Title: Television or video monitors and cabinets therfor
Inventor: FREE DAVID J
IPC: A47B81/06
Filed: 2006-02-06
Abstract: The present invention relates to the so-called flat-screen television sets and video monitors and to cabinets therefor. Flat screen television sets and video monitors presently come in two different forms, namely those with a plasma screens on the one hand, and those with LCD screens on the other. In modern home design, in any living room in which a television or video monitor is positioned, the seating is generally angled, so that people can readily view the screen of such. Such an arrangement causes difficulties in that a television set or video monitor is a focus of the room, even when not in use.  Other problems exist in that the flat-screen display is not generally considered as an aesthetically pleasing design. Furthermore, having an expensive or moderately expensive item of electrical equipment on permanent display within a room can pose a security risk. The present invention provides an apparatus for use with a flat-screen display, the apparatus comprising: a fireplace surround, adapted to stand against a wall, in the form of a fireplace surround, comprising a mechanism operable to support a flat screen television in first and second positions, wherein the flat-screen display can be viewed above the fireplace surround in an operating position. The fireplace surround provides a natural focal point of the room.

Title: A method and apparatus for producing a seal including a portion having a wall of variable thickness
Inventor: OCERA ROSARIO
IPC: B29C48/475
Filed: 2005-09-07
Abstract: The method makes it possible to produce a seal (1) of an extruded plastics material, including a tubular section (3) with a wall of variable thick~ess (WT), using a distribution chamber having a terminal die plate (12) with an annular extrusion orifice (15) formed therein, corresponding to the cross section of the tubular section (3). A chamber (18) is formed in the distribution chamber in communication with the extrusion orifice (13) and into which an elastomeric material is fed for forming the tubular section (3). The chamber (18) of the distribution chamber is in open communication with the outside environment by a passage (21) which is separate from the extrusion orifice (13) and is provided to carry a flow of elastomeric material coming from the chamber (18). During extrusion, the output cross section of the elastomeric material through the passage (21) is varied so as to cause corresponding variations in the pressure of the elastomeric material in the chamber (18) and corresponding variations in the thickness of the wall (WT) of the tubular section (3) extrud through the extrusion orifice (13).
