Patent number: 9651170Abstract: A chain including chain-link units pivotally connected with each other. Each chain-link unit includes two lateral plates, a first link plate and a second link plate. Two ends of the lateral plates are defined as a first end and a second end. Two first pin-joint parts are configured near the first ends of the lateral plates respectively, and two second pin-joint parts are configured near the second ends of the lateral plates respectively. The chain-link units are pivotally connected with each other via the first pin-joint part and the second pin-joint part. Thus, the chain-link units are common, and each can be the starting chain-link unit, the middle chain-link unit or the ending chain-link unit. They can be easily assembled without screws, which further reduce the time consumption. Moreover, the noise made as the chain works can be reduced, and a buffering function can also be provided.Type: GrantFiled: October 27, 2015Date of Patent: May 16, 2017Assignees: LITE-ON ELECTRONICS (GUANGZHOU) LIMITED, LITE-ON TECHNOLOGY CORPORATIONInventors: Yu-Cheng Lin, Wei-Chih Sun

Patent number: 9562735Abstract: A crossbow track assembly includes a crossbow track having a top surface and a side surface. The top surface includes an arrow track. The side surface includes a longitudinal passage leading to a longitudinal cavity. The side surface forms an upper shoulder and a lower shoulder of the longitudinal cavity. A second side surface may include a second longitudinal passage leading to a second longitudinal cavity. The second side surface may form an upper shoulder and a lower shoulder of the second longitudinal cavity. The crossbow track assembly may further include a crossbow accessory including an accessory body operatively connected to a plug, which is dimensioned to fit within the longitudinal cavity of the crossbow track for securing the accessory body to the crossbow track. The accessory body may be adjustably connected to the plug with a fastener. Alternatively, the plug may be in sliding engagement with the longitudinal cavity.Type: GrantFiled: January 5, 2015Date of Patent: February 7, 2017Assignee: Barnett Outdoors, LLCInventor: David A.

Patent number: 9528635Abstract: An HVAC line set duct system includes a line set duct with a channel clip. The duct houses an HVAC line set and includes a channel connector for slidably securing the channel clips along the length of the line set duct. The channel clips have collars that engage tie wraps that in turn secure the HVAC line set to the line set duct. The channel clips are installed onto the line set channel connector by exerting a force perpendicular to the length of the line set duct so that the channel clips snap onto the channel connector and slide along the channel connector.Type: GrantFiled: November 5, 2015Date of Patent: December 27, 2016Assignee: Diversitech CorporationInventors: Bryce Lowe, Emanuel Jones, Jonathan Sada
