Abstract: A pin has a shank with a spherical lead-in portion at the free end thereof. The spherical lead-in portion has a diameter that is equal to or slightly less than the diameter of a cylindrical portion of the pin. The purpose of the spherical lead-in portion is to allow a greater portion of the pin to enter a matching hole before further alignment of the centerlines of the pin and the hole is required. This makes aligning the centerlines significantly easier and reduces wear on the structure defining the matching hole. A relief portion following the spherical lead-in portion as well as a chamfer following the relief portion aid in the final alignment.

Abstract: A short and simple telescoping turnbuckle is formed by threadedly engaging three parts including a first end, a second end and a length adjuster. The first end includes a connection portion such as a hook or a ring and a threaded shaft. The second end includes a connection portion and a internally threaded tubular potion. The length adjuster includes a cylinder having internal threads to engage the shaft of the first end and external threads to engage the tubular portion of the second end. The length of the telescoping turnbuckle may be altered by rotating the length adjuster about the rotational axis of the turnbuckle.
