Abstract: A method for providing an end-stop for a slider on a resealable thermoplastic bag is provided. The resealable thermoplastic bag includes a profile track having a first side panel and a second side panel. A clip having first and second legs is made to straddle the profile track such that the first leg of the clip being proximate to the first side panel and the second leg of the clip being proximate to the second side panel. One of the legs has an inward-facing protrusion for engaging a corresponding recess on the panel proximate thereto, such that the clip resists vertical motion on the profile track. The other of the legs of the clip is sealed to the panel proximate thereto.

Abstract: A zipper profile for a fastener assembly is provided. The profile includes a male element and a female element. The female element has a pair of jaws that are movable with respect to one another about a common fulcrum region, and a pair of arms each of which are coupled to a corresponding one of the pair of jaws at the fulcrum region. Each of the arms has an end opposite from the fulcrum region that is shaped for engagement with a slider, and the jaws have an open position and a closed position. The arms are disposed to cause movement of the jaws between the closed position and the open position when the arms experience displacement about the fulcrum region. Displacement about the fulcrum region may be effectuated by motion of a slider relative to the arms. The male element is captured by the female element when the jaws are in the closed position and released when the jaws are in the open position.

Abstract: A window assembly has a sash vertically movable within a window jamb and positioned in the jamb by elongated side guide tubes enclosing counter balance means and resiliently biased partially into engagement with side ploughs of said sash, with the guide tubes extending outwardly from channels provided in opposed side jamb members. The guide tubes prevent lateral displacement of the sash as the sash is positioned within and moves from a window open to a window closed position within the plane of the jamb. The guide tubes can be reciprocally and resiliently compressed into the channels to release the ploughs and sash whereby the sash can be removed from the window construction.

Abstract: This peripheral member is for use in a frame holding one or more window panes and in a framework for attachment along the inside of a window opening in a building structure. It has a hollow rectangular main body and a narrower rectangular extension. The main body and the extension form a right-angled inside corner where their adjoining sides present intersecting longitudinal recesses. These sides of the main body and the extension have longitudinal grooves located away from the inside corner. The remaining faces of the main body and the extension are flat, including a face on the extension that is a co-planar continuation of a corresponding face on the main body.

Abstract: This is a window assembly with one sliding window, one fixed window and a rectangular framework made up of extruded framework members with the same cross-sectional profile except for small segments that are removed in the framework members along which the sliding windows slide. Three of these framework members support the fixed window pane along three edges. The sliding window has extruded peripheral members along its edges which have the same cross-sectional profile as one another except where small segments are removed in two of them to slidably interfit with the two framework members along which the sliding window slides. An additional peripheral member of this cross-section is part of the framework and supports the fixed window along its remaining edge. Springs inside the two framework members along which the sliding windows slide urge the sliding window to an open position.

Abstract: A sturdy, low profile window having a window frame and at least one sash. The window frame includes a welded master frame and window frame inserts. The window frame inserts in cooperation with the master frame form the window frame. The sash of the low profile window includes a glazing, master sash, and sash inserts. The sash inserts in cooperation with the master sash form the sash and retain the glazing within the sash. The sash of the present invention is confined within the window frame to produce the low profile window.

Abstract: In a window frame assembly having hollow frame members, a joint interconnecting the ends of two adjacent frame members is described. The joint includes a rabbeted miter cut and an anti rack and twist component. These features act synergistically to align and firmly joint adjacent frame members.

Abstract: A wall covering composed of a base sheet of non-woven polyester material saturated to give it strength, fire retardancy, and opacity and further provides the material with a density that prevents the coating applied to the back from seaping through the sheet. The base sheet is coated on the back to give it greater opacity and make it fungus and mildew resistant. The back coating may also control the thickness as well as the softness or firmness of the sheet. The front surface of the sheet is then transfer printed with the particular design desired.

Abstract: Various meats including beef, pork and poultry are smoked under low temperature smoking conditions in which the temperature of the meat reaches no higher than approximately 100.degree. F., following which the meats are coarse or fine ground, mixed with various additives and binders, and then processed into sausage by utilizing normal procedures.

Abstract: Calcium phospho-caseinates produced by the addition of 1.0 to 3.0% of one of the edible di- or tri-basic salts of phosphoric acid, or any of the complex dehydration products of these salts, to a slurry of casein and water, and neutralization with calcium hydroxide.

Abstract: A simulated bacon is made of two separate components, one a mixture of various pork and bacon components and added ingredients having appearance, flavor and texture properties somewhat like the lean meat in bacon, and the other being a mixture of high-fat pork items and added ingredients having appearance, flavor and texture properties somewhat like the fat in bacon. The two components are fed together into molds, the fat-like component serving as a binder for the meat-like component. Then follows cooking, smoking, tempering and cooling. The end product appears and tastes somewhat like bacon and can be sliced and packaged like bacon.

Abstract: A tracer compound, tin, is added to sodium caseinate in such a way as to be uniformly distributed throughout, and an amount of the tin is traced into a comminuted meat product to precisely determine the amount of sodium caseinate which has been added to the meat product.
