Abstract: The single cell partition forms a barrier between front and rear passenger areas of a vehicle, and provides access to a portion of the rear passenger area by occupants of the front passenger area who are not in custody. In addition, the single cell partition protects and secures custodial occupants contained therein from non-custodial occupants present in the additional available space in the rear passenger area.

Abstract: A heavy-duty jamb latch for securing sliding doors to a rough opening of a building or structure includes a base plate, a handle, side plates adjacent and pivotably connected to the base plate, a carrier pin passing through recesses in the base plate and apertures in the side plates, and rigid members fastened to the carrier pin via bores drilled into the carrier pin. The rigid members extend away from the handle and secure sliding doors to a rough opening of a building or structure. The heavy-duty jamb latch may be mounted to the rough opening of the building or structure and may transition from an open position to a closed position by pulling the handle, thereby securing the sliding doors to the rough opening of the building or structure. Additionally, a locking pin or a padlock may lock the heavy-duty jamb latch.

Abstract: A weapon mount assembly comprising a mounting structure with a mounting hole therethrough for receiving a mounting connector having a head for mounting the assembly to an object, the mounting structure having a front surface and a rear surface, the mounting hole having sufficient depth that the head of the mounting connector can be recessed relative to the front face; an elongated track on the front surface of the mounting structure; a weapon lock configured to receive barrel of a weapon and slidable along the length of the track; and fasteners for locking the weapon lock in the track over the mounting hole, wherein the track is sufficiently long that the weapon lock can be locked by the fasteners over the mounting hole to prevent access to the head of the fastener.

Abstract: Vehicular cargo of a vehicle transporter is supported by elongate vehicle support members. Elevated vehicle support members are supported above the vehicular frame of the transporter and moved by screw actuators that are self-locking.

Abstract: A vehicle support and restraint system for a vehicle transporter permits the operator to consistently and securely install either soft tie-down or hard tie-down cargo vehicle restraint while standing at ground level.

Abstract: A cargo retaining winch includes a rotationally secured winch shaft that is substantially longer than the width of a flexible member to be wound on the winch to secure cargo. The flexible member can be wound in one of a continuity of locations along the longitudinal axis of the winch shaft to improve alignment of the flexible member and the cargo.

Abstract: The present invention is a universal ridge clip for attachment of a ridge cap along the peak of a centrally located roof ridge, usually on metal buildings. The clip may also be used on a “hip” roof application. The ridge clip is of a construction such that it provides a strong support area for the ridge cap without the need for fasteners that would penetrate the roof panel at exposed areas to the weather. It generally is a Z-shaped clip having a top fastening area, and a bottom anchoring area with these joined by a generally upright panel having a notch therein to allow roof ribs to pass through the notch.

Abstract: A vehicle transporter having a vehicular frame with at least one vehicle support member movable by a lifting motor along a structural member between different elevations. At least one locking member interacts between the vehicle support member and the structural member, the locking member having a locked position preventing movement of the vehicle support member along the structural member, and an unlocked position permitting such movement. A resiliently-yieldable biasing device is selectively operable by a controller to urge the locking member resiliently at least toward the unlocked position, and preferably alternatively toward the locked position as well.

Abstract: A display container comprises a base having a planar supporting surface, the planar supporting surface being cant relative to horizontal along two orthogonal axes. The display container may also include a transparent cover disposed on the base, and a box foldingly enclosing the base and the transparent cover.

Abstract: An independent suspension is provided for a vehicle having a floor located between the vehicle's wheels. The independent suspension includes a light weight trailing arm pivotally attached at one end to the vehicle. An air brake actuator is affixed to the trailing arm below the floor of the vehicle. An axle supporting a wheel is cantilevered from the outboard edge of the trailing arm and an air spring is interposed between the trailing arm and the vehicle's body to oppose the force exerted by the axle. The trailing arm has a substantially planar body with a wall extending substantially around the periphery of the body. A thickened section of the body extends over an area of the lower surface of the planar body under the inner portion of the air spring bearing area. The construction of the trailing arm and the widely spaced frame attachment points make possible a suspension system having low unsprung mass but not requiring additional links to the frame for stability.

Abstract: A tie-down system for a vehicle transporter comprises a tie-down apparatus for securing a vehicle to a longitudinally-extending elongate vehicle transporter, comprising a vehicle support assembly, including a front deck and further including a rear deck that is variably positionable with respect to said front deck. At least four variably positionable securement devices are associated with the vehicle support assembly and attachable to the vehicle. A respective flexible tension member portion is interconnected with a respective one of each of the four securement devices to enable nonuniform variations in relative positions of the securement devices, each tension member portion capable of exerting a pull-down force on a respective one of the securement devices.

Abstract: A soffit for a building having an exterior wall covered by siding and further having a fascia strip spaced outwardly from the wall includes an elongated soffit strip having a channel formed therein adapted to receive the siding, and a folded portion laterally spaced apart from the channel; the folded portion having a folded back portion extending toward the channel, a folded forward portion extending away from the channel, and a transition portion connecting the folded back portion and the folded forward portion so as to define an opening therebetween for receiving an adjacent member; and at least one interlocking member on the soffit strip for detachably mounting the soffit strip to the adjacent member without the use of tools.

Abstract: A vent for a building includes an elongated vent cover having generally opposite ends. First and second spaced flexible flashing strips can be mounted to the vent cover to form an integrated assembly for mounting on the building so as to extend across a vent opening therein. The ends of the vent cover and the flashing strips having matingly interlocking members thereon for detachably mounting the flexible flashing strips to the vent cover. This can be done without the use of tools. The interlocking members can comprise a pair of lances formed in the end of the vent cover and in corresponding locations on the flashing strips.

Abstract: A tie-down apparatus for securing a vehicle to a longitudinally-extending elongate vehicle transporter comprises a vehicle support assembly and at least four securement devices associated with the vehicle support assembly and attachable to the vehicle. A respective tension member portion is interconnected with a respective one of each of the four securement devices. Each tension member portion is capable of exerting a pull-down force on a respective one of the securement devices. A tension-applying mechanism is interconnected with each tension member portion to adjust the pull-down force on each of the securement devices. A tension-equalizing mechanism is interconnected with each tension member portion and is capable of automatically substantially equally distributing tension applied by the tension-applying mechanism among each tension member portion, to substantially equalize the pull-down force automatically with respect to the four securement devices.
