  • Patent number: 7121588
    Abstract: A folder with a clamping device for receiving material in sheet form includes a jacket made of a flat, flexible material. By means of a first indentation configuration, this is divided up into a rear leaf and a backbone part and by means of a second indentation configuration into the backbone part and front leaf. The clamping device is provided in a corner region of the rear leaf, adjacent to the backbone part, so that the material in sheet form, insertable into the folder, is held clamped in the respective corner region by the clamping device. The corner region of the rear leaf wherein the clamping device is provided is delimited with respect to the rear leaf by a first crease and the corner region of the front leaf is delimited with respect to the front leaf by a second crease.

  • Patent number: 5762224
    Abstract: A re-enterable environmentally sealed enclosure for housing circuitry and/or cable components of a communication network employs a removable cover attached to an enclosure base by a pivoting cam-tracking system. The tracking configuration positions the cover in a manner that, as it approaches the enclosure base when being closed, a seal located in the cover is evenly compressed along its entire perimeter against a corresponding mating surface on the base, thereby distributing the compressive force equally across the entire seal, with any shear forces substantially eliminated. A single tensioning system is provided adjacent the cam-tracking system, so that the tracking system does not operate as a counter-lever to the tensioning system, and visa versa, thereby improving the distribution of force across the seal.
