Flickr Hive Mind is a data mining tool for the Flickr database of photography. Flickr Hive Mind is a search engine as well as an experiment in the power of Folksonomies. All thumbnail images come directly
from Flickr, none are stored on Flickr Hive Mind. These photos
are bound by the copyright and license of their owners, the thumbnail links take to you to the photos
(as well as their copyright and license details) within Flickr. Because some other search engines (Google, etc.) index parts of
Flickr Hive Mind, you may have been led here from one of them. Welcome to Flickr Hive Mind, almost certainly the best search engine for photography on the web. If you are a Flickr
user and use Flickr Stats you
may have seen people being led to your photos via Flickr Hive Mind (as a Referrer).
Flickr requires that I inform you that Flickr Hive Mind uses the Flickr API, but is neither endorsed nor certified by them.
There are literally hundreds of other web tools built around the Flickr API, see
Flickr Bits for a bunch of examples.
If you are unhappy with your photos' presence on this site, you can (a)
make your photos private for yourself, friends, and family. These settings will be instantly honored by
Flickr Hive Mind and all other API-driven applications. (b) Hide your photos globally from text and tag searches on 3rd party sites that use the Flickr API, via your preference settings on Flickr. See the privacy tab at:
http://flickr.com/account/. To also remove yourself from searches for specific user names, you will need to set your Flickr profile to be hidden from searches. Flickr has finally created a single page with all these settings, this is much easier to do now and is the preferred method - it will shut down all API driven sites.
(c) Finally, you can
Banish Yourself
From Flickr Hive Mind. To banish yourself from Flickr Hive Mind, you must first authenticate to Flickr, which lets Flickr Hive Mind identify who you are. Once logged in, come back to this area
and there will be a link to banish you. If there are any problems email me at nosflickrhivemind ... at ... fiveprime ... dot ... org. (a few people with weird characters in their user names may have had problems)Log In To Flickr Now

Cognitive behavioral therapy that focused on trauma and stress-related symptoms was effective among orphans and vulnerable children in Lusaka, Zambia, according to a randomized clinical trial.
"There are 15.1 million youth orphaned by AIDS in sub-Saharan Africa, with numbers predicted to increase. Orphans and vulnerable children experience multiple traumatic experiences, including abuse and exploitation, premature parental death, HIV infection and stigma, poor health care, poverty, reduced social support, and abbreviated childhood and education," study researcher Laura K. Murray, PhD, of Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, and colleagues wrote in JAMA Pediatrics. "Given the association of childhood trauma with skill deficits and unhealthy decision making, as well as with long-term negative health outcomes, early and effective mental health intervention is critical to the care of [orphans and vulnerable children]."

Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)
Saints Popes John XXIII and John Paul II prophetically raised their voices on behalf of the suffering masses. They spoke truth to power, and challenged all of us to advance the kingdom of God - a kingdom of love, justice and peace.
Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)
4/25/2014 (1 year ago)
Published in Living Faith
Keywords: Tony Magliano
St. John XXIII, affectionately known as "Good Pope John," was expected to be a "caretaker pope" - someone who wouldn't make any waves.
But he would have none of that.
In addition to his monumental decision to convene the Catholic Church's 21st ecumenical council - Vatican II, in 1961 he penned the powerful and controversial encyclical Mater et Magistra ("Christianity and Social Progress").
There St. John XXIII wrote that the economy "has become harsh, cruel, and relentless in frightful measure." And that "even public authorities were serving the interests of more wealthy men. ."
To those who wrongly insist governments should leave the economy alone and let the "free market" correct itself, Saint John XXIII wrote that "Civil authority should resume its function and not overlook any of the community's interests." And "on a world-wide scale, governments should seek the economic good of all peoples."
Then in 1963, just months after the Cuban missile crisis ended, he authored an even more powerful and controversial encyclical: Pacem in Terris ("Peace on Earth").
Mindful of humanity's recent close brush with nuclear war, and the devastation conventional wars cause, he wrote "Justice, then, right reason and consideration for human dignity and life urgently demand that the arms race should cease, that the stockpiles which exist in various countries should be reduced equally and simultaneously by the parties concerned, that nuclear weapons should be banned, and finally that all come to an agreement on a fitting program of disarmament, employing mutual and effective controls."
