  • Publication number: 20190264866
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for safely hanging holiday lights/ornaments on buildings, which comprises supports, hooks, and a hanger. The support is typically a ferromagnetic or weak magnet core in a male or female fashion and a screw-hole to attach to eaves, other parts of a building, or another cross support. The hanger is attached to a paint stick or broom handle, has an orientated strong or electro, magnet in a male or female shape matching against the hook. The hook, directly or indirectly, connects to holiday lights, ornament, etc, has a weak orientated magnet, along with opposing sides designed to connect to both the support and the hanger. Assuming a string of holiday lights, the first hook is attached manually to the hanger and the hook is then attached to the first support. While the string will dangle down with hooks interspersed, the hanger can magnetically grab the next hook, and then be used to attach that hook to the next support.

  • Patent number: 8343631
    Abstract: Low-gloss, two-component clear coats include a base resin including a urethane resin, an isocyanate resin that combines with the base resin immediately prior to application of the low -gloss, two-component clear coat to form a two-component base resin mixture, wherein the two-component base resin mixture comprises from about 20 weight percent to about 40 weight percent urethane resin and from about 20 weight percent to about 40 weight percent isocyanate resin, and a silica-based flattener, wherein the silica-based flattener comprises from about 5 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of the two-component base resin mixture to about 20 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of the two-component base resin mixture, wherein the low-gloss, two-component clear coat has a 60° gloss finish from 22 gloss units to 34 gloss units when cured.

  • Patent number: 4048832
    Abstract: A separating device for separating the ring-shaped press skin from a composite extrusion disc comprising a press disc and a stripper disc, especially for copper containing alloys and difficult to press metals and alloys, according to which the press disc is spaced from the stripper disc by an annular intermediate space for receiving the press skin. The device includes a separating head with a passage or recess into which project two blocks located opposite to each other. When the combined extrusion disc on its way through the passage passes between these blocks the projecting blocks enter the intermediate space for stripping off the press skin. The distance between the straight guiding means of the blocks is located within a range of from the length of the inner diameter of the combined extrusion disc to a length composed of the length of the inner diameter plus about the thickness of the press skin.

  • Patent number: 4043163
    Abstract: A device for removing the press rest from the front side of a press disc for extruding tubes which has a substantially plane rear surface opposite the front side of the press disc. This disc comprises supporting means for supporting and holding the press disc from which is stripped a press rest. The device also comprises shearing means having a shearing surface which, when the press disc from which the press rest is to be stripped, rests on the supporting means, defines an obtuse angle with the rear surface of the disc. The disc and the shearing means are movable relative toward each other so as to cause the shearing means in response to such movement to strip the press rest off the press disc.
