Abstract: A wiper assembly for a mirror including a frame and a wiper arm mechanism. The wiper arm mechanism includes a wiper blade and has a rest position and a stop position. A manually operated remote control is provided for actuating the wiper arm mechanism from the rest position to the stop position. A spring is provided to return the wiper arm mechanism from the stop position to the rest position. The manually operated remote control is in the form of a Bowden wire. In another embodiment, the manually operated remote control consists of a pneumatic cylinder and valve mechanism and causes the wiper arm mechanism to move through a complete cycle.

Abstract: A sliding door assembly for bathtubs, shower stalls and the like. The assembly includes at least one door panel, an elongated support rail member, and support mount structure for slidably mounting the door panel to the support rail member. The support mount structure includes an elongated carriage member attached to the door panel and a pair of support rollers mounted to the carriage member and engaging the support rail member. The rollers are free to move lengthwise along the carriage member as the door is open and closed. However, structure is provided to stop the lengthwise motion of the rollers just prior to the door panel reaching a closed position to brake the motion of the door panel as it is moved to the closed position.

Abstract: A rail car transporting and shipping system including a shipping floor having an edge, a plurality of elongated pits within the shipping floor and aligned in side-by-side relation and further having open ends at said edge, first railroad rails in each of the pits extending to the edge and adapted to receive a rail car, and a traveling crane movable in a path adjacent the edge and the pit ends. An elongated carriage is mounted on the traveling crane for vertical movement with respect thereto and second railroad rails are disposed on the carriage alignable with the first rails in each of the pits when the carriage is in a lowered position. A hoist is provided for raising and lowering the carriage on the traveling crane and a coupler structure is mounted on the carriage for movement in a direction parallel to the second rails.
