  • Patent number: 11686090
    Abstract: A leveling assembly for leveling a bottom edge of an interior wall panel includes an elongate floor channel secured to the floor, a floor rail at least partially disposed with the floor channel for supporting the bottom edge of the wall panel, and at least one leveler at least partially located within the floor rail. Each leveler includes a head couplable to the floor channel, an adjustment rod projecting from the head, and a rail support having a collar and a support shoulder extending outwardly from the collar. The head is substantially prevented from transverse movement when coupled to the floor channel. The collar passes through an aperture defined in a horizontal portion of the floor rail and is threadedly engaged with the adjustment rod. The support shoulder supports the floor rail. The adjustment rod is rotated to vary a vertical distance between the floor rail and the floor channel.

  • Publication number: 20230142555
    Abstract: There is provided an organic waste processing device comprising: an organic matter-receiving container defining an organic matter-receiving chamber; a gas-propelling unit; a gas-plenum chamber in gas communication with the gas-propelling unit; and a grinding assembly at least partially contained in the organic matter-receiving chamber. The grinding assembly comprises a drive shaft and a rotatable blade assembly including a blade support sleeve mounted to the drive shaft and being engaged in rotation therewith. The rotatable blade assembly further includes at least one blade mounted to the blade support sleeve. An inner surface of the blade support sleeve is spaced-apart from an outer peripheral surface of the drive shaft to define a gas flow channel extending longitudinally into the griding assembly and providing gas communication between the gas-plenum chamber and the organic matter-receiving chamber.

  • Patent number: 11299887
    Abstract: A leveling assembly for leveling a bottom edge of an interior wall panel includes an elongate floor channel secured to the floor, a floor rail at least partially disposed with the floor channel, at least one panel support positioned within the floor rail for supporting the bottom edge of the interior wall panel, and at least one leveler at least partially located within the floor rail. The levelers each include a head removably secured to the floor channel, a threaded adjustment rod projecting from the head, and a rail support having a collar and support shoulder extending outwardly from the collar. The collar passes through an aperture defined in a horizontal portion of the floor rail and is threadedly engaged with the adjustment rod. The support shoulder supports the floor rail. The adjustment rod is rotated to vary a vertical distance between the floor rail and the floor channel.

  • Patent number: 11091951
    Abstract: A jamb assembly for a door frame includes an elongate jamb channel defining an interior space, an elongate cap member having a pair of spaced apart opposing in-turned portions, and a clip for securing the cap member to the jamb channel. The clip includes a base, a pair of opposed spaced apart resilient tabs extending from the base, and a pair of spaced apart retaining portions extending from the base, each retaining portion comprising a proximate resilient portion and a distal wing portion. When the base is located in the interior space, the tabs abut ridges that extend partially into the interior space, and the resilient portions are biased to engage the ridges. The resilient portions of the clip are configured to deform to allow the wing portions to pass between in-turned portions of the cap member and are biased to engage the in-turned portions.

  • Patent number: 10982473
    Abstract: A pivot assembly for supporting a pivot door within a door frame includes a bottom bracket and a lower adjustment assembly that includes a pivot member. The pivot member includes a ramp inclined at an angle to a rotation axis, and a traveling assembly positionable along the ramp of the pivot member. The traveling assembly includes a traveling body, a dowel adapted to move along the ramp, and a threaded adjustment rod. The lower adjustment assembly also includes a locking fastener that is adjustable between a locked configuration and an unlocked configuration. In the unlocked configuration, rotation of the adjustment rod causes movement of the traveling assembly vertically relative to the pivot member, thereby permitting a beam of the pivot door to move vertically relative to the pivot member.
