Abstract: A post joint assembly and a method are provided. The assembly includes an upper cup member having a flat top wall, a tubular wall, a flange portion, and a threaded stud. The assembly further includes a lower cup member having a parabolic dish portion, a tubular portion, and a beaded edge portion. An outer surface of the parabolic dish portion is disposed against an inner surface of the flange portion of the upper cup member such that the threaded stud extends through a first hole in the lower cup member. The assembly further includes a tensioner cup having a second hole with the threaded stud extending therethrough. The assembly further includes a nut threadably coupled to the threaded stud such that the nut urges the tensioner cup against the lower cup member, and further urges the lower cup member against the upper cup member.
Abstract: A hose stand assembly includes a plurality of rings that is each positionable around a fuel hose. A plurality of legs is each of the legs is pivotally disposed on a respective one of the first portion and the second portion of a respective one of the rings. Each of the legs is positionable in a deployed position having each of the legs extending downwardly from the respective ring. In this way each of the legs can support the respective ring above a support surface. Thus, the rings and the legs support the fuel hose above the support surface when the fuel hose is extended through the respective ring. Moreover, each of the legs associated with each of the rings has a unique length with respect to each other to orient the fuel hose at a downward slope for enhancing the flow of fuel in the fuel hose.
Abstract: An electronic device includes a chassis housing one or more electronic components, a module configured to be inserted into a channel defined by the chassis, and an alignment mechanism disposed in the channel. The alignment mechanism has a body portion that defines an aperture. When the module is initially inserted into the channel in a first orientation, a first portion of the module passes over the aperture and compresses the body portion of the alignment mechanism along a first axis, to allow the module to be fully inserted into the channel. When the module is initially inserted into the channel in a second orientation, a second portion of the module passes through the aperture and does not compress the body portion of the alignment mechanism along the first axis, to prevent the module from being fully inserted into the channel.

Abstract: A pipe-support device is used to retain a pipe in a desired position and orientation. The pipe-support device has a baseplate, a support platform, a set of channels, and a weatherproof coating. The support platform is attached to the baseplate and function as a force distribution system that transfers the weight of the pipe into the baseplate. The channels traverse into a support surface of the support platform. Thus, creating trenches within which the pipe rests. The support platform is constructed from a semirigid material that facilitates retaining the pipe in a desired position. The weatherproof coating is an impermeable liner that isolates the support platform and the baseplate from hazards in the external environment. Thereby, providing a robust device designed to resist damage due to external environmental factors.
Abstract: An apron including two sleeves for fitting around the rails of a straight ladder or an extension ladder to aid a worker, such as a roofer. The apron includes one or more pockets and loops for storing building materials and tools. A soft and flexible material is used to construct the apron so that it may be folded for convenient storage when not in use.
Abstract: The embodiments relate to a geometric under structure, central and outer hub for a GFN plastic chair base. The geometric shape and dimensions are critical components to the overall strength of the chair base hub and arms when either vertical or rotational forces are applied at the central hub. The central hub is of sufficient thickness to maintain dimensional stability when the forces are applied. The overall geometry and material composition enable the hub area to be constructed with minimal plastic wall thickness while optimizing the physical strength of the article and facilitating high production rate.

Abstract: A ladder caddy assembly includes a box that has a sloped side that is positionable against a back set of legs of a folding ladder when the folding ladder is deployed. A mount is coupled to the box and the mount comprises a leg and a foot. The leg rests on a top step of the ladder for retaining the box on the ladder. The foot rests against a front set of legs of the ladder to inhibit the box from sliding away from the ladder. A pair of stops is each coupled to the box. Each of the stops abuts against the back legs of the ladder thereby inhibiting the box from sliding laterally off of the ladder.
Abstract: A sliding tool assembly for a vehicle includes a sliding member configured to be slidably connected to a first accessory track of a vehicle. A base member is rotatably connected to the sliding member and rotatable about a first rotation axis. A first beam member is rotatably connected to the base member and rotatable about a second rotation axis. A second beam member is rotatably connected to the first beam member and rotatable about a third rotation axis.
Abstract: In accordance with various embodiments of the invention, a support assembly or apparatus is disclosed that strengthens the planar load support of planar surfaces supported at the ends.
Abstract: A sliding device includes a fixed rail, a movable rail, a shutter to close an opening of the fixed rail, an engaging body including a pressed portion, an engaged portion, a resilient element, and a pressing portion provided to the movable rail or the shutter. The shutter is slidable relative to the fixed rail by receiving a force from the movable rail. The engaging body is provided to one of the shutter and the fixed rail, and the engaged portion is provided to the other. The engaging body is displaceable between an engaged position where it is engageable with the engaged portion and a disengaged position displaced from the engaged position. The resilient element produces a resilient force maintaining the engaging body in the engaged position. The pressing portion contacts with the pressed portion when the movable rail slides, thus displacing the engaging body to the disengaged position.
