    摘要: A fastener includes a shank and an annular body. The shank is arranged about an axis of rotation and includes an external thread having a thread pitch and a thread lead angle to a plane normal to the axis of rotation. The annular body includes an annular face and a cam annular face. The annular body is received about the shank and arranged about the axis of rotation. The cam annular face includes a ramp and a shoulder. The shoulder includes a base, a crest, and an axial thickness extending from the base to the crest. The axial thickness is greater than the thread pitch. The ramp inclines between the base and the crest at a slope angle to the plane. The slope angle is equal to or greater than the thread lead angle.

    摘要: An accordion toilet plunger with disposable cover assembly includes an elongated handle and an attached accordion head having an open end defined by a circular rim opposite the elongated handle. A plurality of pleats is formed between the elongated handle and the open end, defining an interior volume. A flexible plastic bag having closed end and an open end is provided. The bag has an interior volume enclosing the accordion head and at least a portion of the elongated handle. A portion of the closed end of the flexible plastic bag is received within the interior volume of the accordion head. A securing ring is moveable between an expanded condition and a contracted condition to expand around and contract against the circular rim and secure the flexible plastic bag to the circular rim.

    摘要: A start/service aircraft battery system including a housing on wheels/dolly for convenient movement to a space adjacent an aircraft to be started/serviced. An electrical output cable is carried by the housing and attachable to the aircraft to be started/serviced. A control panel on the housing includes a start/service switch having a start position and a service position. A starting battery and a larger service battery are carried by the housing, the starting battery being coupled to the electrical output cable through the start/service switch in the start position and the larger service battery being coupled to the electrical output cable through the start/service switch in the service position. The starting battery is removably attached to the start/service aircraft battery system for individual starting operations.
