This invention is concerned with a submersible illuminating device useful as a point of orientation for underwater swimmers, lighting means for swimming pool and the like.
1. A submersible lighting device for providing illumination in an aqueous environment comprising a substantially flat, circular housing carrying illuminating means including a plurality of light bulbs, electrical circuitry for said light bulbs, a water tight switch and a single, circular, essentially convex shaped reflector centrally secured to said housing; and a translucent cover enclosing said illumination means and said reflector, and being attached to said housing in a water tight fashion; said lighting device having a specific gravity greater than that of water and being equipped with means for attaching it to or holding it in a predetermined location, and a removable ring shaped flotation device for circumferentially cradling said lighting device only in an inverted position on the surface of the water so that the translucent cover is submerged, and when the flotation device is removed the lighting device can be used in an upright and sideways orientation.
The present invention is concerned with a lighting device submersible in water to provide illumination, orientation and safety for swimming pools, lakes, or other bodies of water frequented by swimmers, especially by persons swimming under water. By means of a floatation adapter, the lighting device of the instant invention may also be caused to float on the surface of water in an upside down manner in order to provide illumination of the space below.
There are several references of interest which concern themselves with light sources in an aqueous environment, namely, U.S. Pat. No. 3,443,085 (Steltzer et al) describes a buoy light designed to float in the water in an upright position so as to be noticable by the mariner, for instance, along an inland waterway. Submersion or under water light operation is nowhere contemplated or desired.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,234,913 (Ramme) deals with a lighted bobber for a fishing line so as to make the location of the line visible in the dark. Such lighted bobber is incapable to provide illumination or direction under water.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,532,178 (Uke) discloses a diver's flashlight providing a strongly focused coherent light beam, and it is not designed to illuminate broadly an underwater space.
None of the above mentioned references provide or even anticipate the submersible lighting device of this invention. It is also known that underwater lighting may be provided for swimming pools and the like, such lighting usually being installed permanently and illuminated conventional (e.g. 110 Volt) light bulb, however, depending on materials of construction, manner of installation and maintenance such lighting may be hazardous to swimmers with possible catastrophic consequences.
The submersible lighting device of this invention has considerable versatility and uses which are neither provided by devices suggested in the references of interest nor is such a device found as an item of commerce.
It is therefore an object of this invention to provide means for lighting under water space;
It is another object of this invention to provide multi-colored illumination below the water surface;
It is a further object of this invention to provide the swimmer under water with means for direction and/or orientation;
It is still another object of this invention to provide illumination for a swimming pool, lake or other water body; Still a further object of this invention comprises providing the lighting device of this invention for the purpose of having it temporarily affixed to the bottom or to the side of a body of water such as a swimming pool.
It is still a further object of this invention to provide illumination in an aqueous environment which is safe for swimmers.
Other objects of this invention shall become apparent by the disclosure and claims.
FIG. 1 is a side elevated view of an embodiment of this invention;
FIG. 2 is as FIG. 1 except that the sides of the housing and deflector have been cut away;
FIG. 3 is a plan view of a device of this invention having multicolored translucent cover;
FIG. 4 is as FIG. 3 except in the absence of reflector and cover;
FIG. 5 provides an elevated side view of an embodiment of this invention simulating an arrangement of the device floating on the surface of water.
FIG. 1 illustrates a housing 11 having extended rim 12, a power switch 13 is mounted on the side of the housing, and a reflector disc 15 as well as two electrical light bulbs 14 are visible given an indication that light is being cast not only 360 degrees in the horizontal but also over an arc of more than 180 degrees; the housing is covered by the translucent dome 16; dome and housing are firmly held together by a suitable number of nuts and bolts or screws as is shown in other drawings; also, gasketing is provided in crucial areas to enhance resistance to water penetration.
For instance, FIG. 2 provides an illustration of the housing 11 including extended rim 12, which is covered by dome 16, both capable of being rigidly connected with a multiplicity of bolts 25 (one only shown) being solidly engaged with dome 16 by means of angled portions 16a (one only shown) of dome 16, and housing 11 being sealed by upper gasket 17a and lower gasket 17b. Illumination means are provided by light bulbs 14 fitted into support columns 19 from where the necessary electrical connections are leading either directly, or via switch 13, to batteries 24, the latter resting in cradles 23 on the sides, the minus (-) tops 22a and plus (+) bottoms 22b of the batteries 24 being held in place by spring loaded contact means; the housing 11 is further equipped with reflector 15 which is secured by bolt 18 to central support post 21. It will be appreciated that it is opportune to provide the reflector 15 with openings big enough so that upon removal of the dome 16, detaching the reflector may not be restricted by light bulbs 14, facilitating easy access to batteries 24 for testing or exchange.
