  • Publication number: 20230062225
    Abstract: A silicone edge graphic mountable to a window with suction cups is shown. The silicone edge graphic may have a frame where the suction cups are attached to the frame and offset from the frame so that the frame is not touching a mounting surface of the window or the wall of the window when mounted to mitigate damage to the window or wall. When the silicone edge graphic is mounted to the window, the frame may rest on a support surface, such as a window sill or the ground, to provide additional support for the weight of the silicone edge graphic.

  • Publication number: 20210074190
    Abstract: A silicone edge graphic that is magnetically mountable to a wall is disclosed. No mechanical fasteners or adhesives are used to mount the silicone edge graphic to the wall. The back surface of the silicone edge graphic may have a non-marring configuration, so that the silicone edge graphic does not damage the wall. Additionally, a frame of the silicone edge graphic may be flexible enough to allow the user to remove the silicone edge graphic by peeling the silicone edge graphic off of the wall starting from one peripheral section or corner then progressive to the rest of the periphery. The magnets may also be positioned to reduce a force required to lift the section or corner of the silicone edge graphic off of the wall to begin peeling the silicon edge graphic off of the wall.

  • Patent number: 4993237
    Abstract: The structure of the present invention comprises a self-cooling container in which a segregating wall is used to divide the container into a beverage chamber and a cooling chamber, the latter having a reaction chamber mounted therein, which in a preferred embodiment is of an elongated cylindrical shape. The reaction chamber cylinder of the present invention provides an inverted funnel-shaped bottom surface for receiving the flow of beverage from the beverage chamber portion of the container through a feed-through at the bottom of the segregating wall thereof. The funnel leads to a flow tube which is positioned in axial alignment with the cylinder, preferably through the center thereof and defining an inner wall of the reaction chamber. The reaction chamber houses a combination of chemical materials separated by a readily broken sealing device from a selected volume of distilled water, which rfeleased into the chemical constituents, initiates an endothermic reaction which extracts heat from the beverage.

  • Patent number: 4950959
    Abstract: A cassette light retrofit adapted to be received in a housing portion of an existing lighting fixture from which the light tubes and door frame with diffuser have been removed comprises an open cassette enclosure having a door frame and diffuser closing the enclosure; a lightable tubing array in the cassette enclosure; a power converter in the enclosure connected to energize the lightable array; and, said cassette door frame being attachable to the fixture housing portion to replace said fixture door frame with the cassette enclosure being in said housing. The power converter uses 8 windings with isolation to improve the tracking efficiency of the sensing windings for accurate high frequency power application for the load. Also, an A.C. winding permits dimming of the lamp load by filling in chunks of voltage deleted by the dimmer.

  • Patent number: 4940921
    Abstract: A miniature, light weight, high voltage, high frequency, high power output unique ballast and a unique sealable neon lamp in a light weight, light reflective box containing the ballast for use as one of a plurality of ceiling lamps. The ballast includes a transformer with a tuned secondary due to distributed capacitance, as a result of spaced apart first and second halves of the secondary winding, particularly wound in three separate sections of a bobbin fitted on the center leg of the transformer E--E core and tightly coupled to a center tapped primary winding on the center leg of the other section of the E-core. The section of the core are separated by a high dielectric spacer which also gaps the core when the sections are placed together. An asymetrical starting circuit prevents burnout of the alternate conducting FET switching device by insuring that only a selected one FET always starts first, and the unique bobbin and secondary winding prevents breakdown in the secondary high voltage winding.
