Abstract: A device for a front lit illuminated panel for the directional illuminated of a display surface having at least one luminous source emitting a light flux which penetrates into a plate of transparent material and exits after encountering striations whose depth increases as a viewer observing the display moves away from the light source lighting the field of the plate. The individual striations are distributed along lines parallel to the lighted field of the plate, while being spaced from one another on each line. The length of the increased striations along their respective lines increase and the space along the same line, between individual striations, decrease as a viewer observing the display moves away from the light source.

Abstract: A mechanical penile prosthesis is disclosed. The prosthesis includes a sleeve that encapsulates a linear assembly of cups, an actuating means and a cable. The linear assembly of cups allows the prosthesis to be bent from an erect position to a flaccid position. The actuating mechanism includes a biasing member, a poppet with first and second shoulders, one or more sliding rings, and a flexible tine. Bending the prosthesis from its erect position to its flaccid position causes the poppet to move toward the distal end of the prosthesis, allowing the tines to lock behind the second shoulder. To return the prosthesis to its erect state the prosthesis is bent further until the sliding ring separates the tines, allowing the biasing member to force the second shoulder past the tines; the tines snapping back into a position on the proximal side of the first shoulder.

Abstract: A hanger for a flexible wall covering in the form of an elongate flexible strip adapted to be attached to a wall adjacent the ceiling, provided with elastically interengageable jaws normally standing apart to admit an edge of the wall covering and thereafter interengageable to anchor the wall covering suspended therefrom in contact with the wall.

Abstract: Apparatus for either display, or for both display and dispensing, is mounted to shelf tag molding directs customer attention to a featured item in a store as customers approach the area of a shelf on which the item can be found. The apparatus comprises a frame that is pivotally mounted into a bracket assembly which is rigidly secured to the shelf tag molding. The frame holds on either side of its surfaces, promotional material that presents a message to the approaching customers. The apparatus includes biasing springs which position the frame in a steady state location that is normal to the shelf tag molding. Whenever the frame is deflected from its steady state location by, for example, a customer or a shopping cart moving past and striking it, the biasing springs automatically return the frame to its steady state location. This ensures that the advertising message appearing on the promotional materials continually remains in direct view of approaching customers.

Abstract: A frame (10) for releasably framing articles such as pictures, photographs, posters and menus includes a plurality of elongate members (12, 14, 16 18) having mitred ends mated together, and an elastic band (20), the elastic band being located in a continuous channel formed, on assembly of the frame, by the alignment of sub-channels (27) located along the length of each member, and the elastic band being in tension around the frame so as to pull the members together, each sub-channel having an entrance passage leading into it along the whole of its length, the entrance passage allowing the elastic band to be threaded into the channel and preventing the elastic band from being visible after assembly of the frame.

Abstract: A foldable board is useful for developing, presenting to clients and storing key video and audio portions of proposed TV commercials. The board preferably has three panels joined together by a decorative backing or cover and foldable along vertical lines. Each panel has a front facing having two or more vertically spaced windows cut out in the shape of a TV screen and adjacent the window is a slot through which a sketch of a TV scene may be inserted. Below each window is space to attach a label bearing an audio statement corresponding to the video scene in the window. Behind the facing is a sheet of vinyl or other material and behind the vinyl is a stiffener of cardboard or the like. Each sketch is inserted through the appropriate slit and adheres to the vinyl by friction and tight fit. Scenes and labels may be changed as production of the commercial develops.

Abstract: A frame, more particularly for a picture, comprises profiled rails which are joined together at the corners of the frame by a corner-connector. Each corner-connector comprises two plugs arranged respectively in a cavity in each profiled rail, and each of the cavities comprises an opening extending in the longitudinal direction. The object to be achieved is a functionally reliable joint between the profiled rails which is simple to produce and can easily be released when required. To this end, each plug comprises a tongue which passes through the opening in the cavity and which engages, by means of a hook element or the like, behind a retaining element. A retaining element of this kind is arranged on at least one web of the profiled rail.

Abstract: An eyelash curler and method for curling eyelashes. The curler has an upper jaw for placement on top of the eyelashes and a lower jaw for placement under the eyelashes. The angle of the upper jaw to the handle is approximately 48.degree. allowing the curler to be positioned in contact with the cheek during use. The person holds the curler with two fingers on two finger grips on opposite sides of a sleeve and a thumb on the thumb grip at the bottom of a plunger. The curler is sighted in a mirror through an alignment aperture in the neck and the curler is moved toward the eyelashes while keeping the reflection of the pupil in the aperture until the first finger grip touches the upper cheek and the thumb grip touches the lower cheek. Once contact is made, the hand is maneuvered slightly about the finger grip until the upper jaw contacts the eyelid. The thumb grip is then squeezed toward the finger grips until the lower jaw butts against the upper jaw curling the eyelashes between them.
