Abstract: A knockdown advertising and display sign comprising a single setscrew for retaining a lockup cap which "buttons-up" the final assembly of the sign for simplifying set-ups and change of display panels and lowering manufacturing costs and for improving stability of the sign in the field by reducing its sensitivity to looseness of fit.
Abstract: A smoke detector working on the principal of interference of light between an L.E.D. source and a phototransistor receiver detects differences in smoke emission regardless of the color of the smoke. A pulsating power supply automatically turns the power to the unit on and off every thirty seconds so that the life of the unit is extended and energy is conserved. When a hazardous smoke condition exists, the unit produces rapidly interrupted alarm signals. A warning signal which is different than the alarm signal draws attention to an optoelectronic system malfunction or a power supply voltage drop below a preset level.
Abstract: A novel set of basic printing inks for producing improved color tones in multicolor printing comprising four individual inks of golden-yellow, carmin, violet, and turquoise hues, respectively, and having predetermined spectral intervals between their maximum density wavelengths, the maximum density of each of the intermediate pair of colors being substantially equidistant from the middle of the visible color spectrum.
Abstract: A shade producing system including a powered track having a novel power driven motor for drawing a shade cloth between a gathered and extended position. The system may include suspension tracks for holding th cloth spread. Splicing means for the powered and suspension tracks are provided for achieving the desired length of extension of the cloth. A novel suspension strip structure is provided on the shade panel for suspending the shade cloth from the tracks.
Abstract: A device for attachment to a ladder which enables the upper end of a ladder to be spaced from the wall of the building, span windows and/or rest on a slant roof and thus span the gutters. The device also acts as a stabilizer bar or tube to prevent slippage of the ladder laterally, gives greater stabilization to the ladder, and almost automatically positions the ladder at the correct angle of inclination away from the lower wall of a building, and generally promotes a greater margin of safety. Also, the device is readily separable after use for small compact storage.
Abstract: Stable, essentially non-toxic, clear cleaning solutions for a variety of metals, especially stainless steel, are disclosed characterized by exhibiting a combination of solvent actions to dissolve both water-soluble and water-insoluble dirt accumulations and leave the metal surfaces in a bright, polished and clean condition with the use of a wiping action. Basically the compositions contain a low molecular weight chlorinated hydrocarbon solvent and a sufficient amount of an amine soap of a long-chain fatty acid to form a clear aqueous solution with or without certain co-solvents such as butoxyethanol, soluble in both the aqueous and non-aqueous phases, and selected optical brighteners and streak-reducing agents. An illustrative composition contains about 9% to 12% by weight of the chlorinated solvent, 3% to 6% by weight of the fatty acid, 3% to 5% by weight of the amine, 25% to 30% by weight of a water-soluble alkyl glycol ether with the balance being water. Other embodiments are disclosed.
Abstract: A soffit lighting fixture removably secured above and associated with a wall cabinet generally referred to as a medicine cabinet which is fixed above the washbasin with or without the vanity base. The lighting fixture supplies light above and around the foregoing basin.
Abstract: A new and distinct cultivar of chrysanthemum characterized by its single flower form, the clear yellow of its ray florets which do not bronze when finished cool, and flowers which are 3 to 31/2 inches in diameter when grown as a spray pot plant. This plant is also distinguished by its vigorous and upright pot habit which is adaptable to cut flower production and by its abundant, deeply serrated dark green foliage.
Abstract: A new variety of chrysanthemum plant originated as a sport of the cultivar No. 2 Yellow Albatross and distinguished from its parent by its lighter flower color, larger flower size and more incurved flower form, longer form retention, and increased stem diameter and length.
Abstract: A device for rupturing a pressurized cylinder containing a fire extinguishing product wherein when the temperature is high enough to melt the fusible link, it will cause a spring-loaded punch to forcibly propel the punch downwardly to rupture a rupturable disk in the cylinder to allow the contents to be ejected therefrom.
Abstract: A new variety of Dutch iris plant suitable for greenhouse culture or outdoors when the temperature and light conditions are suitable and proper for the commercial production of cut flowers, particularly distinguished by its very large blossom, unusual orange-yellow center blotch of its falls and terminating in a light yellow blotch, and its white standards. This plant is also characterized by its extremely large and robust stalk which carries its flower much better than normal varieties, the flower lasting longer than normal varieties, blooms earlier, and the buds are very tight whereby this variety may be shipped successfully over longer distances.
Abstract: A new and distinct variety of African violet plant for greenhouse culture and potted plant production distinguished by the purple violet coloration of its abundant flowers which are borne on strong upright peduncles and held well above a horizontally spreading abundance of variegated dark green leaves of a generally orbicular shape, the flower petals being of both light and dark coloring in each blossom and most having a fine white marginal edging, and the foliage having an attractive quilted velutinous texture which enhances the appearance of the flower mass.
Abstract: A new variety of kalanchoe plant most suitable for greenhouse culture as a pot plant and capable of year around flowering under photoperiod control conditions, characterized by its intense red florets which range from about 10 to 12 mm. in diameter, a uniform 10-week flowering response, a medium plant height with medium sized, glossy foliage, and an extended blooming period due to several weeks of continuous flower bud development.
Abstract: A new variety of kalanchoe plant intended for greenhouse culture as a pot plant and suitable for year around flowering with photoperiod control, characterized by the intense rose pink color of its florets which range from 10 to 12 mm. in diameter, a uniform 10-week flowering response, a medium plant height and an extended blooming period due to several weeks of continuous flower bud development.
Abstract: A kalanchoe cultivar for greenhouse culture as a potted plant and suitable for year around flowering with photoperiod control, characterized by its intense orange colored florets of medium size which exhibit minimal fading upon aging and which bloom over an extended period due to several weeks of continuous flower bud development. This cultivar is a plant of medium height with an abundance of relatively large glossy foliage at its base, a uniform 10-week response, and a strong resistance to powdery mildew.
