  • Patent number: 10064489
    Abstract: A flat panel mounting system includes a TV bracket and a wall bracket. The TV bracket is adapted to be mounted to a flat display. The TV bracket includes a flange extending from an elongate panel thereof and a lip extending from the flange. The wall bracket is adapted to be mounted to a wall and includes a flange extending from an elongate panel thereof. The flange and elongate panel of the wall bracket define a laterally extending channel. The wall bracket also includes a flapper moveable within the channel between forward and rearward positions. When the TV bracket is placed on the wall bracket in an assembled position, the flange and lip of the TV bracket is received within the channel and is prohibited from being removed from the channel by the flapper via coaction between the lip and the flapper while the flapper is in the forward position.

  • Patent number: 10066785
    Abstract: A display screen support device includes a base unit providing an upright shaft and a stop member at the upright shaft, a first support arm including a first pivot-connection device coupled to the upright shaft and supported on the stop member and a first extension device transversely extended from the first pivot-connection device for supporting a display screen, and a second support arm including a second pivot-connection device coupled to the first pivot-connection device and a second extension device transversely extended from the second pivot-connection for supporting another display screen. The second pivot-connection device of the second support arm relative can be biased relative to the first pivot-connection device of the first support arm within a limited angle for allowing adjustment of the relative angular position between the two supported display screens.

  • Patent number: 10069290
    Abstract: A method for attaching a cable or wire to a support surface comprising the following steps: selecting a connector body with a bottom surface, a coaxially aligned center void, at least two pairs of transversely aligned holes formed on the side walls of the cylindrical body configured to receive a twist tie extended transversely through the connector body, and a center bore formed on the center void; selecting a desired location on a support surface for attaching the connector body; inserting a connector into the center bore or attaching adhesive tape to the bottom surface of the connector body to attach the connector body to the support surface; selecting at least one twist tie and inserting it into two holes formed the opposite sides of the connector body and across the center void; extending a cable or wire transversely over the connector body, and; twisting the opposite ends of the twist tie together to hold the cable or wire over the connector body.

  • Patent number: 10064299
    Abstract: An assembly bracket coupled to a component for locking and releasing the component with a latch of a component receiving module on a component board. The assembly bracket having a rotary hinge connected to a support bracket, a handle rotatable about the rotatory hinge between a retracted position and a deployed position, a linkage rotatably coupled to the handle, and a support lever coupled to the linkage and having an engagement member to engage the latch. When the handle is in the retracted position, the engagement member is engaged with the latch, thereby securing the component in the component receiving module. When the handle transitions from the retracted position to the deployed position, the support lever applies a force away from the component receiving module to thereby decouple the component from the component receiving module.

  • Patent number: 10046909
    Abstract: The disclosed pads are engaged with dumpster supports to spread the weight of the dumpster over a large surface area and provide a relatively soft ground contact interface to prevent damage to paved surfaces on which the dumpster may be placed. The pads define a cavity complementary to the dumpster support and may be affixed to the support by straps or fasteners. The pads can be constructed of flexible material and distorted to open the cavity to receive the support, then relaxed to grip the support. The pads have a ground contact surface greater than a contact surface of the dumpster support and may include grooves in the ground contact surface.

  • Patent number: 10047532
    Abstract: This disclosure relates to a work machine with a chassis, with a mast block which is mounted on the chassis and has a rotary head which can be rotated about a vertical axis of rotation, and with a mast which has at least two mast arms, wherein each of the mast arms, with the exception of a last mast arm which has a free end, is pivotably connected, starting from a first mast arm, to the respectively following mast arm by means of an articulation, and wherein the first mast arm is mounted on the rotary head so as to be pivotable about a horizontal pivot axis. According to this disclosure, at least one chassis-mounted supporting device is provided which has a supporting surface on which a component of the articulation or a component of one of the articulations is supported.

  • Patent number: 10045615
    Abstract: A modular and reconfigurable stand is provided. The stand has legs that support bolt plates and the bolt plates are bolted to brace assemblies. The brace assemblies support shelves. The brace includes structurally identical cross damping support arms. The brace assembly also includes structurally identical first and second brace mounts. Each of the cross damping support arms is connected to each of the first and second brace mounts, and the brace mounts are connected to two legs. Double damper brace assemblies are also provided. In another embodiment a modular performance stand is provided having cross damping support arms that are connected to first and second modular shelf mounts having channels. The channels support four or more isolator elements. The modularity of the cross damping support arms and modular shelf mounts allows the width and depth of the modular performance stand to be varied to optimize performance.

  • Patent number: 10018225
    Abstract: A supporting device is disclosed, which comprises a support; a slider including at least one self-lubricating block; a pressing block disposed at the second opening, abutting the inner side of the second opening, and fixed on the slider so that the slider may tightly abut against the support through the self-lubricating block; and an elastic element disposed between the support and the slider. When a force is applied to the slider, the slider may move between a highest position and a lowest position with respect to the support while the self-lubricating block rubs the support. When the force is removed, the slider may stop at any vertical height with respect to the support.
