International Classification:

H02P007/00

US Classification:

318445000

Abstract:

The present invention discloses a non-contact door safety system comprising two spring-loaded legs on either side of the door and a photo-optic system that creates a beam the desired distance in front of the leading edge of the door. The beam can be considered an imaginary leading edge of the door.

Appl. No.:

6/216775

Inventors:

Norman K. Miller - Glen Mills PA

International Classification:

H01H 316

US Classification:

200 6143

Abstract:

A door edge including an elongate hollow resiliently flexible body for securement to a door generally in the plane of the door, the body having an outer wall remote from the door of a cross-sectional configuration generally sinuous or corrugated, and a compression actuable switch extending longitudinally within the hollow body for actuation upon compression by a trough or depression of the sinuous outer wall.

Appl. No.:

7/342642

Inventors:

Norman K. Miller - Concordville PA

Assignee:

Miller Edge, Inc. - Concordville PA

International Classification:

H01H 316

US Classification:

200 86R

Abstract:

A high sensitivity door edge switch including an openwork or perforate spacer for extension along a door edge, flexible conductors on opposite sides of the spacer in spaced apart confronting relation through the spacer perforations, and a resiliently compressible deflection element in facing relation with the spacer, the deflection element being elastically deformable into the spacer perforations to flex the conductive elements into engagement with each other upon low unit pressure applied to the deflection element, even over a large extent.

Appl. No.:

7/585332

Inventors:

Norman K. Miller - Concordville PA
Bearge D. Miller - Concordville PA

Assignee:

Miller Edge, Inc. - Concordville PA

International Classification:

H01H 316

US Classification:

200 6143

Abstract:

A sensing edge having increased sensitivity is disclosed. The sensing edge is for causing a closing door to open by actuation of a device upon force being applied to the sensing edge. The sensing edge comprises a compressible outer sheath having a grooved wall surface and at least a portion of a switch assembly positioned within the sheath. The grooved wall surface renders the sheath more easily compressible thereby increasing the sensitivity of the sensing edge.

Appl. No.:

7/585578

Inventors:

Norman K. Miller - Concordville PA
Bearge D. Miller - Concordville PA

Assignee:

Miller Edge, Inc. - Concordville PA

International Classification:

H01H 316
E06B 716

US Classification:

200 6143

Abstract:

A fastening device for securing a sensing edge to a door edge. The fastening device includes a mounting plate having a first surface for being attached to the door edge and a second surface for attachment of the sensing edge. The sensing edge detects objects in proximity to the door edge and includes an elongate sheath compressible upon application of external pressure and a switch for actuating an electrical device upon compression of the sheath. A pair of male and female members are interconnected between the mounting plate and the sheath to releasably secure the sensing edge to the mounting plate and to thereby allow the sensing edge to be releasably secured to the door edge.

International Classification:

F42B 0300
B65D 3022
B65D 3024
B65D 3314

US Classification:

383 6

Abstract:

A valved bag including elongate facing outer walls peripherally secured together except for an unsecured end region, an inner wall between the outer walls extending across the unsecured region and secured to one outer wall partially across the unsecured region to leave an access passageway, extensions on the inner and other outer wall extending across the unsecured region and secured together to close the unsecured region, and a sealing flap exteriorly of the inner wall extension and the adjacent region of the secured outer wall and secured thereto for removable sealing engagement with the later by internal pressure of the bag.

Inventors:

Norman K. Miller - Concordville PA

International Classification:

H01H 316
E05F 1500

US Classification:

200 6143

Abstract:

A safety door edge switch including a flexible sheath, an internal resiliently compressible foam formation in the sheath and providing fluid communication therealong, a relatively rigid transverse structure at one region in the sheath and containing a pressure sensitive switch element communicating with the inner formation for sensing pressure throughout the sheath and a pair of spaced confronting flexible contact sheaths engageable to provide a secondary switch.

International Classification:

F42B 300
B65D 3024
B65D 3314

US Classification:

383 6

Abstract:

A self-sealing valved bag including elongate facing outer walls periphally secured together except for an unsecured end region, an inner wall between the outer walls extending across the unsecured end region, the inner wall being secured to one outer wall partially across the unsecured end region to leave an access passageway between the inner and said one outer wall, the inner wall being secured to the other outer wall entirely across the unsecured end region to close the latter between the inner and said other outer wall, and a pocket exteriorly on an outer wall opening toward an end thereof and terminating in a closure medially of the outer walls.
