Abstract: A break-in resistant window assembly whose components include a window pane having at least a pair of edges and a corner; a frame boarding the window pane; a sheet of polymeric film overlying the pane, a first adhesive layer fixedly interconnecting the pane and the sheet of polymeric film; and a corner assembly which includes a base portion and a cover portion which are able to be mechanically locked to each other to complete a corner assembly. The base portion includes adhesive pads for bonding both to the corner of the window pane and the corner of the window frame. Trim pieces which abut the base portion are also bonded to the window pane and the window frame by adhesive pads. The cover portion is arranged to extend over the abutting ends of the base portion and the trim pieces and thereby conceal any mismatch between those abutting edges.
Abstract: An accumulation/disposal bin includes a container body with an upper opening. The lid pivots about the forward edge of the opening, allowing a lock to be formed on the rear edge of the lid. Edge mounted wheels may further be located proximate the rear bottom of the container, diagonally across from the hinge. The bin may further include a lifting slot on the rear wall. A handle may be formed proximate the upper opening on the rear the bin. The lid may comprise a downwardly sloped ramp extending from an opening in a horizontal plane to beneath a portion of the lid that at least partially covers this horizontal plane. The ramp and the covering portion of the lid define first and second slots each in a generally vertical plane that may prevent access to the body.
Abstract: An improved eyeglasses construction including molded plastic temple assemblies each having a hinged joint intermediate its ends for limited pivotal movement permitting adjustment of the lens frame about the horizontal axis of the hinged joint. One piece of each temple assembly has a bifurcated end providing a pair of spaced flanges having parallel opposed vertical surfaces, and the other temple piece has a flat tongue-like member projecting from its end and including a generally C-shaped opening adapted to snap over the hinge pin to hingedly connect the two pieces in end-to-end relation. A spring arm on the bifurcated piece projects in overlying relation to a flat surface of the tongue-like member and carries a detent which is urged into engagement with a pattern of ridges and/or grooves on the surface of the tongue-like member to permit adjustment about the horizontal axis of the hinge pin.
Abstract: Angularly adjustable temples are disclosed which can be attached to a pair of eyeglasses. Each temple includes an end which is hinged to the eyeglasses for rotation inwardly along the lens of the glasses. Each temple includes first and second parts having compatible ends that fit together and which are adjustable angularly with respect to each other. One end of the first part includes a shaft disposed between parallel walls and a short pin projecting from one of said walls. The second part includes an end having a jaw member that fits between the parallel walls and is fitted on the shaft. The parallel walls of the first part include a series of serrations thereon which are compatible with a hook-like protrusion on the second part in order to fix the second temple part at an adjusted angle relative to the first temple part.
