  • Patent number: 5619777
    Abstract: An engaging device comprising a supporting part and an engaging part mounted on the supporting part for pivotal movement about two spaced apart axes between two stable conditions, one being an engaging condition and the other being a release condition. A portion of the engaging part disposed between the two axes is of resiliently compressible construction to accommodate movement of the engaging part between the two stable conditions. The portion of the engaging part is provided with a formation which biases the portion to deflect towards one lateral side thereof as the engaging part moves between the two stable conditions.

  • Patent number: 5446948
    Abstract: An engaging device for releasably engaging an object. The engaging device comprising a supporting part and an engaging part mounted on the supporting part, for pivotal movement about two spaced apart axes defined by pivot pins, between a stable engaging condition and a stable release condition. A portion of the engaging part disposed between the two axes is resiliently flexible and adapted to undergo resilient deflection as the engaging part moves between the two stable conditions thereby to urge the engaging part into one or the other of the stable conditions. The supporting part may define a housing which accommodates the engaging part and which provides structural rigidity.

  • Patent number: 5284258
    Abstract: A device (10) for supporting articles (11) in a pile so that any one of the articles in the pile can be removed without disrupting the orderly arrangement of the pile. The device (10) comprises a guide means (13) and a plurality of spacing elements (20) mounted on and slidably movable along the guide means (13). The spacing elements adjacent to one another when in a spaced apart relationship define a storage zone (29) each for receiving and storing one of the articles. The spacing elements (20) serve to maintain at least partial separation between articles in the pile to permit any one of the articles to be removed without disrupting the pile. As each article (13) is removed from the pile, the spacing elements above it slide down along the guide means (13) to progressively decrease the height of the pile.
