Sterilizing apparatus for input devices of computers
11690926 · 2023-07-04 ·

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a sterilization apparatus. The sterilization apparatus includes a housing. A drawer is slidably secured to the housing and adapted to receive input devices. The drawer is configured to operate between a retracted position, an intermediate position and an extended position. A plurality of ultraviolet (UV) lights is mounted within the housing and configured to emit UV radiation for a pre-determined time for sterilizing the input devices. A closure member is movably coupled to the housing. The closure member is operated between an open position and a closed position by manually applying force on the closure member, thereby causing the closure member to be pushed down by a distance within the housing. The closure member pushed down within the housing collectively operates a hinge mechanism, a cam and lever mechanism and a rotary mechanism, thereby configuring the closure member to the open and position positions.

Drawer slide and locking mechanism

A drawer slide with lock mechanism has an elongated outer slide member extendably coupled to an inner slide member. A latch arm or pin is fixed to the inner slide member for latching by a lock mechanism fixed to the outer slide member. The lock mechanism uses a latch receiver that rotates with respect to the lock mechanism and is in a travel path of the latch arm. A lever arm rotates with respect to the lock mechanism and is positionable to block rotation of the latch receiver in a locked position to retain the latch arm. A motor drives a cam to position the lever arm to free the latch receiver from the locked position.

Pop up storage system for marine vessels

A pop up storage system for a boat having an opening formed in a deck includes a cabinet beneath the opening in the deck. A drawer is mounted for vertical sliding movement into and out of the cabinet and defines a storage compartment movable between an open position and a closed position. A motion assistance arrangement extends between the cabinet and the drawer, and is configured for assisting in movement of the drawer relative to the cabinet between a raised position and a lowered position.

Synchronized locking system for a movable furniture part
09820573 · 2017-11-21 · ·

An arrangement includes two locking devices which are arranged on either side of a movable furniture part for locking the movable furniture part with respect to a furniture body in a locking position. Each locking device has a blocking device which prevents the locking position from being reached in a blocking position. Each locking device has a releasing device by means of which the blocking position of the blocking device associated with the other locking device can be cancelled.

DRIVING MECHANISM AND DRIVING METHOD FOR FURNITURE PARTS

A driving mechanism includes a first elastic member, a first locking device, a second elastic member and a second locking device. The first locking device is configured to allow the elastic member to release a first elastic force in an unlocking state. The second locking device is connected to the second elastic member. When a first furniture part is moved a predetermined distance relative to a second furniture part from an open position toward a retracted position, the first locking member is switched from the unlocking state to a locking state in order to accumulate the first elastic force, and the first furniture part is moved from the open position to the retracted position in response to a second elastic force of the second elastic member.

Pull-out device for at least two pull-out furniture parts

A device for blocking the pull-out movement of pull-out furniture parts including, for each of the pull-out furniture parts, a driver, a blocking unit which has a shiftable actuating, and a retraction spring and blocking rods which cooperate with the actuating parts, a respective actuating part that is shifted due to movement of the driver when the pull-out furniture part is pulled out and that displaces a blocking rod in a longitudinal axis direction, the blocking rods being blocked from any further axial displacement by a stop. Each of the blocking units has a pivotable catch arm that swivelable about a stationary pivot axis lying parallel to the longitudinal axes of the blocking rods and is loaded by the refraction spring, the catch arm being pivoted by the driver from an initial position to a final position when the pull-out furniture part is pulled out, thereby shifting the actuating part.

Cabinet system with improved drawer security
09770106 · 2017-09-26 · ·

A cabinet for securely storing items includes a drawer enclosure, a drawer, a cover, an electric actuator, and a switch. The drawer is slidable at least partially into and out of the enclosure, and includes a compartment. The cover is designed to block access to the compartment of the drawer when the cover is in a first configuration, and to allow access to the compartment when the cover is in a second configuration. The electric actuator is designed to move the cover from the first configuration to the second configuration. The switch is connected to the electric actuator, and when activated the switch selectively shorts the electric actuator. Sliding the drawer relative to the enclosure activates the switch.
