| 20090297260 | Coupling For A Medical Instrument - A coupling for a medical instrument for connecting two lines, with a first coupling part, and with a second coupling part which can be inserted into the first coupling part in the longitudinal direction of the coupling parts. The coupling comprises first locking elements arranged on the first coupling part and second locking elements arranged on the second coupling part, the first locking elements being movable between a locking position, in which they engage with the second locking elements, and an unlocking position, in which they disengage from the second locking elements. The coupling further comprises retaining elements which are arranged on the first coupling part and which are movable between a retention position, in which they keep the first and second locking elements in engagement with each other, and a release position, in which the first and second locking elements can be disengaged. It is proposed that the first coupling part comprises a slide which is movable in the longitudinal direction thereof and which, upon insertion of the second coupling part into the first coupling part, is moved from an advanced position to a recessed position, that the slide is biased into the advanced position, and that sealing elements are arranged on an end of the second coupling part directed towards the first coupling part which in a state in which the first coupling part is connected to the second coupling part, seal off an interior of the coupling with respect to a fluid. | 12-03-2009 |
| 20100047012 | Quick Disconnect Ball Socket End Fitting - A coupling member for pivotally coupling an end of a device to a mounting ball includes a body connectable to an end of the device and defines a socket for receiving a mounting ball. The body further includes slots communicating with the socket. A sliding element arranged in a longitudinal groove of the body is movable from a first position to a second position. A C-shaped spring has two ends and a center section, the ends being received through the slots and projecting into the socket for holding the mounting ball in the socket. The sliding element interacts with the center section of the spring when the sliding element is moved to the second position so that the ends of the spring are drawn out from the socket to release the mounting ball from the socket, whereby the mounting ball is releasable from the socket without external tools. | 02-25-2010 |
| 20100226714 | Screw-free release mechanism - A screw-free release mechanism comprises a first article disposed with an elastic arm and a first guide unit in which the elastic arm is coupled to a first end of a releasing arm. A second end of the releasing arm is disposed with a buckling unit and the first guide unit guides a moving direction of the releasing arm. When the releasing arm is moved toward a first direction thereof, the elastic arm will be caused to deform to generate an elastic force pushing the releasing arm to move toward a second direction thereof; entire components of the releasing mechanism are few, the structure is simple, and the releasing arm can then be allowed to assemble conveniently onto an article without needing screws. Whereby, the assembly efficiency and the production yield factor of the release mechanism can be elevated so as to reduce the production cost. | 09-09-2010 |

The resisting portion resists the fastening portion, and the elastic catching tab catches the main portion. A second angle formed by the joining portion and the catching portion is less than a first angle formed by the main portion and the fastening portion. | 01-13-2011 |
| 20110091272 | WEIGHT SELECTING POP-PIN - A pop-pin and a method for using the pop-pin with a weight-training machine to perform mixed-weight sets of exercise are disclosed. A pop-pin having a spring loaded into an unstable equilibrium position can be inserted into a weight stack to select a weight and vertical guide bar while another conventional pin is inserted into the same weight stack and the vertical guide bar at a position above the pop-pin. A user can then operate the weight-training machine, at which point the spring on the pop-pin is dislodged from the unstable equilibrium position and presses on the weight plate into which it is inserted. When the weight stack is lowered, thus reducing the load of weight on the pop-pin, the force of the spring pressing against the weight plate ejects the pop-pin from the weight plate. At this point, the user can continue the exercise with the smaller stack. | 04-21-2011 |
| 20120148340 | BICYCLE FOLDER WITH SELF-LOCKING DEVICE - The present invention relates to a bicycle folder with a self-locking device, which can lock the handle of the folder, consists of front and rear folding leaves of the folder and a quick release handle. The quick release handle is mounted on the front folding leaf of the folder, and tightly locked on the front and rear folding leaves of the folded folder after they are folded. A locking buckle is provided on said quick release handle, and a locking tongue is provided on a bicycle tube. The locking tongue is locked in the locking buckle of the quick release handle which can tightly lock the folder. Said locking tongue is composed of a position limit handle and a handle shaft, and has a certain clearance from the bicycle tube. The present invention can reduce structure precision requirements of a four-link adjustment mechanism or other adjustment means in the quick release handle, avoid the unexpected trigger of the handle, and prevent the accidents of the releasing of the handle and the loosening of the folder. By the cooperation between the inclined surface and the weight block of the position limit handle, a self-locking function is easy to realize. A locking force is then increased under the torsion action of a torsion spring, thus enabling the self-locking structure to be safer. | 06-14-2012 |
