Abstract: A chainsaw case for a chainsaw having a bar is provided. The case includes a base having a lower, a rear, and two end walls, one of the end walls having a slot therein. A front member is pivotally connected to the base and is pivotable from a closed position toward a position in which the front member is substantially coplanar with the lower wall. A top member is pivotally connected to the base about a pivot axis which is substantially parallel to the pivot axis of the front member, and is pivotable from a closed position toward a position in which the top member is substantially coplanar with the rear wall. The case also includes a scabbard for being applied to the bar of the chainsaw, the scabbard having an end portion adapted to be received within the slot when the chainsaw is disposed within the base.

Abstract: A method of enhancing the three-dimensional effect of a plastic part and the label used therewith is disclosed. A label for enhancing the three-dimensional visual effect which comprises a plastic core and/or, an insulating layer, and/or a heat-activated adhesive backing is disclosed. The label is aligned on the surface of a relieved mold. When plastic is forced against the back surface of the label, the label is stretched and forced into the relief along with the plastic. The label adheres to the plastic part by either a heat-activated adhesive backing or the core forms a melts/weld interface with the molded part creating a permanent bond between the label and the molded part.

Abstract: A blow molded carrying chest which includes a frame and a lid is provided. The frame includes a base frame member, and left and right end frame members attached to the base frame member. A top frame member is rigidly attached to the left and right end frame members, and defines only a portion of a top surface of the chest. A lid is hingedly connected to the frame, and defines a remainder of the top surface of the chest not defined by the top frame member. The lid is pivotable from a closed position to an open position to provide access to an interior of the chest.

Abstract: A mold core having an upper surface and at least one hole passing therethrough is provided. An ejector pin is disposed within at least one of the holes in the mold core. The ejector pin includes a bushing having an undercut portion protruding above the upper surface of the mold core for enhancing the adherence of a part molded on the mold core thereto. The bushing also has a hole passing laterally therethrough through which passes an ejector pin shaft. The ejector pin shaft, which includes a head, forces a part adhered to the mold core off of the mold core when so desired. The protruding portion of the bushing is undercut in the form of a back-drafted angle, a circumferential rib, either indented or projecting, and of a partially round or V-shaped cross-section, a series of dimples, or of any other shape which will cause the molded plastic to adhere tightly to it. The head of the ejector pin may be located out beyond bushing and may be dome-shaped, conical, or any of other various shapes.
