Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a three-function check valve that in one embodiment is attached to a vacuum bladder full of media (foam beads). This three-function check valve is comprised of a selection piece, silicone membrane, and a mounting base all in one sub-assembly. Furthermore, this valve has three positions with three distinct functions. These functions are to create an airtight seal, allow for free flow in and out of the bladder, and restrict flow of air based on a differential pressure.

Abstract: A linear light fixture includes a housing having a back and a pair of end plates. At least one end plate has a pair of mounting features. At least one of the mounting features is an elongate mounting feature with a longitudinal axis oriented generally tangent to a radius arc originating from a point which is offset from the back.

Abstract: A light fixture mounting bracket for mounting a linear light fixture housing relative to a hung ceiling in one of a flush mount configuration and a suspended configuration. The light fixture mounting bracket includes at least one mounting surface configured for connection to the housing, and an enclosure connected to the at least one mounting surface. The enclosure is integral with the mounting surfaces, and both the mounting surfaces and the enclosure are formed from a single piece of material.

Abstract: A joiner assembly for joining and supporting a first linear light fixture with a second linear light fixture. The joiner assembly includes a joiner bracket including first control surface connected to a second control surface and a draw fastener hole therebetween. The first control surface is configured for controlling a position of the first linear light fixture in a prestressed condition, and the second control surface is configured for controlling a position of the second linear light fixture in a prestressed condition. A draw fastener is connected to the draw fastener hole. A draw fastener constraint is connected to the draw fastener and configured for connection to at least one of the first linear light fixture and the second linear light fixture.

Abstract: A light fixture for mounting to the underside of a furniture element. The light fixture includes a housing with a first side and a second side opposed to and approximately parallel with the first side. The first side has a first spring latch at one end of the first side and the second side has a second spring latch at one end of the second side. A light source is carried by the housing.

Abstract: A method of forming a workpiece, including the steps of: providing a center ram, a first outside ram, a second outside ram, and a die; pressing the center rain against the workpiece and toward the die to a first predetermined die depth; trapping the workpiece between the center ram and the die; pressing the first outside ram and the second outside ram against the workpiece and toward the die to a second predetermined die depth; and stretching the workpiece beyond a yield tensile strength of the workpiece material. The die surface has a die center surface which includes at least part of a first arcuate surface, a first planar surface, and at least part of a second arcuate surface. The center ram surface is complimentary in shape to the die center surface.
