A method for forming a captive panel fastener assembly, the assembly comprising a bolt having head, shank and threaded outer end portions, slots extending longitudinally down through the bolt threads toward the outer end of the bolt and a retaining ring for securing the bolt to a panel. The metal retaining ring has inwardly tangs which are distanced sufficiently to allow the ring to be slipped over the outer end of the bolt and into the bolt slots. The ends of the slots terminate in abutments. The outer surface of the ring opposite corresponding tabs is provided with outwardly extending alignment tabs. Installation of the retaining ring onto the bolt to form the captive panel fastener is accomplished by first placing the ring alignment tabs into cutout portions formed in the nose area of a tool. The tool and ring are then engaged onto the bolt from the outer end by first aligning visual markings formed on the tool jaws with the slots. Force is then applied to the tool to crimp the ring and deform it to an oval shape while forcing the ring tangs into the slots. Since the distance between the installed ring tangs is smaller than the diameter of the slot-end abutments, the ring is prevented from being removed from the bolt slots.

A fluid powered valve actuator is disclosed for a valve having a valve body and a threaded valve stem for connecting to the actuator to be reciprocated along its longitudinal axis to open and close the valve. The actuator includes an actuator housing for attaching to the valve body, a fluid motor mounted on the housing having a cylinder, a piston in the cylinder, and a piston rod having one end attached to the piston. To connect the valve stem to the piston rod, a connecting block having a threaded opening in one end is screwed onto the threads on the valve stem. An opening in the other end of the block receives the end of the piston rod. There are grooves extending transverse the longitudinal axes of the piston rod on opposite sides of the piston rod and grooves in the connecting block on opposite sides of the opening in the block, and openings in the connecting block through which rods can be positioned, with each rod in engagement with a groove in the block and a groove in the rod to connect the connecting block to the piston rod. The piston rod is of tubular construction to allow the valve stem to extend into the rod if required to adjust the stroke of the rod to the valve.

A capsule, in particular for mounting the head of an angle-adjustment screw on a reflector of a motor vehicle headlight, the capsule being of the type comprising, in the vicinity of a first end, means for receiving the head, and in the vicinity of a second end, fixing means for fixing the capsule to a mount fixed to the reflector. The capsule comprises a first portion including a housing for the head, and a second portion including the fixing means for fixing the capsule to the reflector. Said fixing means comprise flexible means suitable for entering into latching engagement with said mount. Said first portion of the capsule is capable of sliding relative to the second portion to a locking position in which it bears against the flexible means, preventing them from moving out from their latching engagement with the mount.

A locking pin and clevis wherein a slidable lockable member engages one end of the pin to lock it and a spring can be locked to said slide member to prevent it from moving to the unlocked position. The spring can be disengaged with the slide member to allow the slide member to be moved to the unlocked position so that the pin can be moved out of engagement with the one end of the clevis.

A securing device for axles (2) in office machines, in particular in printers, with axle journals (2c), which axle journals (2c) are furnished with insertion grooves (2d) near their ends and which axles (2) are supported in side plane components (1) against an axial shifting by way of spring elements. An economic and assembly-friendly securing device is provided by having the axle (2), forming a shoulder (2b), and resting on the inside of the side plane component (1), where the axle journal (2c) can be inserted into an about elongatedly shaped opening (4) in the side plane component (1) following to the insertion groove (2d), such that the axle journal diameter (9) of the axle journal (2c) rests in a smaller circular opening (5) of the elongatedly shaped opening (4), where a spring-loaded tension element (10) can be positioned and inserted between the side plane component (1) and the axle journal (2c ) into the insertion groove (2d) passing over the axle journal diameter (9) at the side plane component (1) and where the spring-loaded tension element (10) can be tensioned in the insertion groove (2d) under spring tension crosswise to the axle journal (2c).

A retainer for supporting an injection molding machine ejector bar. The retainer is mounted to a hydraulic ram and secures an ejector bar in clamped relation relative to an extractor pin assembly secured to a molding die. The retainer includes a relatively large self-aligning cavity wherein an ejector bar end is confined via a transverse mounted jaw having a ridged gripping surface that interconnects with an annular slot formed in the ejector bar.
