Connectors for coupling fall arresting devices to a safety harness. The connectors may include a first pin configured to lock into a first side of a base portion using one or more locking mechanisms. The first pin may be used to engage with one or more fall arresting devices to attach the one or more fall arresting devices to the connector. In some such examples, the locking mechanisms may be positioned within interior portions of the first side of the connector so as to allow the one or more fall arresting devices to pivot freely about the ends of the connector. In some examples, the connectors may include a second pin configured to lock into a second side of the base portion using one or more locking mechanisms. The second pin may be used to conveniently and releasably attached the connector to a safety harness of a worker.

An engine assembly for use with a gas turbine engine includes a first component, a second component, and a retention locking plug. The first component is formed to define a passage that extends into the first component. The second component is received in the passage defined in the first component. The retention locking plug extends into the first component and the second component to couple the second component with the first component.

A hitch assembly adapted to facilitate an articulation of a second frame relative to a first frame of an articulated machine includes a housing, a shaft member, and a pin member. The housing has a cavity, and is adapted to be coupled to the first frame through first fasteners. The shaft member has a through-hole and is received into the cavity, and is rotatable relative to the cavity and the housing to facilitate an oscillation of the second frame relative to the first frame. The pin member is received into the through-hole, and is rotatable relative to the through-hole and the shaft member to facilitate the articulation of the second frame relative to the first frame. The pin member is adapted to be coupled to the second frame through second fasteners.

An apparatus includes a housing, a spring-loaded plunger within the housing, and a spring-loaded rotating lock extending from the housing. The spring-loaded plunger includes a slot and an end portion. The end portion is configured to extend outside the housing and to be moved inward at least partially into the housing. The spring-loaded rotating lock includes a shaft, a locking pin positioned on the shaft, and a disc positioned on the shaft and having a recess. At least part of the spring-loaded plunger fits within the recess of the disc and is configured to contact the disc, and at least part of the disc fits within the slot.

A component manufacturing method includes a step of calculating, for a plurality of keyholes formed on a skin and disposed in a row along a first axial direction on the skin, a first imaginary line that passes an average position in a second axial direction perpendicular to the first axial direction and is parallel to the first axial direction, a step of calculating, for a plurality of keyholes formed on a frame and disposed in a row along a third axial direction on the frame, a second imaginary line that passes an average position in a fourth axial direction perpendicular to the third axial direction and is parallel to the third axial direction, and a step of superimposing the skin and the frame such that the first imaginary line and the second imaginary line coincide.

The invention relates to an offset joint for an oar to provide an offset angled and/or articulable blade, where the offset joint is an adjustable locking joint mounted on the outboard shaft end of the oar shaft, having a variable offset angle from 1-35 degrees to a cylindrical axis of the elongated shaft.

An access hood assembly for a conveyor cover is provided. The access hood assembly embodies a cammed lock assembly at each corner, for easier and safer opening, with no tools required, wherein each cammed lock assembly can act to lock the hood or as a pivot point to pivot about to an open position, when the hood is opened from the opposing side, where the associated cammed lock assemblies have been moved to an unlocked position. The arcuate hood of the access hood assembly supports multiple connection points for each cammed lock assembly to engaged in a locked position for securely keeping the access hood propped open when desired.

A footman loop clip includes a body and a bend formed in the body such that an end of the body is inboard of the bend, the body having an aperture. A pin passes through the aperture and has a pin head on one end, and a pull feature on the other end. A spring biases the pull feature toward the body. The pull feature is biased toward the body and when the pull feature is pulled a gap is formed and increased between the pin head and the end of the body.
