An adaptive crash structure of a vehicle body or chassis of a motor vehicle includes a first metal casting and a second metal casting. A deformation element in the form of a metal casting for absorbing energy interconnects and forms with the first and second metal castings a single piece construction through a casting process. The deformation element is comprised of a plurality of funnel-shaped wedge bodies which are disposed in succession, with neighboring wedge bodies being connected through intervention of a predetermined breaking web. Each wedge body is defined by a diameter, wherein the diameters of the wedge bodies are sized to allow the wedge bodies to move telescopically into one another when a limit stress is reached and the predetermined breaking webs rupture so as to effect a tight intergrip of the telescoping wedge bodies in a self-locking manner.

A robotic link mechanism comprising a pair of base elements connected by a passive flexible joint, such that flexure of the joint changes the mutual orientation of the base elements. A pair of obliquely truncated cylinders are confined between the base elements such that the obliquely formed end surfaces of the cylinders can rotate in sliding contact with each other, and the other end of each cylinder can rotate in sliding contact with its associated base element. Driving motors are attached to the base elements, each one controlled to rotate the cylinder associated with that base element, such that rotation of at least one of the cylinders causes the base elements to undergo change in their mutual orientation. The mechanism thus has a backbone composed of the passive flexible joint, which is supported and actuated by the oblique truncated cylindrical structure that serves as an active exoskeleton.

The invention discloses an expansion bolt with a clamping block. The expansion bolt comprises a bolt body (1) and an outer sleeve (2), wherein an axial sliding groove (11) is formed in the large end side of the bolt body (1), a matched sliding block (21) is arranged on the inner side wall of the outer sleeve (2), and the sliding block (21) is clamped into the sliding groove (11) and is slidably connected with the sliding groove (11). According to the expansion bolt, the sliding groove (11) is formed in the outer wall of the bolt body (1), the matched sliding block (21) is arranged on the outersleeve (2), the sliding block (21) is clamped into the sliding groove (11), therefore, when nuts on the bolt body (1) are screwed, due to the fact that the sliding block (21) is clamped in the sliding groove (11) all the time, the mutual rotation of the bolt body (1) and the outer sleeve (2) can be effectively prevented, and the nuts can be conveniently tightened.

A swivel comprises a first body component and a second body component with an interconnection assembly for interconnecting the first and second body components and to allow mutual rotation of the first and second components about a swivel axis. The swivel further includes a rotation limiting arrangement which, in a release condition, allows free mutual rotation of the first and second body components and in a first or a second locking condition restricts mutual rotation of the first and second body components. A user control is operable to selectively cause the rotation limiting arrangement to adopt one of a locking condition and the release condition. In the first locking condition, the rotation limiting arrangement prevents mutual rotation of the first and the second body components and in the second locking condition, the rotation limiting arrangement, allows limited mutual rotation of the first and second body components by less than 360°.
