  • Patent number: 10938192
    Abstract: A cable cleat assembly secures a bundle of cables to a ladder rack. The cable cleat assembly includes a base and two side bodies. Each side body is pivotally mounted to one of the ends of the base. Each side body has a first end, a middle section, and a second end. The first end of each side body includes a mounting member. The mounting member has a peg extending from each side of the mounting member. The pegs are mounted in the base to enable the side bodies to pivot from an open position to a closed position.

  • Patent number: 5062219
    Abstract: Air flow apparatus for a clothes dryer wherein a flexible wrap having sealing runners is supported in sliding engagement on the rotating drum to cover that portion of the perforated annulus that is not istantaneously aligned with the suction duct. The end of the wrap opposite the direction of rotation of the drum is resiliently held such as by springs such that the tension on the wrap and the pressure on the drum is self-adjusting and maintained substantially constant. Therefore, the sealing runners are maintained in substantially uniform and continuous contact against the drum to limit the air flow path from the drum so that substantially all of the exiting air passes into the suction duct.

  • Patent number: 4934559
    Abstract: A door bar handle for a clothes dryer having a front loading glass door. The door bar attaches to opposite sides of the door frame and spans across in front of the glass to prevent it from being struck by laundry carts and the like. A portion of the door bar is spaced from the glass so as to provide a handle for opening and closing the door, but the remainder of the mid-portion of the door bar is close to the glass so that it won't be used as a hanger rod.

  • Patent number: 4899462
    Abstract: A clothes dryer having a cylndrical lint screen connected to and extending from the rear of a rotating clothes drum having a perforated front annulus and a rear air inlet. An air duct has a mouth at one end positioned adjacent to the perforated annulus and a blower is connected to the opposite end. The blower creates an induced draft on a burner located adjacent to a portion of the lint screen by drawing air from the burner into the drum air inlet and out the perforated annulus into the duct. From the blower, the air is forced into a plenum which is separated into two compartments by the rotating lint screen filter. In passing from one compartment through the lint screen filter to the other compartment from which it is exhausted, airborne lint in the air is collected on the lint screen filter. Rotation of the lint screen filter moves the lint into the flames of the burner where the lint is incinerated.

  • Patent number: 4860791
    Abstract: A strain relief clamp for a washing machine drain hose which includes a pair of hinged clamp members each having a plastic plate with a semi-circular indent adapted for receiving a corrugated drain hose from opposite sides thereby completely surrounding and clamping the drain hose. Each clamp member has a wall which is perpendicular to the plate, which wall members cooperatively form a neck which conforms to the shape of the aperture through which the drain hose exits the washer cabinet. Each wall has a plurality of locking tabs such that when the neck is inserted into the aperture until the plates contact the cabinet panel, the locking tabs snap into place and prevent removal of the strain relief clamp. The hose is thereby securely clamped at its exit through the cabinet panel thereby providing strain relief for the interconnection between the drain hose and the pump.
