Snap-on safety guard for door gaps
A snap-on safety guard for door gaps preferably includes a jamb split tube and a cover plate. The jamb split tube includes a lengthwise gap. A curved jamb device is retained in a kerf slot of a kerf-style door frame. A molding lip extends inward from one end of the curved jamb device and a kerf lip extends inward from an opposing end thereof. A U-shaped clip is retained in a kerf slot of a kerf-style door frame. The U-shaped clip includes a kerf base, an inner kerf lip and an outer kerf lip. An L-shaped clip is retained in a kerf slot of a kerf-style door. The cover plate preferably includes a flat plate with at least one living hinge formed parallel with a length of the cover plate. An inner surface of the cover plate is attached to one of the jamb tubes.
Deployable Blocking Device
Disclosed is a portable blocking device for increasing privacy in a public restroom stall or similar public place and includes a retractable fabric for covering an opening, gap, or aperture in the construct of the restroom stall or similar public place. The deployable blocking device has a member that can be extended downward from a retracted position to an extended position covering the opening, gap, or aperture, thereby preventing anyone located exterior of the restroom stall or other similar public place from seeing into the interior through such opening, gap, or aperture. At the conclusion of its use when the individual is ready to exit the restroom stall or other similar public place, the deployable blocking device can be retracted and removed from the top portion of the stall door and stall door jamb and placed in a purse or pocket of the individual.
Adhesive Barrier System
An adhesive barrier system for enhancing privacy in bathroom stall includes a bathroom stall that has a wall and a door that is hingedly coupled to the wall. A strip is selectively positioned to extend vertically between the door and the wall. The strip is comprised of an opaque material to obstruct vision between the door and the wall. A plurality of adhesive pads is provided. Each of the adhesive pads is coupled to the strip. Each of the adhesive pads adheres to the wall and the door to retain the strip on the wall and the door.
MARKING-OUT AID
A marking-out aid for application of an installation marking on an object, in particular on a building element, has a first stop surface (20) for the defined contact of the marking-out aid on the object, and also at least one first feeedthrough opening (4) for receiving a marking tool (B). The marking-out aid has a basic body (1) and a first cross bar (2). The al least one first feedthrough opening (4) passes through the basic body (1). The first cross bar (2) is arranged at a first end of the basic body (1) and runs at a right angle to the basic body (1). The first cross bar (2) projects over the basic body (1) on at least one side, wherein that side of the first cross bar (2) which faces away from the basic body (1) forms the first stop surface (20). This marking-out aid is suitable in particular for the installation of finger protection roller screens and finger protection strip covers of doors.
Process for manufacturing an interlocking molding with sightline elimination flange for toilet and other partitions
A method for manufacturing an apparatus, such as a flanged interlocking molding for use in partitions such as restroom partitions is provided. The method comprises providing an elongated strip of a metallic material having a flat profile to a device comprising a roll former comprising a plurality of dies in series, each of the plurality of dies being configured to modify a profile of the elongated strip; and modifying the profile of the elongated strip from the flat profile to a profile comprising a plurality of profile segments separated by bends in the metallic material, by passing the elongated strip through the plurality of dies sequentially to define the profile. The profile segments include segments corresponding to a first arm, a body portion, a first flange layer, a second flange layer, a second arm of the apparatus.
Hinge mounted assembly for existing door constructions
A hinge mounted assembly for existing door constructions for supporting articles between a door and a door jamb in a door construction that has upper and lower hinges; including a first U shaped bracket mounted above one of the hinges to prevent downward movement of the hinge mounted assembly, and a second U shaped bracket mounted below one of the hinges to prevent upward movement of the hinge mounted assembly, and a vertically running support rod connected to the two brackets, such that it abuts closely against the protruding portion of both hinges on the back side of the door, to prevent lateral movement of the hinge mounted assembly.
SHOWER DOOR
An apparatus for providing a seal between a door jamb and a hinged door leaf of a shower, the apparatus having a flexible body configured to be attached to the door jamb and configured to contact the door leaf when the door leaf is in a closed position.
FOREIGN OBJECT DETECTION SYSTEMS AND CONTROL LOGIC FOR VEHICLE COMPARTMENT CLOSURE ASSEMBLIES
Disclosed are object detection systems for automated compartment closure assemblies, methods for operating such systems, and motor vehicles with a power liftgate assembly and foreign object detection capabilities. A method is disclosed for detecting objects obstructing the path of an automated closure assembly. The method includes receiving a command signal to move the closure assembly to an open or closed position, and receiving gesture-sensitive sensor signals with a location and velocity of an object within a supervision field. Responsive to the object being inside a protected zone within the supervision field or the object's velocity being towards the protected zone, commanding an automated driving mechanism to: slow the closure assembly's speed; if the object is still located inside the protected zone after a calibrated period of time, stop the closure assembly; and if the object moves outside the protected zone, increase the closure assembly speed to a default speed.
Door safety bumper
A door safety device generally includes a mounting member for coupling the device to a door and a blocking member for preventing complete closure of the door when the mounting member is attached to the door and the device is in a blocking configuration. The device can also include an intermediate member coupled between the mounting member and the blocking member. The intermediate member defines a first hinge axis extending in a direction parallel to the surface of the door and parallel to an edge of the door. The blocking member is movable (e.g., rotatable or revolvable) about the first hinge axis, at least when the mounting member is coupled to the door and the device is in a blocking configuration, so as to inhibit the transfer of detachment forces from the blocking member to the mounting member upon impact.
