Abstract: This invention relates to an electrical power accessory which includes a device housing and a wire connection receptacle integrated into the device housing, the wire connection receptacle having two or more wire receiving formations selected from any two or more of an earth wire receiving formation, a neutral wire receiving formation and a live wire receiving formation, each wire receiving formation having a wire retainer for securing a wire in the receptacle, each wire receiving formation being marked according to the type of wire receivable therein. The electrical power accessory also includes an electrical contact in each wire receiving formation, each electrical contact being connected to an electrical conductor extending from the wire connection receptacle such that when a wire is received within the wire receiving formation, the wire is electrically connected to the electrical conductor.

Abstract: A Halter Bra is disclosed which has a support frame (F) with a first side portion and a second side portion and a base portion between the side portions. The side portions extend laterally from the base portion. A first quarter cup (A) is dependent from the base portion and the first side portion and a second quarter cup is dependent from the base portion and the second side portion. The support frame (F) is preferably bound with elastic binding material (B1, B2) on each side portion and on the base portion.

Abstract: In one aspect, the present invention provides an exothermic article comprising a film comprising an expanded polymer, said film having at least some porosity; and an exothermic composition disposed within said expanded polymer wherein said exothermic article is flexible. In a further aspect, the invention is a laminate comprising an exothermic layer, said exothermic layer comprising a film, said film comprising an expanded polymer having at least some porosity and an exothermic composition disposed within said expanded polymer, and an oxygen management layer disposed on at least one side of said exothermic layer.

Abstract: A baffle apparatus mountable in a hollow structural member includes first and second sealed containers, each containing a separate reactive component. The first and second containers are formed of complementary melting point materials so as to melt and allow the reactive components to mix and react when the thermal energy is applied to the structural member. The reactive components form an expanded volume foam mass substantially filling, sealing, and/or reinforcing the cross section of the structural member.

Abstract: A vehicle trim panel is secured to a vehicle structural panel by providing a vehicle trim fastener having spaced arms which embrace and overlie the legs on a mount which is seated over the edge of a vehicle structural panel. The embracing arms and corresponding legs prevent lateral shifting of the trim panel relative to the structural panel.

Abstract: A door protector module includes a unitarily constructed inner belt weatherstrip, a shield and a lower door seal which are attachable as a one piece assembly to a vehicle door inner trim panel or the inner door panel. The inner belt weatherstrip, the shield and the lower door shield are formed with complimentary adjoining shapes for affixing the inner belt weatherstrip, the shield and the lower door shield into a unitary structure by snaps, fasteners, adhesive, etc.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for finishing a surface of a vehicle part. A laser surface finishing means includes a finishing laser and at least one surface topography sensor. A first sensor scans each footprint of the surface and measures the footprint height. Each footprint height is compared to a reference height for that footprint area. If the footprint height is above the reference height, the laser generates a beam to either remove or cause reflow of a predetermined amount of material from the high points. These steps are repeated in a predetermined scanning pattern until each footprint height is not above the reference height for that footprint. In one aspect, a second sensor scans each footprint of the surface after the laser operates or not, and the height measured by the second sensor is used to determine if the steps need to be repeated.
