Abstract: A seating system which includes a seating unit formed with a plurality of openings in the seat and back. Each of these openings is designed for selectively receiving a specially designed seat pad. The inventive seat pad includes a base portion suitable for being disposed over the opening and a stem portion for being disposed through the opening, such that the seat pad unit is fixably retained in the opening.

Abstract: A remote control for a locking device, especially in a motor vehicle, including a control or operating unit for the transmitting of key words to the evaluating circuit of a reading unit fora comparison with key words which are stored therein. The remote control arrangements are equipped with counters for the call-up in a system-time controlled manner of the key words which are stored in the control and reading units.

Abstract: The invention features, either separately or in combination, a mounting member and an elongated strip of resilient material which strip is secured in and partially surrounds the mounting member, where the resilient strip member has a semi-cylindrical body with a pair of circumferentially facing edge portions. The resilient strip also includes a pair of oppositely disposed, radially-inwardly extending latch members, each extending longitudinally of the latch member and located between one of the edge portions and a point away from the mid-line of the semi-cylindrical body. The mounting member includes a web portion having a pair of oppositely disposed web-latch extensions extending across a chord of the semi-cylindrical body, substantially parallel to a tangent to the circumference of the semi-cylindrical body at its mid-line, and at least one leg member extending from the web portion away from the semi-cylindrical body.

Abstract: A signage system support structure formed from a pair of identical preferably extruded multi-grooved channel members. A connecting element in the form of an elongate rigid panel inserted into an unconstricted medial groove of each channel serves to join two channels. Each channel is additionally formed with a constricted medial groove, a pair of outwardly facing grooves and a pair of lateral grooves on each side of and parallel to the medial grooves. In use the upper and/or lower edges of a sign to be supported are engaged in one or more of the channel grooves with a flat sign having either opposed edges encased in the lateral grooves or a free edge in the constricted medial groove, and an arcuate sign having its edges engaged in the outwardly facing grooves. The signs or supported displays may be formed with engaging tabs displaceable out of the plane of the sign to engage in a groove.

Abstract: An applicator device comprises two casing parts pivotally connected for movement between a longitudinally aligned closed position and a folded open position, one of said casing parts providing a tape supply chamber and the other providing a chamber for receiving and accumulating the tape after use. A flexible member anchored on the one casing part extends between the casing parts for forming a backing for the exposed material when the casing parts are relatively pivoted to said open position, and the flexible member at the same time acts to advance material out of the supply chamber and toward the other casing part. Unidirectional pawls in the other casing part are effective when the casing parts are relatively pivoted to closed position for preventing retraction of the tape.

Abstract: A device for displaying and storing articles includes a wall structure which defines at least one chamber which is open at one end and which is adapted to receive in its interior a plurality of articles arranged one behind the other with one of the articles situated nearer to the open end of the chamber than the other articles. A pusher engages in the chamber that one of the articles which is most distant from the open end of the chamber, and a spring structure cooperates with the pusher to urge the latter toward the open end of the chamber so that the pusher tends to advance the articles out of the chamber through the open end thereof. A retainer structure is situated at the open end of the chamber for retaining the articles therein in such a way that the particular article which is nearest to the open end of the chamber can be manually removed therefrom, whereupon all of the articles are advanced by the pusher until the next article occupies the space previously occupied by the withdrawn article.
