  • Patent number: 8297493
    Abstract: A mail box flag assembly for use on common mail boxes having a hinged front door in front. The flag assembly mounts on the front of the hinged front mail box door consisting of a detachable flag (that can be customized to provide house numbers, or themed logos). The flag is attached to a rotating arm that rests on a raised slotted bracket when not in use. When in use (indicating mail is contained in the mailbox for delivery by the postal carrier) the arm is rotated on a rod outward (perpendicular to the mail box door) slides downward until it fits into a raised slotted bracket that holds the flag arm in place so a postal carrier can see the extended flag and know that mail is contained in the mail box for delivery.

  • Patent number: 8260800
    Abstract: A system and method for digital image generation, delivery, and management is provided. The automated image generation, delivery, and management system and method serves processed images over a network. A requesting application provides a URL in addition to field values. The image delivery system retrieves and serves an image based on the requested URL. A sized image and a default image are saved in a database for rapid retrieval. If the system can generate an image sized to the request, it does so. Otherwise, the system visits the URL to obtain a snapshot of the rendered webpage. If no webpage is available with the URL as provided, the URL is truncated until a displayable webpage is rendered.

  • Patent number: 8028451
    Abstract: A tag holder (12) formed as a single stamping defines a singular body having a first tab (16), a second tab (24), and a third tab (38). The second tab (24) is cut from the first tab (16) to define an aperture (18) in the first tab for receiving a hanger rod (62) of a product display, and then the second tab (24) is folded from the first tab (16) and aligned adjacent the third tab (38). Protuberant lance portions (30) are formed from a surface (26) of the second tab (24) and extend toward the third tab (38). A hang tag (50) is placed between the second tab (24) and the third tab (38), with the aperture (18) in the first tab (16) aligned adjacent a hanger aperture (54) of the hang tag (50), and then the second tab (24) is pushed toward the third tab (38) with the protuberant lance portions (30) extending through the hang tag (50) and against the third tab (38) to secure hang tag (50) to the tag holder (12).

  • Patent number: 7967399
    Abstract: A drawer slide (12) has a moveable lock member (30) and a set of spaced apart slots (24, 26, 28) configured for receiving respective chassis mounting lugs (22). The slots (24, 28) are substantially vertical, and the slot (26) extends on one side of the slots (24, 28) and at an angle to the vertical, sloping downward and away from the slots (24, 28). The lock member (30) is linearly moveable from a closed position adjacent to the slot (24) to an open position aside of the slot (24) to selectively allow the mounting lug (22) to be removed from the slot (24). The lock member (30) includes an elongate tab (42) for slidably fitting within an elongate slot (44) in the drawer slide (12), and an elongate slot (58) through which a rivet extends to slidably secure the lock member (30) to the drawer slide (12).

  • Patent number: 7914313
    Abstract: A clamping mechanism (18) for an IC socket (14) is disclosed having two moveable arms (36) which are spaced apart on opposite sides of the IC socket (14), with first ends pivotally secured to a fixed shaft (34) at moveable arm pivot points for moving from a lifted position to a lowered position, extending across the IC socket (14). Two clamp arms (38) are spaced apart on opposite sides of the IC socket (14), and have formed ends (40) pivotally secured to the second ends (166) of the moveable arms (36) at latch pivot points. The clamp arms (38) are configured such that, when the moveable arms (36) are disposed in the lowered positions and the clamp arms (38) are disposed in the clamping positions, a hooking shaft (32) is disposed in the self-locking positions in openings (156) in the clamp arms (38) such that upward forces applied to the moveable arms (36) will engage the hooking shaft (32) against the clamp arms (38) and urge the clamp arms (38) into the latched position.
