Abstract: The invention relates to a washable paint comprising about 2.5 to 10 weight percent of a high molecular weight polyethylene glycol having a molecular weight between 2,000 and 20,000, a water swellable clay in the amount of 0.5 to 1.5 weight percent; and a high molecular weight cellulosic thickener in the amount of about 1.0 to 2.5 weight percent, wherein the high molecular weight cellulosic thickener has a viscosity between 500 and 15,000 cps tested as a 2% by weight solution in water at 25° C. using a Brookfield DV-II+ viscometer with a number 21 spindle and a speed of 2 rpm, and wherein the paint has a viscosity of between 5,000 and 50,000 cps tested on a Brookfield DV-II+ viscometer with a number 6 spindle at 10 rpm and 52° C.

Abstract: Absorbent pads with theft alarm activator elements concealed from view within each individual pad. These pads are designed for inclusion in a tray with a meat, fish or poultry product. The alarm activator element in each pad may be a strip or wire of magnetic material of suitable magnetic retentivity. In an alternative arrangement, a resonator may be used in conjunction with a magnetic strip which controls its resonant frequency. In the case of meat or poultry product pads, the element is cored into the pad between pluralities of laminated layers of tissue, cellulose, airlaid or composite. The element may be positioned between adjacent pairs of laminated tissues in a composite pad.

Abstract: A drafting apparatus having a linear edge with first and second wheel means associated with the edge to rotatably move the linear edge across a planar drafting surface and wherein the wheels are of differing diameter so as to have the linear edge move across an arc defined within a circle toward which the linear edge is always pointed. The center of that circle is the vanishing point as conventionally utilized with perspective drawing techniques.

Abstract: A display card having interconnected distinct panels in an "L"-shaped configuration cut or stamped from paperboard, cardboard, or the like, with cooperating printed matter positioned on selected portions thereof so that upon folding the panels about score lines the printed matter will cooperate to complete a picture as well as in some instances enabling motion to be imparted thereto by moving one of the panels relative to the other.

Abstract: A process for hanging framed articles utilizing a measuring device which has an elongated support with first and second moveable indicators. The process comprises vertically orienting the elongated support along a wall, moving the first indicator to a position corresponding to the desired placement of the top of the framed item, removing the elongated support from the wall and placing the first moveable indicator on the top of the framed item. The second moveable indicator is moved to a position corresponding to the hanging mechanism of the framed item. The elongated support is then again vertically aligned along the wall and the point for the location of a hanging device is located at the position of the second moveable indicator.
