Abstract: There is provided a bracket for a biological sample analyser. The bracket comprises abase and an arm extending from the base, the base being engageable with a platform of a biological sample analyser, wherein, when the base is engaged with the platform, the arm extends into a sample plate bay of the biological sample analyser prohibiting access to a portion of the bay. The arm thereby limits misalignment of a sample plate in the bay by blocking access to a portion of the bay only required when the sample plate is loaded into the bay in an incorrect orientation. A biological sample analyser comprising a bay in which a sample plate is loadable in use and the bracket is also provided.

Abstract: A clamping device for securing a removable truck cap to the cargo bed of a truck to inhibit horizontal slippage of the cap relative to the truck bed. The device has two clamping members and a clamping pad which interlocks with the truck cap. The clamping members compress the clamping pad to hold the truck cap against the truck cargo bed wall.

Abstract: A clamp includes a pair of relatively movable clamping members carrying clamping pods for engaging articles and holding them together. One of the members includes an arm having larger and smaller cross-sectional portions with a bore extending therethrough. The other member includes an arm which slidably engages the arm of the other member through a tongue-and-groove connection. A bore in the arm of the other member is coaxial with the bore in the other member. A rotatable fastener extends through one of the boxes and is threadedly engaged with the other bore. The larger cross-sectional area stiffens the member at its weakest point thereby permitting materials such as plastic to be used in the manufacture of the clamp. The tongue-and-groove connection assures alignment of the members during clamping.

Abstract: A clamp having a L-shaped body member and a U-shaped body member laterally shiftably connected relative to one another by a bolt. The bolt is threadably connected through aligned holes in the center of the two body members and adjusts the distance between them upon turning the bolt.

Abstract: A step attachment adapted for mounting to the body of a van or similar vehicle. The step includes a bracket fitted within a recess in the vehicle body and a step-defining cover which is supported atop horizontal flanges of the bracket.
