Abstract: Holding device,comprising a hook body, hinge element and baseplate with an adhesive strip which releaess on pulling and having a grip tab that protrudes beyond the baseplate, wherein the grip tab is normally covered but the hook body can be raised upwards out of its basic position, so that access to the grip tab is possible.

Abstract: An apparatus and method of adjusting the height and/or angle of a keyboard/wrist rest during use. A modified standard keyboard includes a processor, motors, motor controllers, and height adjusting legs to create a keyboard device which changes angle over time. In an alternative embodiment, a retrofit solution for existing keyboards is disclosed. The keyboard may be adjusted incrementally, infinitely, by a pattern, or impulse over a period of time.

Abstract: In known retaining devices for electric motors, rotationally flexible retaining elements on the order of leaf springs are provided between a receiving housing and the electric motor and serve to decouple noise of the electric motor. The novel retaining device for an electric motor includes retaining elements that extend axially between a receiving housing and the motor housing. These retaining elements enable low-frequency decoupling below the frequencies to be decoupled; on the occurrence of natural resonance when the electric motor is turned on and off or there are shocks from outside, the torsional motion of the retaining elements is limited by stop elements. The retaining device is especially well suited to electric motors of blowers.

Abstract: A cup holder used in a vehicle includes a storing portion fixed to the vehicle, a slider slidably accommodated in the storing portion, a cup inserting hole provided in the slider, an arm rotatably disposed around a shaft attached to the slider near the cup inserting hole, and a diameter changing device. The diameter changing device includes a tracing portion fixed to the arm to slide along an inner side surface of the storing portion, a spring for urging the tracing portion toward the inner side surface of the storing portion to thereby allow an end of the arm to rotate in a direction of reducing an inner diameter of the cup inserting hole, and a cam surface protruded from the inner side surface of the storing portion. When the slider is drawn out from the storing portion, the end of the arm is rotated by the cam surface in a direction of enlarging the inner diameter of the cup inserting hole. Generation of a noise at the time of pulling out the slider from the storing portion is prevented.

Abstract: A bendable cable trough section is provided having a U-shaped cross-section, such as for holding telecommunications cables. In one embodiment, alternating segments of rigid first sections and compressible second sections are provided. The first sections are preferably made of plastic. The second sections are preferably made of foam joined with adhesive to the first sections. Elongated strengthening members may be provided.

Abstract: A power seat device includes a lifting mechanism having a rocking member for moving a seat cushion up and down, an axially movable screw member retained at its one end by the rocking member, and a housing box provided with a gear mechanism for reducing the revolution of a motor to move the screw member axially. The power seat device is also provided with a holding member for retaining and holding the housing box.

Abstract: A cabinet having brackets disposed to support shelves behind glass panes of the front wall of the cabinet in a location concealed behind one horizontal mullion. The cabinet has at least two other vertical walls having a plurality of pre-drilled screw holes for attaching brackets, and at least one shelf which fits behind the front wall and between the vertical walls. Each bracket is generally L-shaped, having a flat vertical leg bearing a plurality of holes for passing a fastener and a flat horizontal leg for supporting a shelf. The vertical leg has two short extensions projecting beyond the horizontal leg, thereby stabilizing the bracket against tilting responsive to weight being imposed thereon. The horizontal leg has a neck adjoining the vertical leg which enlarges to form a broad head. The head is rounded and is of width no greater than that of the vertical leg. Distal ends of the short extensions and of the main section of the vertical leg are also rounded.

Abstract: A lever clamp which can be securely mounted at selected locations along a shelf or similar object includes a body member containing a slot for receiving the shelf, and a lever or clamping member pivotally connected with the body member which serves to clamp the clamp to the shelf when pivoted to an upright position. Items such as a lamp or dispenser, but not including a stop member, partition or banding and binning, are connected with the top of the clamping member to attach such objects to the shelf. A L-shaped body member is also disclosed in which a portion of the clamping member is connected with a stop member, partition, lamp or other item to attach said items to a shelf. Also disclosed are a flex member for the lever clamp which serves to increase the clamping force on the shelf as the load applied to the clamping member increases as well as latching means for the lever clamp and the previously disclosed clamping bookend. A one-piece lever clamp is also disclosed.

Abstract: An improved structure ceiling fan mount comprised of a suspender frame having a flat mounting plate that is installed onto the ceiling and a carrier fixture with a receptacle extending downward from the center, a suspender rod providing for the suspension and mounting of a ceiling fan and having a hemispherical head section at the top end that is retained in the said carrier fixture, and a mount cover that fits over the circumference of suspender frame. The innovations are that the mounting plate has diametrically aligned and horizontally oriented insertion slots formed in its thick lateral end areas and there is a mounting dimple is formed at the end of each insertion slot. Limit ribs are press formed in alignment with the insertion slots of the mounting plate along the inner diameter of the mount cover and a positioning nib is press formed at the end of each limit rib.

Abstract: A new hopper stand for holding the hopper of a texturing spraying device in a stable position above a surface. The inventive device includes a main support member and a secondary support member. The main support member has an elongate base portion and a pair of spaced apart elongate leg portions. The secondary support member has a base portion and a leg portion. The base portion of the secondary support member is coupled to the base portion of the main support member. An upper support rail is coupled to the leg portions of the main support member and the secondary support member. A lower support rail is also coupled to the leg portions of the main support member and the secondary support member.
