| 20090016807 | Assembly apparatus for modular components especially for upholstered furniture - A connector assembly is used to connect subassemblies such as parts of a knockdown or modular sofa or similar item of furniture. The furniture item can be an upholstered item in which the multiple components are stackable into a volume that is smaller than the assembled item of furniture for shipping. The connector assembly includes a keyhole slot on a frame member in one component and a male connector assembly on a frame member in the other assembly. The male connector includes a sleeve with a cylindrical shank and an adjacent enlarged or conical portion, and the sleeve, which may be plastic, is mounted the bolt. The narrow section of the keyhole slot has a beveled surface and as the sleeve progresses into the narrow section, engagement of the conical sleeve section with the beveled slot surface tightens the two members being attached. | 01-15-2009 |
| 20100266331 | Retention assembly and a method of operatively securing a hub and wheel assembly to an axle of a selectively movable assembly and method for eliminating frictional interface wear between a bearing and a bearing retention device - A hub and wheel retention assembly | 10-21-2010 |
| 20110002730 | ARTICULATED DEVICE BETWEEN LINKAGE ASSEMBLY SUPPORT ARMS OF A COLLAPSIBLE ROOF - An articulated device includes a rivet assembly for connecting first and second linkage assembly support arms together at common ends thereof such that the arms are movable relative to one another. The rivet assembly includes a rivet having first and second rivet heads and a rivet shaft. The rivet shaft extends through first and second bearing holes in the common ends of the arms with the first rivet head being on the first arm and the second rivet head being on the second arm. The rivet assembly has a bearing sleeve extending between the rivet shaft and the bearing holes. The bearing sleeve has a collar-type stop and a shoulder-type stop adjacent the first rivet head with the collar-type stop lying against the first arm and the shoulder-type stop lying against the first rivet head. The bearing sleeve has a ring-shaped stop lying against the second rivet head. | 01-06-2011 |
| 20110013970 | SYSTEM HAVING A HIGH AXIAL STIFFNESS SWIVEL JOINT - A system includes a support, an actuator and a swivel joint coupling the actuator to the support. The swivel joint includes a first base member, a second base member, and a spider positioned between the first and second base members. The spider includes a center support and first and second bearing support elements. Each bearing support element has an arcuate surfaces adapted to form joints with the first and second base members. In one embodiment, at least one shim element disposed is between at least one of the first and second bearing support elements and the center support. | 01-20-2011 |
| 20110070019 | JOINT - A joint includes a first retaining base, a connecting rod, a positioning plate, and at least two elastic members. The connecting rod is movably connected to the first retaining base. The positioning plate is fixed to the connecting rod. The at least two elastic members are disposed between the first retaining base and the positioning plate. The at least two elastic members are arranged along a circumference of the connecting rod. | 03-24-2011 |
| 20110110707 | Connection Arrangement For Connecting A Sickle Drive To A Sickle - A connection arrangement for connecting a sickle drive with a sickle ( | 05-12-2011 |
| 20110188922 | QUICK COUPLING FOR DRIVE SHAFT - A quick coupling for a shaft includes a male coupling having a locking portion with a locking groove formed thereon. A female coupling includes a female body having an interior surface bounding a socket. A tapered port is formed on the female body and extending from the exterior surface to the interior surface thereof. The locking portion of the male coupling is received within the socket so that the tapered port is aligned with the locking groove. A ball bearing is disposed within the tapered port so that a portion of the ball bearing can project into the socket and into the locking groove. A locking sleeve is slidably mounted along the female body so as to cover and interact with the ball bearing. | 08-04-2011 |
| 20120070222 | SHAFT COUPLING APPARATUS - A shaft coupling apparatus is provided in which a cylindrically-shaped hole is provided on a leading end surface of a shaft, the hole having a central axis that is different from a rotational central axis of the shaft, and a cylindrically-shaped hole is provided on a leading end surface of a shaft, the hole having a central axis that is different from a rotational central axis of the shaft. The shafts are coupled by pressure fitting a cross-sectionally circular pin in the hole and by loosely fitting the pin in the hole, the pin corresponding to an inner diameter of the hole and the hole. | 03-22-2012 |
| 20130045040 | Pin Joint Having an Elastomeric Bushing - An elastomeric bushing can be incorporated into a pin joint assembly of a machine. The elastomeric bushing can be configured to allow at least three degrees of relative rotational movement, including roll, pitch, and yaw. The elastomeric bushing can rotate with respect to a pin about a longitudinal axis thereof. The elastomeric bushing is adapted to accommodate out-of-plane movement. The elastomeric bushing can include a plurality of alternating elastomeric layers and metal plies. | 02-21-2013 |
