Filed:

Sep 29, 2006

Appl. No.:

11/537133

Inventors:

Steven R. Knight - Portland CT, US
Ryan D. Cutter - Farmington CT, US

International Classification:

H01M 8/04

US Classification:

429 26, 429 39

Abstract:

A fuel cell system comprising a fuel cell stack and a layer assembly forming the fluid circuitry for the fuel cell stack. The layer assembly comprises a plurality of layers assembled in face-to-face contact and joined together in a fluid-tight manner. At least some of the layers integrate fluid-interacting devices and/or fluid-conveying channels. The layers have aligned openings for forming potential passageways through the layer assembly, and these passageways are partially opened and/or partially blocked to form the fluid circuitry.

Appl. No.:

9/007667

Ryan Cutter - Kensington CT

Assignee:

Harrow Products, Inc. - Grand Rapids MI

International Classification:

E05B 1502

US Classification:

29234116

Abstract:

An electrically controlled strike has a strike frame defining a jamb face opening and a strike face opening. A keeper assembly selectively closes across the frame face opening. A lock assembly readily reconfigurable between fail secure and fail safe arrangements locks the keeper in the closed position. The actuator of the lock assembly drives a plunger between first and second positions to lock and unlock the keeper assembly. The plunger is biased to the first position. A lock member is mountable to the plunger in the fail safe configuration wherein the keeper is released when the plunger is in the second position. The locking member is also engageable to the plunger in a fail secure arrangement wherein the keeper is locked when the plunger is in the first position and the keeper is released when the plunger is in the second position. The strike also incorporates a jamming resistant feature for both the fail safe and fail secure configurations.

Appl. No.:

Inventors:

Ryan D. Cutter - Kensington CT

Assignee:

Harrow Products, Inc. - Grand Rapids MI

International Classification:

E05B 6510

US Classification:

292 92

Abstract:

A latch device, which is especially adapted for an exit bar, incorporates a trigger assembly. When the latch device is retracted and released, as ordinarily occurs when the door is opened, the latch bolt is biased to an intermediate extended position. The trigger engages the rim of the strike plate which in turn releases a retainer arm and allows the latch bolt to project to an extended position within the strike thereby providing a latch function of high integrity.
