Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure are directed toward apparatuses, systems, and methods for releasably connecting a first beam to a second beam. The apparatuses, systems, and methods may include a locking pin arranged on the first beam and configured to actuate between an unlocked position and a locked position and an arm coupled to the locking pin and extending parallel therewith. The apparatuses, systems, and methods may also include a sleeve arranged on the second beam and configured to receive the locking pin in the locked position to releasably secure the first beam to the second beam.
Abstract: A mounting device (21,22,23) for anchoring a machine element (11) coaxially on a rotarty shaft (12). The device fits between the machine element and the shaft and is effective to position the element at any desired position longitudinally of the shaft and at any angular position circumferentially of the shaft. The device has similarly tapered inner (21) and outer (22) segmented sleeves, so that relative axial displacement of the sleeves effects radial expansion and contraction of the combined elements. At one end (29) the inner sleeve cooperates with a nut (23) to effect the axial displacement of the sleeves. The outer sleeve has separate segments (36) coupled with said nut to permit limited pivotal movement of the segments. In another embodiment (FIG. 6), the sleeves (121,122) are constructed to avoid relative rotation between the sleeves by a locking portion (146). In a third embodiment (FIG.
