Appl. No.:

11/130529

Inventors:

William J. Platt - Aston PA, US
Yu Lin - Blue Bell PA, US

Assignee:

Worthington Armstrong Venture - Malvern PA

International Classification:

E04B 9/08
E04C 2/02

US Classification:

52232, 5250607, 525731, 52664, 52DIG 5

Abstract:

The invention relates to a right-angle connection in the grid of a suspended ceiling, between inverted T-beams having a vertical web extending between a bulb at the top and flanges at the bottom. A connector on the end of a cross beam hooks into a slot in the web of a main beam. The connector has a plastic encasement that forms abutments about a metallic core. The abutments position the connector within the slot in the web, and prevent further entry of the connector into the slot, under normal conditions. The plastic abutments melt away during a fire, so that the beam can expand longitudinally into the slot to relieve stresses in the beam, without the beam buckling. Ridges on the bottom of the metallic core that engage the web at the bottom of the slot, prevent pullback of the connector from the slot, during a fire, to prevent the ceiling from sagging or drooping.

US Classification:

5250606, 5250608, 5250607, 525061

Abstract:

A V-shaped indent is formed in a stab-in connector for a suspended ceiling grid. The indent forms a vertical bend line. In a fire, the connector bends along the vertical bend line to permit a cross beam in the grid to expand while keeping the grid intact, and thus capable of continuing to support the panels.

International Classification:

E04B 9/34

US Classification:

5250606, 5250607, 525061, 5250609

Abstract:

A stab-in connector that locks with an opposing identical connector, through a slot in the main beam of a suspended ceiling grid. The connector has a straight locking latch that is cantilevered from a bend at a base of the connector. The bend is in the form of an arc. The bend forms a pivot for the latch. Contact between the cantilevered straight locking latch and the side of the slot is delayed as the connector is being stabbed into the slot. During the delay, the connectors are positioned within the slot, and relative to each other, so that substantially less force is needed than the force that was necessary to engage prior art stab-in connectors into locking position.

International Classification:

H02J 7/00
H04W 4/80
H04M 1/04

Abstract:

A mobile device auxiliary battery is disclosed. The mobile device auxiliary battery can supply electric current to the mobile device. A processing device associated with the auxiliary battery may be wirelessly connected to the mobile device, such as with a Bluetooth interface, and thereby control operational aspects of the battery, including for example control over supplying power to the mobile device. The auxiliary battery may be part of a charging system or kit that includes a uniquely designed separate charger or part of a protective case. In yet another aspect, the protective case may include unitary bumper flexible bumper co-molded to the body of the case and a male connector extending from a nested portion that is adapted to tilt outward from the case to facilitate insertion of the corresponding female port on the mobile device into the connector and into the case. The protective case may also include a stand in the form of dock or cradle to allow positioning and/or charging of the battery case and mobile device via external contact terminals correspondingly positioned on the outside of the case and in the cavity of the cradle.

Abstract:

An improved battery case adapted to removably receive, protect and provide power to a mobile device is provided. The case includes a base configured to house a rechargeable battery, a user detachable back face cover capable of providing aesthetic modularity to the consumer and manufacturing advantages, and a bumper that is constructed to include a rigid inner frame or skeleton that includes an outwardly extending rib that is molded on either side with an outer softer and more elastic layer that extends over the face of the mobile device. The bumper can be molded as an integral part of the case or be removably attached to the a component of the case.
