Patent number: 8087275Abstract: A multiple dial lock includes reset dials rotatable around a lock shaft. Each reset dial must be at a specific angular position for a user to unlock the lock or reset the combination. Each reset dial has a magnet. A master key includes sensors, each in communication with one signal. Each of the signals indicates to a user that a respective magnet is adjacent a respective sensor, thus assisting a user in recovering a lost combination. A rotary lock includes a dial which rotates a drive cam, which in turn rotates several wheels to their unlocking positions. One magnet for each wheel is provided on the drive cam. Each magnet communicates with one sensor provided on a master key, which also includes signals, indicating that a respective magnet is adjacent a respective sensor, thus assisting a user in recovering a lost combination.Type: GrantFiled: August 27, 2010Date of Patent: January 3, 2012Assignee: ACCO Brands USA LLCInventors: Carl H.

Patent number: 7635272Abstract: Locking and blocking devices for USB ports include a lock having a linear cam with a lock button at its back end, and a locking member pivotally connected at its back end to a retaining sheath such that forward sliding of the linear cam pivots the locking member outwards. The front end of the locking member is biased toward the interior of the lock. The locking member has protrusions at its front end configured for insertion into holes of a USB port. A blocking plate includes at least one opening configured for insertion of the retaining sheath. A retaining bracket has a back face that defines a first opening, wider than the cable that connects a plug to an external device. The front face of the bracket defines a second opening configured for insertion of the retaining sheath, and a third opening configured for insertion of the plug.Type: GrantFiled: August 17, 2007Date of Patent: December 22, 2009Assignee: Acco Brands USA LLCInventor: Carl H.

Patent number: 6346681Abstract: A pressure switch having a pressure responsive diaphragm with a backing plate for operating a snap-acting switch. The switch has a cantilevered contact blade spring with an adjustment screw providing a reaction support at the free end. The middle portion of the contact blade spring provides a preload bias against the diaphragm backing plate. The blade spring includes a moveable electrical contact on a tang formed in the middle region and includes an over-center spring for effecting a snap action of the moveable contact against stationary contacts. The actuation-deactuation differential is determined, independently of the pressure setting for switch actuation, by setting the position of the stationary contacts.Type: GrantFiled: September 28, 1995Date of Patent: February 12, 2002Inventors: Ronald S. Joyce, Carl H. Poppe, Paul H. Tuma
