| 20110126479 | FOLDABLE ENCLOSURE - The present invention provides a foldable enclosure intending as a building or portion of a building that may be transported to a desired site in a folded configuration and then expanded into its intended form. The enclosure has a floor and two wall or roof support section extending upwardly from opposed sides of the floor section. A first roof section spans across the gap between the wall or roof support sections. At least a second roof section in provided that is pivotally mounted to the structure to overlie the first roof section in transit and fold out to extend outwardly substantially in plane with the first roof section in the expanded form. Similarly, second floor sections may be pivotally mounted to lie adjacent the wall/roof support sections in transit and extend outwardly substantially in plane with the first floor section when expanded. A further wall section may be pivotally connected to the end of the second floor section so that it may lie parallel and adjacent the second floor section in transit and extend upwardly from the second floor section when expanded to interconnect with the expanded roof and complete the enclosure. In the preferred form the structure includes a third roof section pivotally mounted to the second roof section to further extend the roof in the expanded configuration to meet and connect with the further wall section. | 06-02-2011 |

| 20090320650 | ADJUSTABLE WRENCH - An adjustable wrench includes a body with a first jaw fixed to the body, and a second jaw movable relative to the first jaw. A lever mechanism is coupled to the body and the second jaw to effect motion of the second jaw relative to the first jaw. The wrench also includes a locking mechanism having a free state in which the first and second jaws move relative to each other, and a locking state in which the first and second jaws are locked from movement away from each other. The locking mechanism changes from the free state to the locking state after an object is gripped between the first and second jaws. The locking mechanism includes a pawl coupled with the lever mechanism, the pawl being arranged to move linearly into engagement with the body when the locking mechanism changes from the free state to the locking state. | 12-31-2009 |
