The attachment system further includes an attachment actuation mechanism that opens and closes the attachment.
Abstract:
Door stops are generally discussed herein for stopping door knobs or other door hardware from slamming against a wall with particular discussions on door stops having dampening means. Aspects of the door stop assemblies discussed herein include the use of a helical coil spring spacer for delimiting movement of a door and either a pliable insert or an outer sheath or both for dampening the spring when the same is impacted. A combination magnet and magnetically attractable plate or two magnets with opposite magnetic poles may be used to temporary secure a door in a fixed position.
Abstract:
The display panel has an outer surface to which a sign may be attached and an inner surface having a fastener composed of resiliently deformable material. An end of the fastener is separated from the display panel by a slit which is adapted to receive an outer plate of a conventional door handle The outer plate is held in the slit by the resiliently deformable composition of the fastener. The plate may however be removed from the slit by the application of a force opposed to the bias of the resilient material in order to widen the slit.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a distance piece for obtaining and maintaining a given distance between two objects. In particular, the present invention relates to a distance piece comprising a first wedge-formed element (1) having serrated teeth arranged on a surface thereof, and a second wedge-formed element (3) having serrated teeth arranged on a surface thereof, the serrated teeth of the second wedge-formed element being adapted to engage with the serrated teeth of the first wedge-formed element. The second wedge-formed element further comprises means (8) for receiving and guiding the first wedge-formed so that the distance piece may be operated using only one hand.
Abstract:
A sealing plug for a block-and-tackle balance comprises a sealing member having an outer periphery shaped so as to conform to an inner surface of a channel of a window jamb in which the block-and-tackle balance is accommodated. An opening is defined in the sealing member allowing a cord of the block-and-tackle balance to pass therethrough such that the cord is movable with a movement of a window panel. A connector configuration in the sealing member and allows the sealing member to be releasably secured to a bottom end of the block-and-tackle balance.
