A fitting for connecting first and second components arranged at right angles to each other that includes a flange part, which extends in a first direction and has a first connection surface in contact with the first component, and which has at least one first connection hole formed by a bore of a first insert; and a base part, which extends in a second direction, perpendicular to the first direction, and has a second connection surface in contact with the second component, and which has at least one second connection hole formed by a bore of a second insert. The first insert is joined to the second insert by at least one loop of continuous fiber tow wound around radially outer surfaces of the first insert second inserts.

An adhesive mounting article includes a flexible adhesive tape structure having a first major surface and a second major surface opposite to the first major surface. The flexible adhesive tape structure includes a peelable adhesive layer disposed on the first major surface and a first separable connecting member disposed on the second major surface. The peelable adhesive layer is capable of adhering to a mounting surface and thereafter being manually removable from the mounting surface by peeling. A rigid faceplate structure includes a rigid faceplate having a first major surface and a second major surface opposite to the first major surface, and a second separable connecting member disposed on the first major surface of the rigid faceplate. The first and second separable connecting members engage with each other to form a separable connection to connect the flexible adhesive tape structure and the rigid faceplate structure.

A multifunctional detabber apparatus and method for producing bottles having a bottom surface with a hook projection integrally molded with and extending from the bottom surface in a deployed position. The bottom surface also includes at least one locking channel in order to receive and releasably secure the hook projection in a non-deployed position. The multifunctional detabber apparatus includes at least a grabber, a trimmer, and a hook closer. The grabber includes first and second jaws which surround the bottle and prevent movement. The trimmer includes first and second strikers for creating an outer periphery of the hook projection and an opening in the hook projection. The hook closer includes a mandrel that extends to bend and secure the hook projection in the locking channel in the bottom surface of the bottle.
