A base plate with a ring of holes is secured to any existing sports board. A flat rotatable plate, supporting a board boot binding, has a two-position spring-loaded locking shaft which locks down in one of the holes to secure the boot binding at a desired stationary angle and alternately locks up out of the holes for free rotation. A semicircular arc in one plate dividable into two smaller arcs by a movable stop limits rotation of a safety pin from the other plate alternately to one or the other of the smaller arcs. A downwardly extending ridge around the periphery of the rotatable plate overlaps the base plate. There is a low friction surface between the two plates, an inner grease ring to keep dirt out of the inner shaft, a leash hole and leash on the L-shaped locking mechanism to aid in its operation, and a rotatable position indicator that aids the user in locating their desired angular position, an elevated lock ring to prevent icing or water buildup in the locking holes, and a series of holes in the base plate that allow the user to preset the amount of desired rotation between the plates.

A push-to-open and push-to-close latch mechanism for a latchable structure includes a protrusion movable in an arc and a push-push latch configuration that moves in an arc while opening and closing the structure.

A winding mechanism for a window blind includes a base having two slideways, a rotation member rotatably mounted on the base and having an outer wall formed with a threaded guide portion, and a guide seat having an inner wall formed with a threaded guide hole screwed onto the threaded guide portion of the rotation member and an outer wall formed with two guide posts each provided with a roller slidably mounted in a respective slideway of the base. Thus, when the lift cord is wound around the rotation member, the guide seat is movable successively on the rotation member by guidance of the roller, so that the lift cord is wound around the rotation member serially and smoothly by guidance of the guide seat, thereby preventing the lift cord from being tangled.

The present invention provides a baby stroller folding device comprising an upper stroller frame, having a bendable handle installed at an upper end of the upper stroller frame; a lower stroller frame, with an upper end coupled to the upper stroller frame, and having a front wheel leg of a front wheel and a bendable step pipe disposed at the bottom of the lower stroller frame; a rear wheel leg, disposed separately on both sides of the upper and lower stroller frames, and having the rear wheel installed at the bottom of the rear wheel leg, a first slide member installed at the middle of the rear wheel leg, a pull rod installed between the first slide member and the upper and lower stroller frames, and a latch rod disposed at an upper end of the rear wheel leg; a folding joint, installed separately between the upper and lower stroller frames and the rear wheel leg, for coupling and positioning the upper and lower stroller frames, and the rear wheel leg having internal and external gear discs with a notch each and selectively latched and detached with respect to the latch rod; and a link mechanism, installed between the two rear wheel legs, and having a plurality of pipe frames, slide members, link rods and a start element, and the start element being coupled to the latch rod by a steel rope, such that the baby stroller folding device can fold the baby stroller in longitudinal and transversal directions at the same time smoothly by a simple operation.

The present invention relates to methods for conducting maintenance on chromatography columns used in industrial-scale chromatography. In particular, the invention is concerned with safer methods for performing maintenance on such columns, such as cleaning and replacing bed supports, distributors, nozzles, O-rings and other column components, by the use of a handling device to support, lift, carry and manipulate such column components.

An opening and closing mechanism that attaches a cover body to a main body in a manner that the cover body is pivotably opened and closed, includes: a pin provided in one of the main body and the cover body; a link member pivotably provided in the other of the main body and the cover body, the link member having a first guide groove in which the pin is inserted and the pin slides during closing and opening of the cover body with respect to the main body; and a close motion braking member that is a separate member from the pin and the link member and is connected to the link member. The close motion braking member applies an external force to the link member to brake sliding of the pin in the first guide groove during closing of the cover body.

A robot control system for simultaneously controlling multi-axial robots each of which has actuators, a standard movement part being set in each of the robots, includes: a single main controller for calculating respective movement positions of the standard moving part on a movement route along which the standard moving part is to be moved; and sub-controllers installed for each of the robots, each of the sub-controllers calculating an operation amount of each of the actuators so that the standard moving part of a corresponding robot is to be moved along the movement route, based on the movement positions of the standard moving part of the corresponding robot on the movement route, and controlling each of the actuators of the robots in accordance with the operation amount.

A toilet seat tilting device includes a base, a seat tilting member, a cam member, a first lever, a second lever and a connecting rod. The base includes a cam bracket and a lever bracket. The cam member is pivotally attached to the cam bracket and includes a first arm and a second arm. The first lever and the second lever are pivotally attached to the lever bracket and include a pedal and an actuating arm. The connecting rod connects the cam member and the seat tilting member. When the first pedal is pressed the first actuating arm pivots the first arm of the cam member upward and the seat is tilted upward until the seat is fully pivoted upward, and the seat remains fully pivoted upward. The second pedal similarly operates to tilt the seat downward.

When a data write request to a disk drive 210 is received from a host computer 20, a first error detecting code of write data to be written to the disk drive 210 in response to the data write request is generated and stored, write processing of the write data to the disk drive 210 is executed, whether or not response time as time required for the write processing exceeds a predetermined threshold value is determined, data stored in a sector as a writing destination of the write data is read from the sector when the response time exceeds the threshold value, a second error detecting code of the read data is generated, and when the first error detecting code and the second error detecting code are compared with each other and the two codes do not coincide with each other, a signal indicating that the write processing is not normally performed is generated.

The present invention corrects sash sag in casement windows by implementing an adjustable hinge. The adjustable hinge includes a sash arm, a support arm, a retaining clip and an adjustment mechanism. The adjustment mechanism serves a twofold purpose. First, it allows one to adjust the hinge for sash sag, and it also secures the support arm to the track of the adjustment hinge. The adjustment mechanism includes a threaded support post and a threaded member. The threaded support post has a circumferential groove which is used to receive the arms of a retaining clip. The sash arm is mounted to the track of the adjustable hinge via a shoe block. The sash arm has a protrusion located on its bottom surface. The protrusion serves as a movement restrictor.

For fixing an object to a fixing plate by a fixing portion of the object and a fixing member, a fixing device includes a first screw member formed on the object and a second screw member corresponding to the first screw member. The fixing member includes a bottom plate portion provided with a through hole allowing a threaded portion of the second screw member to pass therethrough and a plurality of spring portions extending from the bottom plate portion in one direction. The bottom plate portion has an outer dimension smaller than a fixing hole formed on the fixing plate. A combination of the spring portions extends in the one direction from the bottom plate portion having an outer dimension greater than the fixing hole in at least an upper part thereof. Each of the spring portions has lateral sides provided with cut-away portions formed by cutting the lateral sides from the bottom plate portion in the one direction.
