  • WEATHER RESISTANT POWER OUTLETS
    Publication number: 20140342589
    Abstract: A General Power Outlet (GPO) is provided having a hinged cover and integrally formed side walls forming a moisture drip line. Waterproof and electrically insulated seals protect rocker switches. Located behind pin apertures is a waterproof and electrically insulated elastomeric body having self-closing pin slots. Without inserting a plug, the elastomeric body still seals the apertures completely like a gasket. The pivot structure of the lid bevels and rounds the top of the back of the lid. This allows the top of lid to be level with the wall and the base of the body when it is fully opened at horizontal position. A wall gasket serves as a weatherproof sealer between the GPO and the wall when the invention is installed.

  • Easy Open Apparatus and Method for Multi-Ply Bags
    Publication number: 20140270598
    Abstract: An easy open apparatus for multi-wall bags and a method for making such bags are disclosed. The bag has a closed end and an open end and the rear panel is stepped relative to the upper edge of the front panel. A tear-tape strip is adhered to an inner surface of a flap formed in the outer layer of the front panel and extends partly across the panel with ends of the tear-tape exposed. To open the bag, the user grasps one exposed end of the tear-tape and pulls it outwardly away from the bag, thereby tearing the outer paper layer across the flap to form a “pocket” or “handle” that the user may grasp to tear the bag open.
