A growing frame for plants is provided wherein the framework consists of aluminum members which support a plastic netting. Single or multiple sections can be provided and a simple method is provided for fastening the netting to the frame and adjusting the tension on the netting.

An adjustable frame assembly for releasably clamping fabric material for needlework in which four identical frame members are detachable and adjustable relative to each other to form a frame of a selected size and which employs clamping elements cooperating with the frame to hold fabric material in a taut relationship to the frame without puncturing the fabric.

The frame device comprises a main body portion having a pair of oppositely disposed limb members joined in a fixed position to the main body portion when the frame devices is in an assembled condition. One or both limb members are either movable on the main body portion or detached therefrom when the frame device is in an unassembled condition. Frame members incorporating the structure of the frame device are assembled to form a closed peripheral arrangement for framing an artwork and/or other m...

A card has a frame including two parallel-spaced, rigidly supported side walls having lateral surfaces, a lickerin and a doffer disposed between the side walls and mounted on the lateral surfaces thereof; and carding organs situated between the lickerin and the doffer. At least some of these carding organs are, with their lateral end faces, disposed immediately adjacent the lateral surface of the respective side wall and are laterally mounted on the side walls.

A bed frame has a pair of tubular side members joined by a pair of laterally extending tubular cross members. Attached to each end of a tubular side member is a clamp formed from sheet stock. Each pair of clamps rigidly joins a headboard or a footboard to the frame. A set of tubular feet extends perpendicularly downward from the lateral cross members.

An interconnecting spacer is interposed between a pair of channel members, each having a central portion and substantially normally extending flanges. The spacer is H-shaped in cross section, having a central cross-bar and a pair of lateral side walls. The ends of the side walls and flanges of the channel members have cooperative engagement means. A plug is inserted within the cavities formed by the spacer and the channel members having a dimension such that the engagement means are placed under...

A space frame formed from a first set of beams and joints in a first plane and a second set of beams and joints in a second plane, the joints in the two planes being interconnected by diagonal tubular struts. Each strut has two shafts at opposite ends which are received, respectively, in apertures in a joint in the first plane and a joint in the second plane. Each shaft has a fastening member coupled thereto for maintaining the shaft in the aperture. Each shaft extends along the longitudinal axi...

A fiber reinforced plastic racket frame advantageously usable for a tennis racket has a head portion accompanied with at least an elongated, relatively thin metallic protective member, which has cut-outs or meshes in the construction, formed integral with the outer surface layer of the fiber reinforced plastic envelope at the racket frame. Protection by this additional member assures enriched frictional resistance and reduced collapse of the head portion and presence of the meshes or cut-outs pr...

A vacuum frame, comprising a base section, a cover hingeably attached to the base section and including a transparent section, the cover and base section forming a vacuum chamber therebetween when the vacuum frame is in a closed position, a reserve vacuum tank in fluid communication with the vacuum chamber, the vacuum tank adapted to create a vacuum within the vacuum chamber, a vacuum pump in fluid communication with the reserve vacuum tank, the vacuum pump adapted to create a vacuum within the ...

There is provided a reinforcing frame for an open-ended container, adapted to receive the forward edges of the container at its open end, having at least three channelled sides forming a continuous frame body, and formed each by two spaced-apart leg members interconnected by a base member and at least one rigid bar disposed between adjacent leg members in close proximity to the base member. The bar would be disposed between the base member and a forward edge of a container received by the channe...
