  • Patent number: 11885391
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device comprising a body and a set of vibration absorbers mounted on the body, each absorber being movable relative to the body between a first position and a second position, each absorber being capable of oscillating relative to the body between its first and second positions, a first natural frequency being defined for each absorber, at least one absorber having a first natural frequency different from the first natural frequency of another absorber. Each absorber comprises at least one deformation part capable of deforming as the vibration absorber oscillates between its first position and its second position, the deformation part having at least two faces configured to rub against each other during the deformation of the deformation part.

  • Patent number: 11873876
    Abstract: A dynamic balance type vertical vibration isolator includes slide blocks, balance springs, mass blocks, a fixed block, rotation shafts, stiffness-adjustable springs, etc. When an earthquake force is upward, the stiffness-adjustable springs are compressed, upward forces of the stiffness-adjustable springs are increased, meanwhile, the slide blocks and the mass blocks move away from the fixed block, the balance springs are stretched to generate pull forces, and the pull forces have vertically upward components, so as to reduce compression degrees of the stiffness-adjustable springs, and further to reduce the upward forces of the stiffness-adjustable springs.

  • Patent number: 11828406
    Abstract: A support system for a display device includes a first arm configured to extend from a support surface. A second arm is rotatably connected to the first arm. The second arm has a range of movement relative to the first arm. A tilt head is rotatably connected to the second arm and configured to connect to a display. A first biasing member is positioned in the second arm and configured to provide a first counterbalancing force to the second arm to offset a load of the display. A second biasing member is positioned in the second arm and configured to provide a second counterbalancing force to the second arm to offset the load of the display. A lockout mechanism is configured to disengage the second biasing member and eliminate the second counterbalancing force through at least a portion of the range of movement.

  • Patent number: 11739568
    Abstract: A security apparatus secures a laptop, and particularly a convertible laptop, to a mounting surface. The security apparatus comprises a housing assembly, and a first arm assembly and a second arm assembly extending from and retractable into the housing assembly. A first end assembly and second end assembly are mounted to the first arm assembly, and a second end assembly. Each arm assembly secures a first side and a second side of a lower body portion of the laptop. A trapping member is positioned in the housing assembly to lock the arm assemblies. A locking rod has a first end extending outside the support housing and a second end extending into the housing assembly and into engagement with the trapping member, the locking rod configured to move the trapping member into engagement with the first and second arm assemblies.

  • Patent number: 11612237
    Abstract: A lifting device with a cable management is provided. The lifting device includes: an outer pipe, an actuation mechanism, a linkage member, a cable, and a cable management component. The actuation mechanism is accommodated in the outer pipe and has a motor and a screw rod. The linkage member is accommodated in the outer pipe and mutually screw-fitted with the screw rod to operate, and moves relative to the outer pipe. The cable has a spiral coiled cable unit. A shaft core line in parallel with the screw rod is defined by the spiral coiled cable unit. The cable management component is disposed in the outer pipe and in parallel to the shaft core line. The spiral coiled cable unit is reeled on the cable management component. Accordingly, the cable may be stably positioned and the cable may be prevented from rubbing or being tangled with the screw rod.
