US Patent:

41034015, Aug 1, 1978

Filed:

Feb 3, 1977

Appl. No.:

5/765098

Inventors:

John L. Conley - Chino CA

International Classification:

A44B 2100

US Classification:

24243K

Abstract:

A sheet gripping assembly for thin pliable sheet material, such as plastic film, having a laterally opening channel-like base member and a pair of sheet gripping members insertable into the base member channel through its open side to grip sheet material in the channel in a manner which precludes dislodging of the gripping members from the channel by tension in the sheet material.

International Classification:

B08B 302

US Classification:

134138

Abstract:

Both paint rollers and paint brushes may be cleaned of water base paints within this apparatus which comprises an open ended tubular housing which contains a water manifold which produces a series of water jets which are aligned with the elongated axis of the housing and which impact either the paint roller or the paintbrush in a slightly offset fashion so as to impart a spin thereto. An adjustable clamping means is located on the outside of the housing on the side opposite the location of the water manifold which adapts to a variety of different configurations of paint roller holder rods in order that the paint roller itself may be properly disposed within the interior of the housing such that the axis of the roller aligns with the axis of the housing. The water jets then impact off-center on the pile of the paint roller, washing out the paint, and imparting a spin to the roller which throws off the diluted paint and the wash water. Paint brushes are cleaned in the apparatus by employing an additional element, a brush holder, which fits into one of the open ends of the housing.

International Classification:

A47H 1300

US Classification:

160392

Abstract:

A sheet gripping assembly for thin pliable sheet material, such as plastic film comprising either a single sheet or two separate sheets disposed face to face. The sheet gripping assembly has an elongate base with a longitudinal channel opening through one longitudinal side of the base for receiving the sheet material to be gripped and a sheet lock insert which coacts with the channel side walls to grip the sheet material between interengaging longitudinal edge formations on the sidewalls and insert. A second sheet lock insert is provided to secure one sheet of dual sheet material within a second channel in the base.

Inventors:

John L. Conley - Chino CA

International Classification:

A44B 2100

US Classification:

24461

Abstract:

A sheet gripping assembly for thin pliable sheet material, such as plastic film, having a channel shaped base member with a side opening through which may be inserted a fold of the sheet material to be secured, and innerlock and gripping bar members insertable into the base member through its side opening to assembled positions within the fold of sheet material within the base member wherein the sheet material is gripped between the base member and the innerlock and gripping bar members and the innerlock member recesses expulsion of the gripping bar member from the base member by tension in the sheet material being gripped. According to an important feature of the invention, the innerlock member has a lip which pojects externally of the base member through its side opening and the innerlock member is laterally flexible by finger pressure on the lip to facilitate insertion of the innerlock member into and removal of the innerlock member from the base member. The lip also shields the sheet material against being ruptured by the gripping bar member during its insertion into and removal from the base member.

Inventors:

John L. Conley - Chino CA

International Classification:

A44B 2100

US Classification:

24462

Abstract:

A sheet gripping assembly for gripping either single ply or double ply thin pliable sheet material such as plastic film. The gripping assembly has a mating channel to be secured to a support with the sheet material spanning the open channel side, and a channel-shaped cap which snaps over the base channel to grip the sheet material between the channel and cap in such a way that edgewise tension in the sheet material tending to separate the cap from the base channel urges their sheet gripping edges into more firm sheet gripping relation, thereby to more firmly grip the sheet material. The primary application of the invention is securing plastic film to an open frame structure to form a greenhouse enclosure.

US Classification:

52 14

Abstract:

A roof structure having a frame including lower elongate frame members arranged in spaced parallel relation and supporting upper elongate frame members arranged in spaced parallel relation along and extending transverse to the lower members, a roof supported on the upper members, and a condensate collection system for collecting and disposing of condensate running along the underside of the roof including upwardly opening condensate collection channels extending along the upper frame members disposed in condensate collecting relation to the underside of the roof, upwardly opening condensate drainage channels extending along the lower frame members, and means which both secure the frame members to one another at their intersections and conduct condensate from the collection channels to the drainage channels.

Appl. No.:

6/605295

Inventors:

John L. Conley - Chino CA

International Classification:

E04B 174

US Classification:

52521

Abstract:

A captive nut plate for engagement by a screw useful when attaching corrugated composite or plastic sheets together includes a semi-cylindrical body shaped to match the curvature of a corrugated sheet. A pair of upstanding irregular pentagon-shaped piercing prongs are centrally positioned along curved edges of the body and are aligned with a central hole therethrough, for receiving the screw. The captive nut plate is installed by positioning it in a convex pocket on a semi-cylindrical tool in proper alignment with a concave edge corrugation of a first sheet. A soft mallet is then used to drive the corrugated material down onto the nut plate so that the upstanding prongs pierce through the sheet. The irregular pentagon-shape of the prongs assures that the prongs extend through the sheet beyond their widest portion. The prongs are then peened over to provide a permanent installation on the first sheet.
