| 20100275520 | Door edge guard for use with interior sealant - A door edge guard for protecting the trailing edge of a door having a seam covered by sealant on the interior of the door includes a metal body having an internal portion facing the trailing edge and an exterior portion, a curved base adapted to fit over the trailing edge, an exterior leg extending from the base to fit against the exterior of the door, an interior leg to fit against that part of the interior of the door extending from the base to near the sealant, and an insulating cover coextruded or laminated onto the metal body to prevent contact between the metal body and metal in the door. The end of the leg of the metal body on the exterior of the door is folded to form a bead, but the interior leg is straight. The interior leg is also shorter than the exterior leg, the length of the interior leg typically being the length of the exterior leg to the folded end of the bead. In one arrangement, the exterior leg is folded inwardly to form the bead, and in another arrangement, the exterior leg is folded outwardly to form the bead, and the exterior leg bends inwardly to add tension between the legs. Different combinations of insulating material and stainless are disclosed. In yet another arrangement, a step insulated edge is formed on the exterior end of the interior leg. | 11-04-2010 |

| 20090193607 | Method and apparatus for disinfecting handles and hand rails - An apparatus is disclosed for disinfecting or sanitizing a handle or a handrail. A sanitizer substantially surrounds a portion of a handle or handrail that would come into contact with a user of the handle or handrail, and the sanitizer and handle or handrail are moved with respect to each other so that the sanitizer sanitizes substantially the entire portion of the handle or handrail that would come into contact with a user of the handle or handrail. In one arrangement, an absorbent applicator substantially surrounds a longitudinal portion of the handle or handrail, a disinfectant is in the absorbent applicator, and a gripper holds the absorbent applicator in contact with the handle or handrail. The gripper is capable of sliding longitudinally with respect to the handle or handrail, thereby distributing the disinfectant onto the handle or handrail. In an arrangement for a movable handrail, the gripper is stationary and the movable handrail moves through the stationary gripper, thereby disinfecting the movable handrail. In another arrangement, the sanitizer includes a fluid chamber and a disinfectant in the fluid chamber. The portion of the handle or handrail which would come into contact with a user of the handle or handrail passes through the disinfectant. A wiper wipes the excess disinfectant from the handle or handrail. In one embodiment, the wiper comprises a brush or a sponge or sponge-like material. In other arrangements, the sanitizer includes an ultraviolet light or a heated sanitizer chamber or through which the handle or handrail passes. | 08-06-2009 |
