Abstract: A clamping system includes a mast, a bracket clamp engageable with the mast, the bracket clamp including a receiver for receiving a sign, a compression assembly for compressing the mast and the receiver towards each other, and a compression element movable relative to the receiver by the compression assembly, the compression element contacting a side surface of the mast via a plurality of contact features, each contact feature contacting the side surface of the mast at a distinct location on the side surface of the mast.

Abstract: A support element includes a bore; a boss surrounding the bore and having an offset surface at an angle to the bore axis; and a counterbore formed opposite the boss relative to the bore and substantially coaxial with the bore, having a counterbore surface substantially orthogonal to the bore axis and a counterbore angled surface at an angle to the bore axis and corresponding to the offset surface. A bolt, including a head portion received in the counterbore and a threaded portion received at least partially within the bore, couples an illumination device to the support element, such that the illumination device is capable of being pivoted about the bore axis and a transverse axis orthogonal to the bore axis.

Abstract: A clamping system includes a mast, a clamping body engageable with the mast, the clamping body including a plurality of side surfaces, a compressive member for compressing the mast and one of the plurality of side surfaces towards each other, and a vertical support member, the vertical support member disposable between the one of the plurality of side surfaces, the mast, a second of the plurality of side surfaces and a third of the plurality of side surfaces, the one of the plurality of side surfaces, the second of the plurality of side surfaces, the third of the plurality of side surfaces and the mast each facing a different side of the vertical support member when the vertical support member is disposed between the one of the plurality of side surfaces, the mast, the second of the plurality of side surfaces and the third of the plurality of side surfaces.

Abstract: A folding system includes a folding mount rotatably attached to a handle, the folding mount being selectively positionable in a folded state and an extended state, a bolt rotatably connecting the folding mount to said handle, a bore formed in the handle, the bolt being disposed at least partially within said bore and the bore defining a bore axis, a boss and a counterbore formed in the handle, the boss including a boss surface substantially perpendicular to the bore axis and a boss angled surface offset from the boss surface by a first acute angle, the counterbore including a counterbore surface substantially perpendicular to the bore axis and a counterbore angled surface offset from the counterbore surface by a second acute angle.

Abstract: The instant disclosure provides a push latch having a pivotally mounted blocking hammer including a head with a lever arm extending away from the head to a counter-weight. Under normal operating conditions, the hammer is held in an inert/balanced condition. Under such normal conditions, a portion of the hammer head may be in periodic contact with a resin of tacky character defining a bumper to aid in dampening vibration. Upon the occurrence of a high impact force, the rotational force provided by the counterweight is sufficient to cause the hammer to rotate into blocking relation relative to the latching mechanism so as to prevent unlatching. In the rotated condition, the counterweight may be in contact with an optional resin of tacky character defining a bumper to reduce rebound action.

Abstract: A rotary damper with a toothed wheel gear projecting away from a housing having snap-in connection structures disposed on opposing sides of the wheel gear. The wheel gear may be inserted through a panel opening having a pair of opposing transverse slots. In the assembled condition, the housing with the connected wheel gear may slide linearly in the longitudinal direction of the slots to permit self-adjustment relative to an operatively connected mating gear. Proper meshing relation between the wheel gear and the mating gear is thereby maintained.
