Abstract: A time base video equalizer and/or corrector for video tape or disk machines including a precorrector and a postcorrector section. The device is driven by a master video source, corrected or not, and synchronization with a slave video machine is achieved for the operation of interfaced special effects video devices. The jitter and coherence imperfections of the master video signal are followed by the slave machine thereby equating or synchronizing their timing components.

Abstract: A disposable blade carriage for straight razors that have a holder member and a guard member pivotally mounted on each other. The blade carriage is removably mounted in a longitudinally extending slot in the holder member. The blade carriage includes a latching mechanism on one end that rigidly attaches the carriage to the holder member and a hook member that prevents it from falling off from the other end.

Abstract: A fishing device for manually controlling a fishing line that utilizes the pulling force of a hooked fish to proportionally oppose that very same force without requiring an appreciable effort on the part of the user. A finger grip assembly is hingedly mounted to a line guiding assembly and the fishing line is passed between them. The fishing line is guided from one end to the other of the guiding assembly and passed through a passageway that diverts the pulling force to help sandwich the fishing line thereby frictionally opposing the pulling force of the hooked fish. Brake plates are mounted on the inner opposing walls to provide the frictionally opposing force indirectly.

Abstract: A roof tile that has a top upper rectangular flat member and a wedged honeycomb frame integrally built on its underside. Grooves are formed on the underside of the top rectangular member and substantially adjacent to the lateral sides of the top rectangular flat member. A cooperating gutter member is positioned below the interface of horizontally abutting tiles to collect the water that goes through the interface opening and to discharge it over the vertically abutting roof tile in front.

Abstract: A machine for making cookies for removably mounted cylinders that spread the dough on a conveyor belt and the dough is automatically formed into cookies. Mechanism for sprinkling material are positioned so that the particulate material falls on the surface where the dough is going to be deposited and on the cookies themselves. A trap for the excess of the particulate material is provided by routing the conveyor belt appropriately. This allows using that particulate material again.
