  • Patent number: 11949803
    Abstract: The present invention provides a locking mechanism in a mobile terminal and a method of manufacturing the same. The locking mechanism comprises a slider, latch, button, and spring. The slider and latch include openings and may translate between a locked position and an unlocked position. The latch may include a protrusion that limits the translation of the slider and the latch when in the locked position. The button is located within the opening of the slider and the opening of the latch, and the spring member is fixed adjacent the latch. In an instance in which an external force is applied to the button, the external force deforms the spring member such that contact between a vertical edge of the protrusion and the spring is precluded allowing translation of the slider and the latch between the locked position and the unlocked position.

  • Patent number: 8375506
    Abstract: An extractor cleaning machine includes a base or foot, a handle pivotally coupled to the foot, and a suction source in fluid communication with a suction nozzle on the foot. A distributor is in fluid communication with a distribution nozzle on the foot and is operable to distribute a cleaning fluid to the surface through the distribution nozzle. A recovery tank is removably coupled to the foot and is in fluid communication with the suction source. The recovery tank receives and stores the fluid and dirt drawn through the suction nozzle when the recovery tank is in an operating position. A recovery tank handle is formed as a single unitary component with a recovery tank lid to allow a user to uncouple the recovery tank from the foot to empty the recovery tank. The recovery tank also includes a pour spout.
