The two branches have inner surfaces, which are connected to each other in a connecting region and extend away from each other outward to tips of the branches The two branches are connected to each other by way of a connecting body and disposed in a V-shaped manner. Proceeding from the respective tips, the outer surfaces of the branches extend at decreasing distances toward the coupling body. | 11-20-2014 |
20150033501 | ROTARY DAMPER - A rotary damper includes an actuator including an extension side that is connected to a linkage. The rotary damper includes the linkage, a cam follower, and a cam wheel. The linkage is connected to the cam follower and the cam follower is movable relative to the cam wheel. The cam follower contacts a first portion of the cam wheel when in a locked state. The cam follower contacts a second portion of the cam wheel when a rotational force is applied to the cam wheel and the extension side of the actuator extends to apply an actuator force that counteracts a portion of the rotational force. | 02-05-2015 |
20150040348 | Door Catch - Disclosed is a door catch that can help to prevent door sag, especially for heavy or tall residential or commercial doors, and provides for post-installation catch tension adjustment without removal or adjustment of mounting members. In one aspect, the door catch can include a ball catch base, a threaded ball plunger assembly, a catch bumper, and a bumper base. In another aspect, the catch bumper and the bumper base can optionally be combined into a single catch bar bracket. The ball plunger assembly is adjustably mounted within a threaded aperture of ball catch base. A ball captive in one end of the ball plunger assembly engages a detent in the catch bumper, or catch bar bracket, providing friction to hold the door open. The position of the ball plunger assembly can be adjusted vertically to increase or decrease the tension between the detent and the ball plunger assembly. | 02-12-2015 |
20150096146 | Device that maintains the open position of a window that is hinged at the bottom - The device that maintains the open position of a window that is hinged at the bottom is a secure, portable and easy-to-use device. It is manually inserted in the side opening of the window to block the window's closure. It is shaped in the form of a letter “Z” to lock itself with its two ends against the edge of the window and the edge of the window frame. The middle part of the “Z” is the crush-resistant block between the window and its frame that prevents the window's closure. Design dimensions ensure that the device will not twist and fall out of position. The device is made of special material for lightness and strength. The device is also used for doors that are hinged at the bottom. | 04-09-2015 |
20150143664 | Door Travel Limiting Device - A door travel limiting device includes a housing, a stop member, a compression spring, and a flexible member. The stop member is slidably received by the housing, and is slidable in first and second sliding directions, and has first and second ends respectively extending outwardly from different portions of the housing. The stop member is biased to slide in the first sliding direction, causing a portion proximate to its second end to noimally retract into the housing. Extreme sliding positions of the stop member are limited by protrusions. A flexible member protrudes from the stop member to selectively engage portions of a housing track, to retain the second end of the stop member at an intermediate position between its first and second positions, when the stop member is first actuated to slide from the first position to the second position, and is then no longer actuated but biased. | 05-28-2015 |
20150354259 | COMPOSITE CHECK ARM FOR VEHICLE DOOR - In an aspect, a check arm for a vehicle door is provided, and includes a body, a pivot connector and an end stop. The body has a length and defines a longitudinal axis, and has a first body end and a second body end. The pivot connector is positioned at the first body end and is configured for pivotally connecting the check arm to one of a vehicle body and a vehicle door. The end stop is positioned at the second body end, and is positioned to limit the amount of withdrawal of the check arm from a check arm keeper on the other of the vehicle body and the vehicle door. The body includes a plurality of elongate structural fibers and a binder that connects the structural fibers together. Each structural fiber extends longitudinally along substantially the length of the body. | 12-10-2015 |
