A main unit includes a slider and a guide groove. A display panel includes a slider engaging portion coupled to the slider being guided by the slider and a guide-groove engaging portion slidably engaged with the guide groove being guided by the guide-groove so that the display panel can be inclined. A pressing lever presses the guide-groove engaging portion with resilient force of a resilient member. The guide-groove includes a parallel groove formed in parallel with a direction of movement of the slider; and a curved groove having a width narrower than that of the parallel groove and being connected to the parallel groove. The guide-groove engaging portion moves in the parallel groove by the movement of the slider and a pressing force of the pressing lever.

A turbomachine rotor disk (32) comprising inter-blade platforms (44) fixed to ribs (16) delimited by cavities (14) in which blade roots (20) are retained, and protective liners (30) mounted between the flanks of the cavities (14) of the disk (32) and the blade roots (20), wherein the protective liners (30) have a C-shaped cross section so that they can be fitted translationally and retained radially on the ribs (16) of the disk (32) and constitute means of locking the platforms (44) on the ribs (16) of the disk (32).

A telescopic mechanism, especially for steering columns of motor vehicles, with an internal element (10), which has a flattening (12) at least on one side, and an external element (14), which is complementary to the internal element (10) and in which the internal element is guided with roll barrels, which roll at the flattening (12), wherein at least some of the roll barrels are constructed as hollow elasticity bodies (18).

In the check valve unit of a hydraulic tensioner a check ball guide has an inner wall surrounding a check ball. This wall is provided with a plurality of oil communicating grooves, formed by cutting away parts of the inner wall of the guide. These grooves carry oil past the ball from the oil supply toward a high pressure oil chamber of the tensioner, when the ball moves away from its seat.

A cutter clip and methods for installing a gutter cover onto a gutter system are disclosed. The gutter clip includes a mouth portion sized to provide an interference fit between the gutter cover and the mouth portion of the clip which stationarily secures the gutter cover to the gutter clip. The gutter clip is further provided with a mounting portion that fastens to the lip of a gutter. Once assembled, the gutter clip of the present invention provides minimum horizontal and vertical tolerances between the gutter and the gutter cover, such that water may flow freely into the gutter channel, but does not permit debris to be lodged therein.

Analyte meter protectors, meters that include the same, and methods.

A portable storage container that both stacks and nests with similar containers includes a plurality of walls extending upwardly from a floor. At least one bail member is moveable between a plurality of positions for supporting the similar containers at varying heights. The bail member is moveable between a low nest position and a high nest position. In the low nest position, minimal clearance between the floors of the stacked containers is provided, and the stacked containers have the lowest overall height. In the high nest position, a ledge protruding outwardly from an outer surface of a wall of the upper container is supported on a support portion of the bail arm.

In combination, a removable tool may be selectively attached to the cleaning wand of a carpet extractor to alternatively clean hard surfaced floors, such as grouted tile and when not attached, clean carpeted floors. The removable tool may be sold as an aftermarket item for existing carpet extractors. A method of using the carpet extractor with the removable tool allows the apparatus to fulfill dual purposes, e.g., cleaning hard surfaced floors and when the tool is attached to the cleaning wand, and when the tool is removed from the wand to clean carpeted floors.

A fastening assembly is provided. The fastening assembly includes provision for a stud to be positioned in a plurality of predetermined extended positions, minimizing the amount of clearance required for removing a cover from a substructure.

A turbomachine rotor disk including inter-blade platforms fixed to ribs delimited by cavities in which blade roots are retained, and protective liners mounted between the flanks of the cavities of the disk and the blade roots is disclosed. The protective liners have a C-shaped cross section so that they can be fitted translationally and retained radially on the ribs of the disk and constitute a locking device which locks the platforms on the ribs of the disk.

The present invention relates to a seed sowing apparatus which includes a substantially flat circular disc (1) mounted on a frame so as to be rotatable about horizontal axis (2) while partly embedded in soil (3) and drawn in a forward direction substantially parallel to the soil surface and substantially perpendicular to a disc axle. The apparatus also includes at least one blade (10) having a leading edge (11) defined by the intersection of two opposite side surfaces and structure (41, 45) for mounting the blades on the apparatus so that the leading edge (11) is held close to or in intimate contact with the disc (1), wherein the at least one blade's leading edge (11) is inclined in a plane of the blade such that an angle of the leading edge (11) with respect to an arc (A, B, C) of the disc surface passing beneath the leading edge (11) is zero or positive over the entire length of the leading edge (11).

A table saw includes a table capable of supporting a workpiece, a cutting unit and a positioning fence. The positioning fence has a positioning surface for supporting the workpiece. The positioning surface is divided into an upper positioning surface and a lower positioning surface that are positioned above the table. First slide fences allocated to the lower positioning surface and second slide fences allocated to the upper positioning surface are slidably supported in a table surface direction relatively independent from each other. The positioning surfaces of the first and second slide fences constitute an entire region of the positioning surface. In this way, the entire region of the positioning surface is made to be slidable in accordance with various operation modes.

In lateral outriggers, e.g. of a mobile crane touch-free position sensors are arranged for the extension length and the operating range of the mobile crane is limited as a function of the currently measured values. In particular the touch-free magnetostrictive position sensors in a very flat housing can be well arranged between the particular telescope profiles without being exposed to the risk of damages.
