    摘要: The present invention relates to a modular vehicle frame (1) for an electric vehicle, comprising a plurality of extruded profiled beams (16, 17, 18, 19), which have, at least in portions, a substantially identical cross-sectional area, wherein: at least one connecting element (6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14) for an electric motor (2), a steering system (3), a cooler unit and/or a suspension system (4) can be arranged on the plurality of profiled beams (16, 17, 18, 19) by means of a frictional and/or interlocking connection; each profiled beam (16, 17, 18, 19) has a main direction of extension (76); each profiled beam (16, 17, 18, 19) has at least three channels (60, 62, 64) along the main direction of extension (76) which are formed by at least two projections (29) within the profiled beam (16, 17, 18, 19); each channel (60, 62, 64) forms a central axis (78) along the main direction of extension (76); a mounting plane is defined by the central axes (78); and the modular vehicle frame (1) has at least one fastening unit (66) which is designed to fasten the profiled beams (16, 17, 18, 19) substantially orthogonally to the main direction of extension (76), or substantially orthogonally to the main direction of extension (76) in the mounting plane.

    摘要: A wall-mounted flagpole extension device is provided. The device is comprised of a base plate comprised of at least a first receiving point and a primary and secondary flagpole. The flag can be attached to the primary flagpole to be flown at a full-mast position. When a user desires to display the flag at a half-mast position, a user can attach the secondary flagpole to the end of the primary flagpole to give the appearance that the flag is now being flown at half-mast.

    摘要: A modular framing system has a plurality of spanning members, at least some of which are hollow and have a predetermined nominal wall thickness, fasteners, and a plurality of joiners that are each securable to two or more of the hollow spanning members. Each joiner has connection portions, and at least one web portion that interconnects an adjacent pair of the connection portions, and has a minimum thickness that is greater than the predetermined nominal wall thickness of the hollow spanning members. Each connection portion has through holes for fasteners to secure the joiner to spanning members. The web portion spaces the respective adjacent pair of connection portions, and spanning members secured to the adjacent pair of connection portions are non-parallel and lie in a common plane.

    摘要: A connector for attachment of two frame elements in a framing system has a connector body of similar rectangular section to the frame elements. A flat inner engagement face of the connector body engages with a flat end face of a first frame element, and essentially forms an extension of the first frame element. An outer engagement face of the connector body is substantially parallel to the inner engagement face and in use abuts against a flat side wall of a second frame element. The outer engagement face has two outwardly projecting lips along opposite side edges of the connector body at the outer face. Each lip has a curved inner face for engagement with opposed radiused edges at opposite sides of the flat side wall face of the second frame element. A flat outer face of the lip forms an extension of a side wall of the connector body and provides a smooth transition between adjacent side walls of the two frame elements. Thus, advantageously, there is no groove forming a dirt trap between the two frame elements when they are interconnected.

    摘要: A method includes disposing a first shaft and a second shaft in an end to end arrangement, positioning a sleeve over the end to end arrangement, coupling the sleeve to the first shaft via a first set of fasteners extending through a first set of radial holes in the sleeve and into the first shaft, coupling the sleeve to the second shaft via a second set of fasteners extending through a second set of radial holes in the sleeve and into the second shaft, and allowing the sleeve to self adjust the alignment between the first shaft and the second shaft while transmitting torsional, translational, or torsional and translational loading through the first set of fasteners and the second set of fasteners.

    摘要: An adjustable drop includes an inner casing, the inner casing comprising: a distal end; a proximal end opposite the distal end, the proximal end comprising a shouldered segment; and a threaded segment between the distal end and the proximal end, the threaded segment starting at the shouldered segment and extending along the inner casing towards the distal end, the shouldered segment defining an outer radius that is greater than an outer radius of the threaded segment; and an outer casing surrounding the inner casing, the inner casing and the outer casing including corresponding threading to permit rotation between the inner casing and the outer casing to adjust an axial height, along a lengthwise axis of the adjustable drop, of the inner casing.
