| 20080302933 | MOUNT FOR MOTION PICTURE LIGHTS IN AERIAL LIFTS - A mount suitable for use in mounting a motion picture lamp to a rail of a boom lift includes a clamp having a slider body with a first rail contacting member and a throughhole for receiving a post. A second body is pivotally coupled to the slider body and has a second rail contacting member. The second body is pivoted relative to the slider body to secure the rail of a boom lift between the first and second rail contacting members. The disclosed design allows for simultaneously clamping of the rail and securing of the clamp to the post of a motion picture lamp. | 12-11-2008 |
| 20120211617 | CLAMP ASSEMBLY FOR MOUNTING PANELS TO I-BEAMS - A clamp assembly is provided for securing a panel or fairing to an I-beam, and comprises a pair of side blocks and a clamping block, together with a single bolt to secure them in place. Each of the side blocks as an inclined wedge surface, and the T-shaped clamping block has similarly sloped wedge surfaces along the sides of the leg of the T. When a bolt this passed through side legs of the side blocks, and through or under the clamping block, a sliding and wedging action between the inclined and sloped wedge surfaces occurs. Moreover, a clamping action between the top surface of the clamping block and the lower surface of the lower flanges of the I-beam is also induced. | 08-23-2012 |
| 20130341476 | Display Positioning Apparatus and Method - Embodiments of the invention include an apparatus for positioning an electronic display. The apparatus can be combined with an existing work surface to provide a multi-position workstation. In some cases the apparatus includes a mounting portion configured to support an electronic display and a keyboard. The mounting portion may be movable with respect to the work surface between multiple positions, including for example, a sitting position and a standing position. Methods for positioning an electronic display and a keyboard are also included. | 12-26-2013 |
| 20140103178 | TENSION WINDOW RODS - A window rod assembly includes two support arm assemblies each including a bracket, a support arm having a first end rigidly connected to the bracket, and a tube rigidly connected to a second end of the support arm; a curtain rod including a first rod section and a second rod section configured in a telescoping arrangement and sized to fit into the tubes of the support arm assemblies; a locking mechanism for securing the relative axial position of the first rod section with respect to the second rod section; and a force adjusting mechanism mounted on at least one of the support arm assemblies and configured to apply an inward force to the curtain rod at a location within the first tube and an outward force to the support arm assemblies to force the brackets into support surfaces of a window opening or window casing. | 04-17-2014 |
| 20150290499 | Cam Stem System - One embodiment of the present invention relates to an improved camming stem system including a head member, a plurality of cam lobes, a connection system, and a retraction system. The cam lobes may be selectively rotatable between an extended state and a retracted state with respect to at least one axle of the head member. The connection system may create an elongated, substantially rigid region by intercoupling the head member with a loop. The connection system includes a cord continuously wrapped around the head member and loop. The continuous configuration of the cord around both the head member and the loop creates the necessary minimum tensile strength for operation of the camming system. The cord may be wrapped around a rivet or one or more axles of the head member. Independent regions of the cord may be spliced together to form the continuous configuration. | 10-15-2015 |
| 20160021776 | MOUNTING MECHANISM - A mounting mechanism for gripping DIN rail comprises: a main body and a latching body. The main body includes a first mounting portion having a stopper member and at least one first retaining unit, and a second mounting portion. The latching portion is movably disposed in the first mounting portion and includes at least one resilient portion and at least one second retaining unit. When one end of the latching body protrudes into the second mounting portion, the range of movement of the latching body spans from a position wherein the resilient portion abuts the stopper member to a position in wherein the second retaining unit abuts the first retaining unit. The main body is movably latched onto the DIN rail through the second mounting portion, and is fixed to a position on the DIN rail through one end of the latching body protruding into the second mounting portion. | 01-21-2016 |
| 20160025120 | ACCESSORY CLIPS - Various clips for mounting accessories to rails, tracks and/or other mounts are described. In some examples, a clip may include a first part and a second part configured to at least partially cooperate with the first part to apply pressure to opposite sides of the rail, track or other mount. A tensioning mechanism may be configured to pull the first part and the second part together and/or to push the first part and the second part apart. A third part that may be configured to rotate with respect to the first part and/or the second part from an open position to a closed position, and to cooperate with the tensioning mechanism to pull the first part and the second part together and/or to push the first part and the second part apart. The third part may include a cam that is configured to increase a pressure applied by the first part and the second part to the rail, track or other mount when the third part is closed. | 01-28-2016 |
| 20160040826 | Fabric Attachment System - An attachment for attaching an accessory to a structure such as a vehicle or boat through a rail having a track. The attachment has at least one welt that is shaped and/or sized to fit within the facial opening of the track when no tensile force is exerted on the attachment and with retained within the track when tensile force is exerted on the attachment. | 02-11-2016 |
| 20160043689 | SOLAR PANEL INSTALLATION SYSTEMS AND METHODS - Solar panel installation systems are disclosed that reduce or eliminate the need for large, costly rails for mounting solar panels on an installation surface. The systems may include an array of framed solar modules supported above an installation surface using a number of height-adjustable base members. Adjacent solar modules in the array may be coupled to one another at or near their corners using module links that can structurally couple the frames of the adjacent solar modules together. | 02-11-2016 |
| 20160165746 | RAIL FOR MOUNTING A RACK-MOUNTABLE COMPONENT - A rail for mounting a rack-mountable component can include a longitudinal member having a first flange, a spring located proximal to the first end and having an uncompressed state and a compressed state, and a latch having a trigger arm and a cam arm, wherein moving the trigger arm toward the first flange engages the cam arm with the spring to transition the spring from the uncompressed state to the compressed state. | 06-09-2016 |
