Patent number: 7273296Abstract: A lampholder assembly in which lampholders are supported on a bracket in a back-to-back configuration with no gap therebetween is formed of a pair of insulative lampholders, each having a generally planar back surface and an opposite front face including a lamp receiving opening. One lampholder includes a set of two resilient latching pawls extending generally orthogonally from and to either side of the back surface thereof and the other lampholder includes a set of two rigid bosses extending from laterally opposite sides thereof. A lampholder mounting bracket receives the bosses and latching pawls to rigidly support the lampholders in back-to-back contact with one another.Type: GrantFiled: December 16, 2005Date of Patent: September 25, 2007Assignee: Pent Technologies, Inc.Inventor: Frank Roe

Patent number: 6805567Abstract: A power distribution system has a plurality of interlockable elongated power distribution modules each including an insulative housing formed from two matable insulative housing portions enclosing a plurality of elongated conductors. Each housing portions includes an elongated rib and groove structure along an edge thereof for engaging a corresponding rib and groove structure of an adjacent power distribution module thereby allowing modules to be joined together. Each module includes a plurality of electrical connection stations disposed along the housing and electrically connected to insulation-free regions of at least some of the conductors by the spanning prongs of electrical connector terminals. Certain stations receive electrical receptacles and other stations receive power jumpers to supply electrical energy to and from the module.Type: GrantFiled: August 6, 2002Date of Patent: October 19, 2004Assignee: Pent Products, Inc.Inventors: Gordon F. Chapman, Frank Roe, Randall L. Bixler, Phil Zimmerman

Patent number: 6784364Abstract: A portable storage unit has a body; a cavity in the body; an access opening in the body for providing access to the cavity, and a door which is hingedly fixed to the body for selectively opening and closing the cavity access opening. An extensible member is slidably received in the body and movable between a retracted position and a range of extended positions for securing the unit intermediate a pair of spaced apart surfaces such as a floor and underside of a desk. A spring urges the extensible member resiliently toward the extended positions. The extensible member may be latched in the retracted position and the body has a handle for transporting the unit between sites. Electrical connectors such as communication ports or electrical receptacles may be mounted to the unit along with one or more cords for supplying current to the electrical connectors.Type: GrantFiled: May 29, 2002Date of Patent: August 31, 2004Assignee: Pent Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Walter T. Kochanski, Frank Roe, Curtis G. Berndt, Randall L. Bixler

Patent number: 5834381Abstract: A non-halogenated, tri-laminate fabric for automotive security shades or covers, comprising a layer of reinforcing fabric scrim juxtapositioned between at least two layers of a thermoplastic olefin film comprised of a rubber modified polyolefin compound, said layers being thermally bonded together to form a fire retardant, nontoxic tri-laminate fabric. The rubber modified polyolefin is a rubber modified polypropylene or polyethylene homopolymer and copolymer. The rubber is natural or synthetic. The preferred thermoplastic olefin film has characteristic melt peaks at temperatures ranging between about 61.degree. C. and 100.degree. C. and between about 105.degree. C. and 168.degree. C., with melt peaks forming preferably at about 86.degree. C. and 142.degree. C. Acceptable thermal lamination of the layers occurs at temperatures ranging between about 120.degree. C. and 140.degree. C.Type: GrantFiled: October 9, 1997Date of Patent: November 10, 1998Assignee: Highland Industries, Inc.Inventors: Frank Roe, Alex Churchill, Tom Fabbrini