If only the world would listen to this saint.
"John Paul the Great" - as many of us admiringly refer to St. John Paul II - was bigger than life!
He took the Good News of the nonviolent Jesus to the far corners of the earth, boldly defending the vulnerable and poor.
Early in his papacy in 1979, I remember hearing in Washington, D.C. - along with 700,000 others - these challenging words: "We will stand up every time that human life is threatened. When the sacredness of life before birth is attacked, we will stand up and proclaim that no one ever has the authority to destroy unborn life!"
But St. John Paul was equally committed to protecting born life as well.
Again in 1979, in New York City he proclaimed, "The poor of the United States and of the world are your brothers and sisters in Christ. Never be content to leave them just the crumbs of the feast. Take of your substance, and not just of your abundance, in order to help them. Treat them like guests at your family table."
Confronting the world's addiction to the violence of war he said, "War is a defeat for humanity."
In his Jan. 1, 2005 World Day of Peace message he wrote, "Violence is a lie, for it goes against the truth of our faith, the truth of our humanity. Violence destroys what it claims to defend: the dignity, the life, the freedom of human beings."
In his powerful encyclical Sollicitudo Rei Socialis ("The Social Concerns of the Church"), St. John Paul beautifully summed up all of Catholic social teaching in one clear sentence: "We are all really responsible for all."
Tony Magliano is an internationally syndicated social justice and peace
columnist. He is available to speak at diocesan or parish gatherings
about Catholic social teaching. His keynote address, "Advancing the
Kingdom of God in the 21st Century," has been well received by
diocesan gatherings from Salt Lake City to Baltimore. Tony can be

When one of their adventures leads to the discovery of a secret ice cave that is home to hundreds of new wild dragons and the mysterious Dragon Rider, the two friends find themselves at the center of a battle to protect the peace. Now, Hiccup and Toothless must unite to stand up for what they believe while recognizing that only together do they have the power to change the future of both men and dragons.

Today I would like to introduce you to Susan, a team mate of mine on Etsy. Susan runs We HIVE Personalized Story Books. I am so impressed with her lovely books and wanted to know more about her motivation and background. Here is the interview we did:
Susan, what motivated you to start your business?
Well, as many Mothers can relate, I desperately wanted to be home with my family, and I understood that it would definitely be a financial sacrifice. I didn't know if it was possible but I wanted to try to make it work, so to help out financially I started We HIVE in 2007.
Tell us the reasoning behind your personalized story books business
I have learned to love reading but it was not always that way. I struggled to learn when I was young. I didn't understand the connection between letters, sounds and words. After struggling for some time, I was given a book that someone, I can't remember who, thought would help me. (They will never understand what a gift they had given me.) The book title and story had my name in it: "Susan's Secret Garden". I will never forget it. It was explained to me that the story was about me and that it actually had my name printed in it. I was so excited. I knew what my name looked like in print and went through all the pages looking for it. The story was so much fun as I could imagine myself in the story. I had the book read to me over and over and over! Soon, I was looking through the book by myself after having heard it so often and memorizing most of it. After that I was starting to put things together myself as far as reading went. It took some time but finally I wanted to read and was excited about it rather than afraid. I am so grateful for that book. I still have it after 38 years and will treasure it forever!
Tell us a bit about Personalized Stories and Personalized Companion Journals
Each story is personalized with a child's full name, up to three friends can be involved in the story and also a child's hometown. A dedication on the front page will remind the recipient of the person, occasion and date they received this wonderful gift. Depending on the story more information can be included in the story as well. Also, in each of the stories you will find a learning experience or wonderful memories. We have sport themes that deal with sportsmanship, safety, counting and rhyming, memory books and Christian books such as:
My Book of Prayers
Here are some entries from the book: __________ would be filled in with personalized information.
Sometimes, _________, you may wonder about the words to say to God. You want to thank Him for all He does for you throughout your day. This special book was written to help you talk to God.
You can pray anytime, _________, no matter what you are doing. God is always ready to listen to you. You can even make up your own prayers. Say anything and everything you want to God.
