  • Patent number: 10772404
    Abstract: A removable cover for a finger brace comprises a receiving end with an open area for receiving the finger brace within the cover and with rails to slide the cover over the finger brace. A stop bar of the cover acts as a stop for the finger brace. The cover includes a spring-loaded clip arranged across the stop bar and rotatable around a fulcrum. A protrusion/recess pair between the clip and the finger brace is normally engaged with a spring and acts as a catch when the cover is in place over the finger brace. A recess in the cover receives an end of the clip when a user presses the end against the spring force to disengage the protrusion/recess pair.

  • Patent number: 8246127
    Abstract: A storage cylinder within an enclosed storage unit that secures stored items and inhibits shelf repositioning during normal operation. The design allows shelf reconfiguration during maintenance and restocking. The storage cylinder contains rectangular-shaped and triangular-shaped storage areas. Most importantly, all storage areas (including those with a generally triangular-shape) have parallel faces with horizontal slots that are used for shelf support. Such a design requires radial movement to reposition the shelves. In its closed position the maintenance door or baffle mechanism restricts shelf removal. Therefore, during normal operation, when the maintenance door or baffle is closed, shelf repositioning is not possible. However, access panels still allow removal of stored objects. During maintenance or restocking, the maintenance door or baffle mechanism allows removal and installation of shelves.
