Abstract: A vehicle apparatus comprises an airbag secured to a roof rail of a vehicle and a trim cover. The trim cover has a base member fastened to the roof rail, a flap member, and a living hinge integrally molded between the base and flap members. The flap member rotates on the hinge when the airbag deploys. The flap member also, in a covering position, has a distal edge fastenerlessly clipped to the vehicle.

Abstract: A storage unit for an automotive vehicle storage area, defined by a floor bounded by generally vertically extending vehicle panels, has a base member, a pair of side supports attached at opposing ends of the base members, a pair of side members hingedly attached to the pair of side supports for pivotable movement between the deployed position and a stored position, a track system on a storage area facing surface of the side members, at least one removable shelf cooperative with the track system for alternatively dividing the storage area into generally vertical or horizontal storage compartments, and manually operable lock members attached to an outboard surface of the side supports and side members for releasable engagement with a lock engagement attached to the vehicle panels.

Abstract: A combined shipping and display box is provided which is formed from a one-piece blank of box-board material configured such that, when erected, the box will include bottom, front and rear walls as well as an opposed pair of side walls. The side walls are each formed from respective side panels having a central sub-panel and a pair of divider sub-panels extending in opposite directions from the central sub-panel. These divider sub-panels are inwardly foldable onto their respective central sub-panel along predetermined fold lines so as to not only be positioned in adjacent contact with the central sub-panel, but also to establish protruding interior dividers for the shipping/display box. When erected, therefore, the terminal edges of each respective pair of divider sub-panels will abut one another such that each of the interior dividers is paired with a similar interior divider associated with the opposite side wall.

Abstract: A stackable tray is formed from a single blank of cut and scored corrugated paperboard or the like with a substantially rectangular bottom panel, cut away side walls reinforced with extra panels that extend over the bottom panel and reinforced end panels that are adhered to the end walls. The reinforced end panels include score lines on alternative sides of the blank which automatically produce integral corner posts for the tray when the panels are folded and adhered to the end walls. The reinforcing panels for the end walls also include locking tabs which cooperate with locking slots in the tray bottom panels when a series of trays are stacked one upon the other.

Abstract: Solar energy absorbing means in solar collectors are provided by matts of a fibrous material which by its chemical composition absorbs solar radiation, converting this energy to thermal energy within the fiber itself. The solar energy absorbing properties of the fibers are controlled by the state of oxidation and amounts of various multivalent chemical components contained within the material composing the fibers. The thermal energy thus collected is transferred to a heat transfer medium by either passing the fluid directly through the matt of fibers or through pipes or coils imbedded in the matt.

Abstract: An improved process is described for producing glass in which a glass batch is mixed with a binder, aged, compacted, and compressed into briquettes, which are heated to partially react the contents of the batch in a prereaction stage. Prereacted briquettes are then placed in a fuel-fired furnace and heated at a temperature not above 2,600.degree. F (1,430.degree. C) to refine them into glass.
