Inventors:

- Chicago IL, US
Gregory Wendel Swanson - Tukwila WA, US

International Classification:

B29C 73/12

Abstract:

Systems and methods for attaching to a surface and applying a calibrated load are described. An example system for attaching to a surface and applying a calibrated load includes a suction cup to attach to an attachment surface and a rocker arm to apply a load to a working surface. The rocker arm is coupled to the suction cup and comprises a portion extending over the suction cup to apply pressure over the suction cup.

Inventors:

- Chicago IL, US
Gregory W. Swanson - Burien WA, US

International Classification:

E05B 67/38
B64C 1/14

Abstract:

Lock assemblies for locking female drive receptacles include a portion with a feature that is configured to permit selective insertion of the portion of the lock assembly into the female drive receptacle when the portion is in a first rotational orientation and to selectively restrict removal of the portion from the non-circular receptacle when the portion is in a second rotational orientation that is offset from the first rotational orientation. The lock assembly is configured to receive a padlock to restrict rotation of the portion from the second rotational orientation to the first rotational orientation and thereby lock the lock assembly to the female drive receptacle.
