A sign having a display section and a support member that can be removably secured to the display section. The support may be secured within a pocket or receptacle formed in the display section. The pocket may be created in the display section by portions of adhesive, including hot melt adhesive and pressure sensitive adhesive. The pocket allows a smaller support member than conventional wire frames while holding the display section above the ground at a height similar to conventional frames.

An animal puzzle bowl is disclosed having a plurality of sockets and a lid with a coupling joint configured to couple with those sockets in a plurality of orientations. The lid may include elements such as a lip or grip for an animal to interact with to allow for opening of the lid so the animal may reach the contents of the bowl. The lids may also include holes so the animal may be encouraged to interact with the bowl by the sight or smell of food or other items of interest. The bowl base can include more than one bowl to allow for a combination of lids to be used. By varying the combination and orientation of the lids an animal must problem solve to reach a desired item in the bowl each time, thus mentally stimulating the animal.

A sign having a display section formed from two pliable sheets and a frame assembly having members joined by various connector pieces. The connector pieces may include couplers and corner pieces. The connector pieces may be used to construct the frame assembly. The connector pieces may also be used to stow the frame assembly when the sign is not in use or being packaged for shipment and also during shipment. For example, the connector pieces may cover the ends of frame assembly members to keep them organized and to keep the members from piercing packaging or other parts of the sign.

A single pass process and apparatus for manufacturing a folded yard sign from a pre-cut sheet previously coated on both sides with a fusible polymer includes the steps of printing an image on an outside of the sheet, curing the image, scoring the printed sheet, folding the scored sheet, ultrasonically sealing regions along side edges of the folded sheet, and stacking the sealed sheets, which are finished sign products ready for packaging. The ultrasonic sealing fuses the polymer coated inside surfaces along the edges of the folded sheet. The sealed side edges form a sign support receiving pocket in the finished sign member in cooperation with a folded edge of the sign member.

A rifle scope vertical alignment apparatus includes first and second plates, each with a bottom surface shaped as an inverted V. A vertically oriented elongate slot is formed in one of the first and second plates and a receiving channel is formed in one of the first and second plates to slidably engage the other of the first and second plates. A level is positioned on one of the first and second plates such that it is visible from a rear surface of the apparatus. A threaded screw extends through the slot and into a threaded bore on the other of the first and second plates so that the plates can be held in a selected position relative to each other with the inverted V bottom surfaces aligned. The alignment method involves positioning the inverted bottom V of the first plate of the alignment apparatus atop the rifle barrel just in front of the objective end of the scope, placing the inverted V bottom surface of the second plate atop the scope barrel and then tightening the threaded screw. The rifle, scope and alignment apparatus are then leveled and a user sights through the scope at an external vertical reference line and rotatably adjusts the scope until the vertical reticle is precisely aligned with the external vertical reference line and then tightens the scope in position.

A badge having an attachment assembly for securing to wearing apparel, paramagnetic surfaces or the like includes a pin, clip or magnetic mounting assembly secured to the badge. The attachment assembly is mounted on a central post to facilitate automated placement of the mounting assembly on the post. A latching pin mechanism for use as the attachment assembly includes a loop for mounting on the central post and spring biased pin offset from the loop to allow the badge to hang appropriately even though supported by the central post. Alternative embodiments utilize a magnet, slide-on clip or biased jaw alligator clip as the attachment assembly.

A vacuum take-off conveyor is used to transfer a printed sheet from a delivery conveyor to a sheet stacking apparatus. The vacuum conveyor has a vacuum chamber structure with an inner chamber. A vacuum source is connected to the chamber structure, near a first end thereof, and operates to create a pressure differential between the chamber and the surrounding atmosphere. The chamber structure is provided with longitudinal slots in a bottom wall to provide air communication from the atmosphere into the chamber. An endless foraminous belt is received onto the chamber structure to form a continuous loop from the first end to a second end thereof, and is rotated by a drive pulley. A damper, such as an adjustable damper plate, is situated within the chamber so as to produce a high vacuum region near the vacuum source between the damper plate and the first end of the chamber structure, and a low vacuum region between the damper plate and the chamber structure second end. Additionally, side walls of the chamber structure have a plurality of orifices therethrough, which apertures can be selectively closed or opened to affect the relative pressure differential between the high and low vacuum regions and the surrounding atmosphere.
