Abstract: A modular apparatus for cooling and sizing extruded plastic profiles includes a base plate and a first side plate which are permanently connected together and perpendicular to each other so as form a pair of reference planes. One or two groups of vacuum sizer die elements having a passageway through which an extruded plastic profile will be advanced forwardly in a longitudinal direction from an extrusion die, are placed onto the reference planes. Each of the vacuum sizer die elements has reference surfaces which mate to the reference planes; and the group or groups of vacuum sizer die elements are secured in place in the apparatus with one or two further side plates and a top plate. Vacuum is provided to the vacuum sizer die elements through vacuum connections arranged in the base plate, and cooling is provided in a cooling water passageway formed generally in the side plate.

Abstract: An adjustable planter box hanger for hanging a planter box at a selected angular position from a support structure having front and rear faces adjoined by a top brim portion comprises left and right hanging support brackets, each having a support structure engaging top portion for engaging the top brim portion of a support structure, and terminating in a downwardly turned lip portion for engaging the rear face of a support structure. Each of the left and right hanging support brackets also has a main downwardly depending leg having top and bottom ends and depending from the support structure engaging top portion, and an outwardly projecting support arm for receiving a planter box thereon. The outwardly projecting support arm terminates in an upwardly turned lip portion.

Abstract: An apparatus for cleaning the welded corners of an assembled window frame is provided. The apparatus has a work surface and a clamping device on the work surface for holding an assembled work piece on the work surface. A cutting tool is provided on the work surface for removing excess weld material from the work piece corner in a specific profile, the cutting tool moveable in an arcuate path around the apex of the corner of the assembled window frame whereby excess material is removed from the corner in a single pass of the cutting tool.
