Abstract: A hanger support trolley assembly which allows conventional clothes hangers to be loaded onto a support even though corner pockets in the garment bag are closely spaced on either side of the assembly. In one embodiment the hangers are supported on a sleeve slidably mounted on a support rod. When the sleeve is extended, hangers can be placed on the sleeve, and when closed a flange on the outer end of the sleeve retains the hangers in place. In another embodiment, the hangers are supported directly on a support rod, and the space surrounding the free end of the rod is guarded by one or more biased jaws of a spring clip. In both embodiments a concave overhead surface closely spaced from the arcuate rod prevents the hangers from being permanently transversely dislodged from the support.

Abstract: A flexible garment bag of the type which can be hung or held vertically or which can be folded transversely midway between the ends and carried by a handle like a suitcase. The front of the bag has an access panel attached at the bottom by a fold to allow it to be moved to open position. Detachable connections allow the access panel to be closed. When closed, a handle on the outside of the access panel allows the bag to be carried like a suitcase. Unlike other designs which put the handle on the back panel, this arrangement permits suits to be loaded in the usual way, but when the bag is folded the suits are folded with the lapels up instead of down, thus limiting wrinkling. A rigid folding bar in the back panel of the bag facilitates folding of the bag and the hanging garments in the bag.

Abstract: An aqueous guidepath coating composition includes a fluorescent dye, and an acrylic ionomer, and is particularly useful in positional control of and positional detection by stimulated emission-guided Automated Guidance Vehicles (AGV). This coating, used to mark the actual position of the guidance track to be followed by the AGV, affords unexpected improvements over previous guidepath compositions in removal and reapplication characteristics, in post-application durability and in substrate aesthetics.

Abstract: An article of luggage includes a garment bag enclosure and a packing case enclosure which advantageously cooperate with one another in a transportation state or condition and a use state or condition. The packing case enclosure is preferably connected to an inner panel of the garment bag enclosure. In the transportation condition, the garment bag enclosure folds over the top of the packing case enclosure and the luggage article is easily transported by carrying devices attached preferably to the exterior panel of the garment bag enclosure. In the use orientation, the interior panel of the garment bag enclosure is disconnected, and the packing case enclosure moves or pivots outward to an extended orientation. A divider panel provides access to the interior of the packing case enclosure while access to the garment bag enclosure is simultaneously available as a result of the detachment of the interior panel.

Abstract: Garment bags often include a door hook depending from the strap at one end of the bag to hold the bag in an extended linear condition while suspended from the top edge of a door or the like. It has been known to use this hook and strap combination to hold the garment bag in a closed or suitcase configuration. While such closure systems have been somewhat effective, such systems have been known to inadvertently release the door hook. Such closure systems have had substantial aesthetic and manufacturing problems. The disclosed closure system includes a door hook retainer loop patch which is simple to manufacture and forms an interesting and pleasing design element of the overall bag. This patch comprises a rectangular patch base fixedly attached to one end of the garment bag. This patch base has a length of webbing passing in a sinuous path through a series of aligned slots to present an aligned series of equal sized and spaced hook retaining loops.

Abstract: A garment bag adapted to fold into a suitcase-like configuration for traveling includes corner compartments located within the interior bag in the space above the shoulders of garments supported on hangers within the bag. Cross straps extend over the shoulders of garments supported on hangers in the bag, and criss-cross over the upper portion of the garment. The cross straps support the upper portion of the garments on the hangers and restrain them against sliding downward when the bag is in the folded configuration. A stay bar is removably connected across the middle portion of the bag to support the garments when the bag is folded into the suitcase-like configuration. The ends of the straps are connected to the stay bar. A lower portion of an interior panel of the garment bag includes means for supporting the lower portions of long garments in a U-shaped configuration above a bottom gussett of the bag instead of occupying the bottom of the bag in a wrinkled bunch.

Abstract: A comparatively low heat differential is utilized for energy generation wherein flow of a fluid from a low temperature reservoir to a high temperature reservoir is maintained by the weight of the fluid, for example through utilization of centrifugal force provided as the vaporized fluid from the high temperature reservoir operates a gas turbine. Evaporation cooling is preferably employed in establishing the temperature differential.
