Abstract: A coupler for a standoff arrangement for ladders and the like. The standoff arrangement comprises a ladder attachment portion and a ladder support portion, with the attachment portion formed to be releasably securable to a ladder and the support portion extending from the ladder attachment portion. The ladder support portion has a pair of individually adjustable bearing arms, and a coupler is installed in each bearing arm to make the bearing arm universally adjustable in relation to the structure against which the ladder standoff arrangement bears.

Abstract: An apparatus for locking an inner telescoping member into a desired position within an outer telescoping member or sleeve. A locking mechanism is carried by the inner telescoping member and includes locking pins supported for motion between respective retracted positions and respective extended positions engaging detents in the outer telescoping member. A synchronizing ring is operatively connected to the locking pins such that synchronizing ring rotation moves the locking pins between the locking pins' respective retracted and extended positions.

Abstract: A device for locking end positions of switch parts, having two parts, relatively axially displaceable and positively coupled in at least one direction, including a tube and a rod guided within the tube, at least partially arranged in an outer tube. Locking members cooperate with the parts and outer tube and are displaceable into a locking position in the outer tube's recess. Locking members include ring segments chamfered on insides forming first abutment surfaces converging obliquely toward rod axis. First abutment surfaces cooperate with oblique counter abutment surfaces in a rod recess for holding the rod and the tube coupled during the rod's first displacement path and for urging segments outwardly to emerge from rod recess, and to slide onto the rod's outer surface adjacent rod recess and to immerse into locking position in the outer tube's recess upon rod movement relative to the tube over a second displacement path.

Abstract: A fastener for removably securing a protective panel to a structure includes a shaft having a first portion and a second portion. The shaft includes a first opening extending through the second portion of the shaft. The fastener also includes a sleeve sized to fit over the second portion of the shaft. The sleeve includes second and third openings extending through the sleeve that are spaced apart by a distance greater than a thickness of the protective panel to be secured to the structure. The second opening corresponds to the first opening in the shaft and the third opening is located in the sleeve beyond an end of the second portion of the shaft when the first and second openings are aligned. The fastener also includes a first pin that is insertable into the first and second openings and a second pin that is insertable into the third opening.

Abstract: A member-joining device with which, when pipe members etc. are fixed to each other, a sufficient fastening force can be obtained even if the members have thin wall thickness. Member-joining device 8 has a first bridge member, a second bridge member and drawing means 6. First bridge member 81 joins first member 5 having a pair of opposing walls 53, 53 and a second member 31 having a pair of opposing walls 311, 311 and is spanned at a predetermined position of the first member between the opposing walls 53, 53. Second bridge member 82 is spanned at a predetermined position of second member 31 between the opposing walls 311, 311. Drawing means 6 draws first bridge member 81 and second bridge member 82 in the direction where both members are closer to each other. Accordingly, first member 5 and second member 31 are pressed and joined to each other by a drawing force of drawing means 6.

Abstract: A locking device has an enclosure partially securely mounted on a peripheral edge of the outer tube and having a lever pivotally connected to the enclosure; and a positioning rod securely connected to a side of the lever to be driven by the lever and having a head formed on a free end of the positioning rod to correspond to one of the adjusting recesses of the inner tube such that pivotal movement of the lever is able to drive the head of the positioning rod to selectively move away from the corresponding adjusting recess to allow the inner tube to move relative to the outer tube.

Abstract: In a device for locking the end positions of movable switch parts and, in particular, movable cross frogs, in which two relatively axially displaceable parts are capable of being displaced into a position coupled with each other in a positive or positive and force-transmitting manner in at least one direction of movement, the relatively displaceable parts are comprised of a tube (2) and a rod (3) guided within the tube (2) and are at least partially arranged in a stationary outer tube (1). The locking members cooperate with the relatively axially displaceable parts (2, 3) and the outer tube (1) and are capable of being displaced in the radial direction into a locking position in a recess or inner annular groove (5) of the outer tube (1). The locking members are formed by rings or ring segments (6) whose substantially square or rectangular cross sections are chamfered on their two inwardly located sides while forming surfaces (9) converging obliquely relative to the axis.

Abstract: A cable assembly (11) has a conduit (12) and a core element (14) passing through the conduit (12). A terminal assembly (15) is secured to one end of the core element (14). The subject invention incorporates both an interlock device (46) and an adjustment device on the same cable assembly (11). The interlock device (46) is disposed adjacent the terminal assembly (15) and is movable between a release position allowing relative movement between the terminal assembly (15) and the interlock device (46) and an engaged position preventing the relative movement between the terminal assembly (15) and the interlock device (46). The adjustment device includes an adjustment housing (20) partially disposed about a base portion (28) for allowing axial adjustment of the base portion (28) to tension the core element (14).

Abstract: A pipe connector comprising a contour fitting washer, a contour fitting nut, and a bolt is used to connect tubular members of a structure having a modular tubular framework. The pipe connector connects interfitting tubular members wherein one tubular member has an outer diameter approximating the inner diameter of a second tubular member. Each tubular member has a pair of diametrically opposed holes. When the pipe connector is completely assembled, the head of the bolt resides within a centrally disposed recess formed in the washer, and the nut is flush with the exterior of the tubular member. The pipe connector of the present invention is durable, strong, convenient to assemble, neat, and safety oriented.

Abstract: An adjustment assembly (10) for an integral shifter cable interlock is provided. The assembly includes (10) a cable assembly (11) having a conduit (12) defining an axis and a core element (14) disposed within the conduit (12) movable along the axis. A terminal assembly (15) is secured to a portion of the core element (14) and has an aperture (37). An interlock housing (24) is supported by the cable assembly (11) with the terminal assembly at least partially disposed within the interlock housing (24). An interlock device (46) is disposed within the interlock housing (24) and has an armature pin (48) transverse to the aperture (37) for coacting with the aperture (37) and preventing axial movement of the core element (14). The adjustment assembly (10) is characterized by a removable clip (50) interposed between the interlock housing (24) and the terminal assembly (15) for locating the aperture (37) relative to the armature pin (48).
