  • Patent number: 10094158
    Abstract: A door safety device generally includes a mounting member for coupling the device to a door and a blocking member for preventing complete closure of the door when the mounting member is attached to the door and the device is in a blocking configuration. The device can also include an intermediate member coupled between the mounting member and the blocking member. The intermediate member defines a first hinge axis extending in a direction parallel to the surface of the door and parallel to an edge of the door. The blocking member is movable (e.g., rotatable or revolvable) about the first hinge axis, at least when the mounting member is coupled to the door and the device is in a blocking configuration, so as to inhibit the transfer of detachment forces from the blocking member to the mounting member upon impact.

  • Patent number: 8950040
    Abstract: A door safety device for either a hinged or a sliding door which when closing places the vertical door side edge in a position abutting the vertical face of either of two sides of a door jamb, or the vertical face of another sliding door, or the threshold end of a sliding door track. The device employs a body in pivotal engagement with a resilient body for positioning the body in an as-used position between the door side edge and the vertical face to maintain a gap to prevent finger crushing. A curved leading edge provides a deflection of impact forces upon the resilient body to prevent marring of the vertical face of the door jamb or threshold.

  • Patent number: 4901923
    Abstract: A multiple dilution ratio aspirator sprayer adapted to be connected to a hose for mixing a liquid with pressurized water from the hose and providing a spray of the mixture comprises a container for housing the liquid to be mixed with the water; a mixing head having a nozzle at one end thereof and a garden hose attachment device at the other end thereof; a mixing chamber within the mixing head; a hose for communicating the liquid from the container to the mixing head; a disk having a plurality of apertures therein rotatably mounted in the mixing head to control flow from the container to the mixing chamber; a flow tube communicates liquid in the container to the inlet to mixing chamber through a selected aperture in the disk so that the liquid is diluted with pressurized water at a dilution ratio determined by the size of the aperture aligned with the tube and the mixing chamber; and a cleaning orifice is positioned circumferentially from the mixing chamber so that each of the plurality of apertures may be sel

  • Patent number: 4778250
    Abstract: A lightweight vertical panel barricade for use on streets and highways in which a first vertical panel is supported and rigidly locked into place by the clamping effect of respective ends of leg support members acting against a wall support of a housing structure disposed at each end of the panel member. The leg support members are rectangular in cross-section and are virtually gripped on three side faces thereof by the housing structures in which they are pivoted, both in their extended, panel support position and their closed, storage position. A second panel member depending from and coplanar with the first panel member is surrounded by the leg members and provides a doubling of the reflective surface of the barricade.