FIG. 3 is a top view of an embodiment of this invention comprising the dome 16 having translucent sections 16b and opaque section 16a; the translucent sections may be clear or of one or more colors such as red, green, blue, white, etc.; also represented is the extended rim 12 having a multiplicity of openings 20 enabling the user to either mount the device of this invention against the side of a swimming pool or the like, or to attach thereto suitable line or rope in order to hold the device in a predetermined location be it on the bottom of a swimming pool or at the surface of the water; activating switch 13a can also be seen.
FIG. 4 provides an outline of simple electrical circuitry for a device of this invention, namely batteries 24, two of each being positioned in series, the respective minus (-) poles being linked together and leading to switch 13 and from there to center star connection located around central support post 21 and from there to each individual light bulb support 19 carrying light bulbs 14; light bulbs 14 may be turned on or off by pressing switch lever 13a towards the desired position; the respective plus (+) poles are combined and are leading directly to support posts 19 enabling closing of circuit.
FIG. 5 demonstrates the use of a device of this invention on the surface of water by being cradled upside down in ring or donut shaped flotation device 51, held in place by extended rim 12; device 51 has cut out section 52 in order to provide free access to switch lever 13a; approximate depth of the illuminating device is indicated by wave lines 53; it is apparent that through dome 16, the light from light bulbs 14 may extend light not only to the reflector 15 causing light to be transmitted in a more downward direction, but also light may reach over the edge of said reflector to provide illumination at an arc of at least 180 degrees.
It should be understood that the configuration of the submersible lighting device of this invention is not critical and may be elliptical, square, hexagonal, octogonal or the like, provided that there are no sharp corners or edges which may cause injury to a swimmer; preferably such a device should have a circular shape; the height of the device of this invention may also vary depending on materials used, the lighting means employed, the size of the device, ornamental considerations, etc.; the housing may be constructed from metals such as aluminum, stainless steel or galvanized steel, but is preferably made from plastic such a poly(vinyl chloride), polyacrylates, (impact resistant) polystyrene, graft polymers such as polybutadiene or poly(butadiene-styrene) rubber grafted with styrene and/or acrylonitrile; also polyacetal, polycarbonate, polysulfone, polyamide, polyester and the like, whereas the dome may be manufactured from the above mentioned materials, the translucent sections being preferably made from poly(methacrylate), poly(methyl methacrylate), clear polystyrene and the like; electrical connections may be accomplished by having circuitry imprinted on the housing, or by using suitable wiring made from insulated copper or aluminum wires or a combination thereof.
It is essential that the electrical switch be either water resistant or be protected from direct contact with water by a flexible membrane as is well known to the art. For the seals between dome and housing may be used elastomers such as polychloroprene, poly(butadiene-acrylonitrile), poly(butadiene-styrene), polybutadiene, polyisoprene, butyl rubber and the like, either unfoamed or expanded to a closed cell foam; polychloroprene is a preferred material.
Power for the illuminating means may be provided by one or more (rechargeable) batteries connected parallel or in series or a combination thereof, powering 1-10 or more, preferably 1-8 and usually 1-6 light bulbs. Switching means may be installed which will allow activating selected light bulbs, or circuitry may be chosen that causes automatic rhythmic off-and-on switching of the light(s), providing as entertaining effect especially when a multicolored dome is used. However, the aspect of safety provided by the lighting device of this invention ought not to be underestimated, whereby such a device may provide direction or a rallying point for (scuba) divers, reduce disorientation to the novice to underwater swimming at night, or may serve as a lighting or direction marker for an item fallen overboard.
It should be understood that the instant description and drawings are for the purpose of illustration only; any modifications, equivalents and variations are considered to fall within the scope of the appended claims.

phasers - why only short bursts?
View Single Post
August 25 2008, 08:17 AM
Re: phasers - why only short bursts?
Indeed, it's difficult to see how our heroes could have maintained phaser contact with the
, which was cloaked for the most part, maneuvered quite a lot, and was firing back so hard that the heroes had to maneuver, too. Most of the shots fired by the E-E were "ranging shots" anyway, attempts at establishing where the invisible enemy was, and any sustaining there would have meant wasted energy.
Apart from that, though, the standard mode of phasers in TNG/DS9/VOY era ship-to-ship combat does seem to be to dwell the beam at the target for as long as possible. It's just that in TNG, our heroes usually are so superior in firepower that they don't need a long duration beam to defeat their puny opponents - especially when "defeat" is defined as silencing the enemy guns while minimizing death and destruction. In DS9, a beam is often sustained until it starts coming out the other side of the target ship...

