Abstract: A hinge for thermoplastic material particularly suitable for loose-leaf binder covers is constructed by embedding an embossed welding die into the thermoplastic material to a depth less than the full height of the embossment so that no vertical lines are produced in the thermoplastic by the longitudinal edges of the die. The resulting surface of the thermoplastic is a hinge containing indentations corresponding to the pattern of the embossed die, which permit the thermoplastic to be folded at the hinge area.

Abstract: An alloy of about 4 to 10% gold, silver, copper, palladium, indium, zinc and boron producing an alloy with a pleasing yellow color. Tarnish resistance, wear resistance and heft are similar to 10 karat gold with a lesser cost due to the low gold content.
Abstract: An alloy of gold, palladium, silver, copper, zinc and a small quantity of boron is provided to produce an alloy having a pleasing yellow color, high tarnish resistance and a hardness suitable for use as a material for rings and similar jewelry.
Abstract: A method of molding finger rings of the type having a hollowed-out interior portion, but whose exterior surfaces are identical to rings without such hollowed-out portion comprising securing a wax, shell ring pattern to the exterior surface of a wax, tubular section to form a wax ring pattern and molding a finger ring from said wax ring pattern via an investment method of casting.
Abstract: An improved geometrical instrument for laying out and proportioning photographs and the like including a pair of angle members disposed in overlapping relationship, a diagonal strut connecting said angle members together for limited movement and means securing said angle members and strut together for selected relative movement between said angle members. The instrument of the present invention also includes an inset edge located at the apex of each of the included angles of the angle members to enable the user to make crop marks accurately reflecting the desired area.
