LOCKING SOLENOID BRACKET
20210396351 · 2021-12-23 ·

A bracket mounting device for protecting a solenoid. The mounting bracket device secures the solenoid in place. The bracket mounting device is configured to reinforce the linear plunger-type solenoid increasing stability and strength. The solenoid is encapsulated by the bracket mounting device. A solenoid case bracket that cover the solenoid extends from a pair of base flanges that are used to attach the bracket mounting device to the solenoid and a surface to which the solenoid is attached. A plurality of reinforcing elements provide additional strength to a connection between the solenoid case bracket and the pair of base flanges. The mounting bracket device protects the solenoid from external pressure damage and holds the solenoid in place.

Variable spring rate chassis

An apparatus including a chassis assembly having a housing, a spindle rotatably mounted to the housing, a spring collar rotatably mourned to the housing, a first biasing element rotationally urging the spindle toward a spindle home position, and a second biasing element rotationally urging the spring collar toward a spring collar home position. The apparatus may further include a handle mounted on the chassis such that the chassis biases the handle to a handle home position with a return torque. The handle is engaged with the spindle such that the first biasing element contributes to the return torque. In certain embodiments, the handle may further be engaged with the spring collar such that the second biasing element contributes to the return torque.

Expansion adjusting dual action door latch assembly
11359413 · 2022-06-14 · ·

A dual action latch, having a latch handle, an elongate bolt, a cam, a latch housing, and a biasing device, for installation on one side of door. The latch handle includes a lifting portion and a lever arm. The latch housing has a lever arm aperture through which the lever arm of the latch handle passes and a bolt guide for slidably receiving the elongate bolt. The latch handle is movably attached to the latch housing. With the latch handle moved, the lever arm withdraws the elongate bolt into the latch housing. Independently, when the cam is rotated by a separate handle on the other side the door, the cam plate likewise withdraws the elongate bolt into the latch housing.

A mounting assembly comprising: a bracket; a mounting part; and a height adjustment mechanism to vary the position of the mounting part with respect to the bracket in the vertical direction. The height adjustment mechanism comprises: a set of interlocking elements; an arm connected to the bracket and having a protrusion that is moveable in a depth direction with respect to the bracket between a retracted position and a locking position in which the free end interlocks with an interlocking element; and at least one set screw extending along the vertical direction. Rotating the set screw moves the set screw in the vertical direction and pushes the protrusion from its retracted position to its locking position.
