  • Publication number: 20170275835
    Abstract: A sound barrier wall has a plurality of footings spaced apart and vertical “I” beam wall stiffeners mounted to the footings. Alternatively, the vertical wall stiffeners are mounted to a crash barrier. A horizontal wall stiffener can be disposed between the adjacent vertical wall stiffeners. A plurality of wall panels is vertically stacked between adjacent vertical wall stiffeners. Each wall panel includes a sound insulating block, and plurality of support members disposed on opposite sides of the sound insulating block for providing structural support. Each support member has a head portion in contact with a surface of the sound insulating block and a stem portion extending into the sound insulating block. An “I” beam can be disposed between the vertically stacked wall panels. A top cap is mounted over the vertically stacked wall panels and protective layer is formed over the wall panels and vertical wall stiffeners.

  • Patent number: 9226577
    Abstract: A modular storage system for an interior compartment of a safe and method for storing guns comprises standardized parts for easy construction and assembly, flexible arrangement and configurations, and use in a wide variety of safes. The interior compartment of the safe is configured to have a back wall and two side walls defining an interior width of the safe. The system comprises a plurality of shelves each having a standardized shelf width. The interior width of the safe is a whole number multiple of the standardized shelf width. A gun storage bay is provided with an exterior bay width equal to the standardized shelf width. The plurality of shelves and the gun storage bay are removably mounted on the back wall.

  • Patent number: 7198307
    Abstract: A door latch mechanism for a vehicle comprising a release lever operable by a door handle and a transmission path linkage containing a resiliently biased inertia device. During normal operation, the inertia device is biased to form a transmission path that transmits an unlatching movement from the release lever to release a latch bolt of the latch. If an impact on the vehicle creates an acceleration force above a predetermined level, the inertia device moves to break the transmission path, preventing the latch from being unlatched.
