| 20090232582 | Method and Instrument for Removing Scratch-Off Coatings - An instrument and method for the removal of a scratch-off coating of a scratch-off card or device utilizes a barrel having a hollow interior and an exterior configured for grasping in the hand. A solvent capable of dissolving the scratch-off coating upon contact therewith is contained within the interior of the barrel. A nib is coupled to and extending from the barrel and is in fluid communication with the solvent within the interior of the barrel. The nib is configured for delivering an amount of solvent to an exposed tip of the nib sufficient to dissolve the scratch-off coating when applied thereon. By contacting the nib of the instrument to a scratch-off coating of a scratch-off card or device, the nib delivers an amount of solvent to the exposed tip of the nib to dissolve the scratch-off coating to reveal an underlying substrate of the card or device without forming numerous particles or loose portions of the removed coating. | 09-17-2009 |

The major surfaces define respective threat and lee sides of the panel. The ballistic panels are arranged edge-to-edge, such that adjacent panels form an unprotected seam therebetween. A first ballistic seam protector is carried by the cross-member of the frame, and covers the unprotected seam on the threat-side of the ballistic panels. A second ballistic seam protector is carried by one of the first and second uprights of the frame on the threat-side of the ballistic panels. The second ballistic seam protector is adapted for covering a second unprotected seam formed between adjacent ballistic panels. | 04-23-2009 |
| 20100147622 | CONVERTIBLE DECK DEPLOYMENT SYSTEM, AND METHOD FOR TRANSFERRING PERSONNEL BETWEEN SPACED ELECATIONS - A deck deployment system is adapted to facilitate transfer of personnel between spaced elevations. The deck deployment system includes a deck defining a substantially flat and continuous deck surface for supporting personnel. A convertible stairway is hinged to the deck and adapted for movement between a stowed condition and a deployed condition. The convertible stairway includes an adjustable frame assembly and a series of articulating horizontally-disposed foot treads carried by the frame assembly. The foot treads remain substantially horizontal upon movement of the stairway between the stowed condition and the deployed condition. When the stairway is in the stowed condition, the foot treads integrate with the deck to form a substantially flat and continuous portion of the deck surface. When the stairway is in the deployed condition, the foot treads cooperate to form steps extending from the deck to an elevation spaced from the deck surface. | 06-17-2010 |