Shutdown Corner
Path to the Pros: Melvin Gordon says, 'I want to be the best back'Frank Schwab at Shutdown Corner52 mins ago
With a month left before the draft, one of the more interesting prospects is Wisconsin running back Melvin Gordon.
There has been a ton of talk about running backs not going in the first round for consecutive years, a lot of talk about Georgia back Todd Gurley's ceiling (and his knee injury), and there sits Gordon, coming off a phenomenal near-Heisman season at Wisconsin.
In a "Path to the Pros" interview with Stack.com, Gordon lays out his goal, and that's to outdo every other back in the 2015 class.
"I want to be the best back, that's my goal," Gordon said.
Gordon is known for his big runs, and his speed, but in the video above he looks pretty strong and he's not a small back at 215 pounds. To get into the first round, teams will have to be convinced that he is more than a home-run threat.
Gordon has another goal, and that's to be a part of a winner. He didn't win a state title in high school or a national championship in college and he wants to experience being a champion.
Jameis Winston's appearance at FSU pro day weigh-in gets attentionFrank Schwab at Shutdown Corner1 hr ago
In the history of the NFL, no quarterback has ever played with his shirt off.
So really, it doesn't matter much what Jameis Winston looked like at his weigh-in at Florida State's pro day on Tuesday. Yet some heads turned when Winston was shown on NFL Network and he wasn't looking like what we'd expect from the presumptive first pick of the draft.

This isn't the first time Winston has dealt with questions about his conditioning or weight. Before the NFL scouting combine, a photo of him working out went viral:
Mike McCarthy gives Groundhog Day analogy for they're agency wallflowersEric Edholm at Shutdown Corner4 hrs ago
A loyal Twitter follower asked me a few days prior to free agency a question about his beloved Green Bay Packers, something along the lines of: "Are my Packers finally going to do something in free agency?" (I for some reason can't find the original tweet, perhaps because my answer might have led him to infer how silly the question sounded to me and delete the son of a gun.)
It was short and sweet:
Mind you, this was one year after the Packers had done the unthinkable: Sign an aged Julius Peppers to a bloated three-year contract (!) worth beaucoup dollars. It got Packers fans all lathered up. Perhaps GM Ted Thompson had turned over a new leaf?
Negative. Consider the Peppers signing to be the Packers equivalent of Halley's Comet. Hope you enjoyed it when it came through.
Packers head coach Mike McCarthy pretty much confirmed this after his team has signed a par-for-the-course zero outside free agents since the start of the open derby in early March. Speaking with MMQB, McCarthy offered a cheeky response — as cheeky as MM gets, anyway — to Peter King's rhetorical free-agency lob.
Other side of concussion issue: Austin Collie can't find NFL workFrank Schwab at Shutdown Corner21 hrs ago
When linebacker Chris Borland walked away from the NFL, he said it was because he was aware of the concussion risks and decided that wasn't for him anymore.
Receiver Austin Collie presumably knows all the risks too. But he can't land an NFL job, even though he wants to. He thinks his concussion history is the reason.
Collie signed with the Canadian Football League's B.C. Lions earlier this year as he attempts his comeback. His NFL story is a tough one: A fourth-round pick with the Colts in 2009, Collie was off to a great start with 15 touchdowns and more than 1,200 yards in his first 25 career games through two seasons. Then he suffered three scary concussions. He played one game in 2012, seven in 2013 and none in the NFL last season.
And Collie thinks that his concussion history is the reason he has had a hard time getting a chance to further his career, given the NFL's recent sensitivity to it.
OMG, Lions linebacker DeAndre Levy stands on a moving planeFrank Schwab at Shutdown Corner22 hrs ago
It makes sense that NFL players are thrill seekers. You don't go through the adrenaline rush of playing on Sundays in the fall and then sit at home all offseason and watch old movies.
That's why Tom Brady was giving New England Patriots fans a heart attack by cliff diving. But Brady's rush looks like playing in the kiddie pool compared to Detroit Lions linebacker DeAndre Levy's mode of offseason relaxation.
Someone turned off the "Fasten Seat Belts" sign on Levy's flight, so he went up to the top of the old Red Baron propeller biplane and took in the flight from there. Here's what he posted to his Instagram account:
Whoa. I don't think the flight attendant would approve of that.
Rodney Harrison: Jets only 5, 6-win team with Geno Smith at QBEric Edholm at Shutdown Corner23 hrs ago
The New York Jets have made a big splash this offseason, adding key pieces such as Darrelle Revis, Antonio Cromartie and Brandon Marshall. But NBC analyst — and, oh yeah, former New England Patriots safety — Rodney Harrison doesn't seem all that impressed.
