Abstract: Bench tool mounting apparatus has a single rectangular outer part for fixing to a work bench work station and that defines three interior three-dimensional orthogonally contiguous marginal areas adjacent three outer part sides and center openings on a fourth side. There are also a plurality of inner identical parts, each for having a bench tool fixed thereon and each defining three three-dimensional marginal projections adapted for each to slidably engage in the marginal areas of the single outer part through the center openings thereof and thereby securely mount a bench tool on the work bench. A pair of bolts engage respectively in vertically aligned and spaced-apart bolt holes defined through an inner part marginal projection and an outer part defining an adjacent marginal area to lock the inner and outer parts together.

Abstract: Fluid permeable inner facing and impermeable outer facings are biased cut with reduced width between oppositely disposed larger ends, and absorbent filler sandwiched between the facings. A strip of inner facing as long as a diaper periphery is wrapped around a rolled belt of absorbent filler and the facing edges of inner and outer facings are sewed together with the edges of the wrapped belt of filter to form a border welted edge. Fastening flaps extend from the upper part of the diaper transversely to fasten by adhesive tape to a folded up lower portion of the diaper and secure it in place.

Abstract: An inverted visor fixed to lower back rim of a motorcycle helmet to extend upwardly and backwardly therefrom and around a lower back portion thereof and adjustable for varying speeds of travel by a forward and backward tilt of wearer's head to maximum neck muscles relaxation for each speed.

Abstract: A heat activated device having a plurality of fusible elements for mounting in an aperture of a pressure fluid line which holds inactive safety fire control system which is actuated by loss of pressure in the pressure fluid line. The melting of any or all of the fusible elements at a preselected rise in temperature vents fluid pressure from the mounting aperture.

Abstract: An o-ring holder and flange connector spacer having an annular body for engaging an o-ring sealer therein and for guide centering between opposing flange connector face channels when digitally inserted between said faces by a radial extension, transversely scored, for respectively preventing loss of fingers without loss of digital control of holder, and for removal of radial extension beyond said score lines after fluid sealing of faces is completed.

Abstract: A bivalve shell opening blade is fixed by an end to a handle and has a pointed, oppositely disposed free end extending forwardly therefrom. The blade is angularly disposed to the handle so as to fall in aligned continuation of the user's forearm when grasping the handle with free pointed end forward. The blade is offset from the handle for increasing hand leverage in opening the bivalve shells, and the angular disposition of the blade in alignment with the forearm maximizes blade point insertion force between shells and minimizes hand to handle friction and reduce muscular fatigue and blisters in use.

Abstract: A pair of frames are slidably interfitted on a common slide axis. Safety bars placed normal to the slide axis and alternately opposite sides of the slide axis, are fixed in the frames in sliding noninterference and for halving space between bars when frames are slidably coincident. Frames are pivotally fixed in the lintel or upper half of a building window casing for pivoting outwardly. A locking device, mounted in a window casing and controllable by anyone in the building and remote from the casing, locks the frames slidably and pivotally coincident in the casing as closely spaced window safety bars, and similarly unlocks the frames to pivot them outwardly clear of the window sill for slidable extension downwardly as an exterior fire escape ladder with double spaced rungs and angled handrails for standing entry on the ladder from the window sill. Bar stops fixed to opposite ends of the respective frames prevent separation of the slidably interfitting frames.

Abstract: A stomach clamp, having partially occluding arms that extend across a stomach, is operationally clamped in place by bolting together opposed arm ends that extend beyond the stomach periphery. The clamp divides the stomach and reduces space for food input while permitting drainage between the divided stomach parts through the non-occluding part of the clamp arms. The clamp is semi-permanently installed without penetration of stomach lumen or gastrointestinal tract and serves to reduce food intake ane obesity. Frictional engagement of the arms with the stomach is reinforced with sutures through outer layers of the stomach.

Abstract: A box with a removable top and a hingable side part for closing into a case to store and carry effects control pedals and miscellaneous gear of a keyboard stand, and opening into a stand for supporting a keyboard in playing position relative to operationally fixed and connected pedals and gear.

Abstract: A strip of tensile material is transversely bent in the middle to form equal elongated upper and lower flat members that are longitudinally parallel with free handle ends oppositely disposed to the bent closed end. The members are spaced apart the height of a sparkling wine bottle stopper head for receiving the head therebetween. The lower member, adjacent the curved end, defines a compound hole comprising contiguous holes of unequal radii longitudinally oriented and adapted respectively to receive a stopper head through the larger hole and for the smaller hole to engage around the stopper body, slidably. Moving the handle ends back and forth and up and down moves the stopper as desired under complete control regardless of the lack of engaging pressure on the handle ends, and without force engaging the bottle.

