The component includes projecting portions to be fitted between the mount members, thus the component can be fixed against coming off by engagement of the second engagement portion and the component. The projecting portions inhibit the mount members engaged with the opening portion from moving, thereby preventing the mount members from coming off the opening portion. Since the fitting member is fitted between the second engagement portions, the fitting member inhibits the second engagement portions from moving to come closer to each other, and from disengagement from the component, thereby more securely preventing the component from coming off | 01-08-2015 |

20150110549 | CONNECTOR FOR CONCRETE BARRIERS - Provided are a connector and a connection system for concrete barriers. The connector is configured to slip-fit into a gap between the concrete barriers, which have a lock that engages the concrete barriers. The connector includes a saddle member and a fork member. The saddle member includes a base to be disposed over the gap and partially atop the concrete barriers. The fork member extends below the base of the saddle member. The fork member includes an elongated base and legs that extend below the elongated base. The legs are to straddle the lock that engages the concrete barriers. | 04-23-2015 |
20150147114 | MULTI-DIRECTIONAL LOAD JOINT SYSTEM - A structural joint includes a first member having a first base portion and a first leg portion. The structural joint further includes a second member having a second base portion and a second base portion. The first base portion and the second base portion are coupled together at an overlapping portion. The first leg portion and the second leg portion form a cavity for structurally coupling to a structural member. | 05-28-2015 |
20150316115 | NESTED CANTED COIL SPRINGS, APPLICATIONS THEREOF, AND RELATED METHODS - A spring assembly having at least two canted coil spring lengths nested together are disclosed. Two sections of coils of a canted coil spring length can each be positioned between two adjacent coils of another canted coil spring. Each section of the coils of the canted coil spring length includes at least one coil and up to several coils or a plurality of coils. The canted coil spring lengths are nested together to increase the deflection force of the overall spring assembly. The spring assembly having two or more nested spring lengths can be used in connector applications. | 11-05-2015 |
20150353144 | Aluminum Alloy Vehicle Structural Component Defining An Out-Of-Plane Aperture - An aluminum alloy vehicle structural component defining an out-of-plane aperture with its main portion. A recessed portion is inset from the main portion having a bed sub-portion out-of-plane with the main portion that defines the aperture. The recessed portion also provides a strain hardened sub-portion, or stiffened ring of material, around the aperture. When the main portion is subjected to in-plane tension due to bending, the strain primarily concentrates along the strain hardened sub-portion (the stiffened ring) and by-passes the aperture. As a result the perimeter of the aperture undergoes less straining than if the aperture was in-plane with the main portion. The out-of-plane aperture, the bed sub-portion surrounding the aperture, and the strain hardened sub-portion surrounding the bed sub-portion may improve the overall structural robustness of the aluminum alloy structural component when subjected to in-plane tension. | 12-10-2015 |
20150376861 | COUPLER WITH UNITARY MOUNTING FLANGES - A coupler for coupling attachments to a construction machine includes unitary mounting flanges for connecting the coupler body and the machine. The unitary mounting flange eliminates machining and/or shimming of the flanges after welding to the coupler body. | 12-31-2015 |
20160003273 | ASSEMBLY OF AN ELONGATE THIN LIP IN AN ELONGATE NARROW SLIT AND USE FOR ASSEMBLING AN AIR GUIDE ONTO A SHROUD - An assembly of a first element, such as a fan shroud, with a second element, such as an air guide, realized by assembling an elongate thin lip belonging to the second element in an elongate narrow slit formed by the three sides of an elongate planar plate attached in parallel to a planar wall of the first element. The elongate thin lip includes a concave edge and includes, at either side thereof, extended tips, and the elongate slit includes, at either side thereof, areas in which the thickness of the slit is increased, configured to engage with the extended tips of the lip so that the insertion of the lip into the slit begins by inserting the tips into the areas and then continues with gradual insertion of the rest of the concave edge of the lip as the lip is being advanced. | 01-07-2016 |

20160136536 | COMPRESSIBLE VERTICAL CONNECTOR - The present invention relates to construction assemblies or modules. There are attachment members that are connected by pressing an elastic protrusion head through an aperture and threading the protrusion head from one side of the aperture to the other. As the area of the aperture is smaller than area of front projection plane of the protrusion head, threading the protrusion head into the aperture requires the deformation of the protrusion head. After traversing the aperture, the protrusion head returns to its non-deformated shape, and the protrusion neck is settled within the aperture. | 05-19-2016 |
