International Classification:

A47B 8800

US Classification:

31233431

Abstract:

An improved drawer glide for a drawer slide assembly provides drawer slide securement structure taking the form of an internal recess that securely receives a rear portion of an elongated metal drawer slide extending past a rear panel of a drawer. By providing the recess within the drawer glide as drawer slide securement structure, a range of lengths of drawer slides may be used for a given drawer length, significantly reducing the number of different sizes of drawer slides required to meet demands of the furniture industry. The improved drawer glide also includes internal reinforcement structure in the form of an imbedded metal plate.

International Classification:

A47K 312

US Classification:

45721

Abstract:

A bath seat usable in a tub for infants and small children includes a seat portion with a curved back support mounted thereto. The base includes at least one deformable tub gripping element for removably affixing the seat to a bath tub. The seat includes first and second spaced apart, elongated members which are attached to regions of the back support and extend therefrom. A removable tray is adapted to slidably engage the elongated members. A releasable latch, carried in part on the tray and in part on at least one of the elongated members, locks the tray to the one elongated member in one of a plurality of linearly displaced positions. The seat includes a strut extending between the base and the tray to lockingly engage and support the tray. The strut prevents a child from slipping under the tray and maintains the child in the seat during the bath.

International Classification:

A47C 2108

US Classification:

5426

Abstract:

A portable, foldable bed rail adapted for use with an associated bed having a mattress thereon includes a rail member having first and second substantially identical, mirror image end rail portions and a central rail portion. The end rail portions are hingedly mounted to the central rail portion by respective rail hinge members having parallel axes of rotation. The end rail portions are foldable toward one another adjacent to the central rail portion for storage. The end rails each include a support member having a support leg. The support members are independently hingedly mounted to a respective one of the end rail portions by support hinges. The support hinges have parallel axes of rotation and are rotatable in a direction transverse to the rail hinge members. Each of the support hinge members is independently movable toward and away from its respective end rail portion. The support legs are movable between a first, folded position wherein said support legs fold inward, adjacent to the rail member, and a second, operative position wherein the support legs fold outwardly, and extend generally transverse to the rail.

International Classification:

F21V 21/35
F21V 21/088
F21V 23/00
F21V 21/30

Abstract:

A track lighting device includes a clamp assembly having a dual engagement mechanism for coupling to a track. For example, the clamp assembly includes a collar rotatable about a collar axis, and a cam follower having a cam-pin received by a first groove of a cam. The cam also includes a second groove and a first engagement member. The first groove translates a rotational movement of the collar and the cam follower into a linear movement along the collar axis to releasably couple the first engagement member to the track. The clamp assembly also includes a latch assembly having a second engagement member and a latch-pin in communication with the second groove of the cam. At least a portion of the latch assembly pivots about a latch axis based on movement of the latch-pin relative to the second groove to couple the second engagement member to the track.

International Classification:

G01R 29/08
G01R 19/155
G08B 7/06

Abstract:

A wearable electric field detector configured to be worn by a wearer in an environment includes inner and outer housings which are movable relative to each other between a closed position and an open position. When in the closed position, a body of the inner housing is concealed within the outer housing, and when in the open position, the body is partially visible to visually indicate that the detector is open. The detector includes field detection circuitry which is configured to detect voltage in an electric field in the environment around the wearer. The circuitry is in communication with at least one of a speaker and a light source which are configured to be activated by the field detection circuitry.
