    摘要: In various representative aspects, an assembly for securing a support bracket to rail guide used for mounting and installing solar panels is provided. More specifically, the assembly provides a novel and improved nut with a serrated surface in combination with a t-bolt with a serrated surface that is capable of penetrating the respective oxidation surface layers of the bracket and the rail guide when installed. When installed, provides a mechanism for using the bracket to connect the rail guide to a flashing that is typically installed on a roof. An alternate embodiment of the nut also includes rotational and vertical stabilizing features that prevent the nut from moving along the bracket once it is secured. By employing the apparatus at various locations along the roof in a linear fashion, the rail support structure can be properly installed so that an array of solar panel modules to be installed.

    摘要: A tool-free blade change system in one embodiment includes a handle, an arbor bolt including a keyed portion configured to mate with a keyed bore of the handle to restrict rotation of the handle with respect to the arbor bolt, a blade washer defining a plurality of washer teeth which enmesh with the body teeth so as restrict rotation of the handle with respect to the blade washer in one direction while allowing rotation of the handle with respect to the blade washer in another direction, and a biasing member configured to bias the handle downwardly toward the blade washer, wherein the handle is axially movable with respect to the blade washer between a first position whereat the plurality of body teeth are enmeshed with the plurality of washer teeth and a second position whereat the plurality of body teeth are spaced apart from the plurality of washer teeth.

    摘要: A mount apparatus for a frame member is provided. The mount apparatus includes a bolt and a retainer. The bolt includes a head, a shank extending from the head, and a tang extending radially from the head. The retainer includes a reactive plate fixing the retainer against rotation relative to the frame member and an engagement slot defined by the retainer having a first wall disposed to prevent positive rotation of the tang.

    摘要: A lock nut system includes a nut, a keeper engagement with the nut to inhibit movement of the keeper relative to the nut, and a keeper retaining member. The keeper has a radially inner side configured to engage a shaft to inhibit rotational movement of the nut relative to the shaft when the keeper engages the nut and a radially inner side engages the shaft. The keeper retaining member is secured to the keeper and is engageable with the nut to hold a keeper axially such that keeper is engaged with the nut. A cover member is located on an opposite side of the keeper retaining member relative to the nut and engaged to the keeper retaining member to inhibit a separation of the cover member from the keeper retaining member in such that that the separation of the cover member from the keeper retaining member provides a visual indication to a user.

    摘要: A ratchet nut assembly includes an inner member, an outer member, and a spring clip. The inner member includes an outwardly extending tooth. The outer member is positioned around a portion of the inner member and includes an inwardly extending pawl. The pawl is engageable with the tooth to rotate the inner member with the outer member in a first direction when a torque applied to the outer member is below a predetermined value and is operable to deflect outwardly to allow rotation of the outer member relative to the inner member in the first direction when the torque applied to the outer member is above the predetermined value. The pawl is engageable with the tooth to prevent rotation of the outer member relative to the inner member in a second direction. The spring clip is positioned around a portion of the outer member to limit deflection of the pawl.

    摘要: The anti-theft fastener has a shearing head, a shaft and a fastening element. The shearing head has at least one shearing tab. The shaft is threaded and connected the shearing head. The fastening element is mounted around the shearing head and has an outer surface having a countersink and at least one shearing recess. The countersink is formed in the outer surface around the connecting hole. The at least one shearing recess is formed in countersink, and corresponds to the at least one shearing tab, and each shearing recess has at least one shearing surface, whereby the at least one shearing tab is broken off by the shearing surface of the fastening element.