_________, it must make you very happy to know you are surrounded by people who love you so much.
Dear God, thank you for my family and friends. Please help me to say only kind works to _________, _________ and _________.
Dear God, please let me play in a loving, sharing way with __________, __________and _________today. Amen.
I do not write the stories but I do personalize, print and bind each one with love and care. My Personalized journals include your personal message to the recipient from the gift giver and can be lined or blank. I call them companion journal's because you can choose from any of our stories and have a journal made with the same cover. So as with the story above you may choose to order a companion journal of the same cover or different for the recipient to journal their prayers in.
What do the people who buy your books say?
- Wow! Can't say enough. First of all the order process was quick and easy. They worked with me to create a personalized book that turned out to be the highlight of our family Christmas! Shipping was very fast and the book exceeded our expectations.
- I bought this for my friend's son who I have not been able to meet yet. She called me in tears when she received it. It's such a great idea!
- My son LOVED this book & wants us to read it again & again. So perfect for a hockey loving 5 year old boy. Very clever concept, well done!
- This is really the coolest gift ever. This is so, so well done. My girlfriend cried when her daughter opened this. She said she could not have imagined a better gift.
Where to find We HIVE and Susan
I hope you'll stop by for a visit. We have many themes to choose from for any occasion. Imagine your child growing up and reading a story about themselves to their own children. Your grandchildren! What a wonderful experience to look forward too.

This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional application No. 60/034,287, filed Dec. 18, 1996.
The present invention relates generally to electrical connectors. More specifically, the present invention relates to a pin retention means employed in an electrical connector.
The use of multi-contact connectors is a well-known method for providing an organized and orderly connection of multiple leads such as in electronic devices. Multi-contact connectors terminate conductors and cables between electronic circuits within a system, between systems, and between systems and external power sources and signal lines. Multi-contact connectors interconnect circuits on circuit boards with backplanes or backpanels or wiring within an enclosure. They may also interconnect chassis and circuit boards in different enclosures.
Such connectors come in a variety of shapes including trapezoidal, rectangular, and circular. These connectors typically include an electrically insulative connector housing containing multiple apertures through which conductive connector contacts are inserted. These connector contacts, a plurality of which are included in such connector assemblies, are connected to separate incoming wires and a dielectric insert assembly for fixedly or removably mounting the electrical contacts in the connector shell.
For example, right angle, D-faced electrical connectors are used in the electronics industry as input/output devices to interconnect a computer to external peripheral equipment. The contacts of the electrical connector are typically soldered to conductive traces on a printed circuit board at a backwall or panel of the computer. The front face on the connector is mated with a complementary electrical connector which is attached to the peripheral equipment.
These types of electrical contacts are supported in apertures in the insulative housing of the connector with back ends of the contacts bent at right angles. The contacts terminate in solder posts which extend downward from the connector housing for insertion into through-plated holes in a printed circuit board for subsequent soldering thereto.
Typically the contacts are held in place by an interference fit between the contact and the wall forming the aperture in the connector housing by either oversizing the contact to the aperture or by providing barbs on the contact which engage the internal wall defining the aperture.
However, by employing an interference fit between the contacts and the connector housing, several problems are commonly experienced. One such problem is that the insertion fit can cause warpage of the connector housing. Also, the insertion forces required to insert contact pins through the connector housing can sometimes bend, misalign, or skew either the pins or the solder tails. As mentioned above, because of the importance of properly aligning the solder tails to the appropriate terminal in the printed circuit board, such misalignment can render a connector unusable.
Furthermore, interference fit connectors require a precise fit between the hole and contact in order to eliminate some of the above-mentioned problems. This necessitated the use of tight tolerances which increased production costs.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,017,159 discloses an electric terminal for mounting electrical components on printed circuit boards. A mounting leg is employed to secure the connector to the printed circuit board. This mounting leg includes at least one elongate indentation in the mounting end parallel to the longitudinal axis which facilitates the splitting of the mounting leg along the indentation into two half leg portions and splaying the two half leg portions into abutment against the opposed side of the printed circuit board to secure the position of the terminal on the printed circuit board. However, it has been found that in some cases splaying does not follow the coin along the center of the leg, but favors one side and results in an asymmetrical one sided splay. Such off center splaying has a tendency to further pull the terminal pin off the original center line perpendicular to the printed circuit board surface.
