Title: Easy-open flexible bag for compressed articles
Inventor: SCHMIDT EDWARD HALE
IPC: B65D85/07
Filed: 1994-11-30
Abstract: An improved top opening rectan-gular flexible bag (10) for containing stack of highly compressed flexible articles (20). The bag has front and back panels (40,41), two side panels (30 31) and top and bottom panels (50,51), all of which are connected together to form an inter-nal compartment (19) for containing the stack under high compression. The stack is arranged within the bag in such a way that the side panels are under tension. The line of weakness (5) defines the entire top portion of the bag which can be easily re-moved, thus exposing the entire contents of the bag for easy removal. The improve-ment to the bag is that the line of weak-ness is applied to the front and back panel of the bag simultaneously, thus providing perfect alignment of the lines of weakness where they intersect the side seals of the bag. The bag is further improved with a notch (103) where the line of weakness intersects the side seal (102) thus signifi-cantly reducing the force to initiate the tear through the bead of plastic created by the side seal. A further improvement is that the line of weakness is applied in the ma-chine direction as the bag is manufactured, thus requiring a simple, inexpensive. ro-tary cutting tool rather than an expensive, reciprocating die and without negatively impacting line speeds.

Patent CA-2184771-A1 (CA)
Inventor: RICARDO GEORGE L
IPC: H04B1/38
Filed: 1996-09-04
Abstract: Cross-over modulation between radio frequency circuits and audio circuits is minimized in a wireless portable transceiver by locating all audio circuitry in a first section of the portable transceiver and all radio frequency circuitry in a second, separate section of the portable transceiver. In view of modality considerations in small portable transceivers, an audio signal is either radiated or received in the vicinity of the radio frequency circuitry. Isolation of the audio signal is achieved by routing this signal while in its acoustic form. Since audio signals in an electrical form are not routed around or near the radio frequency circuitry, cross-over modulation does not occur between the radio frequency circuitry and the audio circuitry.

Abstract: An emergency lighting fixture combining the functions of an illuminated sign such as an exit sign and an emergency lighting unit integrated into one housing onto which one or more emergency light can be mounted at predetermined locations of the housing, the combined emergency lighting structure providing both exit location information and ambient emergency lighting in a single cooperatively operating device.  The present device replaces bulky prior combinations of discrete exit signs and emergency lighting units which have been assembled together essentially as individual devices without integration into a single housing or without substantial integration of operational features, the housing of the present device being only slightly larger than standard exit signage. The present fixture is preferably formed from light weight materials such as polycarbonate/ABS or sheet metal configured to mount in tension internal weight such as weight due to enlarged battery mass and the like as well as externally mounted emergency lights.  Manufacture of the present fixture is improved by the ability to mold major portions of the fixture from suitable polymeric materials, thereby allowing formation of substantial portions of the fixture located internally of the housing integrally with the housing to substantially reduce the number of parts necessary to be assembled together in an assembly situation.          Assembly, installation and maintenance of a molded fixture according to the invention is further improved by the ability to snap-fit together all structural elements of the fixture both internally and externally of the housing.
