Abstract:
A flexible guard panel which may be releasably fastened to or about the front panel of a PC computer tower to protect the buttons on drive openings.
Abstract:
A hose hanger apparatus includes a hose supporting body and a hose retainer. The hose supporting body has mounting structure to enable the hose supporting body to be mounted to a wall in an operative position in which a hose supporting surface faces generally upwardly and extends outwardly from the wall. The hose retainer is movable between retaining and releasing positions. In its retaining position, the hose retainer extends upwardly adjacent the hose supporting surface in spaced relation from the wall to inhibit the upper portion of the coiled hose from moving off the hose supporting surface without first raising the hose to a height sufficient to vertically clear the hose retainer. In its releasing position, the hose can be removed from or mounted onto the hose supporting surface without the need for first raising the hose to a height sufficient to vertically clear the hose retainer.
Abstract:
Apparatus for retaining a canister having an adjustable base and at least one swing member attached to the base and preferably two swing members attached to the base opposite each other. The base further has a spring member disposed thereupon and in contact with the swing member to keep the swing member in a first open position. The swing member has a first end that is rotatably attached to the base via a hinge member and a second end that has a semicircular recess formed therein. The base is adjustable to provide an adjustable range of motion of the swing member with respect to the base. In operation, the apparatus moves from a first open position to a second closed position upon application of a force upon the swing members to retain a canister placed between the swing members. Use of the apparatus results in no temporary movement or constricting of a worker's limbs which can cause imbalance or injury nor requires a second person to stabilize the canister.
Abstract:
A protective assembly for housing and accessing components is featured. The protective assembly has a chassis, a cover, and a flexible latch for securing the cover to the chassis. The flexible latch has a latch and the base has a catch. The base includes a fulcrum. The fulcrum is used during removal of the cover to pivot the latch so that the latch is brought free of the catch.
Abstract:
A holder for assorted workshop articles such as tools, small parts, bolts, nuts, screw, pencils, and rulers. The holder comprises a wall hanger, a plurality of insert rings, a plurality of cup-shaped containers.
Abstract:
A pair of slits (2a), a pair of first grooves (2b), a pair of second grooves (2c), and an engaging aperture (2d) are formed to the bottom plate (21) of an outer casing of the telephone set (1). An adapter plate member (3) has a base pate (3a), a pair of generally triangular plates (3b) standing on the base plate, a pair of elastic claws (3c) formed on the top edges of the triangular plates, and a mating tab (3d). One end of the adapter plate member is remobably and rotatably mounted at the front edge of the bottom plate. In a first condition where the telephone set is disposed with the bottom plate is not inclined, the triangular plates are inserted into the slits. In a second condition where the telephone set is disposed with an increased inclined angle, the claws are inserted into first grooves. In a third condition where the telephone set is mounted on a wall by the use of the adapter plate member. After the adapter plate member is removed from the bottom plate, turned upside down, and fixed onto the wall. Then, the tab is inserted and engaged in the aperture of the bottom plate, while each of claws is inserted into each of grooves.
Abstract:
A microtool mount includes an elongated finger terminating in a tip. The finger has a pair of valley edges from which valley walls descend to terminate in a valley floor, thereby defining a valley between the valley walls and floor. The valley extends from the tip along a path parallel to at least a portion of the length of the finger. A microcapillary or other rodlike microtool may be accommodated within the valley, and a fastening member, preferably a magnet, may be removably affixed to the finger above the valley to maintain the microtool within the valley. The valley edges are preferably planar along at least a portion of the length of the finger so as to allow the magnet to more firmly affix to the finger.
Abstract:
To provide a compact support device, the operation of which is smooth and easy, the fixation of which can be positively conducted, for supporting an electronic device tiltably and pivotally, there is provided a support device comprising: an upper member; a base member; a convex engagement surface provided on one of the upper member and the base member; a concave engagement surface provided on the other of the upper member and the base member, the profile of the concave engagement surface agreeing with the convex engagement surface; a drive mechanism for transferring a state of engagement of the convex engagement surface with the concave engagement surface from a frictional engagement state to a disengagement state; a perpendicular shaft penetrating both engagement surfaces; and a horizontal shaft arranged in an upper portion of the perpendicular shaft, wherein the upper member and the base member can be relatively rotated round an axis of the perpendicular shaft, the upper member and the perpendicular shaft can be relatively rotated round an axis of the horizontal shaft, the drive mechanism can move the perpendicular shaft in the upward direction for transferring the state, and the drive mechanism includes either a plate cam, a translation cam or a lever.
Abstract:
The installation comprises, along a vertical frame (1), locations for gas cylinders, these locations being partially defined by a rack that can be used for transporting the cylinders (7), each location comprising, on the frame, a holding device (9, 10) that can be swung between a lockable closed configuration preventing the insertion or extraction of a cylinder, and an open configuration.
Abstract:
A collapsible mount for mounting an electronic device to a circuit board includes a base adapted to be fixed to the circuit board and two support arms each having a lower end pivotably connected to the base and spaced from each other so as to be rotatable with respect to the base between a stowed position and an expanded position wherein the two support arms are substantially opposite to each other to define a space therebetween adapted to accommodate the electronic device therein.
