Abstract: A firescreen is secured in place by a flexible member attached at one end to the firescreen with the other end thereof secured to a bracket mounted in position for a portion thereof to extend upwardly in rearwardly spaced relation to the front side of the front wall of the fireplace. An actuator member connected to the bracket moves the bracket rearwardly away from an abutment carried by the fireplace intermediate the bracket and the firescreen whereby tension is applied to the flexible member to urge the firescreen rearwardly and downwardly, thus securing the firescreen to the fireplace.

Abstract: A high productivity packaging apparatus and method utilize a drum and a plurality of circularly arranged trap chambers, or traps, which communicate and rotate with the drum as an integral, compact unit. During rotation of the drum, the level of material to be packaged is sensed within the drum and material is fed intermittently into the drum by a positive screw feed to replace material withdrawn. Each trap successively draws from the material stored within the drum a unit of material to be packaged, traps the unit, discharges any excess and during continued rotation directs the material toward a trap outlet for discharge at a discharge station in synchronism with the passage of packet containers. The packet containers are formed in a continuous strip of heat settable, coated, sheet material (e.g.
