  • Patent number: 7836635
    Abstract: When a door is open, at a hinge side of the space between the door and door frame a gap appears and this presents an opening into which a young child's hand or fingers can very easily be inserted. The invention provides a cover for this space which can help to reduce risk of injury if the door should be closed accidentally when a child's hand is present. A door safety device comprises a cover for the gap at the hinge side of a door (2) and door frame (4) combination, the cover comprising a strip of a rigid material which is flexible about its major axis, the strip having attachment means at its long edges so that one edge may be secured to the door (2) and the other edge to the door frame (4) of the combination, and the cover including fastener means (13) adjacent to one of its long sides such that the cover may be secured to a second similar cover in order to increase the effective width of the safety device.

  • Patent number: 4263853
    Abstract: A railway car having an end opening includes a swingable folding door assembly provided with a keeper mechanism carried by the door assembly and the adjacent side wall of the railway car. As the panels of the door assembly are folded from a flat, closed position overlying the car end opening to a collapsed, open position disposed substantially longitudinally extended away from the end of the car side wall, a guide rod carried by the door assembly is arcuately displaced to simultaneously horizontally shift a vertical locking pin to a position overlying an aperture in a lock plate whereupon gravity concurrently drops the connected rod and pin to secure the open door assembly in a fixed position.

  • Patent number: 3962827
    Abstract: A panel connector for use in connecting a plurality of panels such as to form a display. The connector is defined by a spring clip, of suitable length, forming an arcuate bead on the edge of the panel to be connected and adapted to be received in a complementary socket element. The clip includes inturned legs providing an improved support of the panel edge, maintaining the panel edge centered in the clip and against undesirable outward movement of the panel from the clip. The socket element may be arranged to permit selective angular disposition of the panel through a preselected wide angular range for facilitated arrangement of the panels as desired. The socket element may define a plurality of sockets for receiving a corresponding plurality of panel edges and opposite edges of the panels may be connected to different socket elements to permit a series arrangement of the panels and socket elements.
