Control structure
11299901 · 2022-04-12 · ·

A control structure device for racks or buildings. The device is able to limit forces developed within itself or a structure (e.g. building or storage rack) it connects with and is seismically supportive of as it endures ground or base motion input from a seismic event. The control structure may comprise a relatively inflexible rocker frame which is pivotably connected to a foundation. Rotation of the rocker frame causes a flexural member to flexurally displace to limit force and energy in the system.

Cabinet system including accessory

A system that includes a cabinet and an accessory capable of being stored within a storage compartment of the cabinet. The cabinet may include a cabinet housing and a mirrored door having a ferromagnetic element. The mirrored door may include a first mirror having a reflective surface forming an outer surface of the mirrored door and a second mirror having a reflective surface forming an inner surface of the mirrored door. The ferromagnetic element may be embedded within the first and second mirrors. In an example the first ferromagnetic element may be an elongated plate formed of a ferromagnetic material. The accessory may include another ferromagnetic element that may include one or more magnets. The accessory may be sized and shaped to be capable of being stored within a storage compartment of the cabinet. The accessory may be mounted to the mirrored door by magnetic attraction between the ferromagnetic elements.

Force limiter and energy dissipater
11866956 · 2024-01-09 ·

An earthquake force limiter and energy dissipater for racks or buildings. The device allowing stable yielding action of a flexure plate to enable control structures or standard structural frames to form a stable cycling high displacement elasto-plastic mechanism in resistive response to a seismic ground motion input. The stable flexural yielding of the plates limits the magnitude of forces developed within the control structure of which the plates are part of; or within a standard structural frame found in racking structures or general building structures, which the plate is typically directly supportive of. The design reduces prying action or tensile or compressive membrane forces developing in a plate of the device; so that the plate can maintain a stable constant resistive force while yielding to high transverse displacements.