It is an object of the present invention to provide an electrical connector which insulatively supports contacts within a connector housing.
It is also an object of the present invention to provide an electrical connector where the contacts can be easily inserted into the connector housing without change to the contacts or the housing.
A further object of the invention is to provide a connector where the contacts are easily inserted into the connector housing which thereby eliminates misalignment of the pins or solder tails by the high insertion forces of the prior art.
In order to achieve these and other objectives, the present invention comprises an electrical connector comprising an insulative housing having an elongate aperture therethrough. An elongate electrical contact is insertable within said housing aperture in a direction of insertion, said contact having a first end extending externally through a first end of said aperture, and an opposed second end extending externally through a second end of said aperture. The contact further includes a deformable flange adjacent the first end of the contact for expanded deformation so as to prevent removal of said contact from said housing aperture in a direction opposite said direction of insertion.
The present invention also comprises an electrical connector comprising an insulative housing having a connection face and an opposed termination face, and a plurality of elongate apertures extending between the connection face and the termination face. Also included is a plurality of mated elongate electrical contacts insertable within said housing from said termination face to said connection face. The contacts have first ends extending externally through first ends of said apertures, and opposed second ends extending externally through opposed second ends of said apertures. The contacts further include a deformable flange adjacent said first end of the contacts for expanded deformation so as to prevent removal of said contacts through said termination face.
FIG. 1 is an exploded view of a connector for employing the contact retention method of the present invention.
FIG. 2 is an isometric view of a connector employing the contact retention of the present invention.
FIG. 3A is a cross-sectional view of the connector of FIG. 1 where the drawing shows the insertion of the contacts into the connector housing of the present invention.
FIG. 3B is a cross-section view detailing a fully inserted contact in the connector housing of the present invention.
FIG. 3C is a cross-section view showing the swaging of the contacts inserted into the connector of the present invention.
The present invention provides an electrical connector which supports a plurality of contacts in a housing unit within a mated aperture. The electrical contacts are retained in a receiving aperture by the expansion of a deformable flange portion of the contact once the contact is inserted in the aperture.
As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the present invention provides an electrical connector 1 for establishing electrical connection between a mating electrical connector (not shown) and a printed circuit board (also not shown). In a preferred embodiment, electrical connector 1 includes a connector housing 2, which is a generally elongate rectangular member, fabricated from an electrically insulative material such as molded plastic. Housing 2 includes a plurality of apertures 6, which are generally rectangular in shape, through which the contacts 4 are inserted. The apertures 6 may be arranged in two longitudinally extending transversely spaced rows, as shown. However, other aperture shapes and arrangements of apertures are within the contemplation of the present invention.
The contacts 4 are elongate members typically stamped from a planar sheet of a conductive metal. The contacts 4 each include an elongate interconnection end in the shape of a pin 13, an opposed surface mount solder tail 19, and a central body 16 therebetween. While pins 13 and solder tails 19 are shown in the preferred embodiment, the configuration of contacts 4 is not limited thereto. Contact body 16 is an elongate flat planar member having extending shoulders 22, and 24 adjacent solder tails 19 and deformable retention flanges 26 and 28 adjacent pin 13.
Depending on the spacial relation and orientation between a particular contact 4 in the connector housing and the preferred location for connecting the corresponding solder tail 19, solder tail 19 may be a straight member or it may be bent into a configuration that provides connection of the solder tail 19 to a lead spaced away from the connector 1. FIGS. 1 and 2 show examples of a straight solder tail 19″ which allow connection leads in a single plane as provided, for example, by a printed circuit board. While the figures show the contact with one end leading into a solder tail, this is not the only construction contemplated by the invention.
As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 contacts 4 are positioned within housing 2 so as to permit electrical connection between contacts of a mating connector and traces on a printed circuit board. Pin 13 extends externally of a connection face 40 while solder tail 19 extends externally of an opposed termination face 42. As is well known in the connector art, pins 13 are designed for mating interconnection and solder tails 19 are designed for solder termination to a printed circuit board.
