Abstract:

A wide pocket curtain rod assembly comprising first and second rod members, each rod member having a first end and a second end, the rod members being slidably engageable via their second ends to form a telescoping curtain rod, each of the rod members having a crimp adjacent their first end which allows each of the members to be hand-bent into an L-shaped member with a facial section and a lateral section, first and second brackets, the brackets attachable to the lateral sections of the rod members for mounting the curtain rod, stiffening ridges, the stiffening ridges connected to the rod members, and an adjustable bracket having a mounting plate having a mounting face and an insert section, an elongated longitudinal aperture and a hand-operable fastener insertable in the aperture for fastening the mounting plate to the rod, wherein the mounting plate is fastened to the rod by inserting the fastener through a fastener hole in the rod and into the aperture.

International Classification:

B41J 304

US Classification:

197 1R

Abstract:

A method and apparatus for controlling the print rate of a column-sequential dot matrix printer actuated by an input signal comprising a sequence of code words occurring at a given maximum input rate, a print head and a print head drive operating at a speed determined by the frequency of a print rate timing signal, and a multi-stage FIFO input storage register. A multiplicity of constant-frequency print rate timing signals are generated, ranging in frequency from substantially below to substantially above a normal print rate frequency Fn approximately matched to the input rate, and a variable print rate timing signal progressively increasing in frequency from well below Fn to well above Fn is also generated; these signals are applied to the printer in accordance with a predetermined schedule, determined by the number of code words in storage at the beginning of each spacing character cycle, and in accordance with a program affording relatively smooth acceleration and deceleration of the print head. In continuing operation, the number of code words in storage is accumulated to a given level and maintained approximately at that level until the input is interrupted.

Inventors:

Richard B. Ryan - Libertyville IL

International Classification:

A44B 1300

US Classification:

24369

Abstract:

An adjustable drapery support assembly comprises a first elongated plate member adapted to be inserted into the top of a pleat or fold in a drapery, and a second plate member hinged at its top to the top of the first member, with the edges of the members in substantial alignment. At a point spaced from the hinge, the plates are provided with interlocking means to secure the assembly to the drapery. The aligned edges of the plates are provided with suitable gripping means which supports the top of the drapery and prevents downward sagging. Along a side edge of the second plate opposite that aligned with the first plate, there is provided an adjustable attaching means including a hook assembly which can be attached at any desired point along the length of the plate.

US Classification:

549541

Abstract:

A process for the distillation of the glycidyl ester reaction product of a straight or branched chain saturated monocarboxylic acid or salt thereof and an halo-substituted monoepoxidc is disclosed, wherein the reaction product is subjected to conditions of temperature and vacuum in a thin film, short pass distillation apparatus such as a wiped film evaporator. The product distillate has significantly reduced color than the reaction product prior to distillation, and has improved heat and color stability.

International Classification:

A47H 502

US Classification:

16 874R

Abstract:

Master carrier for a baton traversing drapery system comprises an elongated hanger adapted to be received in the horizontal gap of the conventional C-shaped type of traverse rod. The hanger element supports beneath the rod a platform having a rim along its outer edge which is inclined relative to the direction of travel. Spaced along the length of the inclined edge of the platform are a plurality of openings into which a drapery hook assembly can be installed and locked, by means of a clamp interacting with the rim of the platform. A pair of identical master carriers can be used to create an overlap in adjacent drapery panels without the necessity for using a projecting arm for this purpose. Attached to the outer face of the upper edge of the drapery is a baton which is attached to the drapery at substantially the point at which the drapery is suspended from the master carrier. Accordingly, when force is applied to the baton to move the drapery, little or no torque is created.

US Classification:

525441

Abstract:

Polyesterdiols having low viscosities of less than 3500 cps, high content of non-volatile matter in excess of 96 wt %, and narrow molecular weight distribution of less than about 1. 4 are prepared by esterification of one or more aliphatic dicarboxylic acids or ester derivatives thereof using at least a 1. 5 molar excess of one or more aliphatic diols until an acid number of less than 20 is achieved, and stripping excess diol from the polyesterdiol reaction product. Where esterification catalyst is used, catalyst is substantially removed prior to stripping excess unreacted diol from polyesterdiol reaction product. The polyesterdiols so produced are useful as (i) curable components in thermosettable resin compositions, particularly compositions essentially free of volatile organic solvent and also containing a crosslinking agent and a reactive hardening agent: and/or (ii) useful as coatings, paints and adhesives, providing coatings with very low content of volatile organic compounds.
