    摘要: A head suitable to be supported by a tripod or a monopod includes a rotatable ball contained within a body defining a socket where the rotatable ball includes a shaft extending therefrom suitable to attach to a retainment structure to support a device thereon. A first movable member selectively increases and decreases the ability of the ball to freely rotate. A terminal end of the shaft includes a retainment structure that includes at least four angularly arranged “V” shaped members protruding from the terminal end, where each of the “V” shaped members extends over 90 percent of the distance from a central opening defined by the shaft and an exterior peripheral surface defined by the shaft.

    摘要: A double ball and socket joint is disclosed. The double ball and socket joint is formed of a two-piece capsule. Each piece of the capsule carries a ball and extension combination that operates rotationally within a socket. The extensions exit the capsule through void spaces at both distal ends of the capsule. The two pieces of the capsule are preferably in snap-fit engagement. The result is that the double ball and socket joint of the present invention provides infinite combinations of rotation about five axes of rotation: a first and a second axis of rotation about the first ball, a third and a fourth axis of rotation about the second ball, and a fifth axis of rotation is provided when the two pieces of the capsule are rotated relative to one another.

    摘要: An adjustable fishing rod butt includes a first elongate member hingeably attached to a second elongate member. The first elongate member includes an opening on a bottom surface thereof extending at least into an interior thereof, and an alignment locking member secured about the opening on the bottom surface thereof. The alignment locking member includes an opening coaxially aligned with the opening in the first elongate member. The second elongate member includes an adjustable reel seat portion on an upper surface, and an angle positioning arm extending from a bottom surface and oriented to be received by the openings in the first elongate member and the alignment locking member. A locking pin locks the angle positioning arm to provide the butt with a specific angular relationship.

    摘要: Example embodiments relate to tiltable luminaire joints. One example tiltable joint for a luminaire includes a first joint portion that includes a joint member provided with an outer cylindrical surface section having an axis and opposing bearings aligned with said axis. The outer cylindrical surface section being provided with a first plurality of interengaging surfaces. The tiltable joint also includes a second joint portion that includes a joint housing provided with a pair of axially-aligned receiving surfaces, and an inner cylindrical surface provided with a second plurality of interengaging surfaces configured to interengage the first plurality of interengaging surface. The joint member of the first joint portion is configured for being housed within the joint housing of the second joint portion. Further, the tiltable joint includes first and second shaft portions that extend in alignment with the pair of axially-aligned bearings. Additionally, the tiltable joint includes a fixation means.

    摘要: The invention is directed to an outdoor device, preferably a string trimmer, having a hinged pole for folding the string trimmer. The hinge has an easy to use lock that allows for repeated folding of the trimmer for easy transport and storage. The string trimmer has a battery at a rear end of the pole near the handle, and a motor at a front end on the cutting head. An electrical cable is run from the battery to the motor to provide power to the motor. The hinge provides a protective sheath around the cable to protect it from damage when the string trimmer is folded and the cable might otherwise be exposed. Additionally, the string trimmer includes a guard around the cutting head that contacts a battery housing to secure the string trimmer in a folded position.

    摘要: A mount for mounting a case of a handheld electronic device to a vehicle includes an arm comprising a pair of arm members, first and second coupling member engaged with the arm for adjustably coupling the device to the vehicle, a spring and a fastener for adjustably securing the two arms together. The fastener is rotatable between a first position in which the arm members are rigidly secured together and the first and second coupling members are rigidly secured to the arm and a second position for adjusting the first coupling member and the second coupling member relative to the arm. The spring biases the arm members towards each other when the fastener is in the second position.

    摘要: A device for providing a lockable modular connection between two parts, the device includes a first element for connecting to one of the parts and a second element for connecting to the other part. The first element includes a rod secured to a ball joint. The second element includes a housing containing the ball joint. The device has an inner space between an inner face of the housing and a peripheral face of the ball joint, and a locking element arranged between the housing and the ball joint. Motifs are arranged on the peripheral face of the ball joint and/or on the inner face of the housing. The locking element consists of a hardened material that fills the entire inner space and with regard to which the motifs form abutments in order to hold the ball joint in a fixed position in the housing.

    摘要: A foldable clamp-on desk lamp with a multi-angle adjustment function includes: a lamp base part, a clamping base, several supporting rods, and detachable rotating shaft assemblies through which the several supporting rods are movably connected and the lamp base part is connected to the uppermost supporting rod. The lowermost supporting rod is detachably connected to the clamping base. The detachable rotating shaft assemblies can achieve folding and telescopic functions, complete disassembly, repeated disassembly, assembly and change, and long service life. By the design combining a Fresnel lens and convolutional lines, light is continuously scattered and recombined when passing through the convolutional lines, so that the outgoing light is more uniformly, soft, and not dazzling. A plurality of inserting holes are formed at the upper side and top end of the clamping base, thereby facilitating multi-directional assembling of the supporting rods and achieving wide application of the clamping position.
