Magnetic textile fasteners are disclosed. In one embodiment, the textile fastener may include a spherical member and two receiving members. Each of the receiving members may include a surface portion and an opening within the flat surface portion, wherein the opening is configured to receive the spherical member. In an embodiment, textiles are placed between each receiving portion and the spherical member while the spherical member is inserted at least partially into the openings. The spherical member thereby applies a force between each textile and its respective receiving member. Magnetic interaction between the spherical member and the receiving members may maintain the force between the textile and the receiving members.

A vacuum filter bag includes an inlet flange and gasket, a clamp positioned adjacent the inlet flange, and a plug. The clamp is operable to engage the inlet port of a canister vacuum when the filter bag is mounted in the vacuum and keeps the filter bag securely attached to the vacuum inlet. The clamp is also operable to engage the plug and keep the plug in place to close the filter bag inlet after use of the bag. The filter bag reduces user exposure to dust and debris captured with a canister vacuum.

A clamping bushing which, due to the particular eccentric geometry and composite materials used to manufacture the same, comprising elastomers (14, 15) and metal sheets (10, 11), is suitable for the reduction of principally vertically acting vibrations and structure-borne sound which can arise in machines/gearboxes and, in particular, in wind turbines.

A clamp for sanitary fittings includes a clamp body formed of a first arcuate member and a second arcuate member movable about a hinge assembly from an open configuration to a closed, latched configuration. The hinge assembly detachably couples the first arcuate member to the second arcuate member. The hinge assembly includes an arcuate finger extending from an end of the first arcuate member, a pin-receiving recess formed within the arcuate finger, and a post formed on an end of the second arcuate member. Upon assembly, the arcuate finger cradles around the post and the post fits within the pin-receiving recess.

A clothing clasp for shortening the length of a strap of a sleeveless garment includes a frame member providing an opening therethrough and a cooperating insert member having a raised area that can fit in the opening when positioned beneath the frame member. A portion of the strap can be pushed downwardly through the opening to provide a loop, and the insert member can be positioned within the loop so that its raised area will extend upwardly in the opening and remain there with tightening of the strap and reduction of the loop.
