PCT No. PCT/JP97/04131 Sec. 371 Date Jun. 29, 1998 Sec. 102(e) Date Jun. 29, 1998 PCT Filed Nov. 13, 1997 PCT Pub. No. WO98/22007 PCT Pub. Date May 28, 1998The present invention relates to a thermally insulated synthetic resin container, which is a thermally insulated container having a double walled structure and being made of synthetic resin, which reduces the thermal conduction loss from the mouth portion, and which has excellent thermally insulating performance capabilities. The thermally insulated synthetic resin container 1 of the present invention has an inner container 4 and an outer container 3, which are both made of synthetic resin and which are both connected at their respective mouth portions 12, 11 while providing a space portion in between the two containers. According to this thermally insulated synthetic resin container which is formed by having the space portion between the inner container 4 and the outer container 3 be a thermally insulating layer 6, a reduced thermal conductive portion 14 having a wall of reduced thickness is formed in the vicinity of the mouth portion 12 of the inner container 4.

A connecting portion of a quick connector is provided with a pair of stop arms. Each of the stop arms has an arm body that integrally includes an overhanging stop portion and an engaging pawl on a leading end portion thereof. The connecting portion is inserted in a connecting hole formed in a fluid line component until the engaging pawl engages with an outwardly directed engaging projection of a mounting portion that is provided on an opening portion of the connecting hole. A checker has a main body that is provided integrally with verifying portions. Each of the verifying portions is formed with a receiving recessed portion for accommodating the overhanging stop portion therein when the checker is disposed on an outer circumference of the mounting portion.

A cycling shoe comprises a shoe upper and a shoe sole. The shoe sole is provided with at least one magnetic plate, so that the cycling shoe can be magnetically attracted to a bicycle pedal including magnetic elements. The shoe sole is further provided with stopping blocks to be engaged in the bicycle pedal, preventing the cycling shoe from sliding relative to the bicycle pedal. By such arrangements, the cycling shoe has the advantages of being easy to slide out, stable engagement, and labor-saving.

Retaining device for a wheel-alignment analyzer for attachment to a wheel of a motor vehicle. Retaining device has a retaining element having at least three retaining arms and a clamping mechanism which can be displaced along the retaining arms. The ends of the clamping mechanism are provided with an overlapping portion for overlapping the edge of the rim and the retaining element can be secured to the edge of the rim. The retaining device offers a stable engagement and centering solution, thus permitting a correct wheel-alignment analysis. The overlapping portion may be spring-loaded and biased in the direction of the wheel and/or the clamping mechanism, and a spacer and the overlapping portion may be provided on the spacer.

A socket for a PGA package includes a planar insulative housing for mounting a plurality of terminals in grid array fashion. Each of the terminals has a solder tail projecting from one side surface of the insulative housing to be soldered to a printed circuit board. Each of the terminals includes a planar main portion extending in the direction of mounting to the insulative housing, an anchor portion for engaging with the insulative housing on side edges of the main body, a contact piece folded back into generally U-shaped configuration from a lower end of the main body and mutually opposing to the main body, and a solder tail extending toward the printed circuit board. The contact piece has a contact portion on an outside surface thereof for contacting with a pin of the PGA package.

Jacket structure for offshore constructions, particularly jacket structure for offshore wind turbines, including a number of first and second profiles, whereby the first profiles include rods in axial alignment and the second profiles include rods in an angled alignment relative to the first profiles, and a number of node members providing a connection site for the second profiles, wherein the node members are connected to the first profiles and/or at least one adapter profile connected to at least one first profile of the jacket structure via a bolted connection.

A yoga rope with anti-slip structures includes a rope body, a first fastener assembly and at least one anti-slip structure. The rope body has a first operation end, a main portion and a second operation end orderly arranged in an extension direction. The first fastener assembly fixed to the first operation end is used for tying the main portion. The at least one anti-slip structure is attached to the rope body.

A side lock sleeve assembly includes: a first tube, a sleeve having a first coupling portion defining a first receiving space for sleeving over the first tube, wherein a hole is formed on the first coupling portion at a position between a center of the first receiving space and an outer surface of the sleeve; and a fastening screw having an operation section and an extension section, wherein a diameter of the screw gradually decreases from the operation section toward the extension section such that threadedly extension of the extension section through the hole to retain the extension section between the sleeve and the first tube and such that threadedly insertion of the extension section of the screw through the hole results in a threaded fitting portion on an outer surface of the first tube complementing with the extension section, thereby snugly receiving the extension section of the screw therein.

A terminal structure has a portion that is separated and bent. A projecting section is provided for realize common use. A connector port incorporating the terminal is also provided. The connector port includes a hollow shell receiving and retaining therein an insulation housing for receiving and positioning a plurality of terminals. Further, the insulation housing has at least one detection pin arranged at one side thereof. The detection pin is engageable with an external plug connector fit therein in order to prevent shorting caused by a shell of the plug contacting the terminals of the port at the time when the connectors mate each other. Further, the insulation housing includes a plurality of clamps, which functions to clamp and position an external plug connector so as to securely retain the plug that is fit into the socket and to realize stable engagement when the connector mate each other.
