A fiber reinforced racket frame advantageously usable for tennis rackets includes a discontinuous foamed resin core made up of a plurality of core pieces longitudinally aligned in end-to-end relationship which preferably vary in the transverse cross-sectional characteristic and/or density from piece to piece. Longitudinal discontinuity and, preferably, change in at least one of the transverse cross-sectional characteristics and density effectively hinder direct and smooth transmission to players...

A film supporting frame structure suitable for use as a residential storm or insulating window, is assembled from frame members having upper and lower channels, and secured together by corner brackets having prongs which mate with the lower frame channels. The assembled frame is covered with a flexible film which is stretched and held securely in the upper frame channels by interlocking tee-members. To facilitate mounting, the frame is provided with a flange and a pressure sensitive resilient ad...

A waterbed frame including a support structure for supporting a water mattress, a support ledge for supporting a user while the user is getting into or out of the waterbed, and a transition member to help the user transfer from the support ledge to the water mattress and back is disclosed. In one arrangement, the transition member is a rigid leaf member pivotally connected to the support structure at the water mattress edge of the support ledge so that when a user moves from the support ledge to...

A frame for pictures and the like is provided having a U-shaped edge member including a pair of arms extending downwardly from a bight and having an inwardly extending member on one of the arms. The picture is held in place by means of a sheet of a bendable, stiff material which is folded over near a marginal edge with the fold line resting against the bight and the terminal edge locked against the inwardly extending member.

An improved bed frame structure that includes initially separate headboard and footboard members, the legs of the headboard and footboard being connected by initially separate side rails. In the preferred embodiment, two tension rods are connected in an X-pattern between the side rails. The tension rods are sized, relative to their connection points with the side rails, so that the rods are maintained under tension, i.e., so that the side rails are slightly bowed inwardly when the frame is erect...

An isolation frame is connected between a conventional three-point hitch of a tractor and a vibrating plow frame. The vibrating plow frame has a plurality of rippers thereon and is mounted to the isolation frame to vibrate in a horizontal direction normal to the direction of draft. The isolation frame itself can vibrate in a horizontal direction normal to the direction of draft.

A vehicle frame assembly including two generally parallel, elongated side rail members and a plurality of cross members connecting the side rail members; each of the side rail members including an upper plate member, a lower plate member and a web member between the upper and lower plate members, the web member including a plurality of primary web sections having a truncated-triangular shape located along the length of the side rail member, adjacent primary web sections being inverted and spaced...

The furniture frame is made of various pieces which can be slid together to form a completed piece of furniture. The pieces include components to define top, bottom and intermediate frames of wood, components to define drawer for sliding between the frames and divider frames to limit motion of the drawers and to interlock the assembled pieces.

A picture frame is comprised of a corner clip for each corner of a rectangular picture assembly, each corner clip including a pair of legs joined at a vertex portion and extending at right angles to one another. Each leg has an end portion extending around an associated edge of the picture assembly to the front thereof for engaging the same. Each leg and associated end portion is made of a thin strip of material extending in a plane perpendicular to the picture assembly with the end portion ther...

A mounting unit for mounting a print, or the like, between a pane of glass or sheet of translucent plastic and a backing board. The unit has a mounting plate with means for connecting the plate to the back of the backing board adjacent an edge of the board. A U-shaped mounting channel fits loosely over the edges of the sandwiched glass/plastic, print and board, and the connected plate. Wedges fit between one side of the connected plate and the mounted channel to clamp the glass and board tightly...
