Embodiments of the invention generally provide a wearable hat that contains an interchangeable advertising media location positioned on an exterior portion thereof. The interchangeable advertising media location is generally configured to receive an advertising media logo that may be quickly and easily removed and replaced with a different advertising media logo. The respective advertising media logos may be removable secured to the advertising media location via magnetic securing means, Velcro®, or other means of removably securing an advertising object to an article of clothing.

An apparatus includes: a first clamping mechanism having a first hollow portion that includes a first gripping die portion disposed therein and a second hollow portion that includes a second gripping die portion disposed therein such that a first well drilling component is positioned therebetween; a wedge-shaped plate positioned above the first clamping mechanism and including a first end having a notch formed therein and a second arcuate end having gear teeth formed therein; a second clamping mechanism supported by the wedge-shaped plate and including a first hollow portion having a first gripping die portion disposed therein and a second hollow portion having a second gripping die portion disposed therein such that a second well drilling component is positioned therebetween; and a drive mechanism. Operation of the drive mechanism rotates the wedge-shaped plate and the second clamping mechanism through about a 90° range of motion.

Quick change blow mold tooling includes a pair of mold cavity blocks that cooperate to define a series of blow cavities. The tooling further includes a pushup plate having a series of bottom contours that plug the otherwise open bottoms of the cavities when the pushup plate is against the bottom of the mold blocks. Each mold block is quickly attached to and detached from its supporting back plate using studs that fit into receiving holes on the back plate and cam locking shafts that are accessible from opposite side edges of the back plates. The back plates thus remain secured to platens of the bottle forming machine during change out of the tooling. Similarly, the push up plate has a pair of locking studs projecting from the underside thereof that are received within socket members attached to the machine. The socket members are provided with quick release threaded couplers that can be locked and unlocked by hand.

A testing system for electrical interconnects having a removable device under test printed circuit board (DUT PCB) that electrically connects with the electrical testing components of the system. A removable top plate is placed on top of the DUT PCB and is locked in place by a plurality of locking posts that selectively connect to cam surfaces in the top plate that pull the top plate down sandwiching the DUT PCB between the top plate and the electrical testing components of the system. An actuator is also presented that presses the device under test into the electrical interconnect at increments where tests are performed on one, some or all of the contact points of the electrical interconnect. This information is then analyzed and graphed to assist with determine the optimum force and / or height to use during actual use.

A microphone support and enclosing windscreen has microphone supports curving about 270 degrees about an axis with upper and lower fingers to grip the microphone above and below the longitudinal axis of the microphone. The microphone supports move along an upper rail of a connector. First and second cage portions have longitudinal ribs connected to circular rings forming a windscreen support, with base rings on each cage portion connected to a bracket to encircle the microphone and its supports during use. One of the cage portions moves along the connector and rotates to allow access to the microphone.

An integrated lifting apparatus for attaching to a sling has a generally horizontal base and at least one upright post extending from the base. Each post is generally hollow and has a cut-away upper surface, as well as a vertical slot near such upper surface. A horizontal bore extends through each post near its upper end. A threaded bolt having an enlarged head on one end, preferably constructed of high strength and / or shear resistant material, is inserted through each bore and the loop of a sling. A lock nut is threaded onto the end of the bolt to secure the bolt in place.

A wire coil holder and dispensing device that contains one or more coils of electrical or other wire of any size and dispenses wire as needed by the user. A cylinder between upper and lower side walls rotates and dispenses wire. Wire of any gauge or coil size may be loaded onto the device. The side walls of the device prevent the wire from uncoiling in an unregulated manner, while the cylinder on which the coil is mounted only turns when the user pulls the free end of the coil, thus preventing excess wire from being dispensed. Additionally, the device contains a variety of hard points on the outer side walls, which allow the device to be mounted or affixed if desired, however, the wire, may be dispensed without need of mounting.

A single box call having a plurality of replaceable soundboard inserts and a plurality of replaceable lids having different sound characteristics, selectively used in combination together for producing distinctly different sounds that imitate turkey calls. The box call includes a housing having two receiving slots for receiving soundboard inserts, and a sound adjuster engageable with one or both soundboard inserts to vary the sound. There is a connecting means for releasably connecting the lid to the housing.

The present invention relates generally to a modular locking and retaining mechanical design solution to reliably secure immersed, unrestrained and un-powered objects in a fluid environment to a fixed support surface such as a mounting frame or panel, with a quick connect / disconnect engagement method by a diver (i.e. manual mate) or remote-operated vehicles (ROVs) mate, into a fixed mounting frame or panel installed at a subsea deployed platform for oil and gas offshore applications.

This invention provides an improved casino gaming table in which the fabric-covered playing surface may be quickly and easily removed and replaced with minimum disruption of play on the casino floor.

A testing system for semiconductor chips having a removable device under test printed circuit board (DUT PCB) that electrically connects with the electrical testing components of the system. A removable top plate is placed on top of the DUT PCB and is locked in place by a plurality of locking posts that selectively connect to cam surfaces in the top plate that pull the top plate down sandwiching the DUT PCB between the top plate and the electrical testing components of the system. The DUT PCB is quickly and easily removed and replaced by moving the locking posts between an engaged position and a disengaged position. In this way, a single testing system can be used to test a great variety of semiconductor chips thereby reducing capital equipment costs and space needed in cleanrooms.

A portable tool comprising a hollow body delimiting two chambers and comprising a shoulder and a barrel extending from the shoulder. A piston slides in the chambers and a stem is secured to the piston and is accommodated in the barrel. A C-shaped head with a first end forms a shoe which presses against the shoulder and in which is created a bore into which the barrel fits, and with a second end facing the free end of the stem. A fastening system comprises a channel on the barrel perimeter. Two sliders are slidably mounted on the shoe parallel to a plane of movement which is perpendicular to the axis of the barrel. Each slider has an arc shaped face and movable between a retracted position in which the face is accommodated in the channel and an extended position in which the face is outside the channel.