"You can say whatever you want about Darrelle Revis — and I do believe he's the best cornerback in the league — but Darrelle Revis has not thrown a touchdown pass," Harrison said, via ESPN.com. "He's not your quarterback. Yes, he can shut down a No. 1 receiver, but they need a quarterback. The Jets are, all of a sudden, on a high, thinking they're going to win a championship. You're not going to win a championship — you're not even going to make the playoffs — because you don't have a quarterback."
Well, they have one, but do they have one have one? Harrison says no. Certainly not one like this former teammate, Tom Brady.
Falcons to lose draft pick, but Browns won't for their crimeEric Edholm at Shutdown Corner1 day ago
Your browser does not support iframes.
There had been a little debate going around league circles the past few months. Which was the worse crime: Cleveland Browns general manager Ray Farmer found guilty of texting down from the booth to the sideline or the Atlanta Falcons guilty of piping in crowd noise during games?
It turns out that the Falcons got the worst of it, losing a draft pick while the Browns didn't.
Doug Williams: Redskins haven't given up on Robert Griffin III ... yetBen Rohrbach at Shutdown Corner1 day ago
In an interview on SiriusXM NFL Radio Channel's "The End Zone" show over the weekend, former Washington Redskins quarterback Doug Williams, who now serves as a personnel executive in the organization, placed a portion of the blame for widespread criticism of Robert Griffin III on social media.
Sam Bradford considered quitting football after second ACL tearFrank Schwab at Shutdown Corner1 day ago
When Sam Bradford went down with a second torn ACL in less than a year last preseason, it would have actually been odd if the thought of retiring hadn't crossed his mind.
The road back from a major injury like that is not a ton of fun. When Bradford re-injured his ACL in a preseason game at Cleveland last season, the thought of doing all that rehab again had to be devastating.
It's really no surprise that the Philadelphia Inquirer wrote that Bradford, who was traded from the St. Louis Rams to the Philadelphia Eagles this offseason, needed to be talked out of retirement by Josh Heupel, his former quarterbacks coach at Oklahoma.
Greg Cosell's NFL draft preview: QB Marcus Mariota's pro transitionGreg Cosell at Shutdown Corner3 days ago
The question about Oregon quarterback Marcus Mariota is how he'll transition to the NFL.
Mariota, like all quarterbacks from spread college offenses, is a bit more of a complicated projection. The game he played at Oregon will not be the same game he plays in the NFL. There will be a three-step, five-step, seven-step drop foundation he'll need to learn. Even if the Philadelphia Eagles and former Oregon coach Chip Kelly end up drafting Mariota, it will be a different game for him than he's used to.
Mariota was very comfortable in Oregon offense. He understood and executed the concepts at high efficiency with great confidence. But does he have to run that offense in the NFL to be successful?

Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) was recognized as the best transit agency in North, South and Central America at the annual MetroRail conference in London.
DART was selected for the "Best Metro Americas" award over transit properties in New York City, Chicago and Washington, D.C.
Integration with other transit modes, customer service, value for money, safety and high performance standards were a few of the categories in which DART was judged. Event organizers said the awards were created, "to identify and reward those companies who have demonstrated an unparalleled ability to succeed and continually set standards of excellence."
The train wreck, which occurred in the early morning of March 24, 2014, when the operator allegedly fell asleep, injured more than 30 people and caused roughly $9 million in damage. The lead railcar had to be cut up to remove it from the escalator.
The vehicle, which was a designed and built by Brookville Equipment Corp., will be the first streetcar in the U.S. that utilizes wireless traction power.
Opened in 1935, Newark Penn Station is listed on both the State and National Registers of Historic Places. The station was originally designed and still operates as an intermodal facility serving pedestrian, taxi, bus and private vehicle traffic generated by the more than 50,000 transit customers who use the station each day.
Part of the problem is an aging fleet, according to officials. Calgary Transit placed a $200-million deal in 2013 to buy 60 new light rail vehicles; however, those vehicles will not be operational until 2016.
The new trains for Hermann-Hesse railway line will be completely emission-free. In times of increasing energy costs and higher level of pollution, the development of this technology is essential.

NYS actually has three parks on Lake Piesco. We stayed in Sand Point which I think is the nicest of the three. Fishing, swimming, and jet skiing are pretty much the only choices here. We had to travel to Speculator to another state park for showers. The bathrooms at Sand Point (and I assume the other two parks at Piesco) are outhouses! They smell terribly, they were not always the cleanest, and require a hike from some sites. We camped at Point Comfort in a Motorhome.Undo

My "perfect" poly is having a long-term committed romantic loving relationship with one or more people who can respect each other for who they are with no attempts to manipulate or change the others - I think that from a purely practical standpoint my limit is two (Based on current experiences). Living arrangements are negotiable as is whether the two of them have anything beyond a functioning friendship. If they choose to bring others into the relationship then that is totally cool by me too, and I don't mind what sex their partners are.
