  • Patent number: 11566651
    Abstract: A journal bearing for centering a misaligned pin is disclosed. The journal bearing includes an outer bushing defining an outer bore. The outer bore is offset with respect to an axis of rotation of the journal bearing by a misalignment distance. The misalignment distance represents a distance between the axis of rotation of the journal bearing and a center axis of the misaligned pin. The journal bearing further includes an inner bushing defining an inner bore. The inner bore is offset with respect to the axis of rotation of the journal bearing by the misalignment distance. The inner bushing is seated within the outer bore of the outer bushing. The inner bushing and the outer bushing are both configured to rotate relative to one another to center an inner periphery of the inner bushing around the misaligned pin.

  • Patent number: 5187744
    Abstract: A hand-held portable telephone holder for releasably holding a hand-held portable car telephone has two laterally adjustable fingers disposed upon one side of a substantially planar body and two spring biased fingers pivotally disposed upon the opposite side of the body such that a hand-held portable telephone may be positioned intermediate the first and second fingers and grasped under spring tension thereby. The hand-held portable telephone is disposed intermediate the first and second fingers by first placing the hand-held portable telephone in contact with the second fingers and utilizing the hand-held portable telephone to urge the second fingers to pivot outwardly against spring tension, thus increasing the distance between the first and second fingers. The hand-held portable telephone is then disposed in laminar juxtaposition to the body of the holder.

  • Patent number: 5118058
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a universal adjustable mount for use as a work support device which comprises a base, a split housing rotatably mounted to the base, a post, and a split bushing for releasably receiving the post and for selectively gripping the post. The bushing is mounted within the housing for turning movement about an axis, and the housing, the bushing and the post are selectively arrestable and subsequently releasable upon actuation of a single clamp device. The interior of the housing is formed so as to maintain the bushing in its arrested orientation relative thereto. The device further includes a leaf spring mounted between the bushing and the housing which is operable to snug the bushing against the housing during actuation of the clamping means to the locked position.
