High-quality and wide-format displays installed on modern phone models are certainly a cool thing, if you do not take into account the complexity of their use. What is the name of the finger holder for a smartphone, thanks to which the phone will not slip out of your hands when you press the top part of the display?
What is the name of the thing that is attached to the back cover of the phone and why else is it needed? What is the name of the ring for a phone that allows you to use it with one hand? What other possibilities does such an unremarkable, at first glance, accessory hide?
A holder, ring or just a stand attached to the back of the phone is called a popsocket. The accessory has become popular quite recently. However, due to its usefulness, it has become an indispensable thing for owners of smartphones with a large screen.
By the way, you can buy a Popsocket for pennies (a little more than 50 rubles)
All the features of PopSocket – a smartphone holder for your finger
Few people know, but in addition to the obvious function of supporting your finger when using a mobile phone with one hand, the popsocket also contains some functionality.
Support
A stationary or retractable popsocket can be a small but quite stable support that serves as a stand when watching videos on a smartphone. Very convenient, unlike the bulky book covers used in the past.
Organizer
The ring or the so-called classic holder, attached to the back cover of the phone, is also suitable for holding headphones. Thanks to this storage, they will not get tangled and dirty at the bottom of the bag or pockets.
Car holder
Most advanced models include a magnet. The accessory provides a strong grip in tandem with the holder installed in the car.
The principle of operation is based on the simple attraction of two magnets - from the side of the device cover and the machine holder. Such functionality of a seemingly unnecessary trinket is supported by a rather extensive and attractive design to choose from.
The most popular popsocket models, which one to choose
We found out what the thing that is attached to the back of the phone is called. Which model to buy and what are their differences? There are three main models of popsocket currently in use. The choice must be made according to your tasks and requirements.
- Phone holder - ring
An excellent option for girls who rely on the external design of the accessory. Includes basic functionality: a support for watching videos, a holder for one-handed use, a retractable part for winding up headphones. The popsocket ring is securely attached to your finger, preventing the phone from falling.
- Classic retractable popsocket
Allows you to apply any picture or image. It is convenient because it can be pushed back when not needed. Of course, it can be a stand and a limiter when using one hand.
- Classic, reinforced, with magnet
In addition to its main functions, it is suitable for use in a car. The reinforced, durable leg will not allow the device to dangle while overcoming uneven roads. But, despite this advantage, it is not very comfortable to wear. Due to the constantly protruding part, it will not fit in a narrow pocket.
Hello, dear friends! Every Soviet driver knows ideally the structure of any domestic car. However, in 2016, the same Moskvich on the roadway no longer looks so elegant. Therefore, even the most malicious people who are not fans of something new buy a modern car, which has a lot of differences from veteran cars. Today, we will talk about modernized shock absorbers that will definitely surprise the former owner of the rarity. If you are that kind of person, then sit down! I’ve been waiting for you and I’m ready to answer the question “what are car struts?”, so let’s get straight to the point!
What is a car rack?
The wide range of drivers is filled with various debates. So, most drivers claim that shock absorbers are useless. They say the spring is what really dampens all the vibration. I agree, but tell me, experts, who will undertake to dampen the vibration of the spring itself? I will answer you, in the entire car suspension there is no part capable of performing such a task better than struts. Driving without them will lead to terrible shaking, which will not only cause certain problems for the passengers of the vehicle, but will also complicate the movement of the car in general, since the level of adhesion of the wheels to the asphalt will significantly decrease. In addition, the shock absorber, in addition to absorbing vertical loads, also controls horizontal body roll.
A strut is the same shock absorber, but in a different shell. According to the area of application, they are also divided into front and rear. There is no particular difference between them; the goal of both is to effectively reduce the load on the vehicle structure coming from holes, potholes, ditches and other surprises on the domestic road. The design of the car rack includes the following elements:
- The housing (support) on which the mount is located;
- Working substance;
- Shock absorber rod equipped with a casing and fastening;
- Piston;
- Recoil and compression valve;
- Rings;
- Cylinder;
- Spring;
- Seals.
Moreover, it doesn’t matter at all whether the front or rear pillar of the car is the main “characters” will remain unchanged. Damping of vibrations is carried out through the movement of a piston on a rod along a cylinder filled with a working substance. Thus, under the weight of the machine, it is possible to convert kinetic energy into calmer thermal energy.
Main varieties
When choosing shock absorbers, we all strive to buy the model that will simultaneously increase both the car’s handling and our own level of comfort when moving. However, you need to understand everything and it does not happen at once; by increasing one indicator, the second will certainly decrease. Therefore, you need to choose a shock absorber based solely on your driving style. A person who prefers a stiffer suspension will feel discomfort on a soft type and vice versa.
