  • Patent number: 7743813
    Abstract: A cornice fixture for decorating a wall and a method of installing the cornice fixture are disclosed. The cornice fixture includes a rod from which window treatments are hung and at least one bracket.

  • Publication number: 20060073235
    Abstract: A convertible injection molding system uses a standardized, reusable mold frame (base) and modular molds formed from various combinations of standardized stack components. The mold base can support one or more stacks. Blank stack components include a cavity block, a core block, a primary support insert, a secondary support insert, an ejector retainer plate, an ejector plate insert, and a clamp plate insert. These components can be assembled into four different configurations with three different opening/closing sequences.

  • Publication number: 20060051445
    Abstract: An injection molding system utilizes pre-assembled modular molds. The molds interface with an injection molding machine through standardized injection and ejection interfaces. A standardized runner clamp plate and ejector clamp plate may be integral to the injection molding machine or attached to the injection molding machine for interfacing the mold to the injection molding machine. A quick-connect mechanism may be used to couple an active ejection mechanism in the injection molding machine with integral ejector components in the mold.
