Abstract: A resilient seal material is compressibly held against the side of a lined bearing at the juncture between the inner and outer race of the bearing with a formed ring fastened to the side of the outer race. The formed ring extends outward with the inner diameter of the ring contacting the outer surface of the inner race.

Abstract: A hand-tool housing a pneumatic and a hydraulic piston joined together with a common piston rod, and separated into an air chamber and a hydraulic chamber by a stationary divider through which the piston rod is sealed for free movement is used as a pulling device. Compressed air moves the puller to a starting position, and an air powered hydraulic unit supplies hydraulic pressure to effect the pulling cycle. Sequencing of the complete pulling cycle is controlled by a trigger actuated air valve mounted in the hand tool.

Abstract: A device for continuously pressurizing and curing resin impregnated multilayered reinforcements into an elongated laminated composite structure. The layer passes through a multi-segmented die located in an opening in a microwave applicator or curing chamber. The chamber is pneumatically pressurized to exert pressure on the die segments.

Abstract: A two part tool for aligning a pair of shafts. One tool part has two surfaces at 90 degrees from each other with each surface having a series of parallel lines, and an instrument for measuring distances parallel to an axis of a shaft from both a horizontal and a vertical direction. The second tool part provides for extending two clear parallel lined members to extend over and cover the cooperating lined surfaces on the first tool part and exhibit a Moire fringe pattern if the shafts are not angularly aligned, and an extendable target to cooperate with the instrument for measuring displacement parallel to the axis of the shaft.

Abstract: A lubricator for an automatic riveter positions an absorbent pad containing a liquid lubricant in the path of the riveter's drill bit when the bit is being moved laterally. The absorbent pad is resiliently held to ensure contact between the pad and the drill bit. When drilling only, the pad is mounted at an angle to a cylinder and is driven back and forth by the cylinder to contact the drill bit and transfer lubricant.

Abstract: Titanium is advanced by increments through a heated pressurized die to yield a sized stress relieved part. Temperature zones are controlled across the die. Titanium as it advances in steps through the die allows time for soaking at forming temperatures and provides for advancement in steps to control outlet temperatures.

Abstract: Chromic acid anodized aluminum is placed in an enclosed container and covered with an aqueous alkali metal hydroxide solution. The rate of formation of hydrogen gas generated by the chemical interaction of the aluminum and the hydroxide determines corrosion resistance of the anodic film.

Abstract: A high density honeycomb with a unidirectional reinforcing fiber located on each face makes up a primary load carrying member. A low density honeycomb material in combination with the load carrying member makes up the core of a structural member which is completed by the core being encased in a reinforced plastic.

Abstract: An adjustable regulator and a cycle initiating firing pin are mounted in the handle of a casing which contains a flux concentrator. The adjustable regulator sets the amplitude of current from a control panel to the flux concentrator through a flexible multi-conductor cable. The flux concentrator is separately encased and detachably mounted to the casing.

Abstract: A rigid and an axially movable tool for squeeze forming a rivet, each having a facing resilient member to contact a part to be riveted, to center the rivet between the clamping tools, and to float the part to be riveted to symmetrically form the rivet.

Abstract: A device for scraping ice or frost from vehicle windows and windshields. A substantially flat flexible member, an edge of which follows the contour of a to be cleared surface has a series of recesses on one side of the member to break up the frozen surface prior to turning the member over for final clearing.

Abstract: A relatively inexpensive but highly reliable electrically powered hose winding mechanism, particularly well adapted for rewinding auxiliary fire hose and the like. In the disclosed perferred embodiment, a smooth horizontally disposed rolling table has a free rolling hose guide means located near its outer edge, and a flush mounted wind plate means centrally located in an opening near its center. A pivotally mounted conventional electrical motor applies the power through pulleys and belts and a special pivotally mounted intermediate speed reduction means to allow reduction in r.p.m. from a range utilized in a conventional small electric motor to a range suitable for winding of hose. A variable speed control is preferably provided to assist the operator, and a special garden hose adapter is disclosed.

Abstract: An insert of a material to be electrically and thermally insulating enters into and is joined to a socket-shaped metallic base which in turn is fastened to a structure through a hole in the structure. The base is undercut, and the hole in the structure is filled when the base is fastened to the structure. An embossed lip on the socket is deformed inwardly to attach to a shoulder on the insert when the insert is bottomed in the socket.

Abstract: A flux concentrator has a pair of primary coils wrapped around a thin walled cylindrical portion of a secondary coil. The secondary coil has a conductive head at an end and the coil is slotted to generate a rapid high intensity axially acting flux at the head in response to a flow of current through the primary coils. A pulling force is generated as a result of a slow rise high amplitude current flow through one of the coils followed by a rapid rise reversed polarity current flow through the second primary coil.

Abstract: A coupling to support tubing both inside and outside. The end of the tubing is swaged by a press-fit sleeve onto a tubular insert having exterior serrations and the tubing becomes permanently held between the insert and the sleeve. In a variation a ring encircles the end of the tubing. This ring and the tubing are swaged together to become fastened between the insert and the sleeve.

Abstract: A planter with an open mesh wire embedded in an aggregate that is shaped with a smaller diameter at the lip, and the outside surface of the planter is coveredwith small rocks that extend out from the aggregate. In another version the planter has an open ended plastic container covered with an aggregate having a wire mesh embedded in the aggregate.A planter is formed on a machine geared to slowly rotate a platform and arbor for holding parts making up the planter while the outside dimension of the planter is being formed against a shaper positioned to remove excess aggregate and to shape the planter.

Abstract: A pair of members, one of which has a multiplicity of projections extending therefrom in a uniform geometric pattern with the projections aligned bi-directionally at 90.degree., and the other member has a multiplicity of recesses arranged to mate with the projections to allow bi-directional adjustment and also locking when the members are fastened together.

Abstract: A chromic-sulfuric etching solution for copper is regenerated in an etching container with a permeable diaphragm dividing the container into an etching chamber and a sulfuric acid containing chamber. Electric current passes between an anode electrode located in the etchant chamber and a cathode electrode located in the sulfuric acid chamber to regenerate the etchant in the anode containing chamber and to deposit copper on the cathode.

Abstract: A method of preparing a stainless steel surface for bonding by anodically treating the steel in an electrolytic bath, at a temperature of 60.degree. F to 180.degree. F, of an aqueous solution of sulfuric acid or an aqueous solution of sulfuric and chromic acids with an impressed voltage during anodizing of a range to remain within the passive region of the stainless steel.

Abstract: A ring fastened to the side of an outer race of a spherical bearing flexibly extends outward to contain a resilient material in the space between contacting corners of the inner and outer races and the ring.