FIGS. 3A-3C provide a cross-sectional view of a portion of connector housing 2. The apertures 6 are formed to cooperatively receive the contacts 4 inserted therethrough. Apertures 6 are elongate apertures defined between connection face 40 and termination face 42. Opposed side walls 11 and 12 of housing 2 further define aperture 6. The apertures 6 include recesses 7 and 8 at each longitudinal end thereof, namely connection face 40 and termination face 42 respectively.
Recess 7 is defined by a recessed surface 9, and is in communication with termination face 42. Recess 7 has a width which is greater than the width of a central portion 6 a of aperture 6.
Recess 8 is defined by tapered walls 11 c and 12 c which open outwardly to connection face 40. Tapered walls 11 c and 12 c form a recess of increased width at connection face 40 which will engagingly receive deformable flanges 26 and 28 for retention.
While both the central contact body 16 and the receiving aperture 6 have been displayed in a rectangular shape, the invention is not limited to the rectangular shape, as other varieties of shapes are contemplated.
Contacts 4 are generally inserted into housing 2 from the termination face 42 towards the connection face 40 in the direction of arrow A. The contacts 4 are of such a dimension with respect to apertures 6 that free unrestricted insertion is permitted.
In the preferred embodiment shown herein, as the apertures 6 and contact body 16 of contacts 4 are both generally rectangular in cross-section, the shape and fit between contact body 16 and aperture 6 within connector housing 2 prevents the rotation of the contacts 4 about their longitudinal axis Y. The contacts 4 are inserted until the leading edges 23 and 25 of shoulders 22 and 24, which are wider than the contact body 16, cooperatively engage and seat against recessed surface 9. Such seating provides a mechanical stop and prevents over-insertion of the contacts 4 in housing 2. In this position, deformable retention flanges 26 and 28 are positioned so that the pin 13 extends fully through connector face 40 as shown in FIGS. 3B and 3C. FIG. 3B shows that once contact 4 is fully inserted into aperture 6, deformable retention flanges 26 and 28 are positioned adjacent to tapered walls 11 c and 12 c.
Referring to FIG. 3C, deformable retention flanges 26 and 28 may be swaged outwardly to abut tapered walls 11 c and 12 c. An appropriate tool 25 may be used to simultaneously swage both deformable retention flanges 26 and 28. The swaged retention flanges 26 and 28 thus reside against recess 8, to thereby lock contact 4 within the connector housing 2. The contact 4 is thus longitudinally confined by a retention force acting through contact 4 at flanges 26 and 28 adjacent connector face 40, and at shoulders 22 and 24 adjacent termination face 42.
Swaging the connector contacts 4 into place within the connector housing 2 provides a high retention force for maintaining contacts 4 within the connector housing throughout the lifetime of the connector. The high retention force provided by the present invention is obtained with a relatively low deformation force being applied to the deformable flanges 26 and 28. Thus the present invention allows the contacts 4 to be easily inserted into the connector housing 2 which eliminates misalignment of the pins 13 or solder tails 19 by the high insertion forces required by the prior art.
Because the present invention does not rely on an interference fit between the contacts 4 and the aperture 6 within connector housing 2 to maintain the contacts in place, the present invention also eliminates warpage caused by the interference fit of each contact with the connector housing.
Furthermore, in the present invention, the contact is not skewed in its entirety, which leads to unequal distribution on either side of the skewing and an off-balance resulting connection. The off-balance connection causes subsequent misalignment with printed circuit boards and results in a unusable electrical connector.
FIGS. 1 and 2 also illustrate connection ears 30 and 31 extending from housing 2 at each end thereof. Connection ears 30 and 31 provide for the securing of connector 1 to a circuit board so that the load is not borne by the solder tails 19. The ears 30 and 31 include mounting brackets 30 a and 31 a equipped for receipt of appropriate mounting hardware (not shown). The attachment of connector 1 to the printed circuit board may also be attained by other means well known in the art.
The present invention is intended to conform to the preceding description but is not limited thereto. In addition to those instances mentioned above which may deviate from the description, the shoulders of the contacts and the recessed surfaces against which they abut need not be limited to a rectangular shape.

