Abstract: A heads-up display system includes a laminate and an image projecting source for directing an image onto a first portion of the laminate. The outer major surfaces of the laminate are angularly offset within a first portion is such that an image from the image projector source projected onto a first major surface of the laminate within the first portion is reflected in a manner that reduces double imaging of the reflected image.

Abstract: A low insertion force seating grommet (10) has a hollow body (12) arrayed along a longitudinal axis (14). The body (12) has a wide end (16) and a narrow end (18) connected by an intermediate portion (20). The narrow end (18) has a cylindrical aperture (18a) and the wide end (16) has a cup-shaped aperture (16a). A flange (22) surrounds the wide end (16) and is provided with a wall-opening engaging portion (24). Longitudinally extending relief grooves (26) are formed on the internal surface (28) of the cup-shaped aperture (18a).

Abstract: A low insertion force seating grommet assembly (10a) has a hollow body (12) arrayed along a longitudinal axis (14). The body (12) has a wide end (16) and a narrow end (18) connected by an intermediate portion (20). The narrow end (18) has a cylindrical aperture (18a) and the wide end (16) has a cup-shaped aperture (16a). A flange (22) surrounds the wide end (16) and is provided with a wall-opening engaging portion (24). Longitudinally extending relief grooves (26) are formed on the internal surface (28) of the cup-shaped aperture (18a). A cable (32) is frictionally engaged in the cylindrical aperture and penetrates the cup-shaped aperture. A cover (30) closes the cup-shaped aperture. The cable enters the cover along the longitudinal axis and exits the cover at an angle of 90 degrees relative to the longitudinal axis.

Abstract: A cigarette extinguishing device including an extinguishing means. The extinguishing means has a snuff pad and an top for mechanically compressing a burning end of a cigarette therebetween to extinguish combustion. The snuff pad has a flat upper portion with a post projecting upwardly therefrom. The snuff pad has a flat lower portion with an opening defining a cavity within the snuff pad. Also, a bore hole is passed through the post and is in receipt of a bias spring. Lastly, the top has a flat upper portion, a flat lower portion and an outer periphery and a post receiving opening within. The post receiving opening is in receipt of the post and spring of the snuff pad. The top, when seated on the post, is capable of moving upwardly and downwardly when an individual engages the flat upper portion of the top.
