  • Patent number: 9161622
    Abstract: An Air Traffic Control (ATC) console provides improved structural integrity and cable routing. The ATC console includes laterally spaced apart vertical ribs including a strong center box structure and slat wall hooks on opposing flat wings. Front and rear slat wall panels attached to opposite sides of the ribs by horizontal lips on rear surfaces of the slat walls engaging the slat wall hooks. Horizontal openings for cable passage are created by spacing consecutive slat walls apart, and may be staggered to avoid light reaching an operator. Brush grommets may fill the openings in the front slat walls further preventing light from reaching the operator. Cable trays may be position under the horizontal openings and the vertical ribs may include cable pass throughs aligned with the horizontal openings and cable trays allowing cables to be routed laterally between the slat walls.

  • Patent number: 4966423
    Abstract: A cabinet drawer interlock to prevent more than one drawer from being opened at one time has an actuator on each drawer which is engaged with a separate sprocket rotor. A number of locking bars arranged in end contacting relation and each bar having a slot. First and second pawls on each rotor are inserted between the ends of a pair of adjacent locking bars and within a locking bar, respectively, when a first drawer is opened rotating the rotor for that drawer. The remaining closed drawers cannot be opened since the associated locking bars contact the pawl ends on attempted rotor rotation.
