Abstract:
A removable platform assembly for a ladder. The platform assembly includes a platform of rectangular shape having sides and ends. One of the platform ends is positioned adjacent the ladder and the other is located away from the ladder in the direction of the structure supporting the ladder. A first channel attached to the platform and adapted to be seated on a rung of the ladder. A pair of legs attached to the opposite sides of the platform and extending downwardly from the platform. A second channel attached to the bottoms of the platform legs to seat on a lower rung of the ladder.
Abstract:
A thermal insulating material comprising a double-faced knitted glass fibre fabric in which the faces (16, 17) of the fabric are interconnected by at least one linking thread (18) which passes from one face (16) to the other (17).
Abstract:
A piece of upholstery fabric for covering three-dimensional supports such as vehicle seat bases and seat backs is machine knitted, preferably in a mainly double jersey structure, with integral tubular portions. These serve as anchorage devices for securing the fabric piece to the support which it is to cover using rods or tapes which are threaded through the tubular portions. The tubular portions may be located at the margins of the fabric piece and also at intermediate positions where the fabric piece needs to be held down, for example in a depression in the support. They may project from a surface of the fabric piece and may be like loops or they may be in the form of tubular hems or a tube lying between front and rear surfaces of a double jersey structure.
Abstract:
A fabric reinforcement for use with synthetic plastics material to produce a composite article is shaped to exhibit a tubular portion having a longitudinal axis, which can be curved, and at least one flange extending in the direction of the longitudinal axis. Using up to several interlinked tubular portions and a plurality of the flanges gives wide possibilities for the shape of the fabric reinforcing elements produced. Woven or knitted fabrics can be used.
Abstract:
Metal values are extracted from aqueous solutions of metal salts containing halide or pseudo halide ions by pyrimidine, pyrazine or pyridazine derivatives bearing the substituent --(C.dbd.O.X).sub.n where X is the group --OR.sub.1 or --NR.sub.2 R.sub.3 and n is 1, 2 or 3. R.sub.1 is a hydrocarbyl group containing from 1 to 36 carbon atoms and R.sub.2 and R.sub.2 together contain from 1 to 36 carbon atoms. The molecule as a whole contains from 5 to 36 alkyl carbon atoms and may carry further optional substituents. The process is especially useful for the recovery of metals from leach solutions derived from sulphur-containing ores.
Abstract:
A method of knitting a blank for a sleeved garment wherein the blank is knitted in one piece in the form of a cross starting at the waist of a body panel, subsequently knitting fabric constituting a sleeve and shoulder region of the blank and finally knitting a further body panel in the direction from the neck region to the waist. In knitting the portion of the first body panel above the arm pit level, progressively shorter courses are formed and in knitting the portion of the further body panel above the arm pit level, progressively longer courses are formed, whereby the outer parts of the sleeve and shoulder fabric are inclined with respect to the courses in the body panels.
Abstract:
A method of knitting a blank for a sleeved garment includes the steps of commencing knitting from an end of one sleeve and knitting in succession a single piece of fabric constituting this sleeve, a shoulder region of the garment and the second sleeve thereof with the wales of the knitting extending continuously through the sleeves and the shoulder region. Contemporaneously with the knitting of the first piece of fabric there is knitted a piece of fabric constituting the body of the garment which is started at an edge of the body part of the blank and has its wales extending across the body part. During the knitting of these pieces of fabric, at least a portion of the body part of the blank and the shoulder region are knitted so that courses are continuous between this body portion and the shoulder region, so that the blank comprises, in one piece of knitting, body, sleeve and shoulder parts of the garment.Various methods of knitting the blank are described which result in the sleeves, in the finished garment, either being disposed at right angles to the body or being downwardly inclined from the shoulder region.
Abstract:
A corner drywall section has a drywall corner extending vertically from a floor to a ceiling. Further, the corner drywall section has a first wing extending a first side of the drywall corner at a first angle such that the first wing extends horizontally to a first stud, the first wing extending vertically from the floor to the ceiling and a second wing extending from a second side of the drywall corner at a second angle such that the second wing extends horizontally to a second stud, the second wing extending vertically from the floor to the ceiling, wherein the drywall corner, the first wing, and the second wing are a unitary piece of drywall.
Abstract:
A tow service location system for hiring a tow service for a stranded vehicle includes the internet and a global positioning system (gps). Operational software comprising a tow service location app is installed and operational on a smart device. The location app includes a dispatch algorithm that is in communication with the user and potential towing operators via the internet and the gps. Moreover, the dispatch algorithm is in communication with a plurality of tow services each being located within a pre-determined distance from the smart device. The smart device is in communication with the gps to establish the physical location of the user. The web-enabled tow service location app identifies all of the available tow services within the agreed-upon pre-determined radius of the user and the costs associated with the selection of the service.
Abstract:
Knitted joins are made in double jersey knitted articles using a method which minimizes the effect of hole formation at the join. Single jersey edges are knitted along the edges to be jointed, being knitted on from one to six needles in each of the courses of knitting which form part of the edge of the join. The edgings need not extend along the whole length of the join. In a further embodiment superimposed strips of single jersey knitting are knitted between the edgings so as to split hole formation into two smaller series which are less noticeable. With this embodiment, one or both edgings can be omitted. The method is useful for upholstery fabric joins, particular for vehicle seat covers, where exposure of the padding is to be avoided.
