  • Patent number: 9987995
    Abstract: An assembly for a storing and releasing a ladder comprising an outer lock that includes outer base extending along an axis and a pole extending transversely from the outer base to a pole end for disposition in a parallel and spaced relationship to the first drop-down arm in the cradle position for preventing the rail of the ladder from falling off the outer lock. A pole anchor connects the pole to the outer base for adjustment to various adjusted positions along the axis. A latch defines a catch for engaging the outer base in the latched position to retain the outer base in the cradle position and a locking hole for receiving a secondary lock to maintain the latch in the latched position.

  • Patent number: 9624939
    Abstract: A magnetic bearing assembly includes a lamination stack with coil apertures extending between opposing sides. A continuous unitary insulation layer is overmolded onto the opposing sides and within the coil apertures providing a coil aperture lining. The insulation layer includes a wall within the coil aperture adjoining coil aperture lining and bisecting the coil aperture into first and second openings. A coil portion is disposed in each of the first and second openings and electrically isolated from one another by the wall. The magnetic bearing assembly is arranged in a refrigerant compressor that includes an electric motor rotationally configured to rotationally drive an impeller via a shaft. A controller is in communication with the magnetic bearing and configured to energize the coils and provide a magnetic field rotationally supporting the shaft.
