Abstract: Disclosed is an apparatus and method for a slide and tilt hinge mechanism. The slide and tilt mechanism comprises an upper element (102) having a top (140) and a bottom (132) and an angled (130) portion located at an end (144) of the upper element, the angled portion angled relative to the top and the bottom of the upper element. A lower element (104) having a first lower element portion (122) and a second lower element portion (124) coupled together by a joint (126), the joint allowing the first lower element portion to fold relative to the second lower element portion and the upper element. A slide enabling member (302/304), coupling the upper element to the lower element such that when the upper element and the lower element are in a closed configuration (100), the upper element prevents the lower element from folding. A biasing member (128), biasing the lower element to fold about the joint when the upper element is slid to an extended position.

Abstract: A sliding mechanism (100) for a portable electronic device (500) includes a first sliding member (10), a second sliding member (20), at least one cushion (30), and at least one elastic member (40). The first sliding member has a first body (11). At least one guiding rail (12) is formed on the first body. The second sliding member has a second body (21). At least one guiding arm (22) is formed on the second body. The cushion has a main body (31). The main body defines a receiving slot (314) therein. The guiding rail is configured for reception in the receiving slot. The cushion and the elastic member are sandwiched between the guiding rail and the guiding arm.

Abstract: An installation for fighting fire in a space which includes a spray head (1a', 2a') of such a type that it is capable of producing extinguishing medium in the form of a finely divided liquid mist with a great penetrating ability and a simultaneous suction near the spray head. To obtain an installation which as regards its construction is simple and with which a fire in a space can be very efficiently extinguished so that the fumes are purified at the same time as the amount of water can be very small, the spray head (1a', 2a", 1b', 2b') is arranged in a pipe (3a', 3b') with a suction opening (67a', 67b') at a distance of 1 to 10 m from the floor level (24) of the room and a spray opening (45a', 45') near the floor level, whereby the spray head is arranged to spray in the direction from the suction opening to the spray opening to create a suction in the suction opening.

Abstract: There is disclosed an adapter and anchoring means combination for securing floor coverings into position on floors or the like. The adapter comprises a longitudinal strip for attachment to a reverse surface of the covering or carpet and a locking projection formed integrally with and extending along a longitudinal edge of the strip. The anchoring means is in the form of plinth or baseboard and has an elongate channel and a slit communicating coextensively with the channel. The locking projection protrudes from an edge of the carpet and is retained in locked relation to the channel when the adapter is attached to the carpet.
