Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Contingent Liabilities	Contingent Liabilities General Various claims are asserted against us in the ordinary course of business including those pertaining to income tax examinations, product liability, customer, employment, vendor, and patent matters. Based on facts currently available, management believes that the disposition of the claims that are pending or asserted will not have a materially adverse effect on our financial position, operating results, or cash flow. Letters of Credit, Guarantees and Bonds At December 31, 2016, we were party to unused standby letters of credit, surety bonds, and bank guarantees totaling $7.8 million, $2.4 million, and $1.7 million, respectively. These commitments are generally issued to secure obligations we have for a variety of commercial reasons, such as workers compensation self-insurance programs in several states and the importation and exportation of product.
