In the upgraded version of the tent "Lotus Cube Professional M"the following changes and additions are made:

The mechanism of the addition of Doug Caracas (Hub) is made of aluminum alloy. The cast aluminum "hub" at high rigidity has a sufficiently high fragility, which is fraught with a breakdown of this element at elevated loads. If the design of the "hub" is more thick-walled, it will not lead to a noticeable improvement in terms of strength (voids are formed in thick-walled elements), but will only increase the dimensions and weight of the product.
In order to maximize the strength of this "hub", it is decided to combine the manufacturing material. The top of the "hub", which accounts for the maximum load, is amplified by the plate of 3.0 mm steel, such a combination creates the maximum stiffness and strength effect.
The enhanced "hub" is withstanding very high mechanical and temperature loads and becomes one of the most durable, reliable and durable elements in the tent.

How to upgrade the first version of the Tent "Lotus Cube Professional"? (production until 02.2015)

A feature of all improvements is the full compatibility of the updated elements with the first model of 2014. This allows users who bought the first version to replace the necessary nodes, while the cost of all replaced elements will be no more difference in the cost between the modernized "Lotus Cube of Professional M" and the first basic version of 2014.

In order to replace the "tube 12 mm with a spring" element on a new "14 mm tube with a spring":

• Remove the old tube with awning. To do this, first it is necessary to pull the rod from the tube as shown in the video. Then disconnect the tube from the awning, driving or cutting off (nipples) riveting the holding tube in the awning.

• Attach the new tube in the awning with a wire bracket fixed on the tube. At the same time, the tube must be inserted into the sleeve age maximum until it stops.

• Insert the rod into the tube as shown in the video.

In order to strengthen the "hubs", it is enough to fasten the plate as shown in Figure No. 3.
When installing the plate on the "hub", it is necessary to close it very tightly to the "hub" surface of the fixing nut. Between the plate and "hub" should not be a gap. For reliable fixation of the nut, it is recommended to use the second lock nut.

• Designed to create reliable compounds of furniture pipes.
• Used to fix pipe connections for both round and profile pipe.
• Have a variety of sizes, one or two buttons.
• Can be used for external diameter pipe from 4 to 60 mm with different wall thickness.
• Springs with button lock Very easy to use.
• By material manufacturing material, two options distinguish:
  1. Springs from structural spring - spring steel coated with 65mnnickel plated;
  2. Stainless steel springs;
• Stainless steel springs are used in products in contact with river or sea water - in the manufacture of parts of boats, catamarans, etc. In all other cases, it is recommended to use steel nickel-plated springs. They have a coating resistant to atmospheric exposure.
• With possible sizes of springs with a button, you can find the table on the site page.

For reference

The steel grade is 65mn (65mn Carbon Steel) - analog 65g. This is instrumental carbon steel. It has a property to withstand shock loads. 65mn steel hardness - 50-53hrc.
Class: Steel structural spring-spring.
Using industry: springs, springs, stubborn washers, brake ribbons, friction discs, gears, flanges, bearings, clamping and feed colanggies and other parts to which the requirements of high wear resistance are presented.
Nickel Plated is a coating, literally galvanic nickel or nickel applied by electroplating. Nickel coatings have high corrosion resistance, high firmness and good decorative properties.

The springs with the button are used to fix pipe structures, as well as in constructions requiring the possibility of adjusting the height.
Flat springs are indispensable in any pipe structures that should not "accidentally" understand.

Suitable for use with pipes by outer diameter from 10 to 60 mm. There are one-sided and two-sided spring-click buttons.

Spring Buttons Clamps can be made, depending on the environment of their further use, or from the design spring-spring steel with a niceline electroplated coating, or stainless steel. At the same time, the spring buttons from the stainless steel must be used in products that will be in contact with sea water - oars, masts for yachts, etc. In all other cases, it is recommended to use buttons - clamps from spring steel.

Advantages of using push-button locks with pipe connections:

• the issue of connecting pipe structures without using a special tool
• pipe connection using push-button springs - very reliable, with a guarantee for uncommunication
• spring push-button locksters can be used not only for round, but also for a square pipe.
• the push-button spring is uneapable and remains in the pipe, respectively, the possibility of loss of hardware has been excluded.

If you have doubts or questions, how to choose the optimal, most suitable for your goals and tasks Spring push-button lock for connecting pipes, then you can use our table.

Table of species and sizes of spring push-button locksters for pipe connection

The collapsible connection of two pipes using the button is the retainer. Scope of application.

The area of \u200b\u200busing the method of connecting pipes of different diameters using spring push-button locks is very extensive.

For example, when using a furniture thin-walled pipe in a wide variety of designs and furniture - bunk beds,

chairs, stairs, tables, clamshells, all sorts of fences and barriers, tents and canopies, sports and medical equipment,

rehabilitation equipment, in the form of handles and supports to industrial and household appliances springs with the button are indispensable in operation.

REFERENCE: Reduction is the process of reducing the diameter of the pipe by plastic deformation.

For this purpose, serves as a radial press (crimp). The design of the machine allows up to 0.1 mm with an accuracy of adjusting the degree of pipe compression,what makes it possible to obtain the necessary density of the pipe entry of a smaller diameter into a pipe with a large diameter on the sametool kit, no additional cost.

In the pipes of a smaller and larger diameter at a distance from the edge of 20-40 mm, one can be drilled if the spring with one button is used,either two - in the case of the use of a spring with two buttons, a hole, a diameter of 0.1-0.2 mm larger than the diameter of the springs used.

The spring is inserted into the pipe of a smaller diameter, so that the button would look out from the hole.Next, the pipe is laid in a large diameter on the pipe of a smaller diameter. Click on the springs button and shive, combining the holes of both pipes.

Attention!

Beware of cheap Chinese analaughters! Low production quality, as well as use in the manufacture of cheap raw materials can entail the destruction of the lock at the most inopportune moment! From a long-term static load of the spring plate simply burst and your structural element will work out, which can lead to quite unpleasant consequences ..
