摘要:
A clasp for a bracelet, which makes it possible to bring together and to fasten together the two ends of a bracelet in a closed position and to separate these two ends of the bracelet in an open position, includes two pairs of interchangeable linkage members for connecting the ends of the bracelet to the body of the clasp, one of the pairs of linkage members being designed for connection to the ends of a flexible strap and the other for connection to the ends of a band of rigid links. Each linkage member is connected hingedly to the body of the clasp by a locking part which can be operated without the use of a tool other than a ball-point pen.

A segmented ring mounting (5) for retaining cylindrical components (2, 3) one within the other in a fluid-operated percussion drill tool, such as a downhole rock drill. The ring mounting also has application to other interengaging cylindrical components which are subject to heavy wear or pressure loading, such as compressors, pumps, borehole tools, casings and drillpipe mountings. The retaining ring (5) seats a smaller diameter cylindrical component (3) within a larger diameter cylindrical component (2), wherein one of the components is formed with a groove (12) or shoulder for seating the retaining ring in use, the ring being capable of radial compression and expansion so as to expand radially into the seating groove or shoulder for retaining the components one within the other in use. The retaining ring comprises at least three segments (7, 8, 9), which when touching end to end form a complete circle, and expansible holding means (11) such as an O-ring, for holding the segments together but allowing the segments to expand radially and move apart by a sufficient amount so as to seat the segments in the groove (12) or against the shoulder.

A connector for interconnecting a pair of adjacent sections of an expandable tubing string includes a plastically expandable sleeve that is arranged co-axially around or inside the ends of the interconnected tubing sections and a series of circumferentially spaced mechanical fasteners, such as screws or rivets, for fastening the sleeve to each of the ends.

A connector (10) for tubular members (12, 14) is disclosed including first and second connector elements (16, 18) each having U-shaped cross sections and jaw members (20, 22). A cam (60) is located between the connector elements (16, 18) which each preferably include a cam trough (52). The first and second connector elements (16, 18) are biased together by first and second O-rings (50) positioned around the connector elements (16, 18). The jaw members (20, 22) can be inserted in longitudinal insertion directions into the tubular members (12, 14) while the cam (60) is in an insertion position and the cam (60) can be rotated to a locked position to separate the jaw members (20, 22) sufficiently to grip the inside surfaces of the tubular members (12, 14) with sufficient force to prevent relative movement therebetween. A spring retainer (92) is held by a pin (100) extending through apertures (42) formed in the jaw members (20, 22) and apertures (98) formed adjacent the free edges of leg portions (94) of the spring retainer (92) which flex outwardly and grip the inside surface of the tubular member (12) when moved opposite to the insertion direction.

A finger joint architecture, method and formation apparatus are disclosed, the finger joint architecture characterized by an array of interspersed projections and cavities formed at an end face of a first wood product. The projections are spaced from one another in both first and second dimensions defining the end face and are formed by the cavities which are bored through the end face. A mating array of projections and cavities is formed at an end of another wood product to be secured to the first wood product. The projections and cavities thus formed are preferably tapered.
摘要:
An angle bracket for joining two section bars has a relatively great stability, especially for use for partitions and safety walls. This stability is achieved by supporting walls that join the two legs of an angle bracket to one another and have an outwardly rounded outside contour. This design is relatively simple and inexpensive to implement and allows these angle brackets to be compatible with known designs.
