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. In addition, corner pockets are located near the clothes hangers to assist in holding the clothes in place, criss-cross straps are provided for the same purpose, and straps at the bottom of the bag hold long garments in place. Further, the bag hanging hook extending from the top of the bag can be adjustably positioned to hold the bag in folded position.
摘要:
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.

A system for converting wind power to electrical energy has a peripheral frame, sails interconnected to the peripheral frame, radial struts extending from the hub to the peripheral frame, wheels mounted on the peripheral frame, electric generators interconnected with respective wheels, and a hub about which the peripheral frame is rotatable. The hub is in electrical communication with the electric generators. Sails may be interconnected with the peripheral frame on respective masts, each mast having a base and the mast being pivotable about the base. The electric generators may be mounted on a variety of locations, such as the peripheral frame. Each electric generator may be interconnected with a respective wheel via a belt, a chain or other mechanism. The system may include arrangements to generate electricity from sunlight.

A carry-on case comprising a packing compartment defined by a lower textile panel and a zipper track that extends along a bottom edge of the packing compartment. Packing compartment is accessible from the top of the case via a three sided zipper track extending along the top edge, right, and left sides of the packing compartment to permit all-sided access therein.

Disclosed is a method and system for compressing and automatically expanding an expandable luggage case 2 comprising a ratchet mechanism 8 and a bungee cord 32, that is used to bias a locking mechanism, in the form of detents 54 that mate with teeth 44, in a locked position, and to bias a jack mechanism 14 for automatic expansion. The bungee cord 32 biases the ratchet compressor system 8 in an expanded state. Thus, automatic expansion is achieved, in a very easy to use manner. In addition to being operated while the luggage case 2 is open, the ratchet compressor 8 is also operable from the outside of the luggage case 2 once the luggage case 2 has been packed and closed. A user may then compress the luggage case 2 simply by applying pressure to the lid 24. The ratchet compressor system 8 therefore provides a zipper-less, automated method of expanding a luggage case 2 as well as compressing the luggage case 2 once the luggage case 2 has been closed.
摘要:
A metal detection system and method to reduce damage due to the introduction of metal into microwave dryers of fluid ejection systems. One embodiment of the invention causes paper pick-up rollers and feed rollers to stop when metal is detected. Another embodiment causes the electromagnetic field in the microwave dryer to be turned off when metal is in the drying cavity of the microwave dryer.

A ventable capping and priming assembly is provided for capping a nozzle face of an ink jet printhead so as to enable sealed priming of the printhead, as well as venting of the printhead to relieve defect causing pressures therefrom during non-priming periods. The ventable capping and priming assembly includes a capping member including a sealing member for sealing engagement with the nozzle face of the ink jet printhead, and a capping member mounted to the capping member and including a priming recess and a vacuum path formed therein. Further, the ventable capping and priming assembly includes a venting path formed from an outside surface of the capping member, and through the capping member, into the priming recess for venting the nozzle face of the ink jet printhead being capped, thereby relieving the nozzle face of the ink jet printhead of defect causing capping pressures during non-priming periods.

A storage container for temporarily storing an ink jet printhead cartridge during periods of non-use, the container including an improved nozzle capping mechanism which permits a variable range of forces to be applied to obtain the necessary sealing. The membrane is characterized by having, on one surface, a ribbed section which encircles the nozzle area to form a sealing perimeter. The other surface of the membrane has a shallow recess formed beneath the ribbed section, the recess providing for inward deflection along the ribbed area, the ribbed section maintaining an effective seal throughout a deflectable range. The arrangement solves a prior art problem of membrane buckling when excessive force is applied.
