Abstract: A latch device including a privacy lock control member reciprocatably moveable along a first predetermined path of movement, and a manually operable member for reciprocatably moving said control member in a direction generally opposed to the direction of movement of the manually operable member.Movement is imparted to the control member by a pivoted linkage arm interconnected at opposed ends to the manually operable member and the control member.
Abstract: A latch device including a latch element, latch element moving means for moving the latch element including a transmission arm and two relatively movable cam elements, and means for moving the transmission arm relative to the cam elements to cause selective engagement between the transmission arm and lobes of either or both of said cam elements.
Abstract: Method and apparatus for improving the performance of laminating protective plastic to a document using a machine of the type in which plastic laminating film from a roll is drawn over a guide member surface and between laminating pressure rollers by a film drive means wherein wrinkles that form naturally at the location of the guide member surface are eliminated by locating a vacuum means in the path of the film at or near the guide surface to create a generally uniform drag force across substantially the entire width of the film in opposition to the force drawing the film through the system.
Abstract: An air turbine including a plurality of elongated rotor blades extending from a hub, first and second airfoils interconnecting the blades, and a vane element positioned between the airfoils, said airfoils and vane element being concentrically disposed about the hub.
