Abstract: The present invention relates to a pressure-applying telescopic spacer formed by two attached tubes telescopically coupled to one another with sheet metal rings pushed by a spring for establishing a wedging and driving of the sheet metal rings on the inner tube and blocking the axial movement of the latter with respect to the outer tube. The assembly of sheet metal rings and push spring being located in a head belonging to a sleeve with anchoring devices for the fixing thereof on the outer tube. The body determined by the sleeve and the head or expansion forming a handle for manually handling the spacer. Support plates are connected with movable devices for adjusting the spacing length of the spacer itself to the desired measurement are included at the ends.

Abstract: A television mounting system includes a wall plate, at least one monitor arm mountable on the wall plate, and a locking mechanism including a rotating locking element permanently connected with the monitor arm. The rotating element is moveable, by rotation of the rotating element a portion of a revolution, between an unlocked position for enabling dismounting of the at least one monitor arm from the wall plate, and a locked position for preventing dismounting of the at least one monitor arm from the wall plate. The rotating element includes a first side having a different height than a second side. In the locked position of the locking element, the first side is less of a distance from a contact portion of the wall plate than a distance the monitor arm must be moved for dismounting the monitor arm from the wall plate, such that the locking element contacts the contact portion before the monitor can be moved for being dismounted from the wall plate.

Abstract: A display device includes a support part. The display device also includes a display main body coupled to the support part and tiltable relative to the support part. The display device further includes a first friction member coupled to the support part and configured to generate a first frictional force when the display main body is titled back and forth relative to the support part. In addition, the display device includes a second friction member configured to generate a second frictional force when the display main body is tilted relative to the support part at a predetermined angle or more.

Abstract: A cup body of a suction cup includes a flattenable curved disc portion made of a first elastic material, and an elastic cup portion made of a second elastic material and having the disc portion embedded therein. The first elastic material is stiffer than the second elastic material.

Abstract: A clamp described herein can secure a solar cell array to a seam of a standing seam metal roof. The clamp has a cam that is rotated by the tightening of a bolt to cause the cam to engage the seam. The clamp also has a receiver for receiving the seam and the rotated cam. By installing the clamp on the seam, the solar cell array can be secured to the standing seam metal roof without drilling into the roof. Because no screws are required to be drilled into the rooftop, the damage to the rooftop is substantially reduced. Also, by reversing the process described above, the clamp can be uninstalled in a similar fashion.

Abstract: A suction apparatus is provided, including a suction disc unit, a shell base unit, a push obstruct unit and a flip unit. The top surface of the suction disc unit includes an upward extending traction element, with vertical surfaces forming a first teeth surface and a second teeth surface. The shell base unit is located on top of the suction disc unit. The push obstruct unit and the flip unit are located inside the shell base unit, where the flip unit is meshed with the first teeth surface and the push obstruct unit is meshed with the second teeth surface. When the flip unit is flipped downwards, the central area of the suction disc unit is dragged up so that the suction disc unit can attach to a surface via suction force. When the flip element is flipped upwards, the obstructing condition of the push obstruct unit is released so that the suction disc unit restores to a normal position.