I don't know that I focus quite so much on "perfect", though - I think I have some needs which a relationship configuration needs to fill, and some wants over and above that. As long as the needs are met (and everyone else's who is involved) then I think I cam quite flexible.
I feel blessed to have a wonderful relationship like this for over a year and a half now. I have had others that have been learning opportunities and good in themselves but this one is by far the best.
Thanks for asking!

Did you make it to Frontier Field for the Rochester Red Wings' opening day? The game was postponed to Sunday because it was cold and snowy on Saturday. Luckily the 50 degree temperatures made for an enjoyable day at the stadium. The official attendance at yesterday's game was 8,473.
For those who made it to the game, there were many new things to check out from new team uniforms, to a new logo and new video board.
Rebecca Leclair spoke with Red Wings General Manager Dan Mason this morning about additional changes fans can expect to see this summer. Press play on the video player.

Check the walkability of the street you're standing in, as well as discover new walkable streets in other areas and add your own ratings and reviews.
The Walkonomics app uses over 700,000 street ratings from Walkonomics.com, covering every street in Glasgow, Toronto, San Francisco, New York and England. But unlike other walkability apps, which only measure how many destinations are within walking distance, Walkonomics provides 5-star ratings for 8 different categories of pedestrian-friendliness:
• Road safety;
• Easy to cross;
• Pavement/Sidewalk;
• Hilliness;
• Navigation;
• Fear of crime;
• Smart & beautiful;
• Fun & relaxing.
These ratings are generated from Open Data including street widths, traffic levels, 311 cleanliness reports, gradients, crime statistics, pedestrian accidents and even how many trees are on each street. This automatically generated data is complimented by crowdsourced reviews from local residents and visitors. Each street rating is mapped using colour-coded markers to show the overall walkability rating for every street.
Features include:
> Check the walkability of nearby streets and areas;
> Search by location, place name or post code;
> View search results on a map with colour-coded markers;
> Get a WalkHood map for how far you can walk in 5 minutes in any direction;
> Discover new walk-friendly areas and streets;
> Instantly get detailed walkability reviews and ratings of streets based on real data and people's views;
> Add your own ratings and include photos;
> Login with Facebook, Twitter or Email;
> Undertake walkability audits and crowdsource local people's ideas for improving streets.
Perfect for home buyers looking for a new walkable neighbourhood or checking the location of a hotel or holiday destination. It's a really easy and fun way to discover and enjoy walkable streets and neighbourhoods.

prairie and management
I have grasses and wildflowers in about 1 acre of our yard. I want to mow it this year. To what height should I mow it? What is a good mowing schedule? I'm not ready to burn but will probably do that in 1-2 years. I also need a good prairie management book recommendation if you could. Thank you so much, J.Oliver
Mow low; quite low, in fact. If you want the wildflowers, you won't be able to mow except yearly (fall).
I found The "Tallgrass Restoration Handbook" by
Cornelia F. Mutel and Stephen Packard to be the best source.
Here is a link that might be useful: Garden Musings Blog
How old is the planting and what is the reason for the mowing. If its relatively new planting, less than 4yrs old, then one can assume the mowing is for weed control. If you are mowing for weedcontrol, then the timing of the mow is critical. If you are mowing for weed control, typically you will mow 3 times, with 21 day intervals inbetween the mowings, with the first mowing taking place when the weeds you are mowing are just starting thier seed heads. You can mow high if it is for weed control.
I have a 5 acre restoration in progress.(4 years old) Most of it I dont need to mow anymore, but I still have about 1 acre thats a problem for me. I burned this year, but I burned too early. Thats a problem also.

Soy Gel - Awesome!
After reading of people liking soy gel here, we picked up a quart yesterday. Tried it out on a small section of baseboard to see
If it would work - wow. So cool! Couple of hours and
The paint peeled away with the plastic wrap. I'm gonna need more. And am
Guessing that I'll be stripping more trim tomorrow!
I've been thinking about ordering some soy gel to try, so appreciate this post!
I have some old kitchen cabinets -- definitely solid wood, but I'm not sure of the type of wood. I'd guess they're coated in polyurethane. I'd like to try soy gel on the cabinets *and* on the handles and hinges to remove the years of grime and (poly?) coating on them. Does anyone think or know soy gel would do the job? :)
I'm also curious about your "plastic wrap" comment. Is plastic wrap somehow used in the stripping process? The video I watched showed them 'painting' the soy gel on, waiting, and waiting some more, and then removing the layers of the gel goo and softened paint with a scraper.
