  • Publication number: 20200249756
    Abstract: The present application is directed to a Fingernail Attachable Capacitive Stylus to interact with any number of devices having a capacitive touch screen. More particularly, the Fingernail Attachable Capacitive Stylus device may be constructed of one or more capacitive materials pieces, then attached directly to a natural fingernail or mounted on an artificial fingernail for use in working with a capacitive touch screen such as a computer, smartphone or tablet, when the natural or artificial fingernail hinders contact with the capacitive touch screen thereon. Additionally, when in place mounted on an artificial fingernail or natural fingernail, the Fingernail Attachable Capacitive Stylus enables variable compression of the conductive material and can be adjusted for length and variable compression characteristics, and acts to strengthen long fingernails that often grow weak and subsequently easily break or crack when mounted using a natural or an artificial fingernail.

  • Patent number: 4100787
    Abstract: Forming a corrugated corner piece or a plurality of interconnected integral corrugated corner pieces for forming corrugated, rectangular, expansion joints or bellows by placing a metal blank between a pair of specially constructed hinge plate members. Each hinge plate member comprises a plurality of adjacent elongated plates with the adjacent edges of the plates secured together by tubular hinge elements. The plates pivot together at spaced locations along their lengths, around zig-zag orientated hinge elements that are positioned to lay normal to the side edges of the plate members and interconnect separate parts of the plate members. The blank is placed between the two hinge plates, with the hinge plates being aligned. Aligned pairs of the hinge elements are then held together with the blank sandwiched therebetween.
