  • Patent number: 7814621
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a door hinge that allows a door to stay closed without the use of additional hardware. Conventional hinges merely support the door they are mounted on. The unique features of the hinge of the present invention allow a door to remain closed due to the integral strike and catch components of the hinge itself. This eliminates the time and expense for installation of traditional mechanical or magnetic closure systems on the non-hinge end of the door and frame.

  • Patent number: 7458651
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a drawer slide assembly with an integral strike and catch mechanism to inhibit inadvertent opening of a drawer. The structure of the present invention comprises at least two drawer slide members slidably engaged. One slide member includes an adjustable strike and another slide member includes a catch. The strike and catch engage when the drawer is closed and thus prevent inadvertent opening of the drawer. A strike fastener allows for quick and effective adjustment of the strike position which partially determines the pull force necessary to open the drawer.
