Abstract: The apparatus is a cooling device for an integrated circuit chip which includes a heat conductive pad for contact with the top surface of the chip and for attachment to a heat pipe to dispose of the heat. One surface of the pad is flat and contacts the circuit chip while the opposite surface of the pad is attached to a simple cylindrical heat pipe. The pad includes extensions from its sides to which a holding fixture applies force so that the pad is held tightly against the chip. The holding fixture is held on the mounting board by screws while the top of the pad which is attached to the heat pipe protrudes through a hole in the holding fixture. A finned heat exchanger is attached to an end of the heat pipe remote from the conductive pad.

Abstract: A heat pipe cooling plate in which one or more heat pipes sandwiched between cover plates is an expandable heat pipe made with thin flexible walls forming the heat pipe casing. One advantage of such an expandable heat pipe within the cooling plate structure is that the heat pipe need not be bonded to the outer casing. Instead, the heat pipe balloons out when the vapor pressure increases upon heating, and the flexible heat pipe casing moves into intimate contact with the boundary surfaces of the cooling plate.

Abstract: A sprinkler cover is provided including a ceiling member and a pair of identical bracket members which are soldered to the ceiling member for thermal release. Each of the bracket members includes one or more upright arms. Each arm includes one or more cut tabs which constitute a separate member to engage with a deflector on a conventional fixed frame or drop-type pendent or ceiling sprinkler or with an arm supporting such deflector from the sprinkler body. The tabs are spaced at various heights from the base of the ceiling member to permit the cover to be mounted at adjustable heights on the deflector or the arms of the sprinkler. Frame-type sprinklers may be modified by the provision of one or more complementary engagement structures on one or both arms to engage one or a plurality of the bracket tabs.

Abstract: A flat cooling plate which is assembled with individual heat pipes which are annealed, flattened tubes with sintered wicks formed within them. The completely constructed and pre-tested heat pipes are set into slots in a spacer plate which is sandwiched between two unslotted flat sheets. For assembly, bonding material is placed between the slotted plate and unslotted sheets, and the assembly is heated to the bonding material working temperature while compressed in a press in order to prevent damage from excessive internal heat pipe pressure.

Abstract: A glassware package formed from a foldable blank has a top wall, a bottom wall, a pair of end walls, and an open front and back. The top and bottom walls include means for retaining a plurality of glassware items therein. Each end wall includes a flat end wall panel and a pair of support panels extending inwardly therefrom. The support panels are joined to each other at a location spaced inwardly from the end wall panel and are supported off the end wall panel. The end wall panel and support panels together form a beam-type end wall which abuts the top and bottom walls and resists relative movement of the top wall toward the bottom wall. When the blank is printed on one surface only and folded so that the printed surface forms the outer surfaces of the package, the visible sides of the support panels, and thus the insides of the end walls, are formed from the printed surface of the blank, thereby allowing the insides of the end walls to have printed matter thereon.

Abstract: A display package for an article such as a nailpolish bottle is formed from a single sheet of material which is folded into the package. The package includes an article retaining portion and a display portion for containing display material. The article retaining portion includes a three layer bottom portion, an angle panel joined to one end of the bottom portion, and an upright panel joined to the opposite end of the bottom portion. The angle panel and upright panel are foldably joined at their other ends. The angle panel includes an opening dimensioned to allow part of the article to be visible for display purposes while at the same time to prevent the article from being removed through the opening. The display portion of the package comprises a single layer back panel which extends upwardly from the article retaining portion of the package. The display portion is a single thickness of material, while the package back is of a double thickness on the lower part of the package.

Abstract: An apparatus advances and registers web material relative to a cutting mechanism. The cutting mechanism cuts the web material transverse to the direction of material advance. The apparatus comprises a guide for guiding the web material to the cutting mechanism. A rotating cylinder is spaced from the cutting mechanism and adjacent the guide. Projecting elements are carried on the rotating cylinder and spaced circumferentially on the rotating cylinder a distance substantially equal to the distance between cut lines in the web material. The projecting elements have a surface portion which engages at least a portion of the web material adjacent the cut line and forces a portion of the web material out of the plane of the web material. The projecting elements further have a surface portion for engaging the web material and pushing the web material through the guide and to the cutting mechanism.

Abstract: An improved receptacle includes a cover which is connected with a rear panel of the receptacle along a fold line to enable the cover to be pivoted between open and closed positions. Prior to opening of the receptacle, a front section of the cover is firmly held in juxtaposition with a front panel of the receptacle so that the cover cannot be partially raised under the influence of forces applied to the receptacle during handling. When the cover is firmly pulled open, a rip out section is torn from the front panel to form an opening which extends downwardly from an upper edge of the front panel. The rip out section is secured to the inside of the front section of the cover by adhesive. When the cover is closed, indentations formed in the rip out section are engaged by projections formed in the opening in the front panel to hold the cover closed.
