Abstract: A self-adjusting seal for sealing a joint. The joint includes a support member, a mis-alignable component, and a changeable gap between the support member and the mis-alignable component. The seal includes a first part having a generally annular configuration formed of a resiliently crushable material and defining a planar outer seal face to statically seal to the support member and a first seal part opening extending therethrough. A second seal part axially adjoins the first part. The second seal part has a generally annular configuration formed of a rigid material and a second seal part opening extending therethrough in axial alignment with the first seal part opening. The first and second seal part openings define a non-rotation feature to prevent rotation of the seal on the support member, the second seal part defining a planer inner seal face configured to dynamically and sealingly interface with the mis-alignable component.

Abstract: The invention relates to a slide bearing comprising with a bearing opening (4) pertaining to a hinge-housing component (2) and a flange bearing box (6) pressed into said bearing opening (4), whereby a bearing pin (26) can be inserted and rotated therein. Said flange bearing box (6) has a crimped projection (50) which projects radially inwards in the direction of the periphery. In order to create a slide bearing which can be preassembled, said slide-bearing is formed such that said crimped projection (50), when viewed from a longitudinal section of the box forms as a curved region (52) in the wall of said flange bearing box (6) in the vicinity of the axial end of the bearing opening (4) and said curved region (52) projects into the flange (16) of the box (6) in such a way that a space (h) is created between the opening (4) and of the bearing outer side which faces the flange bearing box (6) in the region of the curved profile prior to insertion of the bearing pins (26).

Abstract: A positioning pivot including a shaft, at least one sleeve and at least one hinge butt is able to prolong its lifespan by inserting the sleeve between the shaft and the hinge butt after a combination of the shaft and the hinge butt is accomplished. Due to an opposite difference between an orientation of a helical slit defined in the sleeve and a helical groove defined in an outer periphery of the shaft, lubricant added to the helical groove is able to be disperse to other portions of the shaft when the sleeve is securely retained within the hinge butt and the shaft is rotated. Additionally, a portion of the shaft is configured to be hollow, so that even when a relationship between the portion and the sleeve is loosened, a dimension of the portion of the shaft is able to be enlarged by an adjusting element to regain tight relationship between the portion of the shaft and the sleeve again.

Abstract: An improved structure of the bearing base for a foldable hex-key wrench set. The both ends of the bearing base are mounted with several hex-key wrenches respectively. The bearing base comprises two bearing plates formed into L-shaped members. The two bearing plates may be set, with bolts, at different widths by means of bolts having different lengths so as to mount on the bolts a different number of wrenches; therefore, one bearing base can accomodate different wrench set having different number of hex-key wrenches.
