Publication number: 20240102337Abstract: A bead for releasably securing a glazing unit to a frame member, comprising a body having a first end and a second end, and a resiliently deformable member secured to the body and having a first finger extending from the body to a first end, and a second finger extending from the first finger to a second end. The first end of the body and the first end of the first finger are configured to engage with respective first and second ends of a frame member so as to secure the bead to the frame member. The second end of the body is configured to secure a glazing unit against an opposed seal of the frame member. The body comprises a first material having a first stiffness and the deformable member comprises a second material having a second stiffness less than the first stiffness.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 11, 2023Publication date: March 28, 2024Inventor: Thomas Andrew FIELDING

Patent number: 8978937Abstract: An actuator (1) for a hand-held aerosol container fitted centrally at its top with a dispensing valve, the actuator having: (i) a cup-shaped over-cap (3) attachable to the container and having a top wall defining a gap through which a spray channel passes, the gap restricting lateral movement of the spray channel; (ii) a spray channel (4) in fluid connection with the valve; (iii) an actuator button (5) having a finger pad from which a keel depends; the keel dependent from the finger pad of the button (5) being able to press down onto the spray channel (4) and the spray channel (4) on to the valve after the first slide movement of the button (5), but not before; whereby the actuator button (5) has a distinct first slide movement that puts it into an orientation in which a second depression movement causes release of the contents of the associated dispenser and in that the force required for the first slide movement of the actuator button (5) is at least 5N.Type: GrantFiled: April 21, 2011Date of Patent: March 17, 2015Assignee: Conopco Inc.Inventors: Richard Chambers, Andrew Fielding, Adam William Peacock, Graham Paul Randall, James Edward Roe, Jason Peter Roebuck, Kevin John Stamp

Patent number: 5673870Abstract: A reel apparatus for reeling a traveling web produced on a papermaking machine comprises a rotatable support drum which is fixedly mounted in a frame. A pair of parallel, horizontally disposed rails are mounted to the frame with the tops of the rails above the apex of the support drum. New reel spools are brought into supporting engagement on the rails at a location downstream of the apex of the support drum and intermediate the apex of the support drum and a jumbo-sized wound web roll which is being wound while being powered by a centerwind assist drive, as well as nipping engagement with the support drum. Each reel spool is supported in a pair of carriages which are mounted to travel over the rails.Type: GrantFiled: December 19, 1995Date of Patent: October 7, 1997Assignee: Beloit Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Andrew Fielding, Andrew D.
