  • Patent number: 4401896
    Abstract: An electrically non-conductive separator having a hole formed therethrough is interposed between a pair of switch contacts having a modulus of elasticity. A cover of electrically non-conductive flexible material covers the switch contacts. Electrically conductive leads are electrically connected to, and extend from, the switch contacts. The positions of the switch contacts relative to each other are determined by differences in pressure and control the operation of an electrical circuit electrically connected to the leads to operate a circuit to perform a function.

  • Patent number: 4319230
    Abstract: Electrically conductive leads of a radio alarm system electrically connect a relay, a source of electrical energy and a radio transmitter in a back up circuit. The relay is energized by electrical conductors of an electric circuit of the radio alarm system having switches, and maintains the relay normally open as long as the radio alarm system is in operative condition. When an electrical conductor of the radio alarm system is open-circuited, the relay is deenergized and closes the back up circuit to actuate the transmitter to transmit radio signals indicating that an electrical conductor of a closed circuit of the radio alarm system has been open-circuited.

  • Patent number: 4260444
    Abstract: One of the most effective methods of marketing a new product is to sample it, get it into the hands of millions of prospective customers so they can test it, feel it, taste it or smell it. Product sampling is practiced, however, only when it can be done economically. The present invention relates to the economical sampling of thin absorbent tissues such as toilet tissue, paper toweling, facial tissue and similar thin, lightweight products. The present invention reduces the cost of hand tipping samples of absorbent paper tissues from approximately $60.00 per 1,000 to below $9.00 per 1,000. This 85% reduction in costs will enable tissue producers to sample their products to more consumers so they can test them prior to buying. In the present invention, a printed front cover, the tissue sample or samples, and a printed back cover are delivered to a collator in continuous ribbons.

  • Patent number: 4176860
    Abstract: A street address locating aid includes two printed paper discs. Street addresses and cross streets are printed in concentric circles on both sides of each disc. A printed paper carrier having first and second essentially parallel sheets is mounted on opposite sides of the two discs. Each of the two sheets of the carrier include "street address" and "location near" apertures through which a particular street address and the corresponding cross street are exposed. By rotating the discs, different street addresses can be selected and the cross street near that address is displayed. The two discs are mounted so that they are partially overlapping within the carrier but so that neither disc obstructs the view of the street address and location near apertures associated with the other disc.

  • Patent number: 4141009
    Abstract: Electrically conductive leads electrically connect a relay, a source of electrical energy and a radio transmitter for transmitting radio signals in a back up circuit with a burglar alarm. The relay is electrically connected to the electric circuit of a burglar alarm system and is maintained unenergized by said system so that the relay is normally open. When an electrical conductor of the burglar alarm circuit is energized, the relay is energized and closes the back up circuit to actuate the transmitter to transmit radio signals indicating that an electrical conductor of the burglar alarm circuit has been energized.

  • Patent number: 4012728
    Abstract: Electrically conductive leads electrically connect a relay, a source of electrical energy and a radio transmitter for transmitting radio signals in a back up circuit. The relay is electrically connected to the electric circuit of a burglar alarm system. When an electrical conductor of the burglar alarm system is cut, the relay closes the back up circuit to actuate the transmitter to transmit radio signals indicating that an electrical conductor of the burglar alarm circuit has been cut.
