  • Patent number: 5435441
    Abstract: A shipping support system for moveable articles within a refrigerator having an interior compartment containing a plurality of movable articles such as shelves and the like, wherein the packing support system includes a conformable bag containing expandable foam material. A shipping support is formed by dispensing the expandable foam into an open receiving end of the conformable bag and then the receiving end is sealed closed. Upon forming the shipping support, the conformable bag is secured to a door hingedly mounted to the refrigerator before the expandable foam has completely expanded and formed. Subsequently, the door is closed, capturing the conformable bag between the door and the moveable articles within the refrigerator. As the expandable foam expands, the conformable bag conforms to the configuration of the moveable articles such that the moveable articles are securely supported within the refrigerator cabinet.

  • Patent number: 4817234
    Abstract: A vacuum cleaner includes an operating handle having a compartment for containing a shielded electronic control module for operational control of the vacuum cleaner. The electronic control module includes a touch sensitive outer surface exposed in an opening of the compartment so that a user can effect control of the vacuum cleaner by touching a faceplate or keyboard to actuate touch sensitive components such as switches mounted on a circuit board behind the faceplate. A first shielding peripheral side wall is integrally joined to the faceplate surrounding the circuit board and a second peripheral side wall is formed around the circuit board in a nested, overlapping abutting relationship to the first side wall to establish an elongate electrical creep path between a touch point on the outer surface of the faceplate and a point or surface of a different electrical potential associated with one or more of the electrical components on the circuit board.
