Abstract: A display article (10) has a single indicia plate (11) having indicia formed by cut-outs (12) in the indicia plate (11) and one or more plates (13, 14) attached to the indicia plate (11) which are opaque, transparent or translucent.

Abstract: A monument assembly (10) formed from: (i) a headstone component (12); (ii) a rail assembly (14) attached to the headstone component (12); and (iii) an inlay panel (16, 16A) supported by and surrounded by the rail assembly (14A) surrounds and open space.

Abstract: A periscope is mounted through the roof and into a room within a building, such as a house or the like, whereby people in the building can view scenes outside without leaving the building. The periscope extends from a room in the building, such as a living room of a house, upwardly through any overhead ceilings and floors and through the roof. Further, the periscope extends above the topmost roofline for increased distance viewing or viewing over obstacles. Using an eyepiece at the bottom of the periscope, a user can then see outside areas, including distant areas, while remaining in the comfort of his or her house. The building can be any permanent dwelling structure, such as a house, apartment, single story building, multistory building, condominium, cottage, cabin, beach house or the like, in a residential or commercial setting. Also, the periscope is vertically movable to raise the viewing height and rotatably mounted for full circle viewing.

Abstract: A method of, and apparatus, for cutting compressed or uncompressed uncured fibre cement sheet including the steps of: (a) supporting an untrimmed fibre cement sheet (18) on a conveyor belt (19, 27, 43) formed from compressible or resilient material such as rubber in contact with a rigid support surface (28, 44) whereby the fibre cement sheet (18) is stationary on the belt (19,27,43); (b) making two or more longitudinal cuts (35, 37) by cutting wheels (39) and two or more transverse cuts (34,36) by cutting press (33) to the untrimmed sheet so as to trim at least four edges of the sheet, wherein each of said cuts are made in a vertical plane through the sheet and result in deformation of the compressible or resilient material of the conveyor belt (19, 27, 43) which contacts the rigid support surface as a result of each cut; and (c) removing the trimmed sheet (18A) from die conveyor belt.
