Abstract:
A trolley (1) for distributing for instance food in aisles of airplanes is described. The trolley comprises a cabinet-shaped body (10) as well as a door (20) coupled hingedly to the body, capable of being closed by means of a lock system (100). The lock system is a multipoint lock system (100), wherein a bolting of the door with respect to the body is accomplished at a plurality of positions along a free vertical side edge (23) of the door.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a method and system for providing several stages of closure of a luggage case (2), including an open stage, a pre-close stage in which one or more latching mechanisms are engaged, and a secure stage in which a drawing action pulls both shells of the luggage case (2) further together. Also disclosed is a method and system for automatically ensuring proper latching of the multiple latching mechanisms around the perimeter of a luggage case (2). The latching mechanisms may be aligned by use of a single operative mechanism (16). The present invention comprises a low-friction, durable system. The present invention ensures security of a user’s belongings by providing the extra measurement of closure. The user enjoys a single operative mechanism (16), and needs to exert only a minimal amount of pressure to latch the case (2), thanks to a clever design of the single operative mechanism (16). The user needs not worry about their suitcase (2) popping open due to a failed latching mechanism.
Abstract:
Embodiments of the present invention disclose a portable computer (100) having a removable access panel (108) for accessing data processing components stored within the portable computer. In one embodiment, the portable computer includes an upper housing (102) pivotably connected to a base housing (104). The base housing accommodates the data processing component and includes a top side that faces the upper housing and a bottom side opposite the top side. Furthermore, the access panel is formed to have substantially similar dimensions as the bottom side of the base housing, while also being configured to tool-lessly and releasably attach to said bottom side so as to expose or cover the removable component and an entire area of the bottom side of the base housing.
Abstract:
An electrical system for a computer cart enables power to be diverted between electrical channels within the cart using an intelligent round robin charging scheme. All power may be diverted to individual channels one at a time for short charging intervals. When a selected primary channel does not require all available power within the cart, excess power is provided to a secondary channel. All three channels may likewise share power if excess is available. Relays are used to allow power to be controlled to the individual channels. Current sensors on each channel sense an amount of current used by the channel. The output of the current sensor is digitized and integrated to determine how much current is being used by the channel. The current is used by the control to detect uncharged laptops and to selectively divert power between channels to optimize use of power within the computer cart.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a fastening device for mounting a fitting (18), such as a lock case, bar guide, or similar, on the rear side of a thin wall (10), such as a sheet metal cabinet door, which is provided with a breakthrough (12) for the fitting if necessary. According to the invention, a projection (14), such as a nose, lug, or bend, extends from the rear side, optionally from the edge region of the breakthrough (12) if a breakthrough is provided. The free end of said projection (14) is provided with a recess, notch (16), breakthrough, or edge which is embraced by a clipping element (20) extending from the fitting (18) in the mounted position such that the fitting (18) is attached to the wall (10).
Abstract:
An apparatus with a base part (101) and a display part (102), which is detachable from the base part. There is a cavity (103) formed in the base part (101) and the apparatus is configured to have at least a closed configuration and an open configuration. In the closed configuration, the display part (102) is configured to cover the base part (101), and in the open configuration, the cavity is configured to receive and hold the display part (102) in an upright tilted position in relation to the base part (101).
Abstract:
A computer cart has segregated computer storage areas and adapter / cord management areas. This enables the adapters and cords to be stored in an orderly fashion and also prevents the cords and adapters from being accessed or removed from the cart when the computers are being accessed. In one embodiment, extensions of shelves on which the computers are stored extend through a dividing panel into a rear compartment of the cart to create AC adapter shelves for storage of the AC adapters. In another embodiment, the AC adapters are stored in bins in a separate compartment and cords from the AC adapters extend through a dividing panel to an area designed to hold the computers, to enable the computers to be plugged in to be charted while stored in the cart.
