  • Patent number: 5858287
    Abstract: The present invention pertains to a polymeric sealing/spring strip and method of producing same. The polymeric sealing/spring strip of the present invention has several various embodiments which are based upon the incorporation of silicone rubber. Some of the embodiments are based on the formation of a resilient silicone rubber surface to provide a sealing/spring contact with an opposing surface period. Other embodiments of the invention incorporate the silicone rubber in such way as to utilize its resilient properties to produce a sealing/spring strip which has improved mechanical resilience properties. The method of the present invention allows the production of a sealing/spring strip in accordance with the present invention by using extrusion techniques.

  • Patent number: 4597274
    Abstract: A cover mechanism for covering a lock having a key opening in a lock support surface includes a cover plate which may be pivoted between a closed position in which the key opening of the lock is covered and an opened position in which the key opening is exposed. A detent arrangement includes a first stop which engages the cover plate to hold it in its opened position until insertion of a key into the key opening, whereupon a second stop of the detent arrangement engages the cover plate and prevents movement of the cover plate into its closed position until withdrawal of the key is initiated. A damping arrangement slows movement of the cover plate from its opened position into its closed position.
