Abstract: A mechanism and method of confirming engine timing in an internal combustion engine includes two embodiments, which delay the rotation of the camshaft until confirmation that the engine is properly timed based upon the sensors provided by the electronic control systems of the motor vehicle. In one embodiment, a cam gear assembly is joined to the camshaft to enable proper confirmation that the engine is properly timed before enabling the rotation of the camshaft. In a second embodiment, a gear assembly is used in conjunction with a crankshaft. The crank gear assembly includes an outer ring and an inner ring. A brake is provided in the inner ring to prevent movement until sensors in the vehicle have confirmed proper timing of the engine.

Abstract: An apparatus is disclosed for drawing two plates together having a lever with a handle portion and a camming portion. The camming portion circumscribes a pin located therein and is adjacent to a cam washer that provides a surface against which the camming portion can slide. A screw is inserted through the pin and extends through the camming portion and the washer so that it may be inserted and threaded into mounting holes provided on a sporting implement. The screw is inserted through a hole in a binding plate and is threaded into mounting holes provided on a sporting implement. The screw is hand tightened into the sporting implement by hand, and then the cam lever is pivoted. As the cam lever is pivoted, the cam portion slides within the cam washer and vertically displaces the screw, thus drawing the sporting implement tightly against the binding plate.
