Abstract: An appliance garage with a front panel having left and right side frame members supported in spaced relation by a front panel member extending between the top portions of the left and right side frame members; each of the right and left side frame members including an angled projection extending away from the front of the front panel; a tambour door connected at each respective front side thereof to a respective right and left side frame member; left and right side panel members each having a channel extending substantially the length of the front edge portion and to engage the respective projection of the left and right side frame member so that the side panels extend angled from the tambour door.

Abstract: The invention provides an optical disc comprising a circular glass substrate (2) having information-carrying means (3) on one major surface. A protective member (4) of a resin includes a circular flat portion (42) and an annular rim (41) extending perpendicular from the periphery of the flat portion (42). The glass substrate (2) is integrally joined to the protective member (4) such that the information-carrying means (3) of the glass substrate (2) may face the covering portion (42) of the protective member (4). The outer side of the glass substrate (2) is surrounded by the protective member rim (41) to leave a shock absorbing space therebetween. The invention prevents the glass substrate from failure at its corner when impact is applied to the disc.

Abstract: A phase change optical recording medium has on a substrate a recording layer consisting essentially of a Sb base thin film and a reactive thin film. The Sb base thin film is formed by depositing a Sb base material containing at least 95 at % of Sb to a thickness of 70-150 Å. The reactive thin film is formed of a material which forms a phase change recording material when mixed with Sb. The reactive thin film is typically formed of an In—Ag—Te or Ge—Te material. Stable write/read characteristics are accomplished at the first overwriting, initializing operation is eliminated, and rewriting is impossible at the same linear velocity as recording.

Abstract: A device for teaching correct tennis stroke while swinging a tennis racket to hit a tennis ball. The device is comprised of a frame having a pair of spaced apart, triangular shaped side members. An elongated shaft is extended between the side members and has each end attached to a respective side member. A wheel is rotatably mounted on the shaft between the side members and above a ground support surface. Each side member has a configuration to allow the frame to be suspended on a support and above the ground support surface whereby the wheel will be freely rotatable on the shaft when struck by a tennis racket. The wheel is then struck with a glancing blow of a tennis racket during followthrough of the swinging motion of a trainee.

Abstract: The invention relate to a tennis stroke practice device wherein a shaft having a plurality of angular bends intermediate its end is provided with a handle attached to one of its ends and a wheel rotatably attached to its other end.The device has a size whereby a player can grasp the handle in one of his hands and a tennis racquet in his other hand and practice various tennis strokes by positioning the wheel at various positions relative to his body and strike the wheel with the tennis racquet.
