  • Patent number: 11916370
    Abstract: A circuit interrupter device for selectively connecting a source of AC power from a line side to a load side of the circuit interrupter device includes a controller powered from a source of AC power from a line side. The controller initializes a self-test and determines whether the self-test was successful. The controller outputs a self-test result signal. An electrically-held relay of the device, which is in communication with the controller and is powered from the line side, stays in an OFF state until the self-test result signal indicates the self-test was successful, and enters an ON state if the self-test was successful. When in the OFF state, a load side of the circuit interrupter device is not in electrical communication with the source of AC power, and when in the ON state, the load side is in electrical communication with the source of AC power.

  • Patent number: 6779771
    Abstract: A dual extrusion hinged sign hanger hangs from the ceiling and holds signs, banners, posters, and any other sheet type of display material. Display material can be easily changed within a smooth non-damaging holder portion which opens for free non-friction insertion of the display material. The closure has flexible tabs on one side and a smooth flexible curved surface to hold the display material against the tabs. The closure acts perpendicularly to the display material with a snap together closure that does not come in contact with the display material.

  • Publication number: 20010042331
    Abstract: A hinged member consists of two parts joined by a first living hinge. An upstanding nib on one of the parts is in turn joined to the other part via a strip-like rigid panel. The panel is in turn joined along its side edges by second and third living hinges. Elasticity of the living hinges provides a biassing force for urging the parts towards a closed position. The member may be arranged to form a picture hanger or a picture frame element or a hinge for joining two substrates.

  • Patent number: 5473833
    Abstract: A clip-on label holder and cover is provided for insertion in a price ticket channel member of a shelf. The cover comprises an elongate clear plastic strip, having a clear plastic display panel and an integral clip. A label, such as a data strip, may be inserted between the panel and the channel member. The panel is biased towards the channel, to grip the card between the panel and the channel member. The clip is comprised of a generally hook-shaped member, when seen in cross-section, that comprises the lower edge of the cover. The clip defines an interior region, within which a lip of the channel member may be snap-fitted. The clip is provided with first and second shoulders to grip opposing sides of the channel member, to bias the panel towards the channel.
