Abstract: A diaphragm pump having a crankshaft that is rotatable about a rotational axis and coupled to a piston. The piston is reciprocally displaceable within a piston cylinder along an axis of motion between suction and discharge strokes. A diaphragm housing coupled to the piston cylinder at least partially defines a pumping chamber through which fluid is pumped as the piston reciprocates. The axis of motion, which intersects a connection between the piston and the connecting rod, may not intersect the rotational axis of the crankshaft such that, relative to an arrangement in which the axis of motion does intersect the rotational axis, a peak magnitude of piston side load forces during the discharge stroke is reduced and a peak magnitude of piston side load forces during the suction stroke is increased so as to attain an improved balance between the peak magnitudes of piston side load forces of the discharge and suction strokes.

Abstract: A hanging non-traditional weight adapter which is designed to hang containers (buckets, juice jugs, detergent bottles, etc.) from an elongated cylindrical weight lifting barbell. The device is comprised of a modified cylindrical hollow head which is capable of sliding and hanging on to a weight lifting barbell in a style while the dual-sided frame, which is attached by design within the cylinder but additionally secured by fasteners, briefly extends out and diverges into two curvilinear yet rounded hooks on one side vertically and a curvilinear yet rounded clasp on the opposite side horizontally. In addition, the cylindrical hollow head features a rounded yet narrow depression at the midpoint around the circumference of the device to secure the handle of a bucket. All features were integrated within the device to either embrace or hang a container by its dimensions or features in various ways to be safely used as a non-traditional free weight adapter during resistance training.

Abstract: A device designed to hang free weight dumbbells from the end of an elongated cylindrical lifting bar. The device is comprised of a cylindrical hollow head which is capable of sliding and hanging on to a barbell, while the openly hollow C-shaped support inferior to the neck of the device is free to safely support a free weight dumbbell during resistance training.

Abstract: An anti-derailing device for a sliding door, including slide rollers on upper edges of two sides of the sliding door, anti-bounce rollers below the slide rollers, rail supporting bases on a fixed door in front of the sliding door, and a rail fixed on opposite outer sides of the sliding door and the fixed door and clamped between the rollers. Each roller includes a fixed part and a first adjusting part which includes a first eccentric roller combined with the fixed part, each roller includes a fixing part and a second adjusting part which includes a second eccentric roller combined with the fixing part, and each rail supporting base includes a positioning part and a holding part for holding the rail. By adjusting positions of the rollers and without pre-machined holes, the sliding door can operate balanced and smoothly and prevent the rail from derailing.
