Abstract:
The present invention is directed at a quick release connection system to facilitate customization of golf clubs. It can be used to interchange shafts, removable weights, or soleplates quickly and easily. Teeth are disposed on the inside of a frame so that a shaft may be inserted with minimal resistance, but cannot be removed without specific steps which may require the use of a simple tool. Strengthening and interlock devices are provided to ensure performance quality akin to traditional golf clubs.
Abstract:
A wobble joint fitting for an adjustment device of a motor vehicle seat, in particular for a seat back hinge fitting, comprises (a) a first fitting part comprising an internal ring gear, (b) a toothed eccentric gear that engages the internal ring gear and that has an eccentric hole, (c) an eccentric to which a rotatable drive part is associated and which comprises wedge segments, (d) a second fitting part that is adjustable with respect to the first fitting part, and (e) a wrap spring. The wrap spring is a flat open spring ring and extends over an angle of less than 360°. The eccentric gear comprises a collar for the spring ring to fit against.
Abstract:
A universal mounting mechanism for holding objects, such as electrical, medical, optical or audio/visual components needing secure physical connection to another surface in such a way that the mounted object can be easily and quickly installed and removed. It locks the object by providing surfaces on three planes that firmly engage the object so it does not move during transportation or when mounted on a fixed surface. It is low in profile so it does not obstruct the use of the items being held. The mount has no loose parts that can be lost during installation or removal of the mounted objects. Furthermore, the mount has the added feature of locking into either the open or closed position. Because the range of motion is limited, the top of the mount will not move into a position where it could be damaged or obstruct the use of adjacently mounted items.
Abstract:
A portable support structure including a platform member having a primary platform connector and a secondary platform connector. The primary platform connector is configured to receive a primary support connector. The secondary platform connector is configured to receive a secondary support connector. The support structure also includes a primary support member including the primary support connector and a hook member. In addition, the support structure includes a secondary support member having a first end and a second end. The first end is detachably engaged with the secondary platform connector and the second end is in locking engagement with the hook member. The primary support connector includes structures that engage the primary platform connector and rotationally position the primary support member. The hook member includes a hook portion that engages and prevents the secondary support member disengaging upon a rotation of the secondary support member.
Abstract:
A holder for a panel, such as a light cover in an aircraft, is provided. A mounting section, a shoe receiving section and a pin provide a pin and shoe operation, such that a shoe is slideable onto the shoe receiving section in an open position of the holder, and such that the mounting section and the shoe receiving section are attached to each other by the pin in a closed position for securing the shoe in the holder. A recess or aperture is positioned in the shoe receiving section to receive the pin.
Abstract:
The invention provides a mounting apparatus for releasably securing an accessory to a firearm. The mounting apparatus includes a coupler connectable to the accessory and having a tapered plug with a slot that extends inward from an outer wall of the plug. The apparatus further includes a support base with an internal cavity extending between opposed side walls of the base. The support base has an aperture with an internal wall arrangement including an orifice wherein the aperture is dimensioned for reception of the plug. A keeper is slidably positioned within the internal cavity and has a finger that extends through the orifice and into the slot to retain the plug within the aperture. The apparatus is moveable between a secured position wherein the keeper finger extends through the orifice and into the slot of the plug positioned within the aperture, a released position wherein the keeper finger is disengaged from the orifice, and a detached position wherein the coupler and the accessory are removed from the base by applying a vertical lifting force.
Abstract:
A sideward clipping apparatus aims to clip and release an article through double-depressing actions in cyclic operations. It has a sliding member which includes an upper clipping portion and a lower clipping portion that are coupled through a first base and a second base. The lower clipping portion synchronously drives the upper clipping portion through the first base at an initial force receiving state to form a first fan moving track. The lower clipping portion is in contact with the sliding member and moved vertically to a second position under the force to drive the upper clipping portion through the second base to form a second fan moving track. Thereby the upper clipping portion and the lower clipping portion form a clipping space when the sliding member is moved to the second position to accurately clip the article.
Abstract:
A lock pin with pushbutton-operated axial locking has two locking elements which point in opposite directions and are mounted in radially outwards directed recesses in the body. To ensure a good, wear-resistant pivotal mounting of the two locking elements, combined with good locking action and resistance to shearing, the invention provides that the locking elements create a virtual, freely guided pivoting axis in their connection zone. The result is a pinless mounting of the locking elements.
Abstract:
The invention relates to an operating device for a tool, comprising a frame to be coupled to the boom of an excavator or the like. at least one tool connected to the frame as well as adjusting means for positioning said at least one tool relative to the boom. The object of the invention is to provide a device of the kind referred to in the introduction, which enables a more versatile use and which, as a result of an improved maneuverability of the tool, is capable of carrying out operations also at places that were previously considered to be difficult to reach. According to the invention, the device is to that end characterized in that the adjusting means also comprise a ball and socket joint, which pivotally connects said at least one tool to the frame.
