Modern manual door closer Eclipse door spring and separate checking mechanism. A door closer is a mechanical device that regulates the speed and action of a door’s swing. [1] Manual closers store the force used to open the door in some type of spring and reuse it to close the door. Automatic types use electricity to regulate door swing behavior.
In vehicle dynamics, slip angle [1] or sideslip angle [2] is the angle between the direction in which a wheel is pointing and the direction in which it is actually traveling (i.e., the angle between the forward velocity vector and the vector sum of wheel forward velocity and lateral velocity , as defined in the image to the right).
An angle bracket or angle brace or angle cleat is an L-shaped fastener used to join two parts generally at a 90-degree angle. It is typically made of metal but it can also be made of wood or plastic. Angle brackets feature holes in them for screws. A typical example use of is a shelf bracket for mounting a shelf on a wall.
Schematic of a slip band, relative to the measurement axes (𝑥 1, 𝑥 2, and 𝑥 3), and axes related to the slip-band (𝑥, 𝑦, and 𝑧), showing the angles that describe the relationship between these axes and the traces of the slip band (𝛼, 𝜃), and the inclination angle (𝜓) of the slip trace (𝑥) and Burgers vector (𝑏 ...
Different from the square, which is fixed and can only set a 90° angle, the sliding T bevel can set any angle and transfer it on another piece. The bevel gauge is composed of two elements connected with a thumbscrew or wing nut, which allows the blade to pivot and be locked at any angle. The handle is usually made of wood or plastic and the ...
Engineering fits are generally used as part of geometric dimensioning and tolerancing when a part or assembly is designed. In engineering terms, the "fit" is the clearance between two mating parts, and the size of this clearance determines whether the parts can, at one end of the spectrum, move or rotate independently from each other or, at the other end, are temporarily or permanently joined.
Slip joints can be designed to allow continuous relative motion of two components or it can allow an adjustment, by unclamping from one fixed position, and re-clamping to another. Examples of the latter are tripods, hiking poles, or similar telescoping device. The clamping mechanism is based on a cam, a set screw, or a similar locking mechanism.
Performance vehicles may run zero front toe or even some toe-out for a better response to steering inputs. Increased front toe-in marginally increases the wear on the tires as the tires are under slight side slip conditions when the steering is set straight ahead. On front-wheel drive vehicles, the situation is more complex. Rear toe-in ...
