Abstract: A channel-shaped insulator is received in a channel-shaped metal track. First and second conductive bus bars are mounted in holders within the insulator, which has wall portions disposed between the track and the bus bars and affording spacing therebetween. The track is formed with first and second longitudinal grooves opposite the bus bars and affording additional spacing between the track and the bus bars. First and second longitudinal ridges are formed on the insulator opposite the first and second bus bars and extending into the grooves for engaging the track to maintain the additional spacing. The depth of the grooves preferably corresponds with the thickness of the wall portions of the insulator between the track and the bus bars. The height of the ridges preferably corresponds with the depth of the grooves. The provision of the grooves and the ridges may increase the minimum spacing between the metal track and the bus bars from 1/32 of an inch to 1/16 of an inch.

Abstract: A conduit stopper is used for interrupting the flow of fluid through an elongated conduit. The conduit stopper has a nozzle sealingly mounted on the elongated conduit. The conduit has an aperture communicating with the nozzle. A deformable sealing element having opposed substantially flat sides is movably mounted in the nozzle and is engageable with the interior of the conduit to interrupt the flow of fluid through the conduit. A carrier is sealingly connected to the sealing element. An actuator is connected to the carrier for moving the carrier into sealing communication with the nozzle and then to deform the sealing element into sealing engagement with the interior of the conduit while the carrier and the nozzle are in sealing communication.

Abstract: A fishing automatic tip-up particularly adapted for use in ice fishing including a collapsible base which is positionable over a hole in an ice covered body of water. A pivotedly mounted post is connected to the base to be positioned in a substantially upright position. A resilient flag support is mounted on the post and has a signal flag mounted on the flag support. An automatic rewind fishing reel is mounted on the post for receiving a fishing line. A latch is releasably connectable with the fishing reel to prevent selectively the fishing reel from rewinding the fishing line. Disengagement of the latch from the fishing reel allows the fishing reel to rewind the fishing line.

Abstract: An improved construction for a quick connect frame used for interconnecting a plurality of wires, which wires are part of a communication system, is the subject matter of this invention. The quick connect frame includes a pair of interconnected uprights. The uprights are held in a substantially vertical attitude. A vertical cable path is positioned adjacent to one of the uprights. A plurality of block modules is mounted on one side of the uprights. The one side of the uprights defines a substantially vertical upright plane. A set of terminating blocks is mounted on each of the block modules. Each set of terminating blocks on each block module is in one substantially vertical block plane, which block plane is spaced from and substantially parallel to the vertical upright plane. A horizontal jumper path is positioned adjacent to each set of terminating blocks.

Abstract: A commnication system patch panel is the subject matter of the present disclosure. The present patch panel provides a convenient device for selectively connecting a wire from one plurality of wires to a selected wire of another plurality of wires. The patch panel includes a front side having an access opening on its front side. The patch panel includes a mounting plate which is adapted for being mounted on a vertical surface. A plurality of connector blocks is mounted on one side of the mounting plate. A portion of the connector blocks is adapted to be connected to wires which are connected to a communication network. Each of the connector blocks of the remainder of the connector blocks is adapted to be connected to wires which are connected to terminals. Each of the blocks adapted to be connected to a wire connected to a communication network is connected to a respective network jack. The network jacks are mounted on one side of the mounting plate at the front of the patch panel.

Abstract: A cruciform anterior spinal hyperextension orthosis has a rigid cruciform base. The base includes an elongated upright and a crossarm secured to the upright. The crossarm has a pair of oppositely extending ends with a side pad on each end. The upright has a upper end and an opposed lower end. A pubic pad is connected to the lower end of the upright. A pair of spaced apart pectoral pads is pivotally connected to the upper end of the upright.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a pipeline plugger for mounting on a pipe which pipe has an insertion port. The pipeline plugger includes a housing adapted for mounting on the pipe adjacent to the insertion port. A rod is mounted in the housing and is axially movably transverse to the axis of the pipe. The rod has a carrier block connected to one end. A holding pin is mounted on the carrier block substantially opposed to the rod. The pipe has a pin aperture substantially opposite to the insertion port. The pin aperture is adapted to receive the pin. A plug is pivotally connected to the carrier block. The plug is adapted to be selectively positioned in the pipe to stop the flow of fluid through the pipe past the plug.

Abstract: An improved measuring flask is used in a filling machine for filling identical containers with the same measured amount of divided matter. The filling machine includes a filling turret having a rotatable portion driven by a drive. The filling turret includes a filling tank having a rotatable floor connected to the drive. The rotatable floor rotates with the rotating portion of the filling turret. A plurality of measuring flasks is arranged in a circle concentric with the circle of rotation of the rotating portion of the filling turret. Each of the measuring flasks is connected to the rotatable floor of the filling tank for receiving divided matter from the filling tank and measuring the amount of the matter. Each of the measuring flasks includes a transition body having one end connected to the rotatable floor and an opposite end extending downward. An open ended tube has one end connected to the opposite end of the transition body and the other end of the tube extends downward.

Abstract: The present invention is an apparatus and method for treating coolant for an internal combustion engine. A pump circulates the coolant from an internal combustion engine through a filter and returns the coolant to the internal combustion engine. After circulation, the coolant is delivered to a holding reservoir. Additives and other materials are delivered to an addition reservoir. A vacuum pump is connected to the internal combustion engine to reduce the vacuum air pressure within the cooling system to between 15 and 27 inches of mercury below atmospheric. The addition reservoir and holding reservoir are connected to the cooling system so that the material from the addition reservoir and from the holding reservoir are pulled into the cooling system because of the reduced pressure.

Abstract: A recessed light fixture assembly includes a plaster frame having a rectangular floor. A bar hanger bracket is supportably connected to each of two opposed edges of the floor. Each bar hanger bracket includes a support ledge supportably connected to its respective edge of the floor, and an upright sidewall formed integral with each support ledge. A bar hanger retaining finger is formed integral with each side of the sidewall. A pair of opposed retaining tabs is formed integral with each side of each sidewall and is spaced from the retaining finger on the respective side. A bar hanger including an elongated arm is positioned between each pair of retaining tabs and is thereby slideably connected to each bar hanger bracket and captured by the retaining finger. Each bar hanger has an elongated arm which arm has two assembly notches in one edge.
