A method of fitting a fastener to an object is introduced. The fastener has a weldable surface and an engaging portion or a hole portion. One end of the hole portion or one end of the engaging portion has a holding portion. During a welding heating process, solder flows into or enters the holding portion and then cools down and solidifies therein so as to be held therein. Therefore, the weldable surface and the holding portion together enable the fastener to be firmly coupled to an object. The engaging portion and the hole portion together enable an object to be coupled to or removed from another object, so as to couple together and separate at least two objects repeatedly and quickly.

In some implementations, a retainer sleeve may include a body including an at least partially annular configuration defining a retainer axis. The body may include an inner surface configured to rotatably receive an outer surface of a lock. The body may include a plurality of plates circumferentially joined together with respect to the retainer axis, where a first plate of the plurality of plates includes a first leg joined to the first plate extending away from the retainer axis and configured to contact a lock cavity of the lock. The body may include an anti-rotation feature, disposed on the first plate, extending inward from the inner surface toward the retainer axis, the anti-rotation feature including a locking surface configured to contact a lock skirt of the lock, the locking surface disposed at a first angle with respect to a bottom end of the first plate.

The utility model discloses a marine mounting part, and relates to the field of a marine accessory. A main body thereof is a mounting part, and the mounting part is provided with a mounting base and an accessory mounting portion, characterized in that the mounting base is provided with a quick connector, and the mounting base and the accessory mounting portion are movably connected through the quick connector. The quick connector is easy and flexible to operate, and the mounting base and the accessory mounting portion are connected through the quick connector, so that the user can easily and quickly dismount and replace the accessory mounting portion.

A magnetic pass-through controller of an in-helmet display includes internal components inside a helmet. The internal components include a magnet assembly holding one or more internal magnets and a swing arm affixed to the magnet assembly and affixed to the in-helmet display. External components outside the helmet include an external magnet housing holding one or more external magnets and an adjuster for manual rotation. The adjuster is coupled to the external magnet housing such that the manual rotation of the adjuster causes a corresponding rotation of the external magnet housing. Magnetic coupling between the one or more internal magnets and the one or more external magnets causes the corresponding rotation also in the magnet assembly and the swing arm.
