  • Patent number: 12324775
    Abstract: A locking pivot device can include a base, a stop ring, and a shuttle. The stop ring can be supported within the base. The stop ring can include stops formed by an inset in an inner perimeter of the stop ring. The stop ring can also include teeth formed in a different portion of the inner perimeter from the stops. The shuttle can be received in the base. The shuttle can include at least one tooth selectively engageable with the teeth of the stop ring to selectively lock the stop ring at different positions. The shuttle can further include lateral surfaces engagable with the stops to define a predetermined range of motion of the stop ring within the base.

  • Publication number: 20050206214
    Abstract: A pivoting side mount (26) which may used, for example, to attach a pelvic stabilization device (21) to a wheelchair. The pivoting side mount (26) includes first and second pivot brackets (152, 150) that are rotatably connected to one another and a spring (154), such as a rubber spring, for limiting the rotating movement of the two brackets relative to one another. A quick release assembly (28) is also provided. The quick release assembly (28) includes a receiver (30) and a body (40) that fits into the receiver. The body (40) includes one or more latches (42) that are biased outward and that snap into notches (44) in the receiver (30) when the body (40) is placed in the receiver (30). A release plate (46) is provided for releasing the latch or latches (42) from the notches (44).

  • Patent number: 6050175
    Abstract: A beverage brewing device has an integral server locking mechanism. The beverage server (10) has top and bottom portions, (16) and (18), having first and second lips, (12) and (14), respectively. An opening in a lower server support plate (20) has a first retaining face (22) which contacts the first lip. The server support plate is preferably pivotably mounted about a pivot point (26) and biased to apply an upward force to the first end of the server. An upper server support plate (30) is positioned at the other end of the beverage server. The second support plate pivots about a second pivot point (36) and is biased downwardly, toward the first base plate. Thus, the support plates cooperate in a clamshell-like manner to secure the beverage brewing device therebetween.
