Abstract: A system comprising a plurality of blocks is disclosed. Each block has a cuboid body and a connecting member extending away from each corner of the cuboid body, such that for each connecting member there is a first opposed connecting member, a second opposed connecting member and a third opposed connecting member, and a connector engagement arrangement is defined between a connecting member and each of the first, second and third opposed connecting members. The system also comprises a plurality of connectors, each connector having a body with a first connection end for engagement with a connector engagement arrangement of a first block and a second connection end for engagement with a connection engagement arrangement of a second block so as to connect the first block to the second block.

Abstract: A collapsible wheeled cart for carrying cases comprises a handle, a support platform for a carrying case pivotally connected to a lower end of the handle, a pair of wheel arms each having an outer end carrying a wheel and an inner end pivotally connected to the lower end of the handle, and an actuator operable to effect movement of the platform and wheel arms in unison from a non-deployed position in a collapsed configuration for the cart to a deployed position in an expanded configuration for the cart. The actuator is operable by a user applying a single manual operative motion to the actuator, which serves to expand the depth and width of the cart when it is placed in the expanded configuration from the collapsed configuration.

Abstract: An automatic draw bar for removably securing machine tools carried by a tool holder within the spindle of a milling machine or the like, in which the tool holder is formed with an internally threaded bore. The spindle is provided with an elongated bore having a recess at its end to receive the shank of the tool holder. A hollow draw bar is slidably carried within the spindle and is exteriorly threaded at one end with a thread engagable with the tool holder interior thread. An elongated draw bar expander slidably carried within the draw bar and responsive to a source of linear power is adapted to couple the threads on the draw bar and tool holder to draw the tool holder into frictional engagement with the spindle upon activation of the power source.
