| 20120125057 | SECURITY APPARATUS INCLUDING ATTACHMENT DEVICE - A security apparatus is disclosed. The security apparatus comprises an attachment device comprising a base, and a locking head configured to secure to the base. The locking head can have a securing element and a locking component, associated with a housing. The locking head may be in a secured configuration upon a single motion or movement of the locking head. | 05-24-2012 |
| 20110185774 | APPARATUS FOR SECURING A PORTABLE ELECTRONIC DEVICE - A securing device for securing portable electronic devices and the method of using the securing device are disclosed. The securing device has a plate assembly, a post assembly and a main bar. A portable electronic device is inserted in-between the plate assembly and the main bar. Thereafter, the post assembly is rotated from a first position to a second position which is perpendicular to the length of the plate assembly. While in the second position, the post assembly prevents the rearward movement of the portable electronic device. The main bar prevents the upward movement of the portable electronic device. The plate assembly has a recessed profile that allows airflow through the bottom portion of the portable electronic device while being secured with the securing device. | 08-04-2011 |
| 20110179834 | SECURITY APPARATUS INCLUDING BREAKAWAY KEY - A security system is disclosed. The security system may include a breakaway key and security apparatus. The breakaway key may have one or more stress areas, to facilitate separation of the key when it is improperly used. The security apparatus may have a rotatable sleeve, so that a user attempting to twist the security apparatus will only end up twisting the sleeve. Thus, the security apparatus cannot easily be broken by a rotation. | 07-28-2011 |
| 20110150605 | BINDING MACHINE - A binding machine includes a body, an actuator coupled with the body, and a punch mechanism housed in the body for punching a stack of sheets upon actuation of the actuator. The punch mechanism includes a plate including a plurality of punch pins. The punch pins are configured to punch through the stack of sheets during a punch stroke, the punch stroke defining a force profile. A portion of the force profile defined from a first drop in force to a last peak force before a final decrease has no more than a 15 percent change in force relative to a normalized maximum force of the force profile. | 06-23-2011 |
| 20110064337 | LAMINATING MATERIAL AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING - A laminating sheet includes a translucent ply and an adhesive coating applied to the translucent ply. The adhesive coating is activatable by at least one of pressure and heat and is provided on the translucent ply in a configuration providing at least one form of indicia that is visible prior to the adhesive being activated. A method of manufacturing a laminating sheet is also disclosed, whereby an adhesive coating activatable by at least one of pressure and heat is applied to a translucent ply and is configured to provide at least one form of visible indicia. | 03-17-2011 |
| 20110020095 | BINDING SYSTEM WITH BINDING MACHINE AND BINDING ELEMENTS - A binding system for binding a stack of sheets with a binding element includes a binding machine having an indicia associated with an operation to be performed in binding the stack of sheets, and at least one binding element having an indicia corresponding to the indicia on the binding machine. | 01-27-2011 |
| 20100181027 | LAMINATING DEVICE - A laminating arrangement includes a laminating roller, a heat source for heating the laminating roller, the heat source being powered by an AC power supply, and a heat source intensity control system for controlling the intensity of the heat source. The intensity control system includes a processor and a triode for alternating current communicating with the processor. The triode for alternating current is turned on and off by the processor to control the AC power supply to the heat source to vary the intensity of the heat source. | 07-22-2010 |
