Abstract: An extendable table has a legged base defining a horizontal support surface extending in longitudinal and transverse directions and having a pair of outer transversely extending edges, a first table panel resting on the support surface and having a transversely extending inner edge intermediate and generally parallel to the outer edges, and a second table panel restable on the support surface, having a transversely extending inner edge buttable with the inner edge of the first panel, and formed with a pair of transversely open and longitudinally extending grooves. Respective rollers on the base underneath the second panel define a transversely extending first pivot axis, and extend transversely into guiding engagement with the grooves. Thus the second panel can slide longitudinally relative to the base on the rollers and can be pivoted on the rollers about the first pivot axis.

Abstract: A structural element, such as a section of a duckboard (e.g. a landing mat) to be removably fastened to a similar section, has one or more edges provided with male coupling formations adapted to be converted into complementary female formations by breaking off a projecting part thereof. The projecting part is generally T-shaped, with its frangible stem rising from the bottom of a preferably dovetail-shaped recess. Such an element can therefore be readily joined to another element having a mortise complementary to the head of the T or a tenon complementary to the recess.

Abstract: An article of furniture having a seat of a generally constant orientation but a back which can be tilted at various angles has a generally X-shaped relationship of the seat and back and, on each side a pair of horizontally spaced pins, affixed to the seat, one of which rides on the upper surface of a cooperating member of the back while the other can be selectively fitted into notches of a rack structure on the lower edge of the respective member. The upper edge or surface of these members have a cam configuration and the distance separating this edge from the bottoms of each of the respective notches is progressively increased downwardly along the rack so that the seat inclination is substantially constant for all positions in which the pins engage the notches.

Abstract: A method of moulding containers consisting of two plastic materials compatible with and sealable to each other, of differing nature and/or color, wherein the material is injected into a space provided between the walls of a mould and a counter-mould, and comprising defining within said space by means of removable separators a first and a second sub-space; injecting into said first sub-space a first one of said materials to fill it fully, injecting into the second sub-space the second material, removing said separators and continuing the injection under pressure of said second material until local interpenetration thereof.

Abstract: A device for holding a mouth-rinsing glass, toothbrushes and a tube of dentifrice comprises a molded synthetic resin body provided with two upwardly open mutually adjacent receptacles, one of which is dimensioned to receive a glass or cup while the other receives a tubular insert provided with at least two laterally extending ribs subdividing the second receptacle into a plurality of compartments each of which can receive the handle of a toothbrush. A tube of dentifrice can be inserted into the insert which is laterally open in the direction of the first receptacle to afford access to the finger of a user so as to enable him to remove the tube of dentifrice from the insert even when the tube has been shortened in use.

Abstract: A bathroom wall fixture has a mirror whose lower edge is secured in a pair of like supports each having a seat engaging and supporting the mirror. These supports each have an upper part and a lower part and together form the seat for the mirror and are formed with respective holding formations between which a horizontally extending bar may be clamped by screws vertically engageable between the upper and lower parts of these supports. Accessories such as shelves or the like can be fitted over the bar and positioned anywhere therealong, and this bar can project to either side of the supports for use as a towel rack.

Abstract: This elastic composite assembly intended especially for upholstering or lining instrument panels or inner walls of passenger compartments of motor vehicles comprises at least one rigid support, a cellular padding and a covering plastic sheet, the sheet being formed integrally with a great number of studs on its inner face so as to constitute an equal number of anchoring points for the sheet in said padding, the padding consisting preferably of polyurethane and the rigid support of metal or molded plastic.
