Abstract: An arm rest assembly is usable with a mouse pad or keyboard and provides vertical support for a user's arm to avoid fatigue and injury. The assembly has at least one forearm cradle and a thin profile which allows a mouse or digitizer pad to be placed on an assembly platen or to insert the assembly under a keyboard and support both forearms of the using while striking the keys of the keyboard with both hands. The assembly further includes a detachable slide which is pivotable and, at the same time, allows linear movement of the arm toward and away from the assembly. An interchangeable cradle for the user's forearm has springs to counteract the arm weight and to make the cradle stable in the horizontal position while permitting some tilting.

Abstract: The easel is a flat, generally diamond-shaped member formed of non-scratching stiff, resilient material, such as plastic. The member has a line of weakness extending thereacross between its opposed oblique angle points. The member can therefore easily be bent along the line of weakness to adopt a two-sided pyramidal form having rearwardly inclined, load-supporting edges and bottom edges. Means are provided along the load-supporting edges for disengageably supporting and frictionally interlocking with a picture frame or flat sheet to be displayed in spaced, non-scratching arrangement above a flat support surface, such as a table top. In the case of a channel-type picture frame, the means may comprise opposed L-shaped slots extending inwardly from each load-supporting edge a short distance above the bottom edge. The L-shaped slots form a T-shaped member. The T-shaped member can frictionally interlock with the base channel of a picture frame, to suspend the frame in a rearwardly inclined display position.

Abstract: A metal pipe bracket is disclosed for firmly securing a plumbing pipe within a stud bay. The metal pipe bracket has a U-channel that is slipped over a steel strap nailed between the two studs of a stud bay. Locking tabs located on the pipe bracket aligned with and snapped into locking holes on the steel strap. A metallic plumbing pipe either extending horizontally within the stud bay or vertically within the stud bay is then soldered to the pipe bracket thereby providing a secure attachment between the plumbing pipe and the stud bay structure. Secured in this manner, the plumbing pipe is held secure against vertical, horizontal, and axial movement. A pipe secured in this manner can be attached to a shower head or a shower water mixer valve. Upon subsequent use of the shower head or the mixer valve, the plumbing pipe is secure from movement that would normally be caused by repeated adjustment of the shower head and use of the water mixer valve.

Abstract: A power seat drive mechanism for an automobile has a motor which drives a worm which in turn drives a worm wheel at a given speed. The worm wheel is connected to a threaded shaft which it drives to rotate. Rotation of the threaded shaft forces it through a nut which is fixed to the body of the vehicle. This drives the threaded shaft which is connected to the sliding frame of the seat longitudinally with respect to the vehicle. In order to prevent force exerted on the seat in the direction of its travel, from causing the threaded shaft to rotate faster than it is being driven and thus overrun the worm gear, a resilient governor member is included which provides a limited braking effect and tends to resist the rotation of the shaft. With this configuration, backlash in the drive mechanism is eliminated.
