Publication number: 20090320382Abstract: A factory-build masonry fireplace includes a firebox, casing, and chimney system, where the firebox defines a cavity. Masonry panels are removably attached to the periphery of the cavity. Each masonry panel has firebrick housings configured to hold a corresponding firebrick, wherein the housings can optionally be arranged in a running bond and herringbone patterns, among others. Additionally, the base masonry panel defines an opening configured to hold a removable ash dump, the opening covered with a removable cover. In another arrangement, masonry panels have protruding walls that are configured to hold a corresponding firebrick. The masonry panels are used to build traditionally site built masonry structures.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 6, 2009Publication date: December 31, 2009Inventors: Martin D. Husted, Darin J.

Patent number: 5036428Abstract: An assembly is provided for holding a printed circuit board between spaced surfaces. The assembly comprises a plurality of wedge-shaped members slidably mounted end-to-end on a rod, with at least one of those members being movable in a transverse direction relative to the rod and to its respective adjacent members upon effective shortening of the rod to thereby bring a clamping surface of the transversely movable member into contact with a printed circuit board and to apply a clamping force thereto. The retainer is disposed in a recess of a base structure which includes an abutment formed at one end of the recess. The retainer is activated by rotating the rod thereby urging the slidably mounted members towards one another. Bevelled washers are disposed on the rod between the abutment and one of the end-most members which, when compressed upon tightening of the retainer, provide a force tending to urge the members away from the abutment.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 1990Date of Patent: July 30, 1991Assignee: EG&G Birtcher, Inc.Inventors: Richard Brownhill, Martin D.

Patent number: 4979073Abstract: A container in which are integral guides for slideably accepting opposite side edges of a sheet of material such as an electronic circuit board makes use of oppositely disposed cold walls in each of which are slots for reception of edges of the circuit boards. In each slot is a rotating camming bar for firmly fastening the corresponding edge of the board in good heat conducting relationship with the cold wall. Each cold wall features a single integral panel of metal having an inside face in which slots are aligned in parallel relationship. Each slot is formed by three successive passes of milling cutters, namely, a first cutter forming an initial channel of rectangular cross-sectional shape, followed by a second cutter productive of an arcuately recessed pocket in one wall of the initial channel. Thereafter a third cutter, when driven through the initial channel, is productive of an auxiliary T-shaped groove in the bottom wall of the initial channel.Type: GrantFiled: April 29, 1988Date of Patent: December 18, 1990Assignee: International Electrical Research Corp.Inventor: Martin D.

Patent number: 4502601Abstract: A guide for slidably accepting opposite edges of a sheet of material which may be an electronic circuit board or metal plate attached thereto and which makes use of a rotating camming bar in a retainer as a clamp has rotational stop and drive means built in a way to minimize servicing and replacement problems. On those occasions where the stop and drive means are pins, the bar and pins can be assembled prior to insertion in the retainer and bars can be individually removed and replaced. The pin relationship is furthermore such that any relative weakness in the structure is relegated to an exterior more easily accessible location to avoid unnecessary disassembly of parts when a bar needs repair or replacement.Type: GrantFiled: October 18, 1982Date of Patent: March 5, 1985Assignee: International Electronic Research Corp.Inventors: Martin D. Husted, Norman J. Schuster