Abstract: In an internal combustion engine, two opposed pistons of equal radius are slidably mounted in a cylinder and respectively connected to cranks of unequal throws mounted for rotation at oppositely disposed cylinder ends in a common crankcase. The pistons are adjustable in opposing linear travel to define a flexible cylinder-head, the relative piston positions of piston proximity establishing a range of compressions therebetween correspondable to the respective compression-ignitions of a plurality of available fluid fuels. The cranks are gear connected and similarly offset from the cylinder's longitudinal centerline to eliminate dead centers, produce higher combustion pressures at more effective crank angles, and coordinate the pistons' relative linear speeds in exhaust, air intake, fuel injection, compression and power production in two cycle operation of the engine.

Abstract: A two-piece brassiere comprises separate breast cups, each having individual supporting straps. Each cup is independently fitted to a respective breast in size and shape, the cups being made in a variety of sizes and shapes for use in single pieces in any combination. The cups are approximately three-cornered and uniform for use with both breasts. Supporting straps are attached to each of three cup corners, two straps being adapted to pass horizontally around the chest of a wearer and the third strap being adapted to extend upward over an adjacent shoulder. The horizontal straps of each piece of the brassiere fasten together. The upwardly extending strap of each piece fastens in back to the horizontal straps of its piece to support associated breasts in their natural angular divergence of the associated breast.

Abstract: Two pressure sensitive switches are hydraulically mounted in an intermittent pressure pipe line, and electrically connected in a battery power line, for, respectively, defining a pressure drop below a range of "off" presssure in the intermittent pressure pipe line, and interconnecting timing, alarm and latching circuits in and with the battery power circuit. The pressure sensitive switch at the upper limit of the pressure drop connects the power circuit to the timing circuit to energize it to cycle for a timing period, and, with the timing circuit, connects to the latching circuit for making it conducting during the timing period of the timing circuit.

Abstract: Two nested half cylinders, having a concentric axis and closed ends, are pivoted together on aligned pivot pins mounted in the closed ends and on the concentric axis. The nested half cylinders are actuated to pivot 90 degrees oppositely around the concentric axis and aligned pivot pins to close non-compressively around free flowing granular material in a closed cylindrical hoist bucket, thereby saving the additional weight and strength of material and the actuating energy therefor required for compressive loading of hoist buckets having off center or non-concentric axis of pivot. Additionally, the non-compressive loading does not move the granular material nor overflow the closed cylindrical hoist bucket to pollute the environment with dust therefrom.

Abstract: A two row harvester running gear is of a tricycle type with all wheels being hydraulically driven and with a center rear wheel that is steerable and smaller than the two front wheels. The running gear configuration provides sharper turns in muddy fields without bulldozing, and space for side mounting pilers adjacent the front wheels and inboard of them to minimize the number and degree of changes of direction in cut cane travel. Closed loop and parallel connections of an hydraulic power system rotates all wheels for a common linear speed, and at torques relative to the size and positioning thereof for maximum traction.

Abstract: A spray cultivator having a frame with unequal rigid side elements pivotally connects to define between pivots a parallelogram with opposite sides equal and parallel. The frame is fixed by a first side element to a lift bar of a prime mover for pulling the cultivator over level and non-level fields. The remaining three side elements comprise the remaining parallelogram sides and the free ends thereof extending downwardly and rearwardly beyond the pivotal connections of the parallelogram. A second side free end engages level and non-level field surfaces with a sliding shoe. A third side free end that is parallel to the fixed first side element supports a spray pipe and nozzle that is continuously perpendicular to a field's level and non-level surfaces at a constant height thereabove responsive to the field surface engagement and pivotal parallelogram connections of the frame side elements.

Abstract: A plurality of radially arranged and neutron absorbing baffles are stacked in vertical sets under the fuel core assemblies, and the whole enclosed in a bottle shaped containment vessel. The radially arranged baffles of each set extend vertically, and each set has double the number of baffles as the set above it in the stack. A melt-down of a fuel core assembly drops the fissioning nuclear fuel into the stacked sets of baffles, there, as it passes through, to be progressively divided, redivided and dispersed in smaller and smaller masses between the doubling number of baffles in safe fuel pellet size. Neutron absorbing containment prevents contamination of the environment and together with cooling means stops fissioning of fuel.
