Abstract: A cabinet in which the closure or door thereof is rendered less vulnerable to unauthorized tampering which seeks to bypass the lock thereof as a result of the door being latched behind an edge of the cabinet front opening. Thus, opening of the door contemplates a compound movement, i.e. an initial unlatching sliding movement, and then the usual pivotal traverse from its closed into its open position. As a significant improvement, the construction of the within cabinet effectively masks the presence of the structural features which contribute to the door compound movement, whereas this is not the case with prior art cabinet doors and, as a result, such omission in an obvious way, detracts from the effectiveness of the security intended to be gained by the compound door movement.

Abstract: An assemblable and disassemblable, convertible sofa characterized by the concealment and, therefore, the visual absence of fasteners after the sofa has been assembled. Where two parts are to be joined, a metallic insert having internal and external threads is inserted into one of the parts to be joined. A screw passes through the other part to be joined and matingly engages the internal threads of the insert. In the assembled condition of the sofa, the arm rests are secured to a base frame by means of fasteners that extend in an outward direction from an internal portion of the base assembly of the sofa. The back wall of the sofa is similarly assembled. A sliding board is mounted on the top wall of the base assembly and is movable between the opened and closed positions of the sofa.

Abstract: An improved dampening roller produced by grinding a thermoplastic cylinder under conditions causing strands of the thermoplastic material to be abraded away from the surface and redeposited onto the still soft surface of the thermoplastic cylinder and to bond thereto. The particles are deposited at an angle, producing channels which permit edge removal of excess dampening solution, preventing liquid buildup at the center of the roller.

Abstract: In apparatus for spraying heat responsive materials, a serpentine path is provided so that a flow of compressed air or an inert gas first traverses the inside surface of the housing in order to maintain the outside surface of the apparatus in a relatively cool condition. The compressed air or inert gas continues to flow along its serpentine path, being gradually heated, and then is centrally discharged together with the material to be sprayed which may, for example, be a powder in the form of a pure resin or a mixture. In order to prevent "powder balling" or "spitting" of the resin as it is discharged, baffle means are provided surrounding the nozzle so that the heated compressed air or inert gas does not come into contact with the resin until it is in a mixing chamber that is downstream of and away from the nozzle.

Abstract: A convenience device for a motorcycle helmet formed of pivotally interconnected flexible structural elements or members which unfold from a compact storage condition into encircling relation about the helmet, to thereby bound a compartment in which the helmet can be safely stored during non-use, and which can be pad-locked or otherwise attached to the parked motorcycle.

Abstract: A process for the electrolysis of heavy water which results in the production of high purity deuterium without periodic replenishment of the electrolyte with additional deuterated compounds is defined. Electrolysis is effected through the use of an inexpensive cation-action permselective membrane which is essentially a solid polymer electrolyte and which is capable of automatically separating the evolved deuterium and oxygen gas. This cation-active permselective membrane does not introduce any intrinsic impurities or tritium contamination in the generated deuterium gas, does not require periodic revitalization with deuterated compounds or other chemical compounds, and is characterized by an unusually high electrical efficiency.
