Abstract: Various embodiments of the teachings herein include an axle receiving arrangement for fixing to an axle comprising multiple components movable in opposite directions with respect to an axle received by the axle receiving arrangement. The multiple components are parts of a tensioning side or compressing side of the axle receiving arrangement. There is a tension bracket movable on the tensioning side, the tension bracket including a thread in engagement with a thread of a nut. The thread of the tension bracket on a tension bracket upper part, starting on an underside of the tension bracket upper part and terminating below an upper side of the tension bracket upper part. A circumferential annular gap on the upper side of the tension bracket upper part is defined by the termination of the thread below the upper side.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a latch for arrangement on a door and locking the door relative to a door frame is provided. The latch comprises an attachment part configured to be arranged on the door, a latch shaft extending from the attachment part, and a cam arranged on the latch shaft, wherein the latch shaft, when the latch is arranged to the door, is rotatable relative to the door to rotate the cam between an open position in which the door is openable relative to the door frame, and a closed position in which the door is locked to the door frame. The cam can be in an open state or in a locked state, and the axial position of the cam on the latch shaft is adjustable when the cam is in the open state.

Abstract: Various embodiments of the teachings herein include an axle receiving arrangement with components that can move in opposite directions and in each case move in the direction of an axle that is received by the arrangement. These components can be part of a tensioning side or a compressing side of the arrangement. The arrangement has at least two components that can be combined with one another and one of said components is in contact with the axle surface participates in a positive-locking and non-positive locking fixing of the axle by the axle receiving arrangement and the other of said components ensures the movability in the direction of the axle. The components in the combined state enclose a gap between on the one hand convex and on the other hand concave curved surfaces.

Abstract: Apparatus, methods and systems for nano/micro machining. A lathe head has a microscopic pivot aperture for seating a conical tip. The conical tip is carried on a turnable part at one end thereof and is polished down to a microscopic apex. The microscopic pivot aperture is dimensioned for seating the concentric tip in the pivot aperture such that an apex of the conical tip protrudes through and beyond the aperture to a position in close proximity with the aperture. A driver system can comprise a rotator for axially rotating the turnable part, including the conical tip seated in the pivot aperture, and a forward pressure applicator for concurrently applying forward pressure to the conical tip in the direction of the pivot aperture. A light/particle beam system can be utilized to machine the rotating conical tip and the rotating turnable part, including the tip, can be easily removed after machining.

Abstract: A radial arm router table is provided which utilizes a carriage to mount a router. The carriage is moveable along a radial arm to allow the router to cut a groove in a panel placed on the table. A guide arm is pivotally mounted for clamping against the panel to hold it in place during cutting operations. The guide arm also includes a groove within which a guide follower mounted on the carriage travels to stabilize the router near the router bit to ensure that the router bit travels along a straight path.

Abstract: A vise clamp in which a movable jaw fits between and is slidable along a pair of guide rails of the vise base on surfaces normal to the clamping faces of the vise jaws and in which the novel movable jaw is tiltable to release and engage with a tension adjusting screw. The engaging surfaces on the movable jaw and the side rails are arranged to obtain force couples which hold the movable jaw in square position under load.
