Tack strip being removed from a floor. Tack strip also known as gripper rod, carpet gripper, Smoothedge tackless strip, gripper strip or gripper edge is a thin piece of wood, between 1 and 2 metres (3.3 and 6.6 ft) long and about 3 centimetres (1.2 in) wide, studded with hundreds of sharp nails or tacks used in the installation of carpet.
A Bernoulli grip uses airflow to adhere to an object without physical contact. [1] Such grippers rely on the Bernoulli airflow principle . While an accelerating, increasing speed, airstream has a low downstream static pressure , the sharp turn from linear to radial flow is the cause of a region of very low pressure around the blower exit hole.
Diagram of a cross-section of the Patagonia slab window. The Nazca plate and Antarctic plate are colliding with the South American plate at the Chile Ridge. [1]In geology, a slab window is a gap that forms in a subducted oceanic plate when a mid-ocean ridge meets with a subduction zone and plate divergence at the ridge and convergence at the subduction zone continue, causing the ridge to be ...
A face reglet (also known as reglet-flashing) is counter-flashing that is typically made out of either copper or lead-coated copper. [2] It is applied on the surface of the wall or parapet and screwed into place, with additional sealant placed between the surface and the counter-flashing. [3]
The shape of the fingers' gripping surface can be chosen according to the shape of the objects to be manipulated. For example, if a robot is designed to lift a round object, the gripper surface shape can be a concave impression of it to make the grip efficient. For a square shape, the surface can be a plane.
A retracted gap filler can be seen at the bottom of the image along the platform edge, with additional gap fillers visible in the distance. The Interborough Rapid Transit Company 's first cars were built with only two doors on each side, at the extreme ends of the car, lining up with the curved platforms so as not to leave a wide gap between ...
An air gap, as related to the plumbing trade, is the unobstructed vertical space between the water outlet and the flood level of a fixture. [1] Air gaps of appropriate design are legally required by water health and safety regulations in many countries. An air gap is the simplest form of a backflow prevention device.
The Mini-Camper Kit converted an open hatchback into a camping compartment and enough room for sleeping with the rear seat folded down. [ 73 ] [ 74 ] The "Mini-Camper" was a weatherproof covering that fitted over the roof section from the B-pillar back to the rear bumper that was easy to set up.
