Abstract: A table for supporting and securing a portable computer in a vehicle comprises a table top with adjustably positionable clamping members and an articulated arm secured at an upper end to the underside of the table and at a lower end to the interior of the car, typically the floor. The clamping members are slidingly secured along the sides of the table to permit sliding advancement of the clamping members relative to and along the sides to which they are attached. Opposed clamping members are retractable and extendable relative to one another. The table is removably securable to the vehicle and collapsible upon itself to permit it to be positioned out of the way when not in use.

Abstract: A base panel for use with building blocks has a top surface, edges defining the perimeter of said surface, a circumferential wall extending downwardly from the edges, and a plurality of bores defining a grid in said surface. The bores are square, each side of the bore having a dimension X. The distance between each bore is no greater than 1/2X. However, the distance between an outer edge of the bores and the edges of the panel is at least X so that a block which fits in the bores and spans the space between the bores, can not be positioned so that a portion of the block overhangs the panel. The panel removably rests on a support.

Since the locking piece can be positioned below and within the lower support member, it does not become any obstruction to the customers. A structure for treating dew drops dropped from a door of a display case including a tray for catching the dropped dew drops, a dew drops scattering inhibitor plate on the front portion of the tray, and a guide path on the rear portion of the tray and sloped down toward a machine room.

Abstract: Applicant's sprinkler head is molded with a large number (such as twelve or sixteen) of potential orifices and directing channels with the orifices all plugged or occluded with comparatively light barriers or plugs of the molded plastic material which are readily punctured and removed by the user. In this way the user may select among many possible watering patterns including not only the above described full, one-half, and one-fourth circles, but may also choose to punch one orifice, giving a thirty or twenty-two and one-half degree arc, then skip one or two plugs, then punch another plug or two. In this manner one or a number of orifices may remain blocked making it possible to, for example, water a thirty degree arc, skip sixty degrees, water another thirty of sixty degree arc, etc. Many such patterns become possible.
