  • Patent number: 11274479
    Abstract: A heavy-duty jamb latch for securing sliding doors to a rough opening of a building or structure includes a base plate, a handle, side plates adjacent and pivotably connected to the base plate, a carrier pin passing through recesses in the base plate and apertures in the side plates, and rigid members fastened to the carrier pin via bores drilled into the carrier pin. The rigid members extend away from the handle and secure sliding doors to a rough opening of a building or structure. The heavy-duty jamb latch may be mounted to the rough opening of the building or structure and may transition from an open position to a closed position by pulling the handle, thereby securing the sliding doors to the rough opening of the building or structure. Additionally, a locking pin or a padlock may lock the heavy-duty jamb latch.

  • Patent number: 8586518
    Abstract: A biobased penetrating oil for use to reduce friction between fittings. The penetrating oil composition preferably contains one or more long-chain, low-volatile esters specifically derived from a natural plant-based oil, such as a combination of methyl esters derived from soybean oil, and an unsulfurized terpene, such a pine oil or limonene and various orange terpenes as a solvent. The penetrating oil can be an aerosolized product and included a carbon dioxide propellant.

  • Patent number: 5902972
    Abstract: The invention includes a three-position switch having a keycap connected to a housing for pivotal movement, and slidable movement in a vertical direction. The keycap is connected to the housing so that the keycap may be rocked to a first position in which one end of the keycap is depressed closing a first circuit. The keycap may also be rocked to a second position in which a second end of the keycap is depressed closing a second circuit. The keycap may also be pushed downwardly so that both ends of the keycap are depressed closing the first and second circuits simultaneously.

  • Patent number: 5803243
    Abstract: A switch combines the benefit of the audible sound produced by ball and spring and metallic contact switches, with the simple, inexpensive, easy to assemble nonmetallic collapsible dome switches. A keycap with an audible lock arm having a ridge thereof for engaging at least one nub formed on the housing is provided allowing the keycap to be moved to at least a first and second position and locked. As the keycap is moved, the ridge moves over the nub producing an audible sound. Inexpensive and easy to assemble collapsible dome structures with electrically conductive pellets carried on an underside are used to close circuits on an underlying substrate.
