  • Patent number: 4444524
    Abstract: A new and improved mounting clip for tongue and groove panels includes a body of thin flat sheet metal having a pair of deflectable wings on opposite sides adapted to be folded around opposite longitudinal edges of a flange on an elongated support member for the panel. The clip includes a panel support element between the wings having a tongue spaced from the body and adapted to engage a groove in the edge of the panel for securing the panel in place against the support member. Tongue and groove panels are installed transversely across elongated support members by mounting the clips on the supports and folding the wings over against the flange with the tongue of the clip engaged in the groove in the edge of the adjacent panels. The tongue of the succeeding panel is then inserted into the groove of the panel already in place and another clip installed to support the succeeding panel, etc.

  • Patent number: 4145293
    Abstract: A self-contained apparatus for concentrating and dialyzing protein and other macromolecular liquid samples rapidly to precise, predetermined microliter quantities. An elongate rod of predetermined volume, having irregular cross section along its length, is disposed within a semi-permeable membrane sample container in spaced juxtaposition with the membrane to maximize the rates of concentration and dialysis. The rod also cooperates with a sample collection chamber sealingly interconnected detachably with the bottom of the membrane to automatically provide a predetermined final sample volume precise to within two microliters. The rod includes a member, detachably coupled with and extending into the cllection chamber for providing the collection chamber with a predetermined volume.
