Also provided are connection assemblies for reinforcing the portion of a traffic control assembly positioned between a traffic signal disconnect hanger and an upper span wire, for example. | 2011-04-21 |
20110089301 | DEVICES, SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR REINFORCING A TRAFFIC CONTROL ASSEMBLY - Devices, systems, and methods for reinforcing a traffic control assembly are provided.

20110089302 | SOFT PAD FOR ATTACHING OBJECTS WITH SUCTION DISC - A soft pad for attaching object with suction disc is provided, including a metal object unit and a wrapping unit. The metal object unit is made of material with good ductility, shaped as a flat plate. The plate includes a fixed region and a bendable region surrounding the fixed region. The top surface of the fixed region includes a suction surface for placing the object with suction disc. The bendable region is bendable to achieve better fit to the curvy surface. The wrapping unit completely wraps around the metal object, except the suction surface. The suction surface is exposed. Furthermore, the bottom of the soft pad is the wrapping unit, thus is an anti-slippery surface that is soft, flat, and having high friction coefficient. In this manner, the soft pad can be slightly bended to fit the curvy surface. With large contact area, good fitness, and considerable weight, the soft pad can be stably placed to provide attachment to holder with suction disc. | 2011-04-21 |
20110089305 | VEHICLE SEAT SLIDE DEVICE - A vehicle seat slide device is provided, wherein a manipulation handle has a grip portion, acting end portions for operating lock/unlock mechanisms, shaft support portions which are between the acting end portions and the grip portion and which are formed to a flat shape to become parallel to vertical walls, and pivot support shafts protruding from the shaft support portions in a direction of the pivot center of the manipulation handle. The vertical walls have opened holding holes which open at front parts and into which the pivot support shafts are inserted from opened portions to be supported at inner parts, and holding members holding the pivot support shafts in the opened holding holds. | 2011-04-21 |
20110089306 | SLIDE DEVICE FOR VEHICLE - A vehicle slide device is provided, which can adjustably move the second rail along the first rail without play therebetween in a front-rearward direction with a long adjustment stroke. In the vehicle slide device according to the invention, since a plurality of rolling elements annularly arranged in the attaching portion formed at the second rail are always in contact with the operating surface of the attaching portion and the operating surface of the first rail when the second rail moves relative to the first rail in a front-rearward directions, the play of the second rail relative to the first rail in up-down and right-left directions can be eliminated. Further, since the plurality of rolling elements roll and circulate at the attaching portion, the second rail can smoothly move in a front-rearward direction along the first rail. | 2011-04-21 |
