Abstract: A drawer-receiving chest or cabinet stored and shipped as a unit in collapsed folded-flat form and erectible by unfolding to a sturdy structure having several openings for slidably-receiving and supporting drawers, as a chest of drawers, cabinet or the like, and having a one-piece back panel to which is hingedly fastened all of the structural elements to form a unitary structure, including a forward framework defining drawer openings and drawer-supporting shelves hingedly connected to the back panel; and side and top panels respectively hingedly connected to the vertical edges of the back panel and the top panel hingedly connected both to the top edge of the back panel and to the forward framework, thus allowing the sides and top to be unfoldable forward from the back panel to define sides and top encasing said framework, with the side elements carrying foldable flaps on the forward edge of each side and folding horizontally inward about a vertical frame element to firmly secure the total structure into an er

Abstract: Straight-chain paraffins are nondestructively and selectively oxidized to introduce oxy and oxo functions predominantly at the 2 position by an oxidizing system comprising a compound of group II - VI metals in higher valent form and an acidic activator of dissociation constant greater than 5.10.sup.-.sup.3 or boron trifluoride, with or without molecular oxygen and with or without a solvent.

Abstract: The invention disclosed is for a method and apparatus for blow molding foam walled plastic using a quadrisectional mold. A parison of foamed plastic may be blow molded to assume the contour of the closed mold, after which the molded shape is severed into two portions and ejected. Desirably, cellular plastic is blow molded to form hot drink cups.

Abstract: Process of liquid phase oxidation of the alpha carbon atom of alkylbenzenes by a manganic or cobaltic salt and an acid activator with or without an oxidation-resistant solvent either in an inert atmosphere to produce lower oxidation products of the alpha carbon atom such as alcohols or their esters; or, in the presence of molecular oxygen, to produce higher oxidation products such as aromatic aldehydes, ketones or carboxyl acids.

Abstract: A safety clamping device for use by climbers mounted in an elongated slot in a support rail, alternately to slide or grip the sides of the slot in clamping engagement. The clamping means preferably comprises opposed spaced apart wedges carried by a trigger arm above and below the slot in normal sliding movement with the climber, the wedges being actuated into clamping engagement, with the walls of the slot by quick angular pull of the trigger arm by the climber.
