  • Patent number: 9295331
    Abstract: A storage device having a locking mechanism includes a housing having a frame assembly. A storage device is movably received in the housing. An actuator is connected to the frame assembly, the actuator operating to move a cam member. A latch is connected to the frame assembly and is moved by contact with the cam member from a latched position preventing access to the storage device in the housing to an unlatched position permitting access to the storage device. An unlock-all mechanism operates to move the latch to the unlatched position without operation of the actuator.

  • Patent number: 8667820
    Abstract: A lock mechanism for manually or automatically fixing a slide bar in either of two positions. A lock body has a key barrel adapted to rotate a lock cam in a first rotational direction. A latch is biased in a closed position, the latch being adapted to move to an open position when the lock cam is rotated in the first rotational direction. A slide bar is fixable in a locked position and an unlocked position, wherein the slide bar is biased in the unlocked position. A knob slider is adapted to move the slide bar into the locked position such that the latch moves to the closed position and engages a notch of the slide bar to fix the slide bar in the locked position. A servo motor is adapted to rotate a servo cam in a second rotational direction to move the slide bar into the locked position, and is adapted to rotate the lock cam in the first rotational direction to move the slide bar into the unlocked position.

  • Patent number: 8253638
    Abstract: An easily transportable multiband antenna array. The antenna array is fabricated on a multi-sided structure, such as a four-sided cube, made from a wire frame and fabric. The multi-sided structure is constructed so that it may be folded by first folding the faces against each other, and then twisting them to form a stack of loops. The antenna elements are fabricated on the faces, and comprise at least a loop antenna around the perimeter of each face, and a bow-tie antenna attached to each face. The antenna elements are fabricated and attached so that they do not inhibit the folding of the structure.

  • Patent number: 4934853
    Abstract: A copy holder apparatus for use in combination with a conventional typewriter is set forth. The apparatus includes a generally "S" shaped transparent bracket with a lower leg defining a slot to accept a typewriter table in a conventional typewriter. The upstanding leg of the apparatus includes a spring clip cooperative with an outer face of leg for securement of documents to be copied. A fiber optic cursor is vertically positionable along the upstanding leg to indicate and accent lines to be copied by an operator. The upstanding leg is angulated at approximately thirty degrees relative to the lower leg to orient the document to be copied relative to an operator.

  • Patent number: 4255006
    Abstract: A strain-relief member is provided to relieve torsional strains from a two-conductor power supply cord attached to a personal care electrical appliance, such as a hand-held hair dryer, or curling iron. It is molded to the insulation of the two-conductor electrical power supply cord. Such torsional strains are primarily those resulting from twisting the wire about its longitudinal axis, as when using a curling iron, rather than from flexing.The strain-relief member is an elongated body member of elastomeric material molded with the usual two-conductor line cord. It has a lateral projection or collar on one end thereof adapted to fit into the interior of the personal care electrical appliance to prevent rotation with respect to the appliance. The outer portion of the body member is uniformly tapered along its length on the sides adjacent to single conductors of said cord and has flattened, generally parallel sides extending along the opposite sides which are adjacent to both conductors of the power supply cord.
