| 403043000 | ROTARILY CONNECTED, DIFFERENTIALLY TRANSLATABLE MEMBERS, E.G., TURN-BUCKLE, ETC. | 11 |
| 20140294484 | LOW FRICTION BEARING ASSEMBLY AND LINK APPARATUS - A link apparatus includes a tubular member that retains 90% of ultimate tensile strength at a temperature of up to 625°. Two conical adapters are mechanically joined to respective ends of the tubular member. Two rod ends include a threaded shank and a socket. One threaded shank is threaded into a right hand threaded base of one conical adapter, and the other threaded shank is threaded into a left hand threaded base of the other conical adapter. Each of the sockets have a bearing assembly disposed therein including an outer race, a ball disposed therein, and a low-friction liner disposed between the outer race and ball for mitigating moment loading on the tubular member. The cross-sectional area of the tubular member is about equal to the cross sectional area of the rod ends. The tubular member is tensionable by rotation relative to the rod ends. | 10-02-2014 |
| 20160003289 | Filament Wound Composite Tie Rod - A filament wound composite tie rod and method for fabricating the same includes end fittings coupled to a structural member tube and held by a filament-wound structure. The end fittings include lugs to guide and hold the filament at proper angles while holding the filament in place on the end fittings. The filament wound composite tie rod provides both higher tension and/or higher compressive load carrying capability than existing tie rods at a significantly reduced weight. | 01-07-2016 |
| 20160115982 | Building Block Structure - A building block structure includes a joint adaptor unit and at least one connection bar. The joint adaptor unit includes one or multiple joint adaptors, each of which includes at least one screwing connection end that includes a right/left-hand combined threaded hole formed therein. The right/left-hand combined threaded hole includes multiple right-handed screw troughs and multiple left-handed screw troughs that are alternately arranged. The connection bar has one end having multiple spaced right-handed external threads and an opposite end having multiple spaced left-handed external threads. As such, when the connection bar is rotated in a given direction, the right-handed external threads and the left-handed external threads are simultaneously screwed into the right/left-hand combined threaded holes of two oppositely facing joint adaptors. Through rotation in an opposite direction, the right-handed external threads and the left-handed external threads are simultaneously disengaged from the right/left-hand combined threaded holes. | 04-28-2016 |
| 403044000 | Having tool-engaging means or operating handle | 2 |
| 20090232588 | Fastening Mechanism - A fastening mechanism for connecting posts or other objects together is described. The mechanism consists of a housing ( | 09-17-2009 |
| 20120003032 | TIE ROD - A structural unit, e.g., a tie rod, that has a tube which is provided with an internal thread, on at least one surface thereof, which is threaded in a first rotational direction, and into the end of which a threaded sleeve is screwed. The threaded sleeve has an internal thread which is threaded in a second direction, opposite to the first rotational direction, and has a shank screwed into the sleeve. The entire threaded sleeve is accommodated within the tube, and the threaded sleeve has a coupling contour on the opening side of the tube. A method of applying the structural unit such that, by rotating the threaded sleeve within the tube, the shank and the tube are moved in opposite directions. In the method, the coupling contour of the threaded sleeve serves to introduce the torque required for rotational motion of the threaded sleeve by way of a tool or an adapter. | 01-05-2012 |

| 20100034578 | TURNBUCKLE - A turnbuckle for an anti-skid chain that can be mounted on the wheel of a vehicle. A tension cable is connected inside the turnbuckle housing to a winding roll that is pre-stressed in the winding-up direction and mounted so that it can be rotated about its axle. A ratchet wheel with at least one ratchet catch allocated to it is provided on the winding roll and the tension cable can be blocked against its direction of tension by gripping of the ratchet catch into the ratchet wheel. The ratchet catch is moved at least incrementally outwards from the idle position when the wheel isn't moving, in which it is disengaged from the ratchet wheel and the tension cable is not blocked, under the action of the centrifugal force upon rotation of the wheel, and this movement effects a gripping of the ratchet catch into the ratchet wheel. | 02-11-2010 |
| 403046000 | Having locking means | 3 |
| 20090169291 | QUICK ACTION TURNBUCKLE - An adjuster for use with a sailboat which permits rapid movement of a movable end with respect to an opposite fixed end. A threaded shaft extends through the adjuster and a rotating barrel in fixed to a nut engaging the shaft. A lock is positioned about a lower body of the adjuster and releasably engages the barrel. Engagement of the lock and the barrel permits barrel to be turned to change the length between the fixed and movable ends. Releasing engagement of the lock and the barrel permits the barrel to rotate freely about the shaft and permit rapid movement of the movable end with respect to the fixed end. | 07-02-2009 |
| 20120224913 | PUSH/PULL ROD - The invention relates to a push/pull rod ( | 09-06-2012 |
| 20150132044 | LOCKING QUICK CONNECT FITTING - A locking quick connect fitting allows for the easy attachment and detachment of stays and rigging on sailboats and other related applications. The invention eliminates the need to handle clevis pins and cotter pins when setting up or tearing down the rigging of a sailboat, and especially for the standing rigging of a trailer able sailboat. A more secure lockable device is provided that is less susceptible of being dislodged by the rubbing action of passing lines and sheets. Further, it can be tightened by wrench for even more security. In addition, the fitting helps keep the connection secure even if in the unlocked state and resists the snagging of passing lines. The presented invention is also designed to be modular and readily connectable to the rigging or fittings on existing sailboats. | 05-14-2015 |
