  • Patent number: 8233283
    Abstract: A power supply device (10) comprises a casing (26), a support structure (14) and driving means (42) for selectively rotating the casing (26) relative to the support structure (14). The casing (26) houses electrical equipment (36) and electrical sockets (30,32,34). The support structure (14) is attachable to the top (12) of an article of furniture and supports the casing (26) for rotation about an axis (28), parallel to the top (12). The casing (26) can be rotated by the driving means between an operative position in which the electrical sockets (30,32,34) face upwards and are accessible above the top (12), and a stowed position in which the electrical sockets (30,32,34) are not accessible from above the top (12). The casing (26) has a protuberance (40) that extends around the electrical sockets (30,32,34) and the protuberance (40) stands proud of the top (12) when the casing (26) is in its operative position.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20020189058
    Abstract: A sensor clip for positioning a sensor relative to a substrate, particularly but not exclusively a temperature sensor (e.g. a thermocouple) used to obtain a temperature profile of a part of the substrate or surrounding environment as it passes through an industrial oven. The sensor clip comprises a first part and a second part slidably mounted with respect to the first part, the parts defining a pair of jaws having opposed surfaces for engaging sides of the substrate, with jaw separation being determined by linear movement of one part relative to the other.

  • Publication number: 20020050369
    Abstract: Thermally insulating apparatus for housing heat sensitive electronic apparatus, comprises an open-topped box with a detachable lid. A gasket is provided to form a heat seal between the open-topped container and the lid. At least one external surface of the gasket, which is exposed to ambient conditions when the lid is removed from the box, is unreactive to the extent whereby hydrophilic particles (e.g. dust) coming into contact therewith are not contaminated and made hydrophobic. The presence of hydrophobic particles may interfere with processes where the thermally insulating apparatus is deployed, and thus maintaining inherent hydrophilic properties may be important.
