  • Patent number: 5498073
    Abstract: A corner junction for a cabinet, including a gusset plate having two profile sections secured thereto and including two adjacent joining surfaces which extend perpendicularly to a plane of the profile sections. A foot having complementary joining surfaces is secured to the gusset plate, such that the complementary joining surfaces are received by and abut against the joining surfaces of the gusset plate. At least one protruding portion extends from the foot and at least one complementary notch is formed in the gusset plate or the profile sections, the complementary notch receiving the protruding portion to lock the foot from translating in a direction parallel to the longitudinal axis of the foot. Additionally, a securing device is provided to secure the foot to the gusset plate, by clamping the foot between the joining surfaces. The foot is adapted to engage the gusset plate by translation along a direction parallel to the plane of the profile sections.

  • Patent number: 5237843
    Abstract: A keylock system comprising a lock and a key for opening and closing the lock, the key having an outer radial retaining stub protruding radially outward, the lock including a base plate for attachment to a surface of an enclosure, a cylinder rotatably mounted within the base plate, the cylinder having a first end adapted to engage the key, and a second end protruding from the base plate, the cylinder being rotatable between open and closed positions, and retaining sleeve threaded onto the cylinder. The retaining sleeve comprises a plurality of retaining fingers engaged with the cylinder to a low rotation thereof, an immobilizing finger for engagement with the base plate to prevent rotation of the retaining sleeve, and a top annular surface defining an opening having a reduced diameter which allows passage of the key therethrough.
