent or minimize pivoting movement of the horizontal post between changes of consecutive clamped workpieces.

An F-type clamp with an anti-pivot and lock mechanism that engages a side of the first post facing the clamp head below a pivot axis of the guide arm of the clamp; or the anti-pivot axis engages a second side opposite the first side and above the pivot axis of the guide arm.

A clamp for reinforcing a solid surface is disclosed and may be used with a top rail and a bottom rail. The clamp has a top jaw and a bottom jaw, each with a channel constructed to receive and align the top and bottom rails respectively in a first direction and a second direction. Each jaw has its own channel lip, shaft hole, and alignment pin hole. An alignment pin may be disposed of in the pin holes to inhibit the rotation of the jaws relative to each other. A shaft may be disposed of in the shaft holes, and the shaft may be at least partially threaded with a knob connected to the shaft. The clamp may have three configurations: a locked configuration; a sliding configuration; and a rail removal configuration. Multiple clamps may be used to construct a multidimensional frame to reinforce and support the solid surface.

The invention relates to an automation component or clamping device including a basic housing, at least one jaw movably guided in a jaw guide of the basic housing, and a piston movably guided in the basic housing, wherein the piston has a piston surface, wherein the piston is coupled in terms of movement to the jaw, and wherein a piston rod extending on the piston transversely with respect to the piston surface, wherein the centroid of the piston surface is spaced apart from the central longitudinal axis of the piston rod (22).

The present disclosure is directed to a coupling assembly for a turbomachine. The coupling assembly includes a liner and a sleeve at least partially positioned circumferentially around the liner. A frame is positioned between the liner and the sleeve. The frame includes a first side wall, a second side wall, and a base wall extending from the first side wall to the second side wall. A block is positioned between the liner and the sleeve and is movable relative to the frame to permit the block to move toward and away from the base wall. Moving the block away from the base wall causes the block to exert an inward force on the liner and the base wall to exert an outward force on the sleeve.

A seismic sway brace fitting for a seismic brace includes a first jaw defining a threaded opening configured to receive a fastener to secure the seismic sway brace fitting to the seismic brace, and a second jaw. A pin connects the first and second jaws to one another. The first and second jaws define a space configured to receive an end portion of the seismic brace. The threaded opening is aligned with the space such that the fastener extends into the space to engage the end portion of the seismic brace when the fastener is received in the threaded opening to secure the seismic brace to the sway brace fitting. The first jaw includes at least one brace bearing surface configured to engage an end of the seismic brace to inhibit the rotation of the first jaw relative to the second jaw.
