  • Patent number: 4982852
    Abstract: A display assembly for sample materials, merchandise or the like, having a shelf sub-assembly with a plurality of shelves defining a storage space and a display space, and display a panel movably supported on the shelf sub-assembly. The display panel includes a surface having compartments for displaying the sample materials, merchandise or the like. Sliding structure is also included for movably supporting the panel on the shelf sub-assembly to selectively cover the work or storage space of the shelf sub-assembly. The sliding structure includes a rail secured to the shelf sub-assembly, and cooperating guide rollers secured to the panel for movable engagement along the rail to selectively access or close the work or storage space of the shelf sub-assembly.

  • Patent number: 4973392
    Abstract: This invention relates to coating compositions which comprise a polymer having at least two hydroxy functional groups and a crosslinking agent having an average of at least two pendent ester groups of the general formula: ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are independently hydrogen, alkyl, substituted alkyl or aryl groups; n is from about 1 to about 5; X is nitrogen, sulfur or phosphorus; and when X is either nitrogen or phosphorus, R.sup.3 is hydrogen, lower alkyl, or an aryl group; R.sup.4 is lower alkyl or an aryl group; and when X is sulfur, R.sup.4 is nothing and R.sup.3 is either hydrogen, lower alkyl or aryl.

  • Patent number: 4938260
    Abstract: An aerosol can containing a liquid propellant is placed on a can support platform (44). An operator actuated fluid control switch (84) provides pneumatic fluid or compressed air to a pneumatic cylinder (46) which continuously biases the aerosol can upward into engagement with a reservoir outlet (66) of a liquid reservoir (60). A sensing switch (52) senses movement of the can support, hence, the aerosol can. An operator actuated start valve (92) enables compressed air to be supplied cyclically (78a, 78b, 96) to a pump pneumatic cylinder (70). A pump (74) driven by the cylinder cycles a preselected number of times as counted by counter (90) to pump a preselected amount of liquid from the reservoir through the reservoir outlet and into the aerosol can.

  • Patent number: 4912154
    Abstract: Air-drying, water-reducible, acid-functional polyurethanes are obtained by reacting:(i) a 2-oxazoline containing adduct having the structure: ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 is the aliphatic fatty acid residue from a fatty acid R.sub.1 COOH; and(ii) a diisocyanate; and(iii) an acid-functional compound which also has two active hydrogen groups, other than acid groups, which are reactive with the diisocyanate.

  • Patent number: 4908230
    Abstract: A process for coating polycarbonate substrates with UV curable coatings comprising cooling the UV curable coating to a temperature of below 40.degree. F., maintaining the dew point of the surrounding atmosphere such that essentially no moisture condenses on the substrate, applying the cooled coating to the substrate and curing the coating to the substrate with ultraviolet radiation.

  • Patent number: 4899886
    Abstract: A package for displaying and dispensing cards, including a front panel and a rear panel forming a recess therebetween in which cards may be placed. The front panel has an opening therein through which the cards may be seen and through which a finger may touch and push on the card. A resilient biasing means is placed in the recess at a position between the cards firmly in the recess. A cam surface is formed along the edge of the recess with the opening so that when the card is pushed toward the opening, a single card engages the cam surface and part of it moves out of the recess so that it may be readily grasped and removed from the recess.
