  • Patent number: 4936594
    Abstract: A compact portable entertainment center 10 is disclosed and includes a stereo component 30 supported on a speaker cabinet 13 and supported by and attached to a tubular frame 11. A seat member 28 and a serving tray 31 are attached to frame 11 in spaced relationship to each other and to the stereo component. An umbrella 49 is releasably attached to bent ends of the tubular frame and spans the folding tray, seat, stereo and speaker cabinet structure. Upon removal of the umbrella unit, the bent ends of the tubular frame are rotated 180.degree. and serve as handles, which coupled with a pair of wheels 20,21 permit the frame to serve as a dolly for manual movement of the entertainment center for the selective indoor/outdoor use.

  • Patent number: 4260147
    Abstract: A conveyor positioner arrangement for sequentially controlling the positioning of flexible plastic film products in a substantially stationary position on a stacker input station, with gaseous discharge means being utilized to provide certain of the control for the film product, and including means for establishing a Bernoulli effect pressure reduction along a plane beneath the flexible plastic film product. The gaseous discharge means establishing a Bernoulli effect reduction comprises a plurality of generally parallelly arranged spaced apart nozzles which have their respective discharge orifices disposed generally beneath the plane of travel of the flexible plastic film products to deliver a flow of compressed gaseous fluid, such as air, along such plane.