This post was edited by party_music50 on Tue, Jan 1, 13 at 11:55
I have heard nothing but positives about it, I have always been a heat gun+strong chemical guy, but I have my staircase railings to do, and that set of techniques isn't going to cut it. This adds more fuel to the fire to try the SoyGel stripper.
Count me in as a Soy Gel fan! There isn't a lot of trim left in my house but all of it was painted with layers and layers of paint. The most recent color was a brown that was almost black. I bought several of the caustic paint strippers and even the heat gun. What worked was Soy Gel. So much so that I bought a five gallon bucket! I am using it on wood trim, metal handles and hinges, items that I spray painted that didn't turn out right, and everything else that has paint on it that needs to come off.
I didn't use the plastic on it (placing plastic over the piece helps to keep the Soy Gel from drying out, making it easier to scrape off) and I had a contractor over to give me a quote on some work. He laid his hand on the trim and the paint and Soy Gel came off on his hand. He was ready to panic until he realized his flesh wasn't burning off. Of course, he had to know what it was that was removing the paint without removing his skin!
I'm a fan for life!
Holy cow Katy-Lou! I'm going to try that on the wretched mauve the previous owners coated all our lovely old wainscoting and doors/trim. It's rather thick so I'm interested in seeing how much penetration you get with the soy gel.
Thanks for adding the photos - that was a great show of its' abilities.
Am thinking of trying this - questions though. What do you use to wash it off - just plain water? don't like having to buy expensive wash to get the stripper off.
How does it smell? If I don't use it up right away can it be stored or does it go bad? Citristrip can be stored almost indefinitely, this other product (forget the name) went bad within weeks and had to be thrown out.
Best to go to the source:
And I have had my five gallon bucket for five months and it works as great as day one. I also have a small container of it that sits without a lid to inspire me to slather some on a hinge or a piece of trim whenever I walk by it and that also works like a charm!
Just wanted to put my praise in for Soy Gel, too. It works better than any other stripper I've used, and it also doesn't make me feel sick like the others! I generally slather it on thick and leave it for 24 hours, unless it's only a very thin coat that needs to be removed. It hasn't let me down yet. It is a little pricey and hard to find (I order mine from Amazon), but to me it's worth it because it makes the job so much easier.
We used Soy-Gel to strip very tough paint off the brick exterior of our home. There were multiple layers of paint and yes, it removed all of them. We love the stuff

Sliding backsplash - has anyone used one?
So those pics of the sliding backsplash with storage behind really caught my attention. Has anyone here put one in or seen one in person?
My latest crazy idea is to use deep cabs on my short 69 inch wall and use the space in the wall between studs to make some storage areas for the mixer, blender, and maybe charging station. The "wall" of backsplash would still make a 24 inch deep countertop with the storage behind.
The reality of this is what's tripping me up. I can always just pull the cabs forward and use standard ones to reduce costs. And I know that wall is not load bearing. But I can't figure out the sliding door part. I'd prefer to keep it flush to look neat, but I can't seem to find a good solution.
I want to have some sort of plan to discuss with our GC before I bring it up. He's a great guy and I'm sure he'll be open to trying if I have a starting place. I need to have him come for a detailed estimate in the next few weeks, planning for a May remodel with inflexible dates so I need to get all my ducks lined up.
Any suggestions?
Won't one half by necessity have to be in front of the other, if you want the whole distance to be accessible?
The only other thing I've seen is that marble wall slider and if memory serves, the center of the wall was the cubby and the one sliding panel could go back and forth in front of either set-back side. Seems like that way you could have a centered, about 20" cubby to have room on either side for sliding and framing, etc?
I don't necessarily need access to a lot of space at once, especially if I divide it up into sections.
I'm very stubborn sometimes. I want a flush backsplash when it's all closed up. I found some lateral door hinges that look promising, but they are $85 per door. Might be worth it if I get reasonable quotes for the rest of the project.
Maybe there is something that can slide up behind the upper cabinet? I have a hard time finding odd hardware pieces. I can find plenty of tile, but hardware is proving more difficult.
Furniture pocket doors just like on a TV armoire that slide into the adjacent room would be your best bet if you want flush. To get any real width to the storage space though, you would need to install a header into the studs just like with a window opening. Otherwise, you'd be limited to around 13" by the time the door slid back. Plus, the studs would be unfinished and need some type of finishing to look good from the room on the other side. This would work best if the adjacent room was a pantry with a counter that the appliances could sit on, yet be pulled forward into the kitchen when the doors slid back.
