Abstract: A system for anchoring a pipe, such as a train pipe, to the inside of an elongated right angle structural part or member, such as may be mounted on a sidewall of a rail car. The elongated right angle structural part has a plurality of spaced bolt receiving holes extending through one leg and a plurality of pipe anchor bases, with brackets fastened thereto, are attached to the right angle structural member by means of a single bolt extending through a bracket and one of the spaced bolt-receiving holes. Each pipe anchor base may be of the general type found in known pipe anchors as disclosed, for example, in U.S. Pat. No. 2,546,792 dated Mar. 27, 1951, U.S. Pat. No. 2,625,354 dated Jan. 13, 1953 and U.S. Pat. No. 4,222,538 dated Sep. 16, 1980. Once a combined pipe anchor base and its bracket has been installed on the inside of the right angle structural part, relative movement between the anchor base-bracket combination and the structural part will be prevented.

Abstract: A bookrack that moves vertically and horizontally is provided with a chain gear (56) of a reduction motor (55) that turns left or rights by the operation of switches (3, 4). Power is supplied to a rotary wheel (48) to turn an attachment double chain (44). A rotary wheel (40) of a moving body (35) turns motivated by the attachment double chain (44), and a gear (41) connected to the rotary wheel (40) is rotated and engages a rack gear (43). The moving body (35) is thereby made to move in a direction contrary to the attachment double chain (44). A bookrack (80) connected to the moving body (35) is caused to move vertically and horizontally around a right-angled tetragonal track with the moving body (35). The bookrack enables a child, an old or infirm person or a handicapped person to take out or arrange books from a seated position, since the bookrack (80) moves freely and is kept horizontal at all positions as the moving body (35) moves the bookrack (80) horizontally and vertically around the track.

The legs are welded to opposite sides of the beam so as to diverge from one another at an acute angel and so as to angle outward and downward from the beam at an acute angle from the vertical when the beam is oriented horizontally. An angle bar welded to each leg and extending between the legs to stabilize the legs and to provide a step. A steel scaffolding retainer welded to an outer end of the beam and extended above a top edge of said the so as to prevent scaffolding from moving beyond the outer end, and a steel mounting plate is welded to an inner end of the beam so as to provide a bearing surface for the inner end.

Abstract: An automotive vehicle includes a lock mechanism for locking a seat slide unit on which a vehicle seat is mounted or a seat reclining unit mounted on the vehicle seat. A screw rotatably mounted on an upper rail is in mesh with a nut secured to a lower rail or mounted on a seat back frame. Each of the screw and the nut has a lead angle greater than an angle of friction thereof so that the screw can rotate in response to a load applied to the vehicle seat or a seat back, thus enabling adjustment of the position of the vehicle seat in a direction longitudinally of the vehicle body or that of the angle of inclination of the seat back. If deceleration or acceleration of a value not smaller than a predetermined value is applied to the vehicle seat, the screw is urgently locked to thereby maintain the current position of the vehicle seat or the current angle of inclination of the seat back.

The chambers are for housing corresponding parts or portions of the joint. Two circular holes are provided for the passage of two tubes connected by the joint. The parts of each one of the caps is connectable to each other in a fixed but removable way.

Abstract: A pilfer-resistant peg hook assembly for supporting a plurality of articles incorporating defined slots and enabling only one article at a time to be removed therefrom is formed of a peg hook and a flipper. The peg hook has a pair of opposed ends and a body connecting the same. One of the hook ends is configured and dimensioned to maintain the hook body in a substantially horizontal first plane when mounted on an appropriate surface, and the other of the hook ends is a free end. The hook body is configured and dimensioned to be received in the slots of the articles and extends only in the first plane. The flipper is pivotably secured adjacent the free end and is movable between an enabling orientation enabling at least partial passage of an article along the hook body and onto the flipper as the article initially moves towards the free end, and a blocking orientation precluding passage of an article onto the flipper as the article moves towards the free end.

Abstract: Output reduced by a reduction mechanism A contained within a tube type motor body 5 is transmitted to a threaded shaft 13, and a nut 15 having a wing element 15a for transforming rotation of the threaded shaft 13 to propulsion is threadingly engaged with the threaded shaft 13. Then, reduction and boost is made between a linear groove 16a of a guide member 16 secured to an inner wall of the body 5 and the rotation is transmitted to the body 5 by this rotational force, thereby an arm 17 provided on the body 5 is swung so that a base 3 is adjusted upwardly and downwardly about bearing members 2, 2a mounted on slide rails 1, 1. Owing to this arrangement, since a smaller installation space can be achieved, the apparatus can be made small in size and commonly used for various types of automotive vehicles. Moreover, the apparatus can be unitized. In addition, a high torque transmission is made possible by reduction and boost.
