Title: Curtain rod support system
Inventor: LEE HAN-SEN
IPC: A47H1/102
Filed: 2002-07-10
Abstract: A curtain rod support system includes a support member and a mounting plate attachable to a supporting structure with a pair of screws. The mounting plate has a fixed member, and preferably a threaded member extending therefrom and engageable with the support member, virtually eliminating the need for additional, trial and error adjustment of the mounting plate with respect to the supporting structure. The mounting plate is first affixed to the support structure using the pair of screws, the fixed screw of the mounting plate is inserted into a blind bore in the support member, and the support member is rotated until the screw has essentially fully advanced within the bore. The support member has a second bore completely therethrough and through which a curtain rod may be extended so that the support member bears the weight of the curtain rod and suspended draperies. A finial may be attached to the end of the curtain rod for decorative purposes and to further secure the curtain rod within the bore of the support member.

IPC: H02K15/00
Filed: 2002-09-04
Abstract: A heating oven for use in dynamo-electric machine component manufacture is provided. The oven uses forced air heating to raise the temperature of in-process component subassemblies to suitable process temperatures.      The heating oven includes a rotating drum mounted in a cabinet. A number of open-ended tubular cradles are disposed in circular arrays between the drum faces.      Batches of component subassemblies may be individually loaded into the cradles for heat treatment. Air flow channels are set up in the oven cabinet to evenly distribute heated air through individual cradles. Heated air after passing over the individual in-process subassemblies, exits the cradles through side slots in the cradle walls into the interior of the drum. The exiting air is reheated and recirculated through the heating oven.

Patent CA-2412090-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MATTER DANIEL
IPC: G01F3/22
Filed: 2001-05-31
Abstract: The invention relates to a gas meter for determining the consumption of a gas mixture. The inventive gas meter determines sensor signal values proportionately in relation to a throughflow rate and is adjusted for use as an energy-measuring device. The adjustment is based on a base mixture. When the consumption of gas is measured, a measured energy consumption value is multiplied with a correction factor which takes into account the heating value of a particular gas mixture at least approximately. This heating value is determined by an external unit. This enables the effective energy relationship to be established for the gas consumption using a simple, economical gas meter. An invoice can then be produced according to this relationship.
