The alignment of a nut and a nut-side pulley is performed by: a nut insertion step of inserting the nut into the nut-side pulley; a temporary tightening step of, after the nut insertion step, inserting a shaft portion of a fastening bolt in a fastening bolt insertion hole of the nut-side pulley, with the shaft portion being inserted through a spring washer, and then, tightening the shaft portion into an internal thread of the nut until a dimension of the spring washer becomes shorter than a free length and longer than a fully compressed length; an axis deviation adjusting step of adjusting a position of the nut-side pulley relative to the nut to decrease a deviation of the nut-side pulley relative to a rotation axis of the nut after the temporary tightening step; and a final tightening step of further tightening the fastening bolt after the axis deviation adjusting step.

The present disclosure provides descriptions of configurations for bonding washers used to facilitate the electrical bonding of metal structures. The bonding washer includes an electrically conductive body and at least one piercing member extending from a bottom surface of the body. An extended member extends from the electrically conductive body in a direction away from the bottom surface of the body.

An assembly having a chassis, two supports with a plate and a guide, a nesting system with a bore, a reservoir containing an extinguishing fluid and with two fastening tabs, two bearing tabs and a peg, and a fastener. The reservoir is able to move in translation between a premounting position in which each fastening and bearing tab rests on a plate and each guide guides the fastening and bearing tabs to align the peg and the bore, and a mounting position in which each fastening tab rests on the plate, the peg is introduced into the bore, the bearing tabs no longer rest on the plates and the fastener fastens each fastening tab to the plate. Such an assembly allows the reservoir to be withdrawn and put in place quickly and easily.

An adjustable locking fastener comprising a post and a lever for use in an aquarium. The adjustable locking fastener includes a post, a lever and a letoff portion. The adjustable locking fastener may be quickly removed and reattached with minimal effort, and with a constant set point for the attachment.

A lock nut and tang washer mechanism preloads and locks components in a rotating environment. A drive system mechanism preloads and locks the device in a rotating environment and provides a double locking safety requirement needed in most aircraft for applications operating in an enclosed environment. The mechanism holds a required torque for the duration of the drive system operating life without the need for periodic visual inspections.

A locking device adapted to lock a shell to an installation body includes a thread connection member extending through a connecting hole in the shell and engaging a threaded hole in the installation body, a sealing ring sleeved on the thread connection member and adapted to be pressed on an installation surface of the shell to seal the connecting hole of the shell, and a gasket sleeved on the thread connection member and adapted to be pressed between the thread connection member and the sealing ring to prevent the thread connection member from being loosened. The gasket has a pair of stopping arms. An angle defined between the stopping arms is greater than 0 degrees and less than 180 degrees. A pair of top ends of the stopping arms are adapted to simultaneously abut against an outer wall of the shell to prevent the gasket from rotating with the thread connection member.

A surgical access assembly includes a cannula and a retention anchor including an annular body and a washer secured to the annular body. The annular body includes an inner side surface defining an opening therethrough, and the washer includes an inner terminal edge defining an opening therethrough that is aligned with the opening of the annular body. The elongated shaft of the cannula extends through the openings. The washer is transitionable between a first configuration in which the inner terminal edge of the washer is coincident with or disposed radially outwardly of the inner side surface of the annular body so that the retention anchor is slidable along the elongated shaft, and a second configuration in which the inner terminal edge of the washer extends radially inwardly of the inner side surface of the annular body and engages the elongated shaft to fix the retention anchor to the elongated shaft.
