    摘要: A counterbalance assembly including a housing, a pivot nose, and a spring pack. The housing including a front housing wall having a first housing edge and a second housing edge opposite the first housing edge, a first housing side wall projecting from the first housing edge and having a first retaining slot, and a second housing side wall oppositely disposed relative to the first housing side wall, projecting from the second housing edge and having second retaining slot in registered alignment with the first retaining slot. The pivot nose including a front pivot nose wall having a first pivot nose edge and a second pivot nose edge opposite the first pivot nose edge, a first pivot nose side wall projecting from the first pivot nose edge and having a first pivot nose through hole, and a second pivot nose side wall oppositely disposed relative to the first pivot nose side wall, projecting from the second pivot nose edge and having a second pivot nose through hole, the first and second pivot nose through holes are in registered alignment with the first and second retaining slot. The spring pack disposed within a volume formed by the housing and including a first end engaged with the housing, a second end engaged with the pivot nose, and an energy storage device arranged between the first and second ends.

    摘要: An organizer containing a housing with a plurality of compartments, at least one bin disposed in a compartment and pivotally attached thereto. The organizer further includes a locking mechanism that selectively locks the bin in place when the bin is in its fully closed position. When more than one bins are present, the locking mechanism is also capable of locking a first bin in its fully closed position while simultaneously allowing a second bin to move from its open position to being locked in its fully closed position, without unlocking the first bin.

    摘要: The present invention provides an encapsulated flexible hinge that is particularly suited for use as an original part or as a replacement hinge on a cooler. The encapsulated flexible hinge is comprised of a flexible woven central reinforcement member having a rubber or polymer coating that has been forced through the reinforcement member to create an outer and an inner rubber coating that encapsulates the reinforcement member. In another embodiment, the inner and outer coating is comprised of the same or two different materials that are vulcanized together after being extruded on either side of the reinforcement member. The encapsulated flexible hinge may take on various shapes, and can be cut into a specific shape if need be.
