Abstract: Odor-absorbing articles of clothing particularly useful for hunting big game animals wherein the clothing incorporates an intermediate odor-absorbing layer or sheet of material comprising non-woven synthetic fibers impregnated with activated carbon powdered particles. The relatively low cost odor-absorbing sheet possesses a flexible, readily pliant characteristic which permits its incorporation into an article of hunting clothing to preserve the required comfort to the wearer. The odor-absorbing sheet includes a binder which upon drying, adheres the carbon particles to the synthetic fibers without causing the sheet to become stiff and unpliant. The preferred activated carbon loading is about 100 to 200 weight percent of the weight of the non-woven sheet material.

Abstract: An indexing and rotational feed control apparatus for a rotationally mounted spindle holding a work piece includes an indexing housing connected to the spindle and carrying an indexing finger is rotatably mounted relative to an indexing plate such that rotation of the indexing wheel provides sequential releasably fixed rotation of the spindle between angularly indexed positions. The indexing plate is connected to a shaft which in turn is connected to a rotary actuator such that rotation of the actuator permits precise rotation of the indexing wheel and indexing housing in either direction without disturbing the releasably fixed indexed position between the spindle and indexing wheel as set by the releasably fixed engagement between the indexing finger and the indexing wheel.

Abstract: An octagonal box structure comprises eight upstanding side wall panels and eight closure flaps integrally connected to one another and closing an end of the box structure. The side wall panels include four smaller panels having a width dimension of about 20 to 40 percent of the width dimension of the narrowest pair of the remaining four side wall panels. The closure flaps have a width corresponding to the width of the side wall panel from which they depend. Four of the closure flaps include diagonally extending score hinge lines to permit each of the these closure flaps to fold inwardly in partial overlapping relationship upon itself and the next adjacent closure flap. The diagonal score lines are formed at an angle between about 20 to 25 degrees relative to an extension of the vertical score lines which define the width of each closure flap. Also disclosed is an apparatus for quickly setting up the box from the typical planar folded tube form in which the boxes are shipped.

Another vertically movable frame includes plurality of fixed and pivotal folding plates which engage closure flaps connected to the box form to cause the flaps to fold inwardly along selected score hinge lines to close an end of the box thereby forming an opened, erected box ready to accept the desired contents.

Abstract: A method of removing human associated scents from articles of hunting clothing prior to wearing such articles during a hunting interval for big game animals includes placing such articles of hunting clothing in close association with a sheet of material impregnated with activated carbon within an air impervious resealable container prior to hunting. The clothing remains in the container overnight, or at least for a time sufficient to permit the human associated scent emanating from the clothing to be adsorbed by the activated carbon impregnated in the sheet of material placed in close association with the clothing. The articles of clothing may then be removed from the container and sheet of material and worn during the next hunting interval significantly diminishing an additional source of human associated scents which may be detected and thus alarm a big game animal. After the hunting interval is completed, the hunting clothing may be again deodorized in the same manner prior to the next time of use.

Abstract: A process of making brazed monolayer abrasive tools wherein the braze alloy and abrasive particles are applied to the tool form and the weight of each material is monitored after each application step to determine the weight of each of these materials which is applied to the tool form to more precisely control the bond height and diamond concentration in the finished tool product. The weight of each material applied to the tool is compared to a predetermined target weight after the individual steps of applying the material. If the amount of either material applied to the tool falls outside selected limits of the weight target, the tool assembly may be rejected at that stage of the process. Only tools which successfully pass the comparison step are further processed and introduced to the fusion for step braze bonding the alloy and abrasive particles to the tool. This permits the tool components from rejected tools to be recovered and recycled if desired.

Abstract: An improved method of making a monolayer abrasive tool using a relatively low melting point, soft filler metal alloy braze which possesses sufficiently high yield strength combined with a relatively high ductility and low elastic modulus to produce an exceptional bond between a monolayer of superabrasive particles and the tool substrate. The steps of the brazing process include applying a layer of the filler metal alloy including a an active metal in either pre-alloyed or as a mixture with the metal alloy and a monolayer of superabrasive crystals over the filler metal layer. This assembly is heated in a mon-oxidizing atmosphere such as a vacuum to melt the alloy and braze bond the superabrasive particles to the tool substrate. The alloy bond formed possess the properties of a ductility of at least 20 percent elongation, an elastic modulus of less than 15.times.10.sup.6 or less, and a yield strength preferably at least about 45,000 to 50,000 psi.
