The carrier includes at least one coil spring held captive preferably in compression between two spaced apart brackets, one of which is pivotally connected to the end of the link adjacent the slide. The point of pivotal attachment of the link to the scissor arm is spaced from the linkage pivot to create a moment about the pivot tending to resist collapse of the linkage when force from the spring is communicated to the linkage.

Abstract: A mounting system for securing a first component compliantly with respect to a second component has a flywheel mounted rigidly with respect to one of the components and compliantly with respect to the other component for rotation in a plane normal to the direction of movement of the first component towards the second component. One or more spring elements acting between the other component and the flywheel drive the flywheel upon movement of the first component towards the second component.

Abstract: A panel holder is disclosed for hanging posters and other sheet material and which can be either wall mounted or suspended from a ceiling. The holder includes two longitudinal extruded panels each having a longitudinal C-shaped flange situated along one of the panel edges. One flange is inserted within the other one to form a longitudinal interlocking hinge connection. The panels are movable with respect to each other in a transverse direction about this hinge coupling between an open and a closed position. The flanges are dimensioned in such a way that rotation of the panels with respect to one another in the transverse direction results in one of the flanges being elastically deformed during the first part of the motion, with the resulting stored elastic energy being abruptly released during the second part of the panel motion, thereby giving rise to the holder snapping open or closed.

Abstract: A fence post anchor that adjusts for vertical post alignment by providing a post engagement support portion that swivels on a ground securing portion. The post engagement portion is defined by a split box sleeve secured to an adjustment dome. A fastener assembly interconnects the adjustment dome to the ground engagement portion that has multiple engagement flights on which the dome can be movably positioned and secured thereto.

Abstract: The knee bolster structure to be mounted on an instrument panel 13 comprises a panel 2 and a stay 3 for supporting the panel 2, while the stay 3 is composed of a stay main body 4 and patch 5 so disposed on the stay main body 4 as to cover the stay main body 4. In a vehicle collision, the stay 3 is deformed starting from notches 8 respectively formed in the stay main body 4 but, during the deformation of the stay 3, the leading end side 11 of a top plate 9 provided in the patch 5 is butted against the bottom surface 6 of the stay main body 4, thereby being able to prevent stresses from being concentrated onto the notches 8. Also, since the wall portions 7 of the stay main body 4 are held by the side walls 10 of the patch 5, they are prevented from being opened outwardly. Due to this structure, the drag of the stay 3 or the knee bolster structure can be stabilized, so that shock energy caused in the vehicle collision can be absorbed efficiently.

Abstract: A support bracket or camera tripod mount serves to support a camera tripod by attachment to a center post of the tripod and to allow the tripod with camera attached to be hung from a vertical structure such as a fence. The support bracket includes a crosspiece member which is approximately horizontal in use, first leg portions extending in parallel, perpendicular to the cross-piece member to first elbows. Intermediate leg portions are connected to each of the first elbows which may rotate relative to the first leg portions. Distal leg portions extend in parallel to the first leg portions and are fixed to ends of the intermediate leg portions through second elbows. A set screw fitting is provided in each of the first elbows for locking the intermediate leg and distal leg portions against rotation. A connecting member extends perpendicular from the cross-piece member to a post bracket for attachment to the center post of a camera tripod.

Abstract: The mounting system for mounting the implement to a boom assembly forming part of a construction vehicle, such as an excavator, pedestal boom, and backhoe. A pair of spaced apart side plates include aligned apertures for receiving adapter plugs sized to be received within the apertures and for resisting relative rotation therebetween. Each adapter includes a transverse bore which is sized to receive a first pin member, such that each transverse bore is of an associated pair of adapter plugs defines the pin diameter that will be accepted, as well as partially defining the distance between a first pin member and a second pin member. Each adapter plug defines a flange portion having a surface abuttably engages a side surface of its associated side plate. The flange portions of an associated pair of adapter plugs define thrust surfaces for a boom member coupled to a pin carried by the adapter plugs. The thrust surface may be machinable to adjust the lateral spacing between an associated pair of adapter plugs.

Abstract: A keyboard support mechanism containing a novel articulating arm mechanism for permitting vertical movement of the keyboard shelf. The articulating arm mechanism has six major components: (1) a mounting bracket, (2) a mounting bracket support in combination with a swivel bracket, (3) a shelf bracket, (4) an upper arm, (5) at least one side arm, and (6) at least one stopping means. The upper arm links the shelf bracket and the mounting bracket; the side arm and the stopping means cooperate to keep the shelf bracket (and hence the keyboard shelf) at a constant angle relative to the ground.
