Appl. No.:

11/926718

Inventors:

Robert W. Powers - Boca Raton FL, US

Assignee:

Pin2Pin, LLC - Boca Raton FL

International Classification:

E06B 3/26

US Classification:

52202, 49 61, 49 62, 49463, 49 50, 49 57

Abstract:

A fastener device for releasably securing an object within an opening formed in a structure comprises a first fastening member and a second fastening member each having a pair of legs which are oriented at an angle relative to one another. A coupling element is movable along one of the legs of at least one of the first and second fastening members. One leg of each fastening member is inserted into a hole formed in the structure surrounding the opening allowing the other leg to pivot, preferably in a trochoidal motion, until the pivoting legs align with one another at which time the coupling element may be moved into engagement with the two pivoting legs to releasably connect the fastening members together in position to secure the object relative to the opening.

International Classification:

H02B 104
H05K 712

US Classification:

361427

Abstract:

A mounting bracket having multiple bayonet coupling elements which interengage with the bayonet coupling elements located on the body of an electrical instrument to be attached to a junction box. Additionally and in combination with the bayonet coupling elements, on the bracket and instrument body respectively, are included a pawl and ratchet arrangement for providing fine rotational adjustment while a toothed spring finger attached to the bracket engages a notched annular wall on the instrument body so as to latch and further secure the bracket to the body. It is anticipated that the mounting bracket will have to be attached to any one of several types of junction box thereby necessitating a multidirectional coupling arrangement for properly attaching the subject instrument to the particular junction box encountered.

Abstract:

An optical smoke detector including a plurality of walls extending from a dark chamber in which an optical smoke sensor is located. The walls form passages in the detector which extend from smoke entrances on the outer perimeter to smoke ports that feed into the dark chamber. In construction, the smoke entrances extend substantially continuously around the perimeter of the smoke detector to allow the free entry of smoke into the dark chamber. Each wall is arranged to overlap the next so as to obstruct the direct rays of light from entering the dark chamber and a screen is disposed around the perimeter of the detector to prevent the entrance of insects into the dark chamber.
