  • Patent number: 8307499
    Abstract: A hanger includes an elongated member having a rod with a plurality of positioning portions spaced in a vertical direction. An engaging portion is formed on a bottom of the rod for engaging with an engagement portion. A coupling block includes a connecting head. The coupling block further includes a body and a resilient plate that are located below the connecting head. The body and the resilient plate together define a passageway having an opening in a lower end thereof. The rod is slideable in the passageway in the vertical direction. The resilient plate includes a free end having a hook that is spaced from the body. At least a portion of the hook extends into the passageway. The hook is releasably engaged with a selected one of the positioning portions. The resilient plate is operable to disengage the hook from the positioning portions.

  • Publication number: 20120267056
    Abstract: A winding device for a cordless Roman shade includes an upper frame. A shade includes an upper end engaged with a side of the upper frame. A resilient winding mechanism is directly or indirectly coupled to the upper frame. A winding cloth includes an upper end engaged with a distal end of a winding route of the resilient winding mechanism. The winding cloth further includes a lower end engaged with a lower end of the shade. When the resilient winding mechanism moves in a winding direction, the winding cloth is wound, and the shade is folded. By providing the winding cloth for folding the shade, strangling by the winding cloth is less likely to occur, providing enhanced safety.

  • Publication number: 20070087239
    Abstract: A fuel cell fluid management system that transfers water vapor from a fuel cell stack's oxidant exhaust to the fuel cell stack's fluid supplies through membrane tubes; that coalesces and separates liquid water from the fuel cell's fluid exhaust streams for removal to the environment; that transfers heat from the fuel cell stack to the fluid supplies, and that disposes of purged fuel cell fuel. The fluid management system is shaped to close couple to the fluid ports of a corresponding fuel cell stack.