You could easily do one that slides behind the cabinets straight up. It would have to be set in tracks and then I'm thinking either a pulley system hooked to a switch or a gear system. This is my husband's forte and he's not at home to ask, but I think your only problem is going to be the weight of the stone if you go with marble. It might be hard to find something small that will lift that much weight, plus attaching it to the stone without sacrificing the integrity of the stone. We did something very similar with a chicken coop door but it weighs a lot less than marble.
Deedles, this is the top contender so far, but my search is slowed by my severe lack of technical knowledge in this area (hard to find the right search terms).
I had considered tambour doors, but I am not fond of that striped look they have. I was hoping there is some sort of solid door that might be able to slide up behind the cabinet above.
Hollysprings, those armoire type doors might be an avenue to investigate. Unfortunately there is a half bath on the other side of that wall. That pantry idea would be fantastic! In my hypothetical dream house the pantry has some of those shelves and some of the shallow shelves that have doors at the back that open to the kitchen.
I don't need terribly large spaces, but that Kitchenaid is no dainty flower. Might have to break out the measuring tape on that. Armoire doors also need a lot of space to open, might have to mock tht up to see if it is doable or if it might cause issues with items and space to move things into to open the door.
I may also have one section that has pipes in it. I need to drill some exploratory holes this coming weekend when DH is working. They will match the holes I put in the soffits :-)

What about out and back movements like this?
Contemporary Kitchen design by Newark Kitchen And Bath Tim Kriebel - KRIEBELDESIGN
Also, this site has a lot of interesting hinges and hardware http://www.wwhardware.com/door-lift-systems-lid-and-flap-stays/
MrsMM, that's a good idea. Not sure what the backsplash will be, but it will not be stone. If I can find hardware, I will work the backsplash to be compatible. When MrMM comes back, can you ask him what that type of track is called? I would imagine a handle or finger groove would be used to raise the panel. Though a pulley may be useful to keep it open, could put a hook and loop on it.
Hmm, if they slid up, I could build up the door front to look flush with the anchored track parts. Might mean a different look for that area as I an considering a seamless BS part of the way up, but it's also not an area with any water access or cooking.
Other ideas? I'm gonna be crushed if this ends up costing eleventy bazillion dollars, but won't know for a bit.
Wall cabinets are screwed to the wall. There isn't any room "behind" them that you could slide any doors unless you create VERY sturdy boxes to attach to the wall and then attach the cabinets to. Even then, you would have limited space in the hollow box in which to have a door slide up. And the sides of the installation would look kinda peculiar.
Do you want instructions for a automatic (hooked to electric and a control) or just a pull the string type?
The electric type is run by a reversible motor, like automatic car windows. You'd need a wiring chart and the motor (usually $50-100+ depending on weight) as well as basic wiring parts.
For a manual lift, metal or wood rails on either side of the backsplash to hold it vertical. Attach your string/cable/chain to the backsplash and attach a pulley at the top. Run your cable over the pulley and back out some strategically placed hole. Our small coop has a manual door with a cable through a pulley and we just tie it around a nail and untie it leaving enough cable that it doesn't spring back to the coop. And suddenly this idea comes to mind. What about the cord locks on blinds? You could easily retrofit that into the side or underneath a cabinet. The underneath would be an easy place to hide the lock and then you could run your string through the upper cabinet so it would be hidden. The just have a nail or pin that could hold the excess string out of the way.
The only downside to either idea is that it would require you to build out your wall behind the wall cabinets. Depth would depend on your material.
Hollysprings is right for the slide up approach... the cabs would have to be built out... of course you could have the exposed side made to whatever depth so you would have a finished look.
Is there any way that you could have 30" deep base cabs and build the backsplash storage 'forward' of the wall?
To slide up, you either build out the cabinet or frame out an opening in the wall and install lots of blocking behind the cabs so the door can slide up into the wall. Might be easier to slide down behind the lower cabs--it's easy to pull cabs out.
You could also alternate your sliding panels with very shallow surface-mounted cubby/shelving units on the backsplash for spices and such. Then the doors could slide sideways behind the cubbies.
Some great advice! My original intention was to capture the few inches in the wall and add to it the extra inches from deeper cabinets (or ones pulled forward with support for the counter). This would entail either building out the uppers, which now seems like a direction that may not be so good, or extra deep uppers, which may be $$$$. I had hoped to be able to slide a door behind built out uppers, but it seems that clashes with reality.
So that leaves slide-down doors, lateral hinge doors, alternating doors with cubbies (another great suggestion from Marcolo!), or tambour doors. And the mystery mechanism from claybabe's friend.
My gut feeling is that while slide down doors would be a good solution since I would need to use standard depth cabs pulled out, which is good for the wallet, they may be tricky. Do they make a mechanism like a screen door where the latch would hold it up until a button is pushed, then it allows the door to slide back up over it from the bottom before locking?
