Abstract: This efficient checking account record keeping and check disposal system, including a method of producing the negotiable instruments for the system, provides checks and check stubs on which information pertinent to the functioning of a checking account may be stored conveniently and efficiently. The invention also is directed to a method of printing the checks and stubs in which the "safety paper" background design may be selectively printed and in which information spaces on the back of said stubs may be printed along with the printing of the background design in one operation.
Abstract: A seal assembly arranged and constructed for an operable or portable wall panel to provide top, bottom or side seals therefor is disclosed. A channel shaped member is mounted in the panel in fixed position, with the open end of the channel extending outwardly to an edge thereof. A seal actuator means is operatively coupled to a spring loaded, shiftable seal assembly which is mounted in the channel and is held in a latched, retracted position. The spring-loaded seal assembly is shifted inwardly of the channel to release a latch means so that the springs are released to permit the seal assembly to shift outwardly of the channel to its extended, self-leveling sealed position.
Abstract: A wall mounted mixing valve having cold and warm water inlet connecting means with at least one of the connecting means being adjustably mounted in a support plate of the mixing valve so that the connecting means can be shifted parallel to the wall and the other connecting means mounted in the support plate forming a pivot bearing thereby providing means to accurately position the mixing valve with respect to the hot and cold water supply lines by adjusting the distance between the connecting means either horizontally or vertically along the wall.
Abstract: This safety device for binding machines, which prevents broken clamp locking mechanism springs from engaging and damaging roughing and trimming saw blades or the clamp carrier cam, provides a collar-like means to be securely mounted on the shaft which supports the lower end of the clamp spring. Anchored to the collar are two protruding pins which project on either side of the clamp spring to provide supports upon which the broken segement of spring may rest rather than dangling into the saw blades or coming into contact with the clamp carrier cam.
Abstract: An envelope assembly is provided which includes an outside envelope housing and an insert assembly which may include a return envelope and/or an information ply or plies. The outside envelope is sealed by a line of interconnection around its periphery. The return envelope is sealed on three peripheral sides and has an open edge for use when removed from the outside envelope. The return envelope can be filled and closed. The information ply is attached to the return envelope and remains attached when the outside envelope is opened and the contents removed. The return envelope and the attached information ply is fixed at its inner and outer edges while housed in the closed outside envelope. In this manner, registration is maintained between the outside envelope, the return envelope and the information ply during formation and while indicia is placed thereon.
