Abstract: A binder comprising the products of a carbohydrate reactant and polyamine is disclosed. The binder is useful for consolidating loosely assembled matter, such as fibers. Uncured fibrous products comprising fibers in contact with a carbohydrate reactant and a polyamine are also disclosed. The binder composition may be cured to yield a fibrous product comprising fibers bound by a cross-linked polymer. Further disclosed are methods for binding fibers with the carbohydrate reactant and polyamine based binder.

Abstract: A clevis assembly including a clevis body, a clevis loop pivotally mounted on the clevis body, a collar, a fastener, and a set screw assembly. The collar is externally threaded and threads into a counterbore opening in the lower end of the clevis body. The fastener has a circular head portion which is journalled in a bore in the clevis body with the shank portion of the fastener passing downwardly through the collar. A set screw assembly is positioned in a transverse bore in the clevis body extending between the outer periphery of the clevis body and the bore in which the head of the fastener is journalled so that tightening of the set screw assembly engages the head of the fastener to lock the fastener relative to the clevis body and loosening of the set screw assembly allows relative rotational movement between the fastener and the clevis body.
