Abstract: New elevator cab construction and reconstruction of old elevator cabs are frequently presented with the problem of increasing the interior size of the elevator cab in an elevator shaft of limited size. This invention relates to an elevator cab design providing a novel way of increasing internal cab size of a standard elevator cab while still retaining decorative design features by having removable decorative panels. The elevator cab is constructed of the normal elements, namely, a platform, a ceiling, cab shell walls, stiffeners and corner stiffener risers. The cab shell walls have a base and transom and shell panels there between designed to overlap one another so as to be readily attached by spot welding or adhesive. The stiffeners are hat-shaped elongated sections typically of stainless steel that are attached to the inside of the shell panels. The stiffeners may also be formed by hat-shaped ribs formed in the shell panels.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method and structure for decorating the interior of elevator cab walls by even unskilled personnel, without wastage of time, and of sufficient modularity so as to be adaptable for retrofitting on existing elevator cab walls and accommodating existing constraints of space, dimension and weight. In a preferred embodiment, a plurality of horizontal and vertical members are joined together to form an advantageous lattice frame structure for supporting decorative panels. The horizontal members incorporate downward facing elongated hanger slots for removable engagement with upwardly facing elongated finger members that are affixed to the interior wall surface of the elevator cab. Swing arrester members are affixed to the cab wall and are engagable with the vertical member to inhibit lateral motion of the lattice frame structure. The lattice frame is made of lightweight extruded aluminum members of the same cross section.

Abstract: The device for the quick splicing of two paper webs comprises a pair of conveying roller for feeding both webs in overlapping relationship at the same speed, a rotary blade, arranged downstream of the conveying rollers, for cutting simultaneously both overlapping and running webs, two discarding spools, arranged one on each side of the path of the running webs, for removing a severed portion of one of the webs, a splicing roller, positioned on the same side of the rotary blade, with respect to the path of the running webs, and finally a pair of drawing rollers, for drawing the web which has been spliced at the same speed as the conveying rollers.

Abstract: The device for feeding candies to a wrapping machine comprises a first disc on which the candies are discharged in a disorderly manner, which first disc is provided with separating brushes, for causing the candies to be housed in pockets provided thereon. The said pockets are arranged on the discs along arc lengths, the diameter of the said arc lengths being equal to the diameter of the crown of receiving pockets arranged on a second disc, or feeding disc. The candies are transferred from the pockets in the first disc to the pockets of the crown of the second disc by means of an intermediate rotary transfer device, which is provided with grippers each of which takes from the first disc a group of candies arranged along an arc length and deposits said group on a corresponding arc length of the crown of receiving pockets in the second disc.

Abstract: A pair of beltless trousers or slacks with a novel means of support, which permit the trousers or slacks to present a distinct and attractive appearance. A pair of trousers in accordance with the present invention relies upon neither belts, elastic or foam elastomer bands nor suspenders for support. Instead, the inner flap of the fly of the trousers or slacks is formed into a large, wide inner tab, tapering from a longer vertical side to a shorter vertical side. The shorter vertical side is detachably connected to the stiffening elements and the curtain liner on the inner wall of the left pocket, that is, the side of the waistband corresponding to the outer flap of the fly. This construction permits utilization of pockets which are connected solely to the curtain liner and stiffening elements, and which open to the top.

Abstract: An apparatus for transferring soap bars to be wrapped from a lower feed conveyor to an upper wrapping conveyor, with the purpose of avoiding any scratches or dents on the freshly manufactured soap bars due to sliding against fixed parts. The apparatus comprises, arranged on the lower conveyor, a plurality of containers open at the top and presenting in plan a cross-like section, so as to leave free the corner portions of the soap bars carried thereby. The soap bars are taken off from the containers of said lower conveyor by composite cradles arranged on a rotating turntable conveyor having its axis of rotation horizontal and orthogonal with respect to the lower conveyor. The composite cradles consist of two cradle halves which are opened during their descent towards the lower conveyor, so as to pass through this conveyor and position themselves beneath a soap bar-carrying container.
