Abstract: A headlamp with a cost effective and simple headlamp adjuster is provided which allows adjustment of the aim of headlamps from the front of the headlamp with an adjusting tool. In many circumstances, the adjusting tool will be a commonly and readily available tool, such as a Philips screw driver, but it is also contemplated that an adjusting tool with a proprietary end shape can also be employed.

Abstract: A cushioning envelope is provided. The envelope is constructed from a front panel and a rear panel connected to each other at a bottom edge and a pair of side edges. The front and rear panels have an outer layer and an inner cushioning layer. The inner cushioning layer is made from a cellular material, where cells have a triangular shape.

Abstract: An envelope is disclosed which includes a front panel and a rear panel. Each of the front and rear panels are made from an outer layer and an inner cushioning layer formed from a plastic air-cellular material. The front panel is connected to the rear panel along a bottom edge and a pair of side edges. A folding flap is connected to a top edge of the rear panel. The flap includes a number of separable portions. Each of the separable portions has an adhesive layer on an adjacent surface thereof. The flap is movable between a closed position where a selected separable portion is adhered to the front panel, and an open position where the flap is separated from the selected separable portion. The flap may be repeatedly closed and opened by sequentially adhering and separating the separable portions in a proximal direction.

Abstract: A conveyor device for conveying a chain of air-filled packing pillows to a selected position includes a generally upstanding duct, a support for supporting the device on a surface, and a pump positioned adjacent to the surface for supplying air to the device. The duct has an air inlet end connected in fluid communication with the pump, an outlet end, and an entrance aperture positioned downstream from the pump and the air inlet end for receiving the chain of air-filled packing pillows. When the pump is activated and the chain of air-filled packing pillows is inserted through the entrance aperture, the chain of air-filled packing pillows is conveyed upwardly through the duct in a longitudinal direction relative to the chain, and directed to arrive at the selected position.

Abstract: A plastic film for a heat-retaining swimming pool cover. The film is made of plastic material and has contained therein an infrared absorbent material. The amount of infrared absorbent material is insufficient to prevent some light from substantially penetrating the film. The film is used as a lower film in a floatable cover, with an I.R. pockets being formed between the lower and upper films.

Abstract: A heat retaining swimming pool cover (1) is floatable on pool water (2) in a swimming pool (3) and has a plastic upper film (5) for facing toward the atmosphere (6), a plastic lower film (8) for facing toward the pool water (2), sufficient spaced apart air pockets (10) configured into the lower film (8) for containing air such that the cover (1) is floatable on the pool water (2), and sealed land areas (11) between the air pockets (10) such that the upper and lower films (5,8) are sealed to each other. The lower film (8) contains an infrared absorbent effective amount of an infrared absorbent but which amount is insufficient to prevent sunlight (14) from substantially penetrating the lower film (8) and passing into the pool water (2).
