  • Patent number: 7118081
    Abstract: An adjustable support for a multimedia display device includes a base, a ring rotatably coupled with the base, and a foot mated with the ring and coupled with the base. The ring includes a plurality of ramp surfaces, and the foot includes a plurality of engaging surfaces. The plurality of ramp surfaces are separate from each other and distributed at substantially equal intervals along a common circumference, and each of the engaging surfaces interacts with a respective one of the ramp surfaces, wherein rotation of the ring relative to the base causes each of the engaging surfaces to slide along the respective one of the ramp surfaces to vary a distance the foot extends from the base.

  • Publication number: 20060039732
    Abstract: There is disclosed a lightweight portable printer having a frame or housing with a print head and a cooperable platen roll mounted in the housing. The housing pivotally mounts a subassembly. The subassembly mounts an electric motor and gearing driven by the motor for driving the platen roll. The subassembly is resiliently urged to press the print head against the platen roll. The printer has a front door which provides access to the inside of the housing. The front door mounts the platen roll, a label delaminator, a pressure roll, a holder for mounting a supply roll of labels or tags, and a latch for latching the door to the housing and for camming the pressure roll into and out of cooperation with the platen roll.

  • Publication number: 20050040184
    Abstract: A delay flow water reservoir for a clothes dryer cabinet and method of use is provided. The delay flow reservoir has a container having an opening and a cap engaging the opening. The cap has a delay chamber with a drain opening, a seal covering the opening with first and second seal holes, and the delayed flow reservoir. The delay chamber fills with water from the container before draining into the clothes drying cabinets. The method of using the delay flow water reservoir permits the user to fill a container while in an upright position and then moving the delay flow water reservoir to an overturned dispense position. The method permits water to drain into the delay reservoir rather than out the drain opening while the user moves the reservoir into operational communication in the clothes drying cabinet.
