Abstract: The present invention discloses a collapsible metal planter. The planter has a plurality of wall sections. Each wall section side portion has a first end portion and an opposing second end portion. The end portions are angularly disposed inwards. Each first end portion has a first edge with a V-shaped notch positioned in vertical orientation. Each second end portion has a second edge with a V-shaped notch positioned in vertical orientation opposite to that of the first edge notch. The first edge notch and second edge notch form a square orifice when the first end portion of a wall section is placed in abutment with the second end portion of an adjacent wall section. The square orifice is receivable of a fastener to secure the adjacent wall sections together.

Abstract: A pressurized construction adhesive applicator system is provided that is able to apply adhesive to vertical surfaces without foaming, solvents, or resort to mechanical pumps. The pressurized construction adhesive applicator system including a canister having a volume, a one- part curable construction adhesive in the volume a lid forming a seal with said canister, an applicator wand having a trigger in fluid communication with the one-part curable construction adhesive via a tube, and a pressurant in the volume in an amount sufficient to urge the one-part curable construction adhesive from the volume and out of a nozzle of the applicator as a bead with depression of the trigger.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a new landscape edging system in which multiple adjacent edging sections are interconnectable prior to inserting stakes. An edging section is provided. A first transition extends from one end and a second transition extends from the opposite end. A first slot extends to the midpoint of the first transition. A second slot extends to the midpoint of the second transition. A connector extends outwardly from each transition. Each connector has an upper and lower tab. The first slot receives the second transition of an adjacent edging section as the second slot receives the first transition of the adjacent edging section. This interlocks the edging sections together. As interlocked, the upper and lower tabs on the connectors form a rectangular structure for receiving a V-shaped stake. Stake tabs on the stake engage the upper tabs top secure the edging system to the soil.

Abstract: An engine exhaust-stack plug for sealing an exhaust stack of an aircraft engine is provided. The exhaust-stack plug includes a desiccant and a flexible plug adapted to slide into an outlet of an engine exhaust-stack. The flexible plug includes a front panel that is substantially impermeable to water vapor and is accessible from the outlet of the engine exhaust-stack. An outer wall, which is also substantially impermeable to water vapor, is sealed with the front panel and shaped to fit snuggly within the outlet of the engine exhaust stack. A backside is coupled with the outer wall, opposite the front panel, for facing internal to the engine exhaust stack. The front panel, the outer wall, and the backside form an enclosure adapted to contain the desiccant. The backside is substantially air permeable such that the desiccant reduces humidity and prevents condensation inside the aircraft engine.

Abstract: A structural moisture-cured polyurethane adhesive is provided in a pressurized container (60) that is formulated to meet the structural requirements of wall and floor construction for the manufactured housing and recreational vehicle industry, and is designed to bond flooring to joists, wallboard to stud and header framing, as well as other structural applications. The pressurized container (60) allows for adhesive application on horizontal and vertical surfaces without any outside pumps or motors. The pressurized container (60) is portable and may be moved around the structure and/or manufacturing plant. The pressurized container (60) has a hose (64) and applicator gun (20) attached to it, where a trigger (42) on the gun (20) is depressed to dispense the adhesive. The adhesive flows consistently from the pressurized container (60), and the gun (20) is adjustable to regulate bead size for consistent placement of a bed of adhesive, which is an improvement over manual operated caulking guns.

Abstract: Folios with light guides are disclosed. In one embodiment, a folio may include: (1) a back cover comprising an interior surface and an exterior surface; (2) a front cover movably connected to the back cover, the front cover comprising an interior surface, an exterior surface, and at least one edge, the interior surface of the front cover disposed opposite the interior surface of the back cover when the folio is in a closed position; and (3) a light guide comprising a light receiving portion proximal to the interior surface of the front cover and a light emitting portion visible when the folio is in the closed position; wherein the light receiving portion receives light from a light source.

Abstract: A power and communications hub (PCH) for oil and gas operations is disclosed. The PCH includes a port operable to provide electrical power to a device for use in oil and gas operations; a port operable to provide electrical communications for use in oil and gas operations; a multiplexer (MUX) interface for connection to a MUX cable; a PCH connection interface for connection to at least one additional PCH; and a PCH body. The PCH body is operable to be disposed proximate a blowout preventer (BOP) stack, and the PCH body is physically disposed apart from but in electrical communication with at least one control pod on the BOP stack.

Abstract: Described herein is a device to hold eggs during the cooking and cooling process for the creation of boiled eggs. The egg cooking device includes a frame capable of holding at least one egg while in boiling water and a handle that may be used to lift the device in and out of boiling water and a spout assembly for distributing cold water over the egg holders to cool them simultaneously.

Abstract: The improved substance applicator delivery container includes a substance applicator component infused or impregnated with a desired scent, perfume, essential oil, or chemical substance and retained between two cover sheets of material that is substantially impermeable to the infused or impregnated substance. The two cover sheets are releasably bonded through a polymer adhesive surrounding the substance applicator. The substance applicator component may also be bonded to the bottom cover sheet through a semi-rigid to rigid polymer carrier component, which provides additional control for application of the substance. The polymer adhesive may be deposited in a chevron-shaped feature near the top edge of the packet to allow for controlled opening of the packet. Gripping ridges near the top edge of the packet further assist the controlled opening of the packet.
