| 20130099066 | Backplane, Back Light Module and of Backplane Stiffener Locking Method - The present invention discloses a backplane, a back light module, and a method of locking a backplane stiffener. The backplane includes a backplane surface and a stiffener fixed on the backplane surface, and the stiffener is locked by the fastener which is integrated with said backplane surface and is formed on said backplane surface. In the present invention, because the stiffener is locked on the backplane by the fastener formed on the backplane surface, and the fastener is integrated with the backplane, the fastener is tightly fixed on the backplane and is difficult to loosen. Then, the stiffener locked by the fastener is tightly locked on the backplane, preventing the phenomenon that the stiffening function of the stiffener is weakened because of the clearance produced between the stiffener and the backplane; and the stiffening function of the stiffener to the backplane is guaranteed. Thus, the structure of the whole backplane tends to be more reliable, and the backplane tends to be thinner. | 04-25-2013 |

When the speaker mount is moved upwardly through a ceiling, a bottom of the ceiling holds a ceiling support formed on the slider plate and the pivoting member is pushed and pivoted. After being unblocked from the pivoting member, the spring holder is pivoted to hold a top of the ceiling in completion of the mounting of the speaker mount. Accordingly, the mounting procedures of the speaker mount can be easily achieved by simply pushing it upwardly through a ceiling. | 11-22-2012 |
| 20160102803 | FIXTURE HOUSING USING DOG EARS - Improvements in a fixture housing with dog ears is disclosed that can be installed from one side of a wall or ceiling. This increases the ability of the installer to place the fixture in a desired location as opposed to using a location that provides the best access on stud or joists. Once the ideal location is identified the installer uses a saw to cut an opening in the desired location. The housing is pushed into the opening for installation without requiring access to the back of the wall, ceiling or floor. The fixture housing uses a plurality of spring loaded dogs that are operated from the visible wall or ceiling surface. It is also possible for the fixture to be removed by lifting the locking tabs and sliding securing ears where the entire fixture can then be pulled back through the open hole. | 04-14-2016 |
| 20160114740 | FIXTURE FOR A VEHICLE - A fixture for a vehicle, which is configured so that outer side portions of retaining arms actually fixing a store (for example, a headliner, a room lamp, a head lamp, or an indoor handle) are not directly in contact with an installation hole, in which the fixture is installed, and the retaining arms are prevented from being separated from the installation hole due to an external force applied to the indoor handle or a vibration transmitted from the vehicle. In particular, the fixture for the vehicle is configured so that the retaining arms actually serving as hooks are formed at both sides of a base to face each other, to increase a width of each retaining arm, and thus to increase a fixing force which catches and fixes the retaining arms into the installation hole. | 04-28-2016 |
| 20160115987 | FIXTURE FOR A VEHICLE - A fixture for a vehicle, which is configured so that three retaining arms inserted into and caught by a coupling hole formed in a body panel are inserted into and caught by the coupling hole to be spaced at regular intervals from each other, and arranged in the form of a triangular pyramid so as to absorb an external force, even though the external force is applied in any directions, thereby being easily assembled, and which is capable of dispersing and absorb twisting generated when an indoor handle installed using the fixture is used, and thus being prevented from escaping from or being separated from the coupling hole. | 04-28-2016 |
