Abstract: An insect destroying device is battery operated and shaped somewhat like a squash or tennis racquet in order to provide a wide opening to enable insects to make contact with one of two outer grids and an inner grid. Both a manual and static technique is provided for enabling contact with insects while destroying them. An uppermost portion of the housing includes an open area in which a narrow strip of central grid is exposed adjacent two ground grids to enable exposure to an insect discovered along the corner between the wall and the ceiling, or where the wall meets a wall at a 90 degree angle, or between the wall and the floor where it is very difficult to have the insect make contact with the center grid or ground grids through the main openings of the grid support area.

Abstract: A structure for supporting a particular type of plasma display panel. The panel is of the type formed of two flat rectangular plates attached to each other face to face with crossed longitudinal axes, the active panel area comprising the face to face surfaces. Support bars with resilient gaskets interposed between themselves and the two plates provide a shock-resistant mounting. Electronic circuitry can be attached to the support bars to provide a compact package with electronic circuitry adjacent to and substantially coplanar with the panel itself.
