Abstract: A unitary wall corner protective member consisting of an underlying layer conforming to the wall member and an overlying layer spaced from said underlying layer, said layers having a common end portion having intermediate thereof a hinge unitary therewith and said layers having releasable interengaging other end portions, said overlying layer being yieldingly resistant to impact and an impact absorbing member intermediate said layers carried by said underlying layer.

Abstract: This invention relates to insert strips for a floor covering structure for public walking areas such as in foyers of commercial buildings. The floor structure is made up of connected longitudinal sections, each section having a central longitudinal channel, a raised removable strip being disposed into each channel, to provide a walking surface and the strip having a relatively friction free underlying surface for an easy insertion into a channel and the same being arranged to be retained in the channel.

Abstract: A connecting structure of floor mat sections particularly adapted for public foyer walking areas, the connecting sections being formed to be unitary of plastic material, certain of said sections having terminal portions at each side thereof having axial bores therein coextensive therewith, said bores having slots therethrough at the outer side thereof and alternate of said sections having terminal portions at each side thereof having outwardly extending web portions having outer edges adapted to be received and retained within an adjacent of said bores for interconnection of said sections, said webs having medial thickness such as to pass through said slots, said sections having tread surfaces and underlying support surfaces, said surfaces being reversible.

Abstract: A floor covering for public areas such as foyers in public buildings, each section of the floor covering being substantially rectangular in plan of a fairly narrow width, having a flexible projecting tongue along one side thereof, said tongue extending to underlie at least a portion of said sections and having the other side thereof adapted to receive and non-rotatively retain the projected tongue of an adjacent such section whereby like sections interconnect to form a floor covering, the tongues being sufficiently flexible to permit the connected sections to be rolled up.

Abstract: A floor covering, as for indoor public walking areas, being made up of sections, each section being substantially rectangular in plan, having a fairly narrow width and being disposed in closely spaced parallel relationship. Coupling members not unlike double hinges connect adjacent sides of the sections, the coupling members being particularly arranged to permit a compact rollup of the sections for cleaning purposes.

Abstract: This invention relates to an improvement in a weather seal between a sash and an adjacent side of a window frame and more particularly relates to a weather seal which increases in sealing effect under the impact of wind pressure and consists of a jamb strip having a portion projecting outwardly of the side of a window frame alongside the adjacent side rail of a sash and a flexible weather strip is carried by said projection angled across the juncture of the side of the window frame and sash rail, the strip being positioned to be drawn against the jamb and sash rail, and the strip being pressed further thereagainst for increased sealing effect under the impact of wind pressure. The strip permits free movement of the sash without lessening its sealing effect.

Abstract: This invention relates to a new combination of a wall supported hand rail having as a part thereof and depending therefrom a plate member forming a bumper to protect the adjacent wall surface from being marred or otherwise damaged by engagement of manually moved vehicles such as laundry carts or food tray cabinets as in a hospital corridor.

Abstract: A door locking structure forming a panic exit device consisting of an elongated housing recessed within the leading edge of a door structure, an operating rod including latch bolts disposed in said housing, an astragal seated within a channel formed in the leading edge of said housing, link members connecting said rod and said astragal and operating means carried by said housing operating said rod to move said astragal inwardly and outwardly of said channel, a plurality of cam headed lug members carried by said rod, a plurality of studs corresponding to said cam members extending rearwardly of said astragal whereby latching movement of said rods moves said cam members to engage their corresponding studs to hold said astragal in an outward or extended dead locked position.
