Abstract: A variety of configurations are disclosed for modular tradeshow display systems that can be assembled without the use of tools or other specialized machinery.

Abstract: At least one feature provides a strip door that includes a bracket adapted to secure to a first support surface associated with an opening, where the bracket includes a plurality of mount holes spaced along a length of the bracket. The strip door further includes a plurality of strip mounts wherein each strip mount is adapted to couple to at least one of the plurality of mount holes, where the plurality of strip mounts are adapted to be arranged along the length of the bracket. Moreover, the strip door may further include a plurality of strips adapted to hang in a partially overlapping arrangement to form a barrier to the opening, where each strip comprises a first end and a second end, and wherein the first end of each strip is adapted to removeably couple to an independent strip mount of the plurality of strip mounts.

Abstract: A freestanding modular wall according to the present invention includes at least two base members, a vertical post securely attached to each base member, a bottom horizontal bar between each pair of posts, a plurality of substantially rectangular panels, a horizontal bar above each panel or each horizontal row of panels, and a vertical bar between each pair of panels or each vertical column of panels. Each vertical post forms at least one vertical slot for receiving the ends of horizontal bars and the vertical edges of panels, and each vertical bar forms slots on both edges for receiving the vertical edges of panels and the ends of horizontal bars. Likewise, each horizontal bar forms slots along at least one edge for receiving the ends of vertical bars and horizontal edges of the panels. Each panel forms two faces, two vertical edges and two horizontal edges. Each panel is of a substantially standard depth and each panel face is selected from one to three substantially standard sizes.

Abstract: A partition system for office spaces generally includes a framework and a plurality of different types of decorative and/or functional tiles mountable to the framework. The framework includes I- and C-shaped vertical frame members which are adjustably joined by upper and lower horizontal spanners such that the distance between the vertical frame members is adjustable. Also, the framework may include other types of vertical frame members for forming L-, T-, or X-junctions within the partition system framework. A variety of decorative and functional tiles are mountable to the framework, including retractable workspace tiles, several types of storage tiles, display tiles, window tiles, and electrical and data services tiles.

Abstract: There is provided a new and useful garage door (12) opening/closing system (10) comprising a garage door (12) having top (32), bottom (34), and first and second sides (54, 56) and having a series of rollers (58) associated with the first and second sides (54, 56); a pair of door rails (14, 16) at the first and second sides (54, 56) of the door (12) for receiving the rollers (58) for movement of the door along the rails (14, 16), in a door opening path; at least one hinge part mounted on the door intermediate the first and second ends (54, 56); a central guide rail (18) extending outwardly from the plane of a closed position of the door (12) from a position above the top (32) of the door (12); a trolley (20) mounted on the central guide rail (18) for movement along the guide rail, the trolley (20) for operative connection to at least one hinge part; at least one cable drum (22) having a pair of cables (26, 28) thereon operatively associated with the trolley for moving the trolley (20) along the central guide r

Abstract: A removably mountable blind-type curtain is provided which includes a plurality of blinds removably securable to a curtain support. One or more of the blinds have a solar module secured thereto for converting solar energy to other energy. The blinds are connected to one another in a cable-free manner. An energy storage device is connected to the blinds for storing energy generated by the solar modules and an energy power take off device cooperates with an energy receiving device to effect the transfer of energy from the blind-type curtain to the energy receiving device. The energy storage device and the energy power take off device are mounted on the curtain support such that they are protected against external adverse environmental effects.

Abstract: A window assembly for a motor vehicle includes a window frame adapted to removably mount to a lower door assembly. The window assembly further includes a mounting arrangement for removably attaching the window frame to the lower door assembly such that substantially vertical translation of the window frame is required to remove the window frame. The window assembly further includes a stop surface which is carried by the motor vehicle. The stop surface is adapted to oppose vertical translation of the window frame when the lower door assembly is in the closed position. In one form, the stop surface is defined by a removable door frame assembly.
