Patent number: 5480030Abstract: A reusable, evacuable enclosure comprising a bag with an opening in which to place compressible articles, such as clothing or linen, and a one-way valve in a surface of the bag. Compressible articles may be placed in the bag and sealed from the surrounding environment by placing a seal across the opening. The excess air in the bag may then be removed by placing a cylindrical attachment of a household vacuum cleaner over the one-way valve. Once the excess air is extracted, a cap is placed over the valve to ensure a permanent seal. Removal of excess air reduces the size of the compressible article and inhibits the growth of insects and bacteria, which may damage the contents of the bag. Moreover, the enclosure is impervious to moisture, and so inhibits the growth of mildew.Type: GrantFiled: December 15, 1993Date of Patent: January 2, 1996Assignee: New West Products, Inc.Inventors: Gerald W. Sweeney, James W. Pfeiffer, David M. Hadden, Kenneth L. Blanchard, Howard R. Mullin

Patent number: 5380119Abstract: A resiliently yieldable picture frame corner insert for use with a picture frame corner construction. The corner construction includes first and second elongate frame parts extending at right angles to each other and having juxtaposed end portions and longitudinal axes. Each of the end portions has a hole therein extending perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the frame part and a slot extending from the hole and through the end portion. The corner insert is secured to the juxtaposed end portions for retaining them in contact with each other. The corner insert is formed as one piece and has first and second web portions disposed in the slots and first and second outer portions disposed in the holes. The web portions are resiliently yieldable with respect to each other and serve to apply yieldable forces tending to urge the juxtaposed end portions into engagement with each other.Type: GrantFiled: June 21, 1993Date of Patent: January 10, 1995Inventor: David M.
