Abstract: A dispenser for a toilet tissue roll for use with a toilet tissue roll holder wherein the roll is rotatably mounted on a bar forming a part of the holder, including a frame secured to the holder, a roller mounted to the frame over which the toilet tissue roll end is drawn, and a toilet tissue tear structure mounted to the frame and arranged below the top of the roller and formed by a body having an aperture therein for passing the toilet tissue end therethrough and further havng a blade-like edge adjacent the aperture through which the tissue exits, whereby when the roller means is manually rotated downwardly the end is urged over the roller means and through the aperture until the desired length of toilet tissue is passed through the body and thereafterwards the toilet tissue is manually gripped and urged upwardly to bring the toilet tissue into intimate abuttment with the blade-like edge to stress the tissue until separation thereof occurs.

Abstract: A dynamoelectric machine stator has a primary winding for single phase alternating current input and a secondary winding for polyphase alternating current to be supplied from output terminals. The secondary winding is connected such that at least two frequencies are provided at the terminals. The rotor has two windings thereon for excitation, one being excitable for one frequency output and the other rotor winding being excitable for another frequency output at the secondary terminals. Another secondary winding may be provided on the stator to obtain a desired output terminal voltage at one of the selected frequencies.

Abstract: A holder for mounting a pair of skis, ski poles and ski boots on a wall comprising a bracket having a pair of spaced-apart fingers projecting outwardly from the rearwardly disposed wall means, the wall means being mountable to a mounting wall that allows a pair of skis to be mounted in back-to-back relationship. A pair of sidewardly open vertical recesses, each being complementary formed and adapted to releaseably grip a ski pole, are intermediately disposed on the surfaces of the fingers facing away from the skis and to the outside thereof. One of the fingers extends beyond the end of the corresponding finger and is capped on the upper portion thereof by an arcuate segment with an upwardly projecting, forwardmost edge for receiving the looped portion of a carrier for a pair of ski boots.

Abstract: A security frame and mirror assembly for mounting to a wall, including a frame with a sidewall and a flange thereabout, a plurality of threaded receptacles secured to the rear face of the flange, mirror nested between the receptacles and the flange, and threaded rods having one end secured to the threaded receptacles and the other end engaged with the mounting wall.

Abstract: An improved toilet seat and flushing rim joined as an integral part of the toilet bowl, comprising a hollow, disc-shaped annulus with an egg-shaped perforation therein for the passage of human excrement and having an upper wall sloping downwardly from its outer rim and inwardly towards its inner rim which surrounds the perforation forming a toilet seat and a lower wall joined in fluid sealing relationship to the inner rim of the upper wall and sloping downwardly therefrom and outwardly towards the toilet bowl sidewall and having a serrated edge about its outer peripheral edge the edge being disposed in juxtaposition to the inside sidewall of the toilet bowl, thereby forming an inherently selfdraining flushing rim.

Abstract: A device is disclosed herein for manually tensioning a cable having a cable end eyelet and for aligning and holding the eyelet fixed with respect to a chainplate joined to another cable, thereby freeing one hand to pass a locking pin or the like through the corresponding apertures in the chainplate and the eyelet to lock the eyelet with respect to the chainplate, including a crossmember with a pair of arms arranged in complementary, face-to-face fashion and projecting forwardly from the opposite ends of the crossmember and each having a pair of tines therein.

Abstract: A pair of diaphragms with substantially equal natural frequencies are superposed for movement in phase and in unison under accelerating forces, with electrical capacitor plates deposited on adjacent surfaces which provide an electrical measure of the differential diaphragm stressing with one of the diaphragms subject to a fluid pressure differential.

Abstract: A relievable hanger for towels and the like is disclosed which incorporates a ball having a fixed rod extending therefrom. The ball is movably captured within a socket to form a ball joint. A portion of the ball is bored out to receive therein a spring-loaded element with a rounded, blunted end. Positioning the rod upwardly to serve as a hanger for towels and the like disposes the blunted-end of the spring-loaded element over a detent within the socket. The blunted end is urged by the spring into the detent which relievably locks the rod in its upright position.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a disc brake assembly and more particularly to a combined hydraulic and mechanical brake assembly which includes a manually actuated brake for applying the disc brake pads to the disc for both parking and emergency purposes and means to automatically adjust the brake in response to brake pad wear, including a lever-actuated, reciprocating plunger having a tapered nose disposed within an tubular expander having a series of annular teeth thereabout, wherein the expander is freely disposed within a hydraulically operable piston slidably disposed within a cylinder. When the plunger nose is directed into engagement with the fingers, the fingers are radially expanded into meshing engagement with a second series of teeth disposed about the inside of the piston. Once engaged, further axial movement of the plunger carries the piston-operated brake pads into frictional engagement with the brake disc.

Abstract: A plumbing installation jig and wall sleeve is provided for the secure and rapid installation of plumbing fixtures through concrete, gunite, masonry walls and the like. The device includes a single rectangular sleeve, with precisely located individual tubes for the anchor bolts which accurately position the fixture, and security bars which are attached to at least two of the parallel walls of the rectangular sleeve.

Abstract: An adjustable dashpot mechanism for controlling the rate of return of a spring-biased axially-displaceable shaft, comprising: a tubular housing having portions of unequal diameters therein with rims thereabout a shaft slidably mounted within the housing and extending beyond the ends of the housing, a dashpot piston fixedly mounted to the shaft within the housing and having an adjustable orifice therethrough, a flexible flange disposed between the periphery of the dashpot piston and the housing for effecting fluid sealing engagement therebetween when the dashpot piston is moved away from the smaller diametered portion in the housing and for effecting nonfluid sealing engagement when the dashpot piston is moved towards the smaller diametered portion in the housing, a reservoir piston slidably mounted on the shaft within the housing between the larger diametered portion of the housing and the dashpot piston and a spring disposed between the housing and the reservoir piston for urging the reservoir piston towards
