Abstract: A suit hanger is formed with an upper portion formed as a planar frame having a horizontally disposed lower bar over which a pair of trousers can be positioned and a lower portion depending from said lower bar substantially in the plane of said frame and having shoulder supports over which a jacket or coat can be draped. A section of the planar frame is at least in part separable from the remainder of the frame to provide a temporary opening in said frame for the lateral insertion of said trousers on the lower bar. The section is pivotally attached to the frame so as to be replaceable to support the frame.

Abstract: A window pane is hung along one edge of a window frame by a flexure mechanism arranged to permit pivotal movement of the pane about an axis oriented along the corresponding edge of the frame. An over centered handle latch is mounted on the lower edge of the frame and is operable to move the window pane between an open and closed position. A resilient hinge connects the handle latch directly to the pane so as to enable the handle latch and pane to have relative elastic movement during movement into and also in both the closed and open condition.

Abstract: A mastectomy garment includes an underbra, a breast prosthesis, and an outerbra. The underbra is of lightweight garment foundation material having a cup for the normal breast and a flat band portion for the removed breast, enabling a firm, flat-fitting garment over the remaining chest surface of the removed breast. The prosthesis or false breast itself is removably adhered to the outer surface of the flat, binding portion. The outerbra such as a conventional off-the-shelf brassiere is placed over the underbra and the adhering prosthesis, the underbra and outerbra are then secured together to prevent relative movement between them.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for simultaneously cutting a plurality of picture frame mats with picture display windows in a single operative procedure by initially arranging the mats in a reverse and inverted order and cutting them with an apparatus mounting a plurality of cutters, one for each mat, at an angle to the planes of the mats and thereafter separating and rearranging the mats to frame the picture in their desired picture frame array.

Abstract: An improved garment-engaging grip of a plastic ship-on hanger in which a cooperating finger and wall engage an interposed garment therebetween, and the finger is movable into a clearance provided behind it to allow for the bulk of the garment, to thereby relieve, by virtue of this adjustment in position of the finger, any stress in the plastic at the juncture of the finger connection to the hanger and, thus, the tendency of rupture at said juncture.

Abstract: The free ends of two tubular tissue members to be anastomosed are each pulled over the outside of a respective ring joined by an integral frame which holds the rings rigidly a short distance apart and sewn to the respective rings and to each other across the gap formed by the frame. When the tissue members and apparatus have been completely sewn about their circumference, the frame is cut away, and the sutures are pulled taut so that the edges of the tubular tissue members are inverted and drawn into apposition between the rings. The adjacent suture ends are then tied together with proper tension to complete the anastomosis.

Abstract: An improved garment-engaging grip of a plastic ship-on-hanger in which a cooperating finger and wall engage an interposed garment therebetween, and the finger is movable into a clearance provided behind it to allow for the bulk of the garment, to thereby relieve, by virtue of this adjustment in position of the finger, any stress in the plastic at the juncture of the finger connection to the hanger and, thus, the tendency to rupture at said juncture. The finger additionally has a gripping projection in the form of a bump, which significantly increases the gripping pressure on the garment.

Abstract: A hanging planter having a pot and separate stringers for suspension. The pot is formed with at least a pair of loops integral with its lips into which the stringers are held for transportation, display, and storage.

Abstract: According to the present invention, a dry cleaning washer and a dryer are arranged in a closed cycle system so that the effluent solvent vapor from the washer is delivered to an accumulator chamber generally simultaneously with the delivery from the dryer of effluent hot air. The hot air super heats the solvent vapor increasing its volitization and the heated and highly volatile solvent vapors are then passed to a condenser which includes the feed coils for supplying clean air to the dryer. In passing through the condenser, the super heated solvent vapor, instantly liquifies giving off its heat to the cool air, thus preheating the clean air prior to its entry into the dryer. The liquified solvent is returned to the washer, or to a storage reservoir.

Abstract: A side stroking golf putter in which the shank portion of the shaft is connected with the putter head above one or more oppositely directed putting faces and the putter head is positioned remote from the user by a connection between the shank and the handle portions to provide the user with a completely free and unobstructed view of the putting faces of the putter head during the stroke of the golf putter and to provide the golfer with better control of the golf putter.

Abstract: A hollow transparent mold is provided for the custom formation of a dental shade guide. The mold is provided with an opening into which the dentist inserts raw filling material selected from the material he intends using on the patient. The mold is provided with a handle and after hardening of the raw material forms a dental shade guide.

Abstract: A readily assembled cart for storing and receiving fan-folded computer paper having a frame formed of a lower shelf and a pair of side walls connected to the lower shelf at each of its corners by a removable caster assembly. An upper shelf is removably hooked onto the inner surfaces of the side walls above the lower shelf, and transverse end walls connected to the side walls to secure the side walls against lateral deflection.
