  • Patent number: 10370897
    Abstract: A linear actuator extension assembly having a base housing, a driving member and a driven member having a housing. The driving member has a driving surface and a threaded lead screw disposed within the base housing. The driving surface is rotated about a first axis to actuate the threaded lead screw, thereby rotating the threaded lead screw about a second axis substantially orthogonal to the first axis. The rotation of the threaded lead screw translates the driven member housing relative to the base housing.

  • Patent number: 10081980
    Abstract: A pressure fit mesh gate having an outer casing and a mesh barrier door. The outer casing has a pair of upright frame elements connected to a lower cross element. The mesh barrier door is positioned within the outer casing. The mesh barrier door is hingedly connected to one of the upright frame elements. The barrier door has a frame including a first side member and a second side member friction fit connected at their ends by corner joints to an upper member and a lower member. At least one of the corner joints is a two-part corner joint. The two-part corner joint has a first extension that is friction fit into a first end of one of the members, and a second extension friction fit into an adjacent end of another one of the members.

  • Patent number: 9848753
    Abstract: A dishwasher basket having a container, an interior frame, at least one height adjustable rack, a lid and a connection assembly that hingedly couples the container, the interior frame and the lid together. The height adjustable rack may be fastened and moved vertically via a tray securing assembly to vary a volume of an upper compartment and a lower compartment. The lid may have at least one slot for securely holding a portion of a nipple or pacifier, at least one of which slots may be spaced to receive the nipple while the lid remains in a closed position.