Teen Mom
Farrah Abraham's Message to the Haters: "Past Is Not Present" (VIDEO)
Teen Mom's Farrah Abraham has once again astounded us with the resilient way she overcomes the watchful eyes of her haters. In her latest Keek vid, the reality TV star (who is now infamous for her sex video with adult film pro, James Deen) talks to those who criticize her and her life choices.
Farrah, who seems to be sporting a new hairstyle, takes a moment to let fans, friends, and family know that the media has misinterpreted who she is, but she's not sweating it.
"I wanted to say yes, there's a lot of hate because the public eye has gotten a lot of my personal business, that should've remained and I think a lot of my friends and family understand that and have experienced their own issues with people getting in their business when they should not and misinterpreting who we are from one time of being positive or celebrating what we want and it doesn't mean that that's us."
Apr 26, 2013 | Past is not Present :) LOVE U 2 #Haters! P.S thanks 4 the Porn star compliment , I love my body 2. by f1abraham on Keek.com
Farrah's more than certainly referring to her tape, as she mentioned it was to be a memento for herself of her younger years ... which she would only release if the right people offer her the right about of money...
Any who, the Teen Mom star continued on, saying "past is not present, we are better than all the hate and in the future when we're doing good, they'll realize."
All we can say after that is: Do you, Farrah. Do you.
What do you think about Farrah's message to the haters? Tell us in the comments below!

A world-acclaimed dive centre and the most developed of the Red Sea resorts, Sharm el-Sheikh has many holiday activities, luxury accommodation and restaurants available. Most Sharm el-Sheikh hotels and diving centres are situated four miles (7km) from the city at Naama Bay and it has become a busy holiday resort with plenty of shopping opportunities, late night entertainment and an attractive holiday atmosphere.
Numerous dive sites are within reach of Sharm el-Sheikh, including the huge drop-offs at Ras Mohammed in the extreme southern part of the peninsula, the Straits of Tiran, various wrecks and 28 sites located along the coast that are reached by boat. Naama Bay has a gently sloping sandy bottom, is ideal for dive classes, and provides diving and snorkelling opportunities for all levels without having to use a boat or car to get there.
Besides excellent diving and snorkelling, which are the main activities when in Sharm el-Sheikh on holiday, there are plenty of watersports available if one feels like doing more than just soaking up the sun. Add a vibrant nightlife with casinos, discos and nightclubs and one can't complain of boredom!
Resort Rating
On holiday in Sharm el-Sheikh, diving and snorkelling are the main activities but there are a range of other activities available including horseback and camel riding, golf, desert safaris and health treatments, and a variety of watersports. The desert holds numerous attractions and trips are offered to Mt Sinai and St Catherine's Monastery, among others.
Between Sharm el-Sheikh's two tourist districts of Old Sharm and Naama Bay, there are a huge variety of dining options while on holiday, from hotel restaurants and international fast food chains like KFC, to local eateries and fresh fish. Anything from Mexican to Japanese is represented in Sharm el-Sheikh.
Sharm el-Sheikh casinos, discos, pubs and bars cater to those ready to party the night away while on holiday. Entertainment ranges from dance clubs to informal hangouts, with local favourites like the Pirates Bar, Zabadi and The Tavern Pub.
Avid shoppers will find a good variety of goods in the old market and Sharm El-Sheikh mall, where shops sell both foreign and local products, including jewellery, leather goods, clothing, pottery and books. Naama Bay offers a more upmarket shopping experience at the Naama Centre, where shopkeepers are less inclined to bargain but everything from souvenirs to scarves can be had.
Shopkeepers and hawkers can become a nuisance but a polite though firm 'no, thank you' should ward them off.

A weather strip for attachment to a jamb for engagement of a flexible portion of the weather strip against a closure member for example a door comprises an attachment portion of rectangular shape for attachment to the jamb and a flexible portion of blade-shape or cylindrical shape for flexible engagement with the door. The attachment portion is formed of an exterior thin wall surrounding a hollow interior with the wall being co-extruded with the flexible portion. The resultant body is thus relatively flimsy and is rendered rigid by the addition of a stiffener element inserted into the hollow interior defined by the walls.
