  • Publication number: 20050039981
    Abstract: An emergency evacuation device includes a housing enclosing a mounting structure. A spool assembly is mounted on the mounting structure within the housing, the spool assembly includes a rotatably mounted spool designed to receive a length of high tensile strength line. First and second centrifugal brakes are coupled to opposite sides of the spool for rotation with the spool and are constructed to maintain a rotation speed of the spool at a predetermined speed. A pair of spring biased locking pins are positioned adjacent opposite sides of the spool, each having a spool locking position and a spool unlocked position. A pair of handles is positioned to engage the locking pins and move them into the locking position when the handles are moved into a collapsed orientation and to disengage the locking pins when the handles are moved into an extended orientation.

  • Patent number: 6170676
    Abstract: A foldable dish drainer includes a base with first and second sections hingedly joined at adjacent parallel edges to form a dish draining surface and movable into a parallel overlying position in a folded mode. The foldable dish drainer further includes a first dish support member having one edge hingedly attached to a surface of the first base section, a second dish support member having one edge hingedly attached to a surface of the second base section, and opposed edges of the first and the second dish support members movably attached together such that when the first and second base sections are in the open mode the first and second dish support members are in an upstanding position for receiving and holding dishes in a draining position and when the first and second base sections are in the folded mode the first and second dish support members are in a folded position.
