Title: Systeme de deflexion et procede associe
Inventor: WALTERS ARNOLD BRUCE
IPC: E04D13/072
Filed: 2002-06-07
Abstract: Dans un système de recueil et de déflexion de la pluie, une tablette s'étend vers l'intérieur d'un chéneau depuis sa paroi frontale de rétention et coopère avec la lèvre d'une cavité formée dans un crochet afin d'assurer la stabilité structurelle et permettre la fixation facultative d'un déflecteur. La cavité du crochet présente une lèvre de fixation dont une partie s'étend au-dessus de la partie de la tablette s'étendant vers l'intérieur de la paroi frontale de rétention, ce qui assure une capacité de rétention d'eau fonctionnelle du chéneau tout en permettant de fixer le crochet à la paroi dorsale allongée du chéneau et d'incliner le déflecteur. Le crochet peut présenter des cavités correspondant aux déflecteurs s'ouvrant les unes vers les autres et permettant de fixer le déflecteur par pression. Dans l'exécution préférée le déflecteur se fixe à un chéneau constitué où les crochets sont en place ce qui permet de transporter l'ensemble chéneau-déflecteur formant un tout du site de fabrication au lieu d'installation. L'invention porte également sur les procédés associés d'installation.

Patent CA-2489118-A1 (CA)
Title: Label with clear adhesive portion
Inventor: MILLER RICHARD T
IPC: G09F3/10
Filed: 2004-12-03
Abstract: One aspect of the present invention relates to a label comprising both an adhesive portion and a non-adhesive portion. The adhesive portion of the label may be transparent so as not to occlude any pre-existing information on a manufacturer-supplied package once applied to the manufacturer's package. The non-adhesive portion of the label may contain bar-coded information, as well as human readable text, and may protrude from the product for the purposes of applying the bar-coded information to a previously non-bar-coded product. The label may be flexible, thus allowing the folding or rolling of the non-adhesive portion for the purposes of decreasing the storage space required for the manufacturer product that has had the new label attached and allowing the adhesive portion to conform to the product to which it is attached. Because of the rules governing abstracts, this abstract should not be used to construe the claims.
