  • Patent number: 9805535
    Abstract: A coin holder device 12 that includes a transparent front sheet 20 that contains receptacles 18 and first and second major surfaces 28 and 30. The receptacles 18 are recessed into the sheet 20 to project out from the second major surface 30. A backer sheet 22 has first and second major surfaces 32 and 34 and openings 36 that extend through the sheet 22. The openings 36 correspond in location to the receptacles 18 in the front sheet 20. The backer sheet 22 is removeably positioned over the receptacles 18, enabling the second major surface 30 to be juxtapositioned against the first major surface 32. The first major surface 32 has coin indicia 38 proximate the openings 36 indicative of the coin to be placed in the respective receptacle 18. The coin holding device is beneficial in that it allows custom-tailored coin holders to be supplied easily over the internet.

  • Patent number: 8756884
    Abstract: A method is provided for coupling individual fenestration units together and sealing the gaps between them so as to form a sealed compound fenestration unit. The individual fenestration units include mating channels and tabs, or other connectors, that are attached to outside frame surfaces of the individual fenestration units. When the connectors are coupled together, they attach the frames of the individual fenestration units securely together in such a way that gaps are formed between the units along their joined frame surfaces. The gaps are sealed by resilient sealing strips that are configured to be inserted into the gaps, and that are formed with seals that bear against the walls of the gaps to form impervious moisture seals.

  • Publication number: 20080257528
    Abstract: A machine having a heat exchanger system includes a heat exchanger guard including first and second sidewalls. The first sidewall is adjacent a core of the heat exchanger system. A first slot adapter is positioned over an opening formed in the first sidewall. The first slot adapter is vertically oriented and includes a first slot opening for receiving a compressed air cleaning wand therethrough. A cover is fixedly attached to the first slot adapter and is movable between an open position and a closed position.
