  • Patent number: 4584727
    Abstract: A sofa bed has a stationary framework and a foldable bed frame connected to and foldable into the framework, the foldable frame having an outer section connected to and pivotal relative to a body section, the outer section overlying the body section in the folded position of the frame to form a seat. The outer section has a plurality of individual seat support elements extending thereacross transversely to the sofa back. The individual elements are spaced apart in a direction parallel to that axis, and each of the individual elements is downwardly deflectable independently of the other when a person sits on said seat, and is arched so that a concavity is formed in the sofa form for the sofa cushions, and as that the mattress is compressed. A spring edge is mounted on and extends above a front rail of the stationary framework to form the front supporting edge of the seat.

  • Patent number: 4499231
    Abstract: A pellicle for use in projection printing comprises a pellicle in which the transparent film is formed from a polyvinyl butyral resin or from a casting composition which is a mixture of a polyvinyl butyral resin and a dispersion of colloidal silica and a silicone resin which is a lower aliphatic alcohol-water solution of the partial condensate of a silanol. A pellicle employing such films are useful in the near, mid and deep UV regions.
