Novel Pest Barricade
20210032928 · 2021-02-04 ·

A barricade used to obstruct the gap between a garage door, weather stripping, a threshold surface and a door frame. The barricade successfully prevents pests from breaching the barricade. The barricade uses a spring assist with low displacement force in order to conform to the changing downward or upward angle when a garage door is being operated. It also includes smooth ceramic or rubber that is magnetized to prevent chaffing to the garage door surface. This barrier stays in-place or rotates relative to the garage door face when encountering foreign objects in the path of the moving garage door. Alternatively, the barriers may be constructed of overlapping and/or abutting material configured to obstruct gaps at door frames and/or at threshold surfaces where a weather stripping and/or weather-stripping bulb provide inadequate obstruction.

DOUBLE-ACTING DOOR

A moveable wall includes a panel and a door that pivots with respect to the panel. A moveable bottom panel portion is connected to and can move with respect to a bottom edge of the panel. A panel height adjustment assembly can move the moveable bottom panel portion with respect to the bottom edge of the panel into and out of engagement with a floor surface. The panel height adjustment assembly is activated by a user without the use of tools. A moveable bottom door portion is connected to and can move with respect to a bottom edge of the door. A door height adjustment assembly can move the moveable bottom door portion with respect to the bottom edge of the door so that the moveable bottom door portion is adjacent the floor surface. The door height adjustment assembly is activated by a user without the use of tools.

Refrigerator

The present invention provides a refrigerator comprising a cabinet having a storage chamber; an inner case forming the exterior of the storage chamber; a first door pivotally provided to the cabinet and opening and closing one side of the storage chamber; a second door having a pillar rotated so as to come into contact with the first door, pivotally provided to the cabinet, and opening and closing the other side of the storage chamber; and a driving member provided at a lower end of the second door so as to move together with the second door, and operating the pillar so as to fold or unfold the pillar, wherein the pillar has a first catching protrusion and a second catching protrusion, which are selectively caught by the driving member.

Threshold and threshold cap

A threshold has a substrate, a sill deck, an upstanding nosing, and an upstanding dam. An upwardly open sill channel is defined between the upstanding nosing and the upstanding dam. A threshold cap extends along and at least partially overlies the upwardly open sill channel. At least one holder is formed separate from the threshold cap and is located in the upwardly open sill channel between the upstanding dam and the upstanding nosing, the at least one holder at least partially supporting the threshold cap. The holder is removably disposed within the sill channel. The threshold cap is pivotably attached to the holder. The threshold cap is capable of rotating between a raised position and a lowered position. In at least the raised position, a highest point of the threshold cap is closer to the upstanding dam than the upstanding nosing.

Passive door bolt assembly
10829981 · 2020-11-10 · ·

A bolt assembly for securing a passive door panel relative to an entryway frame. The bolt assembly has a base to be fixedly mounted relative to the passive door panel, a catch attached to the base with a leaf spring to deflect relative to the base, and a bolt which is able to translate relative to the base between a retracted position and an extended position for securing the passive door panel. The bolt is biased toward the extended position and selectively maintained in the retracted position by the catch.
