  • Patent number: 12054942
    Abstract: A barrier system for partitioning a space includes panels which interlock with each other to provide a barrier that is fire rated. The interlocking panels are assembled in the barrier in columns using a tongue and groove assembly and a panel lock using a strike and latch supported by the tongue member and groove member, respectively. Each panel includes a peripheral frame (that is shaped to provide the tongue and groove members), opposed steel side faces mounted to the peripheral frame, and an insulation block filling an interior space delimited by the peripheral frame and the opposed steel side faces. The insulation block includes a pair of insulating material layers that sandwich a radiant barrier layer. A floor module supports a bottom edge of the panel and an interface module supports a side/top edge of the panel. The floor/interface modules are configured with telescoping sections and are length trimmable.

  • Patent number: 10816297
    Abstract: A bi-directional trigger assembly comprises a trigger having a first protrusion. A trigger bar having a slot is coupled to the trigger. A selector switch is positioned adjacent the rear end of the trigger bar. A disconnector is accommodated within the slot. A hammer is provided adjacent the front end of the trigger bar, wherein the hammer is configured for operable coupling to the trigger bar and the disconnector. A linkage is configured for fitment adjacent the trigger bar within the fire arm, wherein the linkage includes a second protrusion positioned adjacent a top edge of the trigger bar. The linkage further includes a third protrusion wherein the third protrusion abuts the first protrusion for displacing the linkage downward when a forward force is applied on the trigger, thereby causing the second protrusion to exert a downward acting force adjacent the front end of the trigger bar.
