Abstract: A transportation device for the reception and transporting of persons and/or items over hard and soft surfaces including water. The transportation device includes a hull member having a bottom portion and upwardly extending side, forward and rear portions. At least the side portions, and in the preferred embodiment the front and rear portions as well, terminate in horizontally extending rim members which have portions defining holes therein which are used for attaching various articles such as, for example, canopies, covers, umbrellas and fluid containers. Wheel members are provided which can be permanently or releasably attached to the hull member whereby the transportation device can be rolled over a hard surface. The transportation device also includes a plurality of elongated spaced rib members disposed on the outer surface of the bottom portion of the hull member and extending longitudinally between the forward and rear portions of the hull member.

Abstract: The invention relates to a composite structure including a plurality of fabric layers of interlaced flexible stretch-resistant strand material impregnated with a rigid resinous material and positioned in spaced generally parallel relationship to each other. A plurality of elongated partitions are disposed between adjacent layers and divide the space between adjacent layers into a plurality of elongated generally parallel channels. The partitions each comprise a plurality of stretch-resistant strand material interlaced with adjacent layers in a plane generally perpendicular to the adjacent fabric layers and are also impregnated with a rigid resinous material. In one embodiment, a rigid foamed material can be disposed in the channels for particular applications. A preferred method of making the rigid composite structure is also presented.

Abstract: A variable tool bit holder which takes the place of up to eight standard tool bit holders for machining a workpiece including a shank member having a generally elongated rectangular configuration, and a groove positioned on an end portion of the shank member and comprises an end groove portion extending across an end surface of the shank member and side groove portions extending horizontally on the left and right side surfaces of the shank member toward the opposing end surface for a distance at least equal to the end surface groove portion; a support blade having top and bottom surfaces each defined by a frontally disposed V-shaped bit-receiving forward edge portion and a rearwardly disposed planer top surface disposed above the plane of the bit-receiving surface; a transversely projecting elongated rib extending longitudinally along the inner side of the support blade and adapted to be inserted in a selected groove portion and releasably secured thereto; an insert bit having opposing cutting tips and a V-sh

Abstract: A square device for use by steel fabricators including a blade member and a beam member attached adjacent one end of the blade member whereby the adjacent inner surfaces of the blade member and beam member are at right angles to each other, and an elongated notch defined by the inner surface of the beam member extending from one end of the inner surface of the beam member to the other end of the beam member and which is of sufficient width whereby a portion of the notch extends above and below the blade member. In a preferred embodiment, the inner corner of the beam member is provided with a vertical groove.

Abstract: A striking device for impacting an object including a head member and an actuating arm member attached to the head member. The arm member is provided with an elongated sleeve member having a channel therein adapted for slidable engagement over at least a portion of the arm member and adjusting means adapted in association with the sleeve member to releasably engage the arm member and secure the sleeve member at selected positions along the arm member to provide adjustment of the overall effective length of the arm member.

Abstract: The EL device includes a first electrode which is a transparent electrically conducting layer, a dielectric layer overlying the first electrode and a plurality of electroluminescent block members disposed in spaced relationship on the dielectric layer, each EL block member having a first surface disposed in contact with the dielectric layer and a distal second surface. A second or counter electrode which is formed of an electrically conductive layer is positioned in spaced relationship to the distal second surfaces of the electroluminescent block members. The dimensions of the electroluminescent block provide for preselected sonic isolation so as to provide for reduction of phonon waves of varying energies and increase the output brightness of the device.

Abstract: The portable meal container includes a base member for containing food having a substantially rectangular bottom wall and four integral perpendicular side walls of equal height terminating in a unitary top rim and a detachable cover member having top and bottom surfaces adapted to form a tight seal with the top rim portion of the base member.
