1. In a steam-table pan formed of drawn metal sheet, the pan including (a) a surrounding wall dimensioned for insertion in an opening in the top of a steam table and having an upper edge and (b) a lip-portion integral with the upper edge and protruding outwardly therefrom to overlap the steam-table top, the improvement comprising a pinch-gripping bead including:
an upper portion of the surrounding wall;
the lip-portion having a horizontal dimension defined by its outward protrusion from the upper edge; and
a substantially vertical gripping-skirt which is integral with the lip-portion and substantially parallel to the upper portion of the surrounding wall, extends downwardly from the lip-portion to rest on the steam-table top, and has a vertical dimension permitting pinch-gripping of the bead with an adult’s fingers to raise the pan from the steam table,
whereby the configuration of the pinch-gripping bead provides substantially enhanced deformation resistance without a corresponding increase in thickness of the metal sheet.
2. The steam-table pan of claim 1 wherein the vertical dimension of the gripping-skirt is greater than the lip-portion horizontal dimension.
3. The steam-table pan of claim 2 wherein the skirt has a vertical dimension of at least about \xbd inch.
4. The steam-table pan of claim 2 wherein the pinch-gripping bead is configured such that deformation resistance in drop-tests is at least about four times greater than for old-style steam-table pans of similar gauge and pan size.
5. The steam-table pan of claim 4 wherein the pinch-gripping bead is configured such that deformation resistance in drop-tests is at least about twenty times greater than for old-style standard steam-table pans of similar gauge.
6. The steam-table pan of claim 4 wherein the pinch-gripping bead is configured such that deformation resistance in drop-tests is at least about an order of magnitude greater than for old-style ramping-type steam-table pans of similar gauge.
The claims below are in addition to those above.
All refrences to claim(s) which appear below refer to the numbering after this setence.
1. Soybean variety XB29AF10, representative seed of said soybean variety XB29AF10 having been deposited under ATCC Accession Number PTA PTA-12677.
2. A seed of the soybean variety of claim 1.
3. The seed of claim 2, further comprising a transgene.
4. The seed of claim 3, wherein the transgene confers a trait selected from the group consisting of male sterility, site-specific recombination, abiotic stress tolerance, altered phosphorus, altered antioxidants, altered fatty acids, altered essential amino acids, altered carbohydrates, herbicide resistance, insect resistance and disease resistance.
5. A soybean plant, or a part thereof, produced by growing the seed of claim 2.
6. A tissue culture produced from the soybean variety of claim 1.
7. A method for developing a second soybean plant comprising applying plant breeding techniques to a first soybean plant, or parts thereof, wherein said first soybean plant is the soybean plant of claim 5, and wherein application of said techniques results in development of said second soybean plant.
8. A method for producing soybean seed comprising crossing two soybean plants and harvesting the resultant soybean seed, wherein at least one soybean plant is the soybean plant of claim 5.
9. The soybean seed produced by the method of claim 8.
10. A soybean plant, or a part thereof, produced by growing said seed of claim 9.
11. A method for developing a second soybean plant in a soybean plant breeding program comprising applying plant breeding techniques to a first soybean plant, or parts thereof, wherein said first soybean plant is the soybean plant of claim 10, and wherein application of said techniques results in development of said second soybean plant.
12. A method of producing a soybean plant comprising a locus conversion, the method comprising introducing a locus conversion into the plant of claim 5, wherein said locus conversion provides a trait selected from the group consisting of male sterility, site-specific recombination, abiotic stress tolerance, altered phosphorus, altered antioxidants, altered fatty acids, altered essential amino acids, altered carbohydrates, herbicide resistance, insect resistance, and disease resistance.
13. A herbicide resistant soybean plant produced by the method of claim 12.
