  • Patent number: 11972680
    Abstract: Table top sanitizer dispenser bottle bases are disclosed herein. An exemplary table top sanitizer dispenser bottle base includes a movable upper housing, the upper moveable housing has a floor with an aperture located therein and a peripheral wall. The top sanitizer dispenser bottle includes a lower stationary housing. The upper movable housing is connected to the lower stationary housing and is configured to move linearly upward and downward with respect to lower stationary. One or more biasing members bias the upper movable housing upward. A switch is included and the upper movable housing has an engagement member or surface for actuating the switch upon downward movement of the upper movable housing. At least one of a visual indicator and an audible indicator are also included. Control circuitry is provided for activating the one or more of a visual indicator and audible indicator when the engagement member actuates the switch.

  • Publication number: 20230150798
    Abstract: A spread bar device is used to suspend a load from a crane using a lifting harness having a plurality of attachment cables. The spread bar device includes a modular central beam structure assembled from a main beam section and interchangeable end beam sections that are releasably coupled at opposing ends of the main beam section to vary the length of the spread bar device according to the load. One or more truss frames protrude laterally outward from the central beam structure to provide lateral stiffening to ensure sufficient strength while minimizing weight of the spread bar, despite the modular construction of the central beam assembly.

  • Publication number: 20160214522
    Abstract: A folding liner includes multiple sections connected with hinges. The folding liner slides within a cargo area such as a truck bed to facilitate loading and unloading of cargo without the need to climb into the cargo area or lift cargo over side walls. The folding liner when folded can partition a cargo area into one or more smaller cargo areas or can cover a cargo to hide the cargo or prevent the cargo from flying out of an open cargo area of a moving vehicle.

  • Publication number: 20150143766
    Abstract: A rigid insulating body is mounted within a standing seam roof structure formed of roof supporting elements and roof panels spanning across the roof supporting elements. The body is suited for extending along a top side of a roof supporting element between an adjacent pair of roof panel mounting clips to occupy a vertical space between the top side of the roof supporting element and the bottom side of the roof panels. Blanket insulation spanning between the roof supporting elements and the roof panels is typically compressed at each roof supporting element by roof panel mounting clips fastened through the insulation from the roof panels to the roof supporting elements. The body is trapezoidal with sides which diverge from bottom to top so as to occupy the area of the blanket insulation compressed by the mounting clips at each roof supporting element.

  • Patent number: 8677718
    Abstract: A replacement exterior surface, for example a replacement roof, is supported by a retrofit system including wooden structural members of dimensional lumber and mountings clips, so as to span over an existing exterior supporting surface of a building, for example an existing roof. The mounting clips each have a base portion for being fastened through the exterior supporting surface onto respective underlying structural members of the building and a channel portion receiving a respective portion of the wooden structural members therein. The mounting clips are arranged to support the wooden structural members to span parallel and spaced apart from one another in a substantially common plane outwardly from the exterior supporting surface of the building for supporting the replacement exterior surface material thereon.

  • Patent number: 8191394
    Abstract: A step flashing bending device comprises a supporting a lower press block and an upper press block thereon for movement relative to one another for bending blank metal sheets into step flashing therebetween. The press blocks have working surfaces which are elongate in a longitudinal direction extending at a downward inclination from a top end to a bottom end thereof. The frame and the press blocks are open at the bottom end such that the working surfaces are arranged to automatically release the step flashing from the frame between the bottom ends of the upper and lower press blocks under force of gravity when the press blocks are separated into an open position.

  • Publication number: 20090198840
    Abstract: A keyboard used for typing tutoring comprises a plurality of keys, in which each key comprises first and second actuators. The first actuator is arranged to generate a keystroke signal when the key is pressed by a first prescribed amount to record a normal keystroke on a computer with which the keyboard is associated. The second actuator is arranged to generate a contact signal when the key is contacted by a user and pressed by a second prescribed amount which is less than the first prescribed amount. An indicator responsive to the contact signals generated by the second actuators of the keys indicates to the user which key has been contacted. The indicator is operable independently of a monitor of the computer which displays the normal keystrokes.
