Abstract: A recreational structure, such as a trampoline frame, can be quickly and reliably assembled using a coupling member generally having a âTâ configuration. A first arm member and a second arm member are disposed in an opposite relationship with each other. The first and second arm members each receive one end of a horizontal frame member of the recreational structure. The third arm member includes flange members that receive one end of a vertical frame member of the recreational structure and one end of a vertical pole member of, for example, a safety enclosure.
Abstract: A separation fastener assembly including a base and a housing positioned adjacent the base. A nut is disposed in the cavity. A bolt extends through an aperture in the base and including an end coupled to the nut. A washer is positioned proximate the nut and operative to retain the nut within the housing. The washer includes a plurality of segments. An actuator is carried by the housing and is in communication with the cavity. The actuator is operative to displace the housing relative to the washer from a first position radially retaining plurality of segments of the washer and retaining the nut in the cavity to a second position permitting radial expansion of the plurality of segments and permitting withdrawal of the nut from the housing.
Abstract: The present invention relates to a class of compounds represented by the Formula I: or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, pharmaceutical compositions comprising compounds of the Formula I, and methods of selectively inhibiting or antagonizing the ?V?3 and/or the ?V?5 integrin.
