  • Patent number: 7730679
    Abstract: A water drain for insertion into a mating wall opening in an extruded, hollow door or window sash or frame comprises a round, rectangular or the like housing having at least one peripheral front flange defining a drain opening, a baffle extending downwardly from a housing top portion for partially closing an upper portion of the drain opening, and a flap having a lower planar rear surface and an upper planar front surface for opening and closing lower and upper portions of the drain opening. The planar lower rear surface portion of the flap is joined to the upper front surface portion by a pivot axis, the planar lower surface being disposed forwardly of the upper planar front surface whereby the flap tends to gravitate to an at-rest, closed, substantially vertical position.

  • Publication number: 20090269720
    Abstract: A silicone mouthpiece insert for allowing a wearer to whiten their teeth while under a whitening lamp and can be used to hold whitening trays and allow light curing of whitening chemicals for the teeth. The device can also hold whitening sponges, whitening strips and chemicals directly placed in the holder or be used as a one piece whitening tray for both upper and lower teeth all at once allowing for molding of those tray all at once. It also holds open the upper and lower lip to keep the teeth exposed to the lights shining into the center and sides of the mouth to reach the upper and lower, right and left sides of the surface of the teeth.

  • Publication number: 20090120005
    Abstract: A water drain for insertion into a mating wall opening in an extruded, hollow door or window sash or frame. A round, rectangular or the like housing having at least one peripheral front flange defining a drain opening is adapted for abutment against a wall of the sash or frame, said housing having a top wall portion and a bottom wall portion perpendicular to the front flange, and a pair of opposed side wall portions, a baffle extending downwardly from the housing top wall portion for partially closing an upper portion of the drain opening, and a flap having a lower planar rear surface and an upper planar front surface for opening and closing lower and upper portions of the drain opening. The planar lower rear surface portion is joined to the upper front surface portion by a pivot axis, the planar lower surface being disposed forwardly of the upper planar front surface whereby the flap tends to gravitate to an at-rest, closed, substantially vertical position.

  • Publication number: 20070151157
    Abstract: A brake assembly for locking a vertical or horizontal slidable sash window or door within a track of a frame is disclosed. The track has an elongated base and a pair of spaced apart, opposed sidewalls extending perpendicular from the base. Each sidewall has an inner shoulder spaced from and parallel to the base. The assembly has a slider body having a central opening extending from a front face of the body to a rear face of the body. The slider body has a side opening in each side of the slider body and being in communication with the central opening. A pair of brake members are provided wherein one brake member is slidably positioned within a respective one of the side openings. A cam has a rear face and a front face, and is adapted to receive a pivot member mounted on either the sash window or door. The cam is positioned in the central opening and is adapted to be rotatable within the opening by the pivot member.

  • Publication number: 20060243117
    Abstract: The invention is an adjustable cymbal device that is mountable onto a standard hi-hat cymbal. The adjustable cymbal device operatively connects a primary actuator rod connected to the foot pedal on the standard hi-hat cymbal stand to a secondary actuator rod upon which a set of cymbals has been mounted. To allow for adjustment of the adjustable cymbal device in relation to the standard hi-hat stand and to the desired playing position of a percussionist, the adjustable cymbal device provides the ability to adjust the length of travel of the upper cymbal, the tilt and offset of the adjustable cymbal device, the rotational angle of the adjustable cymbal device, and the tilt between the lower cymbal relative to the upper cymbal.

  • Patent number: 5822934
    Abstract: A window or door drain at the base of an extruded window or door sash or frame. A rectangular frame having a peripheral front flange defines a front drain opening for abutment against a wall of the sash or frame in which a flap having a planar rear surface and a front surface is pivotally mounted for opening and closing the drain opening, the flap having upper and lower edges and side edges, and the flap upper edge being rounded with cylindrical lug extensions of the upper edge extending laterally of the flap side edges for insertion into round mating holes in side walls of the frame in proximity to the top wall of the frame. The flap pivots from a closed position on a diagonal rear wall upwardly to an open position adjacent the frame top wall in the front drain opening.

  • Patent number: 5761834
    Abstract: Footgear with an inner sole (66) having a grid of removable resilient elements to permit removal of selected elements (68) to provide relief to ulcerated or injured areas of the foot. An air bladder (64) may underlie sole (66), preferably with additional cushioning material (40) within the air bladder. A walker (12) with a soft support (20) may be provided with the inner sole within the support. Some of the removal resilient elements may have a higher density or height than others. The footgear may include an adhesively-backed resilient pad (212) to provide additional support to a region. The footgear may include means for reducing shear stress on a bottom surface of the foot. An edema patch (240) may be provided for covering an open space (248) left after a user has removed a removable section from the grid. The edema patch applies pressure to the afflicted zone of the foot (250) preventing fluids from building up.
