A safety bed apparatus has upper and lower panels which can be lowered below the level of the mattress for easy egress and ingress into the bed. A grooved track is mounted to each of the two bed posts, each having a grooved track mounted thereon and each having a pair of generally vertically extending parallel grooves therein. Each vertically extending groove has a plurality of downwardly angled grooves extending therefrom and ending with a generally vertical locking notch. The top and bottom en...

A disconnector shall be provided which along with a high degree of reliability and little structural effort enables two electric conductors to be separated from each other. To this end, a disconnector is proposed, comprising a housing (10), first and second conductors (14, 16) which extend into the housing (10) and abut against each other at a contact point (18, 20), and an adjusting element (12) adjustable between a starting position and a separating position relative to the first and second co...

The disclosed safety device for a motor vehicle seat may include a seat surface extending in a longitudinal direction of the seat, a securing element assigned to the seat surface; and an adjustment device operatively connected to the securing element for adjusting the securing element from a reclining position into a securing position in an event of a crash. The adjustment device is configured to reset the securing element from the securing position into the reclining position. The securing elem...

A safety system for use with a machine having a moving tool arranged to move through a known path of movement. The safety system is arranged to detect the presence of an obstruction in a region (20) around a portion of said path deemed to be hazardous. The safety system is characterised by comprising a light emitting means (16), a light receiving means (18) and a processing and control means. The light emitting means (16) is arranged to emit light generally parallel to the path of movement of th...

A flashlight particularly useful by safety personnel such as a firefighter and capable of operation with chargeable battery means or non-chargeable battery means. The flashlight includes a one piece plastic casing having a tubular body portion defining a battery compartment and a right angled head portion in which a light bulb is mounted. The battery compartment is closed by an end cap on which electrical conductive means is mounted to form a part of the battery circuit when non-rechargeable bat...

A safety cover for an electrical socket or switch has a frame that extends about a socket or switch plate and a cover panel hinged to the frame to prevent access to the plate in a closed position. The frame is secured by clamping an inwardly directed lip between the plate and a mounting box to which the plate is releasably secured. A latch secures the cover panel in the closed position and is released by a key allowing movement of the cover panel to an open position under the biasing of a spring...

A safety device includes a safety module (11), a data bus (12) and one or several transmitters (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20). The safety module transmits a pulse train (one dynamic signal) over the bus (12) constituting a loop, whereby the pulse train is connected to each of the transmitters, wherein the pulse is phase inverted.

A safety switch is a shell and has a base, a cover and two fasteners. The fasteners are detachably mounted on the base and the cover. The fasteners are made of resilient material more resilient than material for the base and the cover so the safety switch can keep the fastener from being broken. Furthermore, the fasteners can be arranged in different sizes to allow the safety switch to fit with different panels.

A safety hook includes: a hook body having a base segment that has front and rear end portions, the rear end portion being formed with an elongate groove that is defined by a groove-defining wall which has a lower surface; a latch locking unit including a limiting rod that extends through the elongate groove and that is in sliding contact with the lower surface of the groove-defining wall; and a latch unit pivoted to the front end portion. The latch unit has a limiting arm unit extending toward ...

In order to perform maintenance of a working robot, a worker pulls a handle of a slider and moves the slider backward to thereby withdraw a slider fitting portion from a fitting hole portion and withdraw an actuator from an operating portion of a door switch. In this case, a key inserted into a key hole of a lock is rotated through 90.degree. to vertically orient an interference protruding portion to thereby prevent fitting of the slider fitting portion into the fitting hole portion. Only in thi...
