Abstract: A lockable corner bracket includes a lockable encapsulated axle pulley which houses one end of a length of cord, with the free end secured to a side bracket. A cord locking mechanism is used to lock the encapsulated axle pulley and prevent unwinding of the cord, or loss of tension, during transport and installation to facilitate do-it-yourself installation. The axle pulley is further configured with a central slot to allow frontal insertion of a roller tube. The corner bracket may be used with a manual roller screen including roller tubes fitted with spring assist systems to facilitate winding and unwinding of the screen, or with roller tubes fitted with a tubular motor to drive rotation of the roller tube.

Abstract: A below belt seal assembly for use in a window seal assembly includes an extruded strip of material extending in length between strip ends and having a base and first and second sides extending the base with each side having an engagement area and first and second lips extending outwardly from the engagement areas. A molding is formed about the base and each of the sides and terminates at the engagement areas of the sides such that the molding is spaced from the lips, with the molding forming at least one bracket bonded to the extruded strip. A fastener is attached to the bracket for facilitating mounting of the assembly to the vehicle.

Abstract: The aerial work platform comprises a chassis 2, a work platform 10 and a lifting structure 20 that comprises at least one boom 26 able to be raised and lowered and a pendular arm 30 mounted at the top end of the boom 26 and supporting the platform 10. It also comprises sensors 51, 52 for detecting the proximity of the platform 10 to an obstacle. On-board electronics automatically puts the aerial work platform in a compact position on request by an operator by controlling the lifting structure 20 according to the signals from the sensors 51, 52 in order to take account of the surroundings. In the compact position, the aerial work platform is suitable for transport on a trailer or flatbed lorry. This avoids the transporter having himself to control the various movements of the lifting structure 20 in order to bring the aerial work platform into the compact transportation position.
