Abstract: An adjustable mirror mounting bracket including a stationary bracket member and a movable bracket member slidably mounted on the stationary bracket member. The stationary bracket member has two rows of corrugations and an opening for receiving a mounting screw between the rows, and the movable bracket member has two fingers for engaging a respective row of detents while by-passing the head on the mounting screw.

Abstract: A press-on type finger pull for application to the face of sliding panels. The finger pull comprises a rigid body having a rear mounting surface and a front surface wider than the rear mounting surface and side surfaces that extend forwardly and outwardly from the rear mounting surface to form a narrow finger contact edge adjacent the front surface and a fingernail receiving recess rearwardly of the finger contact edge. Abutment ribs extend transverse to each side surface and have a rear face generally coplanar with the mounting surface and an abutment face extending transverse of the plane of the mounting surface between the rear face and the finger contact edge. A thin layer of pressure sensitive adhesive is provided on the rear mounting face for attaching the finger pull to a panel.

Abstract: A finger pull for attachment to intersecting relatively transverse side and edge faces of a panel and which has a main base portion and an auxiliary base portion integrally connected along one edge of the main base portion. The main base portion has a flat mounting face at one side and the auxiliary base portion has a flat mounting face at one side that is disposed coplanar with the mounting face of the main base portion. A layer of pressure sensitive adhesive is adhered to the mounting faces of the main and auxiliary base portions and the connecting portion is made sufficiently thin to bend and allow the auxiliary base portion to be moved to a position extending transverse to the main base portion.

Abstract: A door hinge shim for use with hinge mounted doors to control the spacing beween first and second members that are interconnected by a set of threaded fasteners. The shim plate has slots opening in one of its edges at locations to receive the shanks of the fasteners and a shim installing handle is formed integrally with the shim plate and extends outwardly therefrom to facilitate manipulation of the shim plate during installation. A line of weakness is formed in the handle at its juncture with the shim plate to facilitate breaking of the handle off the shim plate after installation. Teeth are provided on one or more of the slots in the shim plate to engage the shanks of the hinge plate mounting fastener and to hold the shim plate in adjusted position.

Abstract: A magnetically operated door chime adapted for mounting on a door and door frame. The door chime includes a casing adapted for mounting on the door frame and having a plunger assembly mounted for reciprocation along a horizontal path perpendicular to the plane of the door when the door is closed. The plunger assembly includes a first magnetic unit on its outer end arranged in face-to-face contact with a second magnetic unit on the door, when the door is closed. A chime bar extends across the path of movement of the other end of the plunger assembly and a spring yieldably biases the plunger assembly in a direction toward the chime bar.

Abstract: A press-on type finger pull for application to the face of glass panels and the like comprising a rigid body of transparent material having a mounting surface embossed in a pattern to define ridges separated by shallow recesses with the apices of the ridges coplanar. A thin preformed layer of pressure sensitive adhesive having a sheet of peelable cover material on one side has its other side adhered to the ridges of the embossed mounting surface and extends across the recesses above the base of the recesses to disperse air bubbles.

Abstract: A metal mirror mounting clip of the type having a back plate, a forwardly extending flange on one end of the back plate and lip on the forward edge of the flange. The back plate has a slot for receiving a headed mounting screw and a pair of integral mirror guide shoes spaced from opposite sides of the slot and defining guide surfaces spaced forwardly from the back plate a distance greater than the height of the head of the screw.

Abstract: A showcase lock for sliding doors including a keeper plate attached to one door and a lock adjustable along the keeper plate to lock the doors in a closed position. The keeper plate has inwardly directed flanges along opposite side edges defining opposed grooves and a row of stops between the flanges and the lock has outwardly directed flanges along opposite side edges slidably receivable in the opposed grooves on the keeper plate. The lock has a rotary key operated plug, a cam on the inner end of the plug, and a resilient U-shaped latch member mounted for rocking movement about an axis crosswise of the plug between a locked and an unlocked position.

Abstract: A mirror mounting device comprising at least one mirror mounting bracket having a mounting plate portion and a mirror hook at one end of the mounting plate portion, and an elongated longitudinally channeled mounting strip having a lengthwise extending intermediate wall portion and flange portions along the lengthwise edges of the intermediate wall portion and outturned lip portions on the flange portions disposed in a plane parallel to but offset from the intermediate wall portion. The flange portions of the strip are formed with slots that register in a direction crosswise of the strip, and the mounting plate portion of the mirror mounting bracket extends through the registering pair of slots in the flange portions and between the intermediate wall portion and the first and second lip portions for adjustment in a direction crosswise of the mounting strip.

Abstract: A mirror mounting bracket including a stationary bracket member adapted for attachment to a wall and a movable bracket member having an integral mirror engaging hook. The bracket members each have a generally rectangular body portion and guides along opposite sides of the body portions slidably supporting the movable bracket member on the stationary bracket member with the body portions laterally spaced apart to provide a cavity therebetween. A spring member is positioned in the cavity crosswise of the path of movement with end portions of the spring attached to one bracket member and an intermediate portion engaged by the other bracket member to progressively distend the spring member in response to relative movement between the bracket members. The stationary bracket member has a screw receiving aperture in the body portion and can be directly mounrted on a wall surface.

Abstract: A hand tool for opening the tapered plastic dispensing tip on material dispensing cartridges which includes first and second lever members pivotally interconnected at one end and each having a handle with finger receiving openings at the other end to enable operation of the tool with one hand, one lever member having a blade portion intermediate its ends formed with a plurality of openings of relatively different size corresponding to the external cross-section of the tapered tip at different locations therealong, and the other of the lever members having a sharpened blade adapted to shear off a portion of the tapered dispensing tip when it is inserted through one of the openings. A probe is provided on the tool adapted for insertion through the dispensing tip to rupture the seal in the cartridge.

Abstract: A lock for locking by-passing type slidable closure panels in a closed position with adjacent ends of the panels in spaced overlapping relation. The lock includes a lock housing mounted on one of the panels and having a lock plug mounted for axial sliding and rotary movement about an axis perpendicular to the panels, and an elongated keeper on the other of the panels. The lock plug has a rotary latch member on its forward end engageable with the keeper when the plug is extended and rotated to a preselected position to hold the plug in its extended position, and the plug also has latch means at its forward end engageable with the keeper to lock the plug and keeper against relative movement in one direction crosswise of the plug axis. The lock housing and keeper are advantageously adhesively secured to the inner and outer panels respectively so that the lock and keeper can be mounted without requiring drilling of the panels and the lock and keeper remain in position on the panels when unlocked.
