Feb 9, 2001

Appl. No.:

09/780306

Inventors:

Daniel Pompel Cedrone - Huntersville NC, US

Assignee:

Poly-Tech Industrial, LLC - Huntersville NC

International Classification:

E05F 1/02
E05D 11/08

US Classification:

16309, 16316, 16273

Abstract:

A gravity hinge is disclosed that is simple to manufacture and avoids limitations found in known gravity hinges. The hinge includes two cylindrical knuckles joined by a spindle and separated by a polymer bushing. The junction of the knuckles and the bushing is at an angle oblique to the vertical axis of the knuckles and spindle. The oblique angle causes the upper knuckle to rotate upward upon the application of a rotational force thereby storing potential energy. Upon the release of the rotational force the upper knuckle falls or (rotates) back into place thereby returning the hinge to its natural, closed position.

Abstract:

An apparatus for washing, filling, and sealing a container includes an enclosure having an opening for receiving a container. The apparatus may include a rotary assembly, a wash station, a rinse station, a fill station, and a seal station all contained within the enclosure. The rotary assembly may include any number of racks for carrying the containers. The rotary assembly advances (e. g. , about an axis) and facilitates the washing, filling, and sealing of the containers within the enclosure. The apparatus may be employed in a method for washing, rinsing, filling, and sealing containers within an enclosure. The method may be conducted consecutively. The steps of washing, filling, and sealing are conducted simultaneously.

US Classification:

40219

Abstract:

The invention relates to a frame assembly for displaying a plurality of indicia and reflecting an image. The frame assembly comprises a frame supporting at least one light source, a sheet member positioned adjacent to the light source, a substrate bearing indicia releasably secured to the sheet member, a mirror positioned adjacent to the sheet member and light source, and a sensor for detecting an object. The frame assembly in a first mode displays desired indicia through the mirror and, upon the sensor detecting an object at a desired distance, in a second mode functions as a mirror to reflect an image.

International Classification:

G01B 302

US Classification:

33613, 33562

Abstract:

An apparatus for identifying a mounting hole on a wall surface comprises in one embodiment a flexible guide having a first section and a second section that are connected at one end, a tab for connecting free ends of the guide when the first and second sections are extended against one another, an elongate slit, and a pair of alignment openings that correspondingly align when the first and second sections are extended against one another to thereby identify an alignment reference point. A method for marking a wall surface to identify a mounting hole for an article to be hung comprises in one embodiment the steps of supporting an article with the flexible guide, releaseably securing free ends of the guide to one another, positioning the guide and article against a desired wall surface, and identifying the mounting hole with reference to an alignment reference opening in the guide.

Abstract:

A spirit bottle greeting card is configured to contain a small bottle of spirits as a gift for a recipient. The spirits are typically in 50 ml spirit bottle, a quantity of sufficient size for the sender to “toast” the occasion for the recipient. The spirit bottle greeting card includes a cover that is attached to a container with a hinge. A spirit bottle retainer is received in the container and suspends the spirit bottle within an interior cavity. The spirit bottle retainer has a recess to releasably and captively receive the spirit bottle. The recess has a neck portion to conform to a neck of the spirit bottle, a shoulder portion to conform to a shoulder of the spirit bottle, and a body portion to conform to a body of the spirit bottle. A plurality of retaining tabs hold the spirit bottle in a snap fit configuration.