To choose the best option, you need to know what types of struts there are for a car, because the final sensations of the driver and passengers depend on the type of shock absorber. According to the type of working fluid used, the following types of racks per car are divided:
- Oil-based ones are great for moving on a flat road, but do not do their job well in unfavorable conditions. The fact is that when the piston moves intensively, the generated thermal energy accumulates, which leads to heating of the oil and a decrease in the efficiency of the struts. The best option for urban areas: accessible and resistant to various external factors.
- Gas shock absorbers are more difficult to operate, but their service life is significantly longer compared to oil shock absorbers. This type of shock absorber can be installed in any position, even lying down. The oil won't escape here. Moreover, unlike its opponent, the cooling of the gas strut occurs much faster, and hence, better efficiency and stability. The price, accordingly, is also an order of magnitude higher.
Most car enthusiasts prefer a hydraulic shock absorber, but not everyone knows that before installation, it is necessary to remove air from the working cylinder, otherwise the efficiency of their work will be zero. Bleeding the car struts involves forcing the rod to move. To do this, secure the part with the rod at the top and press it with your hands until the working part exceeds the level of the glass by several centimeters. We remain in this position for about five seconds, after which we smoothly pull out the rod until the end of its stroke. We repeat the procedure 3-4 times, followed by another 2-3 more rhythmic times. If the dips are not felt, you can safely mount the parts directly on the vehicle.
Stabilizer link
The front and rear pillars of the car are not the only similar mechanisms in the design of the car. An equally important element of the suspension of a modern vehicle is the stabilizer link, which connects the body and suspension. Its purpose is to reduce roll when cornering, as well as to keep the car from swaying during acceleration and braking. That is, this part makes it easier to drive a car, while also improving the safety of passengers when moving.
Car stabilizer struts can be: symmetrical and asymmetrical. The first ones are universal, that is, they fit on both sides of the suspension. The second ones are divided into left and right, keep this in mind when choosing. Do not forget that the dimensions of the part may also vary.
In conclusion
Now you know what car struts are and how they function. However, remember, with our roads the service life, the average of which is 60-80 thousand kilometers, is halved. Oh, and one more thing - repairs to the car strut are not carried out after it expires! That's all for me, goodbye!
A bar table, if there is one in the kitchen, is statistically used even more often than a dining table. When purchasing a bar counter, think in advance what accessories you will need, do you need a wall-mounted bar system, central and side shelves, or will it be enough to hang a small cabinet?
Pros and cons of equipping a bar counter
Kitchen bar accessories have their pros and cons.
Pros:
- this is an excellent solution if there is not enough space to store things;
- The central and side shelves are very convenient and functional to use.
Cons:
- the need to regularly wipe dust off bottles, glasses, and cutlery;
- a large number of accessories overloads the space; owners should be especially careful when filling the rack.
Types and types of bar counter equipment
Accessories and fittings vary in the method of fastening, shape, materials and purpose.
According to the method of fastening, we can distinguish:
- Central shelves for the bar counter, which are mounted on the pipe in the center;
- Side or rotating shelves, which are attached to the pipe to a handle that extends to the side;
- Suspension systems that are attached not to the bar counter and pipe, but to the ceiling.
The shape of the central and side shelves can be cone-shaped or round.
According to their purpose and functions, bar accessories are divided into:
- Glass holders;
- Bottle holders;
- Universal - for storing things, dishes, food and serving;
- Hangers for cutlery, mugs, napkins, etc.
Accessories and fittings are most often made of metal or a combination of metal and glass. But the color of the metal can be the following: gold, bronze, copper, glossy and matte chrome.
The color of accessories and furniture fittings must match the color of the kitchen fittings. Read more about color combinations in the kitchen interior.
What furniture fittings are needed to create a multi-level structure of shelves?
First of all, you need a pipe that serves as a foot and base-mount for the shelves. It is made of brass or nickel and is most often 50 mm in diameter. The pipe (or rod) is secured to the rod holder to the floor, with side fastening to the wall and/or to the ceiling with ceiling fastening. The bar counter is also attached to the tabletop with a special flange.
How to choose the right package
Let's figure out what will really be necessary and what is better to refuse so as not to clutter up the space.
It is necessary to choose accessories for the bar counter based on its purpose. In what capacity is it most often used: as a home bar for parties and celebrations, as a table for breakfast and snacks, an additional surface for cooking, working at the computer, or simply as an accessory that separates the space?
If the bar counter is primarily a place for you to relax with friends, then equip it with a multi-level composition consisting of: a glass holder, a central shelf for bottles, a side shelf for serving and storage. If the kitchen and the counter itself are large, and you want to create the atmosphere of a real bar, then install a wall-mounted system.
Using more than three shelves is only permissible if your bar counter is a bar counter and not a breakfast table.
If you often cook at the bar table or want to use it to store kitchen utensils, then you will need: triple hangers with hooks on which you can hang ladle, a side shelf for serving, a universal central shelf for storing things (preferably with high sides) and optional glass/bottle holder. But, if there are children in the house, then, of course, it is better to abandon this idea.
In other cases, it will be enough to put it on the wall
