  • Publication number: 20080226201
    Abstract: A bag has an integral closure mechanism. In particular, a bag has perforated lines along which the bag is torn to form handles. The handles are used to tie the bag closed. Apertures are provided for facilitating tearing of the bag along the perforated lines to form the handles. A method of manufacturing a bag includes forming lines of perforations in the bag such that, when the bag is torn along the lines of perforations, handles are formed in the bag by which the bag may be lifted and tied closed. A method of tearing the bag to form the handles includes lifting of the bag by inserting a finger into an aperture formed in the bag and lifting upwardly when the bag is weighted down with contents.

  • Patent number: 6097156
    Abstract: The switching control system turns off the headlights of a vehicle when the vehicle'S brakes are applied and the vehicle is slowing down and possibly stopping at an intersection and turns the headlights on when the brakes are released. An auxiliary headlight switch turns the headlights on and off by processing signals from (1) the conductor which lights the brake lights and (2) an electrical signal from the speed indication system of the vehicle. The headlights are turned off when (1) the brakes are applied, sending power to the brake lights and (2) vehicle speed is below a designated level, as indicated by a unit which receives the speed signal and generates a signal when the speed is below the designated level. An indicator light is lit when the subject control switching is in effect. In an original equipment embodiment the control switching is powered by the fourth position on a 4 position headlight switch.
