Patent number: 10647267Abstract: A cargo bed liner for protecting a cargo bed of a vehicle. Plural rigid floor panels are interconnected to form a cargo liner platform suspended above the cargo bed by suspension rails to disperse impacts and otherwise to protect the cargo bed. The floor panels are interlocked by tabs projecting from at least some of the panels. The floor panels are fixed to the suspension rails by locking slots in combination with locking studs. The suspension rails are fixed to the cargo bed in retention of the cargo liner platform. Anchors with extendable and retractable clamping members and registration members are selectively retained relative to apertures of an array of paired apertures in the platform for permitting secure and adjustable retention and transport of cargo. The clamping and registration members have outer surfaces separated by a distance less than a longitudinal dimension of apertures within the array of apertures.Type: GrantFiled: September 11, 2018Date of Patent: May 12, 2020Inventors: Jeffrey Mark Briggs, Jonathan Erik Mossberg

Patent number: 7807945Abstract: An improved method of cutting a helical gear sector onto a pivoting arm of a casement window is disclosed. The method includes beginning with a pre-hardened flat sheet of steel stock and cutting the arm and the helical gear sector of the arm in two steps. The non-toothed portions of the arm are cut with a laser and nitrogen assist or shielding gas to prevent any oxidation to the non-toothed portions of the structure. The helical gear sector is also cut with a laser, but using oxygen assist gas. Use of the oxygen prevents recasts slag from accumulating in the gear sector. Thus, a finished part is completed with two laser cutting operations thereby eliminating the need for separate stamping, shaping, deburring and subsequent heat treatment processes used in conventional manufacturing methods. The subsequent heat treating is eliminated because a pre-hardened steel stock may be utilized.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2005Date of Patent: October 5, 2010Assignee: Roto Frank of America, Inc.Inventors: Erik Jan Ostby, Brian David Bourgoin, Jeffrey Mark Briggs, Craig Charles Tooker

Patent number: 6367853Abstract: A universal lock handle assembly for multi-point casement windows is provided. The lock handle assembly includes an escutcheon that is mounted to the inside surface of the window frame. The escutcheon includes a slot for receiving a handle. The handle includes a grip portion that is connected to a mid-section which, in turn, is connected to a forked end. The mid-section of the handle is pivotally connected to the escutcheon below or exterior to the inside surface of the window frame. The forked end of the handle includes two spaced-apart legs that define an open slot for slidably receiving a slider. The slider, in turn, is pivotally connected to a tiebar. The slider enables the overall length of the handle to be variable thereby enabling the distance between the tiebar and the escutcheon or the inside surface of the window frame to be variable as well.Type: GrantFiled: March 22, 2000Date of Patent: April 9, 2002Assignee: Roto Frank of America, Inc.Inventor: Jeffrey Mark Briggs
