Abstract: A carbide shank boring bar having a coolant/lubricant bore running axially therethrough fitted with a steel head, said head being machinable to produce a pocket to receive a metal cutter insert wherein said boring bar shank and said steel head have a diameter less than one-half inch and said head is brazed without flux to said boring bar and no flux residue remains in said coolant/lubricant bore upon completion of said brazing. The method of achieving the fusion includes using an atmospheric vacuum chamber to conduct the fusion.
Abstract: A bracket for mounting a headrail of a venetian blind to a support surface such as a wall or ceiling. More specifically, a bracket comprising a platemeans having front and rear legs projecting downwardly and outwardly therefrom, and each of said legs including arresting means and said legs being resilient to assume a relatively tight fit of said headrail against said platemeans.
Abstract: A lamp socket including a lamp receptacle to receive a baseless lamp having wires, said socket including a base projecting annularly radially outward from said receptacle and having wire passageways from said receptacle as well as wire receiving grooves projecting inwardly from a bottom surface of said base and communicating therewith. The base includes a top surface of a common plane and the arrangements of said grooves in orthogonal pairs is such as to increase the area of said base therebetween. Said receptacle is fitted with wire divider means to facilitate the threading of said wires through said wire passageways.
Abstract: A word listing system adapted to be complied into an electronic or print dictionary or compendium wherein the words are arranged in columns. There is a vertical guide column which indexes words arranged horizontally in said columns by corresponding letters alphabetically arranged therein. Said words may extend horizontally on either side of said column, end or begin with the letter in said guide columns. Each word in said list is reproduced at least twice in said compendium.
