Abstract:
An improved paint pad assembly is provided with a painting surface contour that is changeable from concave to flat to convex so that the paint pad can paint exterior corners, flat surfaces and interior corners with equal ease. The one-piece paint pad features handpieces disposed on the opposing edges of the paint pad. The two-piece embodiment features an inverted U-shaped handle mounted to the opposing side edges of the paint pad via a tab and lock configuration. The paint pad is hinged in the longitudinal direction thereby enabling the pad surface to extend outwardly for painting an interior corner and inwardly for painting an exterior corner with equal ease.
Abstract:
Apparatus for folding a web of sheet material moving along a given linear path comprise three longitudinally spaced plates forming an overall slot having a base portion through which the central portion of the web passes, and short reversely curved slot portions at the ends of the base portion which join outer end slot portions which fold the opposite longitudinal edge portions of the web toward each other. The outermost of the plates having large aligned apertures whose margins fall along the outer margins of the slot. The plate between the outermost plates has a tongue with margins which fall along the inner margin of the slot.
Abstract:
A sash lock mechanism includes a handle, a housing adapted to be supported by a sash window assembly, the housing having an opening receiving the handle therethrough, and a rotor coupled to the handle. The rotor is moveable between at least a locked position and an unlocked position by movement of the handle. The sash lock mechanism also includes a locking mechanism that contains a pivotable member pivotably connected to the housing. The pivotable member is pivotable between a first position and a second position. When the rotor is in the locked position and the pivotable member is in the first position, the pivotable member confronts the rotor to prevent movement of the rotor to the unlocked position. When the pivotable member is in the second position, the pivotable member does not prevent movement of the rotor.
