Abstract: A one-piece dispensing closure has an annular skirt on the inner side of which there are threads which co-operate with threads on a container neck for retaining the closure on the container. The closure has a disc-like top in which there is a dispensing opening and a lid for the opening which is an integral part of the closure and is hinged to the closure top at one edge thereof. The lid has an integral plug adapted to close the dispensing opening when the lid is swung into closing position overlying the closure top. The closure top and the underside of the lid have co-operating projections, for example, ears and a post, which function to prevent the lid from swinging to closing position when the closure is turned over to position for dispensing content material and which can be manually interengaged for retaining the lid in closing position when desired.

Abstract: A control motor of the type used to control carburetor choke valves wherein the motor has an output member acted on by a pair of springs, one of which is effective to urge the choke valve towards its closed position when the engine is not operating and the other of which resiliently resists opening movement of the choke valve.

Abstract: An improved double-ended lighting unit detachably mountable upon a disc shaped flight toy or other object. An elongate tubular metal housing adapted to receive two (or some other even number) flashlight batteries has an opening at each of its opposite ends threaded to threadably receive a flashlight bulb. A metal fastening member, such as a bolt, is passed diametrically through the tube at a location midway of length of the tube to serve the dual function of a mounting member to secure the assembly to another object and to also serve as an electrical connection between the tubular metal housing and one end of a battery located within the tube. The length of the tube is such that a bulb threadably supported in one end of the housing can be threadably adjusted into or out of electrical contact with a battery within the tube which is in electrical contact with the fastening member.

Abstract: A detachable quiver for bow mounting on a bow having a pair of mounting members mounted on the bow and formed integrally with a plastic quiver are maintained in connected condition by a resilient biasing arrangement formed integrally with one of the plastic mounting members.

Abstract: A structural building component having an elongated trough like shell with side walls of adjacent components held together by a clamping means that prevents leakage between the panels and hold the panels against endwise movement relative to each other. The panels include solar radiation absorbing means and heat transfer means in the form of tubes which extend completely through the panel so that adjacent tubes in the same panel or in adjacent panels are connected together exterior of the panels with a gutter arrangement to conceal the exterior connections and to accumulate moisture or condensation and leakage, if any, from the connections.

Abstract: The apparatus for making a filled tubular food product in which tubular dough pieces are extruded onto a supporting die member which maintains the internal diameter of the cavity in the dough piece fixed during raising and baking after which the cavity in the baked dough piece is filled with another relatively softer food product.

Abstract: A fuel control system for a turbocharged engine having fuel delivered to the carburetor under the control of a vacuum operated device which is under the further control of a device sensing pressures upstream and downstream of the turbo charger compressor and delivering a vacuum signal to the fuel control device in proportion to the manifold pressure even though the latter pressure may be a positive pressure.

Abstract: A landscape blanket to be used as ground cover in which particles such as crushed stone, marble chips and the like are arranged in a substantially single layer and are held together to form a blanket by sheets of transparent plastic material which conform to the shape of the particles and are bonded thereto without the use of adhesive. The plastic sheets are bonded to the particles by forcing them into contact with the particles while the plastic sheets are in a softened condition.

Abstract: A pressure regulator including a valve assembly in which a spherical valve closure element has a flat closure portion for engagement with an annular valve seat and the spherical element permits rotation and accurate alignment of the closure surface with the seat to avoid leakage.

Abstract: A carburetor choke control arrangement incorporating a temperature responsive bimetal coil and a diaphragm actuated vacuum motor supported jointly to operate on the choke valve. The length of stroke of the vacuum motor and adjustment of the bimetal coil are each achieved by a single screw adjustment.

Abstract: A two stage vacuum break or fluid motor device of the type used to control choke valves of internal combustion engine carburators. The motor uses a single diaphragm in which the fluid motor plunger operates in a first stage in response to movement of a portion of the diaphragm and in a second stage in response to movement of the entire diaphragm. The stages of movement are under the control of separate sources of manifold pressure which may be made available to the device independently of each other. The two stages of operation may be used to control one or more choke valves through a single output plunger or to control a pair of output plungers movable independently of each other.

Abstract: A load moving apparatus in which a linear actuator is used to move a load through an arrangement of cables and pulleys, so that the load is moved through a distance and at a speed which is a multiple of the distance of movement of the linear actuator.

Abstract: A hand catapult for throwing flying discs such as a Frisbee.TM. or a Flying Saucer.TM. is constructed with a yoke pivotally connected to a handle for a movement through an angle of not more than about 45 degrees to each side of the center line of the device. The yoke comprises an inner circumferentially channeled semicircular portion conforming to and adapted to receive the disc and having a long complementarily channeled arm projecting tangentially from one terminus of the semicircular portion and a short complementarily channeled arm projecting from the other terminus of the semicircular portion. The yoke is constructed of semirigid plastic material and the short arm extends beyond the semicircular portion a distance just sufficient to offer a slight resistance to the insertion and withdrawal of the disc in the channeled semicircular portion. The device is biased to the uncocked position and is provided with a pressure-releasable device for holding the yoke in the cocked position against said bias device.

Abstract: A fluid pressure motor having a movable diaphragm assembly and an output assembly housing a plurality of output members at least some of which can move relative to the diaphragm assembly and can be connected to separate devices for control by a single differential control pressure in the motor.

Abstract: A diaphragm assembly for servo motors has been provided wherein a pair of backing elements have opposed portions acting on opposite sides of a diaphragm assembly and are held in fixed relationship to each other through the means of a sonic weld located at a point remote from the diaphragm to provide a leak-proof diaphragm assembly which lends itself to ready modification to accept valves or diaphragms to change the operating characteristics for different applications.

Abstract: A wheel trim assembly including a retainer for mounting on a vehicle wheel wherein a cover member has a peripheral flange and an annular retaining ring is provided with wheel engaging retaining elements and is disposed at one side of the cover member in engagement with an axially extending annular flange formed on the inboard side of the cover member so that the retainer ring is held centered relative to the cover member. A clamping ring engages and holds the retaining ring assembled to the cover member.