Still loving the idea of lateral hinges, but the only price I found so far was $85 per set, so a little pricey, but maybe doable since it is only a few doors. I have no idea from the technical diagrams if this type of installation is possible. Need to get a professional opinion on that one.
The doors/cubbies may be an easier answer, though a different look than I first envisioned. It would be a great solution should I find pipes in one section, as that would obviously be the shelving area between the part of the niches that extend out from the wall. Built in shelves? What a nice idea! But wait! Not just shelves, cubbies too!
I did see an interesting pic online somewhere of tambour doors side by side along a stretch of cabinets. It looked nicer than I anticipated. Might have to toss them back in the running.
Might get a better sense of what may work when I take a look in the wall. Additional discussion, ideas, and random thoughts still welcome!
Base cabinets have to be fastened to the wall too. So any slide down type of door would have the same issue as a slide up door. However, you could do sections of a larger cabinet in the middle where the sides were securely fastened. One of those rise up TV mechanisms could work for that to bring a mixer or blender up and down.
Here is a link that might be useful: Hardware Hut TV lift
I think you really need to think a Lot about what this would really be used for. I know Mick DeGiulio incorporates these. (usually sliding stone slabs), but it seems kind of gimmicky to me, and one of those things that might be more trouble than it's worth in terms of expense and engineering.
If you want it for the gimmick appeal, thats fine, but I think of all those things like the in-the-wall paper towel holders that no longer hold standard rolls (too fat), the pop out of the wall toasters that can't be fixed, the Nutone Food Center, the giant built in radio-intercoms and all those things that seem really cool but end up not being used, are replaced by or different technology and are able to be adapted to other uses. The earlier version of that TV elevator was actually for a tube TV. What are people doing with Those TV lifts and specialized cabinets now, I wonder?
I wonder how many of Mick's heavy stone slabs get left in the open position most of the time?
I think capturing backsplash space is a great idea, because vertical space is too often ignored. Ever since women entered the workforce, the kitchen industry has lost a lot of interest in cooking efficiency; it now defines efficiency as snacking, drinking soda and loading the DW with maximum speed.
However, to pal's point, I'd be leery of things that disappear behind walls or cabinets. Once they break, they're very hard to fix.
I think it's a great idea. The best one I've seen in person had sliding doors made of a copper screen framed by about 1.5" copper band. But they weren't as deep as you seem to want. Here's a video someone posted last year of vintage storage ideas. The sliding doors are shown at 10:58. (Love many of the ideas in this kitchen!)

"However, to pal's point, I'd be leery of things that disappear behind walls or cabinets. Once they break, they're very hard to fix." When I read this I thought of the window in the car when it breaks in the 'down' position. Big pain to tear the door apart and get to the works.
Well, I guess the doors sliding down might not be the answer. I know I would eventually break it, so fixability is helpful.
The main reason I haven't really considered doors the just fold up is the space lost on top. It would reduce the usable height of the space. Might be worth investigating though, see what is out there.
Do bifold doors come that size?

As the White House released a memorandum outlining President Obama's strategy for promoting homosexuality globally, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was busy hectoring the United Nations Human Rights Council in Geneva with the same discordant anthem. Speaking on behalf of the President, Clinton exhorted the UN body concerning the evils of "gay and lesbian discrimination," reported the Associated Press, "declaring the U.S. will use foreign assistance as well as diplomacy to back its insistence that gay rights are fully equal to other basic human rights."
Texas Congressman Ron Paul may soon have even more ammunition against American foreign aid. The White House has announced that it will use foreign aid to promote global rights for gays and lesbians.
Texas Representative Ron Paul's non-interventionist foreign policy has endeared him to many of those who love the advice of America's Founders. His message to "bring the troops home" from not just Iraq and Afghanistan, but also from Korea, Germany, and Japan, echoes George Washington's words in his farewell address where the first President advised, "It is our true policy to steer clear of permanent alliances with any portion of the foreign world."
GOP presidential contender Herman Cain told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel in an interview that he had requested that Henry Kissinger, former Secretary of State, serve once again as Secretary of State in a hypothetical Cain administration. Though Kissinger apparently rejected Cain's offer, the maneuver raises a number of questions regarding Cain's conservatism.
GOP Debate: Ron Paul Dissents from War on Iran and Syria, Assassination, TortureWritten by Thomas R. Eddlem
Except for dissent from Representative Ron Paul of Texas and (to a lesser extent) former Utah Governor Jon Huntsman, the Republican presidential candidates blazed their way in a November 12 debate toward foreign policies where the United States would engage in two new Middle Eastern wars against Syria and Iran, re-institute the Bush Administration torture policy, abolish trials for terror suspects, and allow unlimited presidential assassinations.
