  • Publication number: 20060254169
    Abstract: An apparatus, system, and method extend the exterior surface of a wall below a debridge of the weep screed. An exemplary weep screed includes an upper vertical flange, a debridge, and a lower screed portion that allows an exterior surface material to be applied below the debridge. The lower screed portion includes a lower vertical flange that extends form a lower debridge member to a tool guide. In addition to application of the exterior surface material above the debridge, the exterior surface is applied over the lower screed portion. The resulting exterior surface extends the full height of the wall while damage due to moisture is minimized since the debridge facilitates the weeping of water from the exterior surface above the debridge. The “high tide” appearance is eliminated while meeting building code requirements and maintaining a dependable, weather resistant, and structurally sound building wall.

  • Publication number: 20050258183
    Abstract: A dispensing system for individual bandages includes a pack of separable adhesive bandages releasably joined at one end, and having separation strips joining adjacent bandages. A dispenser holds the pack at the one end so that individual bandages can be pulled manually out through a slot in the dispenser. The separation strip pulls the next bandage in the pack into position in the slot when one bandage is removed. The dispenser comprises a base and a cover, hinged about an axis such that the cover swings towards the opening slot. A flange element extends inwardly from the front wall of said dispenser, overlying a portion of said bandage pack so as to prevent removal of the pack from the slotted opening of said dispenser, but permit retrieval of individual bandages.
