Abstract: An enclosure for use with an outdoor grill having plates at its base used to secure the enclosure to a base surface. Preferably the enclosure is formed from a series of panels which adjoin one another and are secured to one another.

Abstract: A limited use tape cassette comprising a housing enclosing a tape spooled to pass from a rotatable supply reel to a rotatable take-up reel during tape play, and from the take-up reel to the supply reel during tape rewind. A follower arm is pivotally mounted on the housing and is biased to engage spooled tape on the one of the reels, preferably the supply reel. An erase arm is pivotally mounted on the housing and is movably and releasably connected to the follower arm. The erase arm has a tape erase head thereon and is biased toward the take-up reel. Upon predetermined movement of the follower arm which results from predetermined tape movement between the reels, the erase arm is released from the follower arm to move the erase head into engagement with the tape on the take-up reel to erase it as it is being rewound onto the supply reel. After the erased tape is rewound onto the supply reel, the erase arm moves the erase head to an inoperative position to enable the erased tape to be reused.

Abstract: A limited-use tape cassette includes a follower arm pivotally secured to the housing at one end while abutting the spooled tape of a cassette reel at a distal end. A use-limiting mechanism is provided by the follower arm or another inter-related arm to control rewinding and/or playback of the tape based on follower arm position and/or positional history. In one embodiment, a second rotatable arm is located in controlled interference with the follower arm so as to cause it to "lock up" after a predetermined number of unfettered play back/rewind cycles have taken place. In other embodiments, the arrangement utilizes existing brake teeth of a tape cassette reel to prevent rewinding after a predetermined amount of the video has been viewed. In other arrangements, an over-center follower arm position is utilized together with a stop abutment to bind the tape against complete rewinding only after the video has been substantially completely once viewed.

Abstract: A cushioning structure for dampening shocks useful as a packing material to protect shipments of goods and as a protective shield or garment to prevent injury from falls or increase comfort such as in shoes, furniture, carpet, automobile components etc. including one or more planar sheets of pliable material bonded to a matrix of polygon shape cells containing a fluid such as air or other gas. In one aspect the cells are in fluid communication with each other to provide a valved fluid transfer from one cell to the next. In another aspect, the material is a resilient material formed as a grid like matrix of shaped indentures.
