Abstract: A locking device is disclosed for preventing rotation of one component relative to another component to which it is connected. The locking device comprises a locking plate having a component engaging portion to engage one component, A surface of the locking plate is grooved to engage with a grooved surface carried by the other component. One or more fixing holes are provided for one or more fixing members to be passed through, to force the grooved surface of the locking plate into engagement with the grooved surface carried by the other component.

Abstract: A method of providing a flanged component and a flanged component constructed by such method. The method includes providing a shaft, providing a flange with an aperture, passing the aperture of the flange over the shaft and securing the flange to the shaft. The flange may be provided at one end portion of the shaft and a connector may be provided at the other end portion of the shaft to connect the flanged component to another component. The connector may be, for example, an integral flange, a further flange with an aperture or a threaded end portion of the shaft.

Abstract: A card carrying case for one or more credit cards consisting of a first member hingedly connected to a second member, each of the first member and the second member having an exterior panel, an interior panel and a dividing panel, the exterior panel and the interior panel being mateably connected to the dividing panel to form a pair of cavity sections, the cavity sections having dimensions to receive at least one credit card. Each of the dividing panels is disposed between and mateably connected to the exterior panel and the interior panel. Each of the exterior panels and the interior panels consisting of an inner surface having a pair of rib portions extending generally therefrom, and wherein each of the dividing panels consisting an upper surface and a lower surface, each of said upper surface and said lower surface having a pair of channel portions extending therefrom.

Abstract: A connection module for connecting instrumentation equipment to a fluid container. The connection module includes a jointed tapping connector. A connector includes first and second opposed jaw members. The connector includes a receiving space located substantially between the jaw members for receiving a protruded portion of a corresponding connector. The first jaw member includes a hook portion for hooking onto a formation of the protruded portion. The second jaw member includes a locking member or an opening for slideably receiving a locking member. A connector includes a protruded portion configured to be received in a receiving space between first and second opposed jaws members of a corresponding connector. The protruded portion includes a formation for receiving a hook portion of the first jaw member. The protruded portion also includes an opening or a locking member configured to slideably engage with an opening of the second jaw of the corresponding connector.

Abstract: A credit card case has a sectioned structure providing capacity for two or four or more credit cards. Each section provides an area to receive and store two cards and includes an outer panel with a smaller central opening, an inner panel with a larger central opening, and a central dividing panel to separate the cards. The central dividing panel is longer than the inner and outer panels so as to provide a receiving area for the cards. The inner side walls of the card holding areas are tapered near the receiving area to further provide for easy insertion. A separation and retention means is provided towards the top of each card holding area to further assist with card insertion and to prevent unintentional card removal.