1. A jamb and closure element assembly comprising a jamb, a closure element movable relative to the jamb from an open to a closed position and a weather strip attached to the jamb so as to engage the closure element in the closed position against the jamb, the weatherstrip comprising an elongate body defining a relatively stiff strip portion attached to the jamb and a flexible portion carried by the strip portion so as to project outwardly therefrom into engagement with the element, the strip portion comprising wall means surrounding at least a majority of a hollow interior and a stiffener element separate from the wall means and inserted into the hollow interior, the wall means and the flexible portion being co-extruded as a common elongate extruded body, the stiffener element being formed of a material which is of greater rigidity than that of the flexible portion.
2. The invention according to claim 1 wherein the wall means includes an opening therein defining a slot along the length of the strip portion, the slot being arranged along a side of the strip portion for fastening onto a face of the jamb.
3. The invention according to claim 1 including a plurality of holes formed through the wall means and the stiffener element for screw fastening of the strip portion to the jamb.
4. The invention according to claim 1 wherein the stiffener element consists of an elongate body of constant external shape in transverse cross-section.
5. The invention according to claim 1 wherein the wall means fully encloses a hollow rectangular area.
6. The invention according to claim 1 wherein the wall means is formed from a more rigid plastics material and the flexible portion is formed from a more flexible plastics material, the wall means and the flexible portion being co-extruded.
7. The invention according to claim 1 wherein the flexible portion has a hollow interior at a point of contact thereof with the closure member allowing flexibility of the flexible portion.
8. The invention according to claim 1 wherein the wall means and the flexible portion are co-extruded from polymerized rubber.
9. The invention according to claim 3 wherein the holes are elongated in a direction transverse to the length of the strip.
10. The invention according to claim 1 wherein the majority of the stiffness of the weather strip is provided by the stiffener element.
This invention relates to a weather strip of the type which comprises an elongate body having a strip portion which is substantially rigid for attachment to a jamb and a flexible portion which is carried by the strip portion and extends outwardly therefrom for engaging an element such as a door for closing against the jamb.
Conventionally the strip member is formed from a metal strip to which is attached a separately formed extruded plastics element formed preferably from a polymerized rubber material. The metal strip must be formed to receive an attachment portion of the flexible member so that generally the metal strip also must be an extruded profile. The costs of manufacturing therefore a product of this type are relatively high in that it involves two separate extrusions both of which are relatively complex. In addition the appearance of the product is less satisfactory in view of the fact that it includes two separate parts which have entirely different appearance characteristics with the metal generally providing a shiny metallic appearance and the extruded plastics material being of an entirely different colour and appearance. Thus when attached to the door jamb, the product provides merely a utilitarian appearance without any possibility for blending of the product into the colour scheme.
It is one object of the present invention, therefore to provide an improved weather strip of this general type including a strip portion for attachment to the jamb and a flexible portion for engagement of the closing element, for example the door.
According to the invention, therefore, there is provided a weather strip for attachment to a jamb so as to engage an element closable against a jamb, the weatherstrip comprising an elongate body defining a relatively stiff strip portion for attachment to the jamb and a flexible portion carried by the strip portion so as to project outwardly therefrom for engagement with the element, the strip portion comprising wall means surrounding at least a majority of a hollow interior and a stiffener element separate from the wall means and inserted into the hollow interior, the wall means and the flexible portion being co-extruded a common elongate extruded body.
With the foregoing in view, and other advantages as will become apparent to those skilled in the art to which this invention relates as this specification proceeds, the invention is herein described by reference to the accompanying drawings forming a part hereof, which includes a description of the best mode known to the applicant and of the preferred typical embodiment of the principles of the present invention, in which:
FIG. 1 is a transverse cross-sectional view of a weather strip attached to a jamb.
FIG. 2 is a transverse cross-sectional view of a modified form of weather strip according to the invention.
FIG. 3 is a front elevational view of the weather strip of FIG. 2.
In the drawings like characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the different figures.
A door jamb is indicated at 10 for cooperation with a door indicated at 11 which provides a closing action against the door jamb.
