  • Publication number: 20200316990
    Abstract: A swivel caster (1) including a support plate (2) for connection to a container, and including a caster mount (3) having a caster (6) rotatable about a horizontal rotation axis (H). The caster mount (3) is connected to the support plate (2) rotatable about a vertical rotation axis (V). At least one first magnet (15a) is connected to the caster mount (3) and at least one second magnet (15b) is connected to the support plate (2). The magnets (15a, 15b) are magnetized and disposed so as to be mutually parallel including a gap in such in an alignment of the caster mount outside a defined basic alignment (G) of the caster mount (3) the magnets (15a, 15b) interact such that the caster mount (3) swings into basic alignment (G). The caster mount (3) has a cover plate (11) which collectively with the saucer (9) of the support plate (2) and with the mounting plate (7) encloses an intermediate space for the magnets (15a, 15b).

  • Patent number: 9938756
    Abstract: A door brace (10) comprising: an engagement member (12) comprising a bottom flange (14) comprising one face comprising a textured surface (14a) to engage with a door (34); an angled leg (20) comprising a first section (22) hingedly connected at one end to the wall and a second section (23) extending from the first section at a first angle, the leg being movable between a stowed position and an extended position in which the first section makes a second angle, larger than the first angle, to the wall; an engagement foot (26) pivotably mounted on a mounting element (24) having an adjustable length; and a hinge stop configured to prevent the leg moving beyond a maximum extended position. Wherein, in an extended position, the second section of the leg extends at a third angle to the wall equal to the difference between the second and first angles and the engagement foot causes a clamping force to be applied to the door.

  • Patent number: 9702174
    Abstract: A door brace (10) comprising a door engagement member (12), a leg (20) and an engagement foot (26). The door engagement member (12) comprises a bottom flange (14) for location under a bottom edge of a door (34) and an engagement wall (16) having one face (18) for location against one side of the door. The leg comprises a fixed length section(22)and an adjustable length section (24). The leg is hingedly connected to the engagement wall and is movable between a bracing position in which it extends at a first angle to the engagement wall and a released position in which it extends at a smaller angle to the engagement wall. The door brace has a released condition in which the leg is in the released position and the adjustable length section of the leg has a first length and a bracing condition in which the leg is in the bracing position and the adjustable length section of the leg has a longer length.

  • Patent number: 6881908
    Abstract: A keyboard of the present invention satisfies any desired specifications, i.e., a desired number and a desired arrangement of key switches. A switch circuit board and frame members are respectively cut away from a large, original frame material and an elongate, original frame material in accordance with the desired arrangement of key switches. The keyboard can therefore be produced by a minimum number of designing and producing steps. Moreover, it is not necessary to prepare many different kinds of parts beforehand. The keyboard is particularly suitable for many kinds, small quantity production that produces keyboards with different specifications to order.
