Patent number: 11905733Abstract: A dampener for an exit device may be disposed between a portion of an exit device actuator and an exit device chassis so that the dampener dampens vibrations to reduce noise of the exit device and/or inhibit unintentional movement of the actuator to an actuated position. The dampener may be composed at least partially of a viscoelastic material.Type: GrantFiled: May 21, 2020Date of Patent: February 20, 2024Assignee: ASSA ABLOY Accessories and Door Controls Group, Inc.Inventors: Vincent Baker, Michael Connell, Michael Swearman, Douglas Thompson

Patent number: 11781354Abstract: A patch fitting coverplate or cap for a patch fitting that extends a pivot point centerline of the patch fitting. The patch fitting coverplate may be constructed as a retrofit cover to integrate a patch fitting of one standard pivot point centerline to a door pane of another standard pivot point centerline. A patch fitting assembly including the patch fitting coverplate and patch fitting may also include buffers to fill in the interior portion between the extended patch fitting coverplate and the patch fitting. The patch fitting may be tapered at an edge close to the pivot axis of the door pane for smooth actuation of the door pane.Type: GrantFiled: November 23, 2021Date of Patent: October 10, 2023Assignee: ASSA ABLOY Accessories and Door Controls Group, Inc.Inventors: Vincent Baker, Matthew Donaldson

Patent number: 11053709Abstract: A door latch slide for engagement with a strike plate in a doorjamb. The door latch slide comprises a latch slide body engageable with an actuator device mounted on the door for moving the latch slide toward and away from the strike plate, the latch slide body being adjustable with respect to the door to adjust extension distance toward the strike plate. A latchbolt extends from the latch slide body and has a non-flat sweep side for contacting an outside of the strike plate to cause retraction of the latchbolt away from the strike plate as the door is closing and an opposite flat face for contacting an inside of an opening in a face of the strike plate to prevent the door from opening when the latchbolt is extended toward and into the strike plate opening.Type: GrantFiled: April 18, 2018Date of Patent: July 6, 2021Assignee: ASSA ABLOY Accessories and Door Controls Group, Inc.Inventors: Douglas Thompson, Vincent Baker

Patent number: 7265360Abstract: An electromagnetic radiation source is disclosed. The electromagnetic radiation source includes an anode having a first conductor, a second conductor positioned relative to the first conductor, a plurality of pole pieces coupled to at least one of the first conductor and the second, and at least one mechanical phase reversal positioned along the first conductor or second conductor. Adjacent pole pieces are separated by a gap. The electromagnetic radiation source also includes a cathode separated from the anode by an anode-cathode space, electrical contacts for applying a dc voltage between the anode and the cathode and establishing an electric field across the anode-cathode space, and at least one magnet arranged to provide a dc magnetic field within the anode-cathode space generally normal to the electric field.Type: GrantFiled: November 5, 2004Date of Patent: September 4, 2007Assignee: Raytheon CompanyInventors: C. Vincent Baker, James G. Small

Patent number: 3952179Abstract: An improved rotary cutting die and method of producing it are disclosed wherein a cylindrical die blank or support has a weld bead applied on its peripheral surface in a configuration corresponding to the design of the product to be formed. The weld bead is then ground to provide a working surface spaced a predetermined distance radially above the die blank surface whereupon the weld bead is electrical discharge machined to form the required cutting edges coincident with said working surface.Type: GrantFiled: February 6, 1975Date of Patent: April 20, 1976Assignee: Rockwell International CorporationInventor: Kenneth Vincent Baker
