A handle connector for securing the head of a cleaning tool to its handle is formed as a unitary integral body, preferably of die-cast construction. The connector has two distal ends. At one end, there is an opening for receiving a handle. The other end of the connector extends outwardly and is configured to mate with the head of a broom, mop, or similar manual tool. The body of the connector includes a floating web comprising a substantially flat section and laterally flanking slots. A bolt and wing nut are provided for joining the handle to the connector. As the wing nut is manually tightened against the connector, it applies a compressive force against the flat section of web, which flexes inward in relation to the handle, ultimately contacting the outside surface of the handle. Continued manual tightening ensures for a tight fit between handle and connector and rigidly secures the joint between these tool components.

An anti-dust structure for a sliding block of a linear guideway comprises a sliding block and a flexible anti-dust strip. A positioning groove is formed in the inner surface of the sliding block and located correspondingly to the upper steel ball groove. The flexible anti-dust strip has a plurality of lip portions that protrude out of the positioning groove, and the lip portions come into contact with the top surface of the rail. In this way, the flexible anti-dust strip can scrape off the grease and dust accumulated on the top surface of the rail at all times, preventing the dust and grease entering the upper steel ball groove via the top surface of the rail, and thus obtaining a better anti-dust function and ensuring the service life of the linear guideway.

In a rotary head type component mounter, before using two suction nozzles of rotary head to pick up the leading components in component supply tape set in two tape feeders, rotary head is moved in the XY directions by head moving mechanism and rotated by head rotating mechanism such that the pickup points of the two suction nozzles are positioned on two straight lines and extending in the tape feeding direction of each tape feeder passing through the ideal pickup points of the leading components of the two tape feeders, and the leading components are fed to component pickup positions and that are the pickup points of the suction nozzles on the two straight lines. Then, the two suction nozzles of rotary head are lowered simultaneously to pick up the two component simultaneously using the two suction nozzles.

This toner bottle is constructed such that the bottle cap that encloses the toner loading opening has a locking projection which can limit the rotation in the loosening direction while the toner loading portion has a cap locking projection which will engage the locking projection and can limit the rotation in the loosening direction.

The invention relates to a sealing device for a chamber partition, the partition having an orifice enabling a strand of conductor wires to pass between the outside and the inside of the chamber. The device includes a plug through which passes the strand, and an apparatus to keep the plug pressed against the partition. The conductor wires can be kept away from one another inside the plug to ensure the seal-tightness of the plug itself. Advantageously, the plug is pressed into a void of a counter-form, the internal shape of the void substantially complementing an external shape of the plug. The form/counter-form assembly provides for a perfect seal-tightness.
