Mounting apparatus for an electronic device
An adjustable mounting apparatus for electronic devices is configured to be adaptable to various support structures, and to facilitate a customized mount orientation for the electronic devices through several degrees of pivot freedom. The mounting apparatus is particularly adaptable to outdoor or industrial environments in which standard support structure modalities may not be available.
CONNECTION OF TWO ADAPTER PARTS OF A SUPPORTING APPARATUS WHICH CAN BE CONSTRUCTED IN A MODULAR MANNER
A connection of two adapter parts of a modularly-constructed supporting apparatus includes a first adapter part which has an end-side attachment with a partially spherical recess, a second adapter part which has an end-side spherical attachment for insertion into the partially spherical recess in the first adapter part and has a clamping ring which bears against the spherical attachment, on its half which is averted from the partially spherical recess, and a connecting clamp which engages behind the attachment and the clamping ring on sides which are averted from one another and also fixes the attachment and the clamping ring axially and radially in relation to one another, wherein the attachment and the clamping ring each have at least one weakening region for deforming the attachment and the clamping ring when the connecting clamp acts on the attachment and the clamping ring. The connection is secure when tools, workpieces or the like of a relatively high weight are held by the supporting apparatus.
Articulated utility pole
Disclosed and described herein are embodiments of an articulated utility pole that facilitates repair and/or reinstallation in the event of damage to the pole caused by wind loading (e.g., storms), trees or other items striking the utility lines, collisions with the poles, and the like. Also disclosed herein are methods of repairing and/or re-installing the articulated utility pole. Further disclosed herein are components for fabricating an articulated utility pole.

TOOLLESS ALIGNMENT AND SECURING OF SENSOR OR OTHER DEVICE
Mounting apparatus is used for supporting an accessory device, e.g., a sensor, in a manner permitting adjustment. An accessory device-receiving mount is fixable to the accessory device and has at least one surface forming a cross-section permitting adjustment in at least one degree of freedom. A clamp ring engages the device-receiving mount at the surface, so that the cross-section permitting adjustment. A clamping mechanism selectively clamps the clamp ring and includes a manually threaded fastener and a lever-operated clamp tightener. The lever-operated clamp tightener acts on the manually threaded fastener to releasably tighten the clamping mechanism beyond that achieved by manually threading the manually threaded fastener, permitting manually threading the clamping arrangement at a maximum tension less than a full tension applied by the lever-operated clamp tightener.
MOTION MECHANISM APPLIED TO INWARD-FOLDING FLEXIBLE SCREEN TERMINAL
The present invention provides a motion mechanism applied to an inward-folding flexible screen terminal, comprising an intermediate support structure, left and right support structures, and left and right movable support plates. The intermediate support structure is provided with a synchronous reverse rotation connecting mechanism. The left and right movable support plates are rotatably connected to the left and right support structures at the intermediate support structure, respectively. Rotation of the left and right movable support plates can be directly planned according to the relationship between gears and racks, and the gear indexing circle diameter can be increased in finite space by using virtual center design, so that the racks are driven to generate a larger sliding distance by rotating a small angle, i.e., sliding a chassis to increase the accommodating space of the screen closed state. Moreover, the effect of accurately controlling sliding is also achieved, and designing a certain transmission ratio by means of the principle of gear and rack transmission to realize the design of the rotation angle can produce the required sliding amount.
COUPLING DEVICE FOR A VERTICAL POLE FOR GYM EXERCISES
Coupling device (20) for a vertical pole (8) for gym exercises comprising a hemispherical element (3) positioned inside a seat (22), a base (1), a shaft (5) inserted inside the hemispherical element (3) to which the vertical pole (8) for gym exercises is connected, said device (20) being characterized in that the hemispherical element (3) comprises a plurality of blocking elements (10, 33, 45) configured to be coupled to a plurality of corresponding elements (26, 34, 44), made on the inner surface of the seat (22) of the hemispherical element (3) to prevent the rotation of the pole (8) around an axis (X) passing through the centre of the coupling device (20) while leaving free the oscillatory movement of the pole (8) with respect to said axis (X).
MOVEMENT MECHANISM APPLIED TO INNER-FOLDING FLEXIBLE SCREEN TERMINAL AND INNER-FOLDING FLEXIBLE SCREEN TERMINAL
A movement mechanism applied to an inner-folding flexible screen terminal, comprising an intermediate support structure, the intermediate support structure being provided with a flexible screen support surface, a left-side rotation connection structure and a right-side rotation connection structure, a left-side connecting member and a right-side connecting member; inner ends of the left-side rotation connection structure and the right-side rotation connection structure are both rotatably connected to the intermediate support structure, the left-side connecting member and the right-side connecting member are respectively rotatably connected to outer ends of the left-side rotation connection structure and the right-side rotation connection structure, and the left-side connecting member and the right-side connecting member are respectively slidably connected to a left-side support frame and a right-side support frame. By means of the pressing of a pressing structure to the rotation structure, when a flexible screen mobile terminal is unfolded, the left and right casings can be prevented from rotating and shaking, and the unfolded state is stably maintained; and it is suitable for adopting multiple segments of rotation structures to cooperate with the pressing structure, thereby reducing the risk of getting stuck during rotation.

Pivot joint and vehicles that employ a pivot joint
In an aspect, a pivot joint for a collapsing foot-deck-based vehicle is described, comprising a foot deck, at least two wheels coupled to the foot deck, and a handlebar assembly coupled to the foot deck via a locking pivot joint, also referred to as a locking swivel joint, the handlebar assembly comprising at least one handle, the locking pivot joint having a pivot axis that is generally unparallel with a horizontal plane defined by the lowermost surfaces of the at least two wheels, the handlebar assembly being selectively pivotable via the locking pivot joint between a riding configuration in which the handle is generally distal from the foot deck and a collapsed configuration in which the handle is generally proximal to the foot deck.
