Abstract: A sliding door with a sliding panel and a fixed panel allows for the sliding panel to pivot with respect to the fixed panel regardless of the position of the sliding panel and allows both the sliding panel and fixed panel to pivot with respect to an outer frame in which the panels are mounted when the sliding panel is fully open or nearly fully open without requiring a floor track. The sliding panel may move linearly with respect to the fixed panel and outer frame along the length of a header, and a guide bracket cooperatively engaged with the sliding panel may be partially positioned in a guide track formed in the fixed panel bottom rail. A floor plate may be secured to the floor surface adjacent the bottom end of a first jamb to provide support/stability to the panels.

Abstract: Disclosed is a door assembly comprising a custom-built doorframe housing a main door which carries an integrally mounted, rectangularly-shaped leaf door. The trailing edge of the main door rotates about a vertical axis which is parallel to, and proximate the inner rear surface of the doorframe. The leaf door is rotatably attached, by a spring mechanism, to a cutout excised from the leading edge of the main door. As the main door rotates about its vertical axis, the leaf door is restrained, by tension of the spring mechanism, from closing with full force upon human fingers or any other object that may be proximate the door jamb, or inner doorframe area. The pivoting, or trailing edge of the main door may be abutted against elastomeric material affixed to the inner rear surface of the doorframe, thereby preventing the insertion of fingers into what otherwise would be a hazardous gap.

Abstract: A door assembly includes a door panel and a window assembly. The window assembly includes a first frame operably coupled to a second frame.

A fixed panel and a window screen can also be operably coupled between the first frame and the second frame. At least one of the frames include a basin that empties into a drainage opening to prevent the build up of moisture within the assembly.

Abstract: A structure for opening a grip cover of a toy gun includes a bottom cover assembly and a rear cover assembly. The bottom cover assembly has a bottom cover covering a bottom surface of the grip and a pivot penetrating the grip and the bottom cover. One end of the bottom cover adjacent to the pivot is formed with a first hook. The rear cover assembly has a rear cover covering a rear surface of the grip. The rear cover has a protrusion connected to the grip. One end of the rear cover away from the protrusion is formed with a second hook to be engaged with the first hook. With this structure, the first hook is separated from the second hook when the bottom cover rotates downwards, thereby driving the rear cover to open rearwards by using the protrusion as a center of rotation. In this way, by only opening the bottom cover, the user can open the rear cover assembly simultaneously, thereby exchanging a pressurized gas cylinder in the grip more rapidly.

Abstract: A safety enclosure system for a transformer is disclosed including a high voltage enclosure used in conjunction with a flip top hood on pad mounted transformers to provide an additional access restriction to the high voltage compartment after the hood has been opened. The high voltage enclosure is designed such that it is secured to the barrier plate separating the high voltage terminals from the low voltage terminals and after opening the enclosure is swung to the side, out of the way, for any operations in the high voltage compartment. The enclosure must then be closed before the hood can be closed and locked. This provides increased security for any further access to the high voltage compartment.

Abstract: A truck comprises a motorized body including a chassis and a cab. The cab includes opposed sidewalls, one of which includes an access opening having front and rear edge portions. The door that covers the access opening comprises upper and lower panels. The lower panel is pivotally attached to the front edge portion of the opening to rotate about a first substantially vertical axis of rotation between open and closed positions. The upper panel is hinged to the rear edge portion of the opening to rotate about a second substantially vertical axis of rotation between open and closed positions. The upper and lower panels are sized and configured such that, when each is rotated to its closed position, each spans the opening of the cab, and the upper panel is disposed above the lower panel. In such a configuration, the lower panel can be closed to protect the driver, and the upper panel can be moved to its open position to provide ventilation.

Purpose: to permit to-and-fro movement of the planar member supporting the stack of newspaper via corresponding movement of the lever.

Abstract: A theft deterrent device restricts the number of newspapers or other periodicals that can be retrieved from a newspaper vending machine at one time. The device includes a cover gate forming a generally T-shaped opening with a vertical passageway and a horizontal slot opening. The cover gate mounts over an access opening of the vending machine behind a hinged door that closes against the vending machine. The cover gate restricts the number of periodicals that can be withdrawn at one time from a storage cabinet portion of the machine after the hinged door is opened and lowered by a customer. The deterrent device is easily installed on existing newspaper vending machines by way of an engagement member that securely engages a fixed part of the vending machine in the region of the access opening. A lock mechanism on the cover gate serves to lock the cover gate to the dispensing machine and firmly hold the gate in place over the access opening.

Abstract: A rapid deployment surveillance vehicle is disclosed for detecting illegal immigration across national borders and the like. An off-the-road vehicle (V) is equipped with a rapid mast erection/retraction assembly (A) which includes a carriage mechanism (24) which carries a telescoping mast (12). A track mechanism (20) slidably carries the carriage mechanism (24) by means of a fixed support (22) and pivoting support arms (26). Ram air cylinders (52, 54, 56) move the carriage mechanism in translational and rotational movement as guided on the track mechanism in a manner that the mast (12) is moved from a stowed horizontal position to an erect vertical position. During erection of mast (12), a longitudinal roof opening (10) is opened by means of a main door (14) and displacement door (16) in an automatic manner. Once erect, a leveling system (B) checks to ensure that the vehicle is within one degree of level.

Abstract: An enclosed fume hood having an access window with a vertically sliding sash is provided with an additional horizontally movable sash which closes off only a fraction of the open window space and thus reduces the volume of air required to be drawn through the window in order to maintain the requisite air velocity while still permitting complete access to the interior of the hood. Provision is also made to permit the horizontally movable sash to be easily removed, when necessary, to permit insertion into the hood of apparatus wider than the residual open window space.