The weatherstrip comprises a substantially rigid strip portion 12 which is connected to and carries a flexible sealing portion 13. The strip portion 12 comprises an elongate rectangular body with a plurality of openings 14 each for receiving a screw fastener 15 by which the strip portion can be attached to the jamb 10. The openings 14 are elongate in a direction transverse to the length of the strip so the position of the strip can be adjusted in a side to side direction to increase or decrease the pressure of the flexible member 13 against the door 11.
The strip portion comprises four walls the first of which is indicated at 16 and the second of which is indicated at 17. The wall 16 and 17 are parallel. A third wall 18 and a fourth wall 19 are also parallel and lie at right angles to the walls 16 and 17. The spacing between the wall 16 and 17 is significantly less than that between the walls 18 and 19 so as to form a rectangular strip shaped body which has sufficient depth or thickness to provide the required degree of rigidity for the structure and is wide enough as shown in FIG. 3 to receive the elongate openings 14.
The flexible portion 13 is directly connected to the third wall 19 so that it defines two wall portions 20 and 21 which project outwardly from the wall 19 and define with the wall 19 a hollow interior. In the embodiment of FIG. 1 the flexible member comprises a blade defined by the parallel walls 20 and 21 together with a converging wall portion 22 which converges towards the wall 21 and defines therewith an apex for engaging the door so that the whole flexible portion acts as a blade which can flex or twist in an anti-clockwise direction as shown in FIG. 1.
In FIG. 2 the flexible portion indicated at 13A comprises an annular wall 13B which connects with the wall 19 and forms therewith a hollow cylindrical interior which can be compressed by engagement with the door 11.
In FIG. 1 the second wall 17 lying against the face of the jamb includes an opening 24 along the full length thereof defining a slot. This allows a slight flexing apart of the walls so that a stiffening element 25 can be inserted into the hollow interior between the walls. The stiffening element is separate from the walls and is inserted as a sliding fit inside the walls with the flexibility of the part provided by the slot 24 allowing the stiffening element easily longitudinally of the part.
In FIG. 2 substantially the same structure is provided except that the wall indicated at 17A includes no slot so the four walls 17A, 18, 19 and 16 fully surround and wholly enclose the rectangular hollow interior for receiving the stiffening element 25.
The stiffening element 25 is formed of a relatively rigid material in a simple rectangular form and hence the stiffening element may be simply a metal strip or may be an extruded plastic strip of a relatively rigid inexpensive plastics material.
The walls defining the strip portion and the walls defining the flexible portion are coextruded as an integral plastics extrusion to form an integral body. One preferred example of material which can be used is polymerized rubber. This material has the desirable qualities that it remains flexible at very low temperatures and of course the weather strip is particularly required at such low temperatures.
An arrangement of FIG. 2, the whole of the product including the cylindrical wall and the rectangular walls can be molded from a single grade of the polymerized rubber material which is relatively flexible and is suitable to define the cylindrical flexible portion. The total stiffness of the strip portion is then defined by the inserted stiffener 25 and the flexibility and stretch of the rectangular wall surrounding the hollow interior allows the insert to slide into place without difficulty.
In the embodiment of FIG. 1, the rectangular walls including the wall 19 are preferably formed from a stiffer grade of the material while the flexible portion 13 is formed of a more resilient grade of the material. These materials can be coextruded from two separate extrusion pumps through a single die so that the materials form integrally into the integrally molded body. The use of the more rigid material allows the slot to be provided while the structure of the hollow interior remains substantially rectangular. Of course the wall 17 is maintained in fixed position rearwardly of the stiffener strip 25 by the compressive action of the fasteners pulling the strip portion against the face of the jamb.
As the stiffener member is formed of the relatively rigid material, it is necessarily stiffer or more rigid than the flexible portion and in the embodiment in which the walls are formed from the same grade of material, the stiffener member is necessarily more rigid from the co-extruded body defined by the walls and the flexible portion and therefore provides the majority of the stiffness of the completed element.
Since various modifications can be made in my invention as hereinabove described, and many apparently widely different embodiments of same made within the spirit and scope of the claims without departing from such spirit and scope, it is intended that all matter contained in the accompanying specification shall be interpreted as illustrative only and not in a limiting sense.
