Abstract: An adjustable railway car door kit having a bottom section and a top section which have front and rear channel-shaped post means that receive a reinforcement alignment channel therein so that the top section can be permanently welded to the bottom section through the post means and the extension, as well as the overlapping portion of the sheets that extend between the post means. A width adjustment is also provided through a integral flange on the rear post means and a generally J-shaped rear edge extension, which can be welded in adjusted positions to the flange.

Abstract: A one-piece plastic can lid 1, for use with a container of the lever ring type, has a periphery 20 which contacts an annular portion of the can wall 15, so as to center the lid 1 accurately relative to the can body. A recess 25 may be provided to enable a lever to be used to pry the lid 1 off the container. The recess 25 desirably includes a membrane 27 which is pierced when a lever is first used to open the container, so that rupture of the membrane 27 makes evident any unauthorized opening of the container. The lid 1 may also include one or more fins which form a seal in conjunction with an annular part 14 of the lever ring 16 of the container.

Abstract: A gas grill includes a cart and a cooking vessel supported on the cart with the cooking vessel having a lower gas burner assembly, an intermediate sear grid assembly and an upper cooking grid. The sear grid assembly includes inverted V-shaped sear bars that cause evaporation of greases from the food on the cooking grid. The cooking vessel has a lower removable grease pit for any unvaporized grease and a separate burner unit is supported on the cart. The cart also has a fuel indicator device for supporting a portable tank. The burner assembly is constructed to be assembled without the use of any tools.

Abstract: A pollution control system includes a condenser and filtering unit for removing vaporized organic solvents and particulate matter. The condenser includes baffles that define vertical flow paths, and hot exhaust gases are directed from above to alternate flow paths to flow downward while atmospheric air is directed upwardly through the remaining flow paths to cool the exhaust gases and the heated air is used to maintain the atmospheric air above a selected temperature. The filter unit includes a horizontal movable filter which is automatically replaced with a new filter section when the pressure differential across the filter exceeds a certain level.

Abstract: A marine unit for location on the sea bed has a cylindrical body and legs which are connected to the body by a pivot adjacent one end of the body. Each leg has a toothed member which engages a common worm driven by a motor. The legs are connected by webs of net. The body and nets nest within the legs for storage, the legs are partly opened for the descent, and are opened fully when the unit reaches the sea bottom to support the unit with its axis approximately vertical.

Abstract: A golf glove including a main body having a palm portion and a back portion with a fastener means interconnecting segments of the back portion and defining retaining means for a ball marker. The fastener means includes first and second layers peripherally interconnected to define a pocket therebetween and a cut-out produces a closure for gaining access to the pocket. The fastener or flap is connected to the main body through an elastic member that is inserted between the two layers of the flap and connected to the main body, while one layer of the flap is in the form of a fastener element that cooperates with a second fastener element secured to the main body of the golf glove.

Abstract: A portable outdoor grill including a hemispherical bowl and a hemispherical lid with the bowl having outwardly-directed flanges supported on spaced side members of a cart. The side members have lid-supporting clips adjacent the bowl that support the lid in an upright position adjacent the bowl. The clips are held on the side members for limited longitudinal movement by offset ends on an article-support surface to be assemblable without the use of tools.

Abstract: A plastic bobbin consisting of a hollow cone defined by a thin-walled sheath includes an inner skeletal frame of longitudinally-spaced circumferential ribs and radially-spaced longitudinal ribs defining an inner support surface for a mandrel with a sheath having segments of varying wall thickness and the outer surface having constant taper with respect to the bobbin axis. Some of the longitudinally-extending ribs may be partial ribs defined in each of the segments, the bobbin has a helical ridge of a particular trapazoidal cross-sectional to provide a guiding surface for the yarn being wound thereon.

Abstract: A birdfeeder consisting of a center column or post that has a multi-sided sloped roof on the upper end thereof and downwardly-directed abutments spaced inwardly from the outer edges. A lower support member is carried by the post and a plurality of identical compartments are configured to be inserted by sliding engagement with the outer wall against the abutment and subsequent inward tilting to position the lower edge over the support member to rest on the support member.

Abstract: A fume hood is fabricated of three or four like modules to a desired partial or full cylindrical structure having a reaction chamber therein. Each module has an upstanding, arcuate circumferential outer wall and an upper wall and base extending inwardly therefrom in coincidence above and below one another. The top wall and base have the shape of a sector of a circle with their apexes opposite the outer wall and the outer wall being the arc of the sector. An inner wall spaced interior of the outer wall defines an exhaust passageway therebetween with movement of gases and air being through exhaust ports through the inner wall. The exhaust ports are spaced apart between the top wall and base and are at constant certain distances from the top wall and base.

Abstract: Pipe varnish compositions effective to inhibit corrosion of steel pipe over appreciable periods of time of storage of said steel pipe, said compositions comprising a thixotropic overbased calcium organic sulfonate calcium carbonate complex; and a drying oil such as linseed oils; a drier, preferably of the paint drier type, such as cobalt naphthenate, zirconium octoate and manganese salts or soaps, or mixtures thereof; and also containing at least one member of the group of epoxidized oils, polybutenes, and alkyd resins; and, optionally, such ingredients as waxes, petrolatums and resins.

Abstract: The invention relates to a wide belt sander for the treatment of surfaces of materials where the sanding belt 3 is provided on the sliding contact 6 pressing against the blank 1 with air discharge perforations 10 and 11 provided on the lower side of the sliding contact for the formation of a dynamic air cushion 18 between sliding contact 6 and sanding belt 3. A pair of shims are located on opposite sides of the sliding contact 6 and are aligned with the lateral edges of the sanding belt to provide sliding surfaces for the edges and a sealing edge for the air cushion.

Abstract: A flavorizing element for evaporating greases in an outdoor gas grill consists of an inverted V-shaped member having a pair of flat inclined walls defining an included angle of more than 90.degree. so that grease will evaporate while flowing across the heated inclined walls. The walls have vent openings formed by deforming tabs in the walls.

Abstract: Apparatus for reforming an end wall of a container shell including a punch reciprocable along a path on a frame and a domer assembly at the end of the path. The domer assembly includes a domer pad and an annular forming element with biasing means between the pad, the annular forming element and the base. The biasing means for the annular forming element includes an annular chamber divided into spaced segments that each have a piston reciprocated therein and a pressurized fluid source connected thereto, while the domer pad is supported on a post that extends through a tubular column forming part of the base and has an enlarged pad at the opposite end which also is in communication with the pressurized fluid source to produce an end wall configuration that has a large outer annular arcuate portion merging with an annular flat support portion that has an upwardly-extending flat annular portion surrounding a central upward dome.
