Abstract: The present invention is an attachable rolling plate assembly which can be attached as a single unit to a portable cutting tool to facilitate the safe rolling movement of the portable cutting tool on the workpiece. The invention comprises a front wheel housing portion, a back wheel housing portion, and two or three metal rods which interconnect the two housings. The housings removably retain a pair of spaced apart wheels and means to retain a cutting tool on the housings so that the cutting tool can be rolled on the workpiece during operation of the tool while the cutting blade portion of the tool extends between a pair of adjacent interconnecting rod members. The front and rear wheel housing assembly receives the cutting blade in between its pins or axles, so that the entire width of the saw plate is supported by the wheels during cutting.

Abstract: A gun cleaning accessory for use with a gun cleaning rod and jag to safely and effectively retain the cleaning patch on the cleaning rod jag during cleaning and the method of using such device. The invention is installed on the muzzle end of a gun barrel and the cleaning rod inserted at the breech end. The invention has two body portions that hingedly surround the gun barrel muzzle and are held in position with a temporary fastener. The invention further has a front closure wall that is positioned in front of the gun muzzle to restrict the lengthwise motion of the cleaning rod. Using the muzzle jag stop during cleaning protects the gun cleaner from injury due to jamming or slipping of the cleaning and stopping devices and also from the accidental firing of the gun. The method of using the muzzle jag stop during cleaning also protects the gun from damage and wear due to slipping, marring, and repeated impact against the barrel of the stopping device.

Abstract: Novel apparatus and methods for a reusable, multi-layered diaper are disclosed. The diaper offers maximum health protection and ecological sensibility, with an ideal balance of comfort, cost and absorbency utilizing a unique multi-layered construction. The multi-layered construction comprises a first layer contacting a body, the first layer being a polyester wicking fabric. The multi-layered construction also comprises a middle layer associated with the first layer. The middle layer being significantly absorbent and characterized by the presence of viscose fibers to increase the absorbency of at least one middle layer. The multi-layered construction further comprises an outer layer associated with at least one middle layer. The outer layer being impermeable to liquids such that the diaper is waterproof. The present invention also comprises methods for making the reusable, multilayered diaper.

Abstract: The present invention provides an improved mattress arrangement wherein the outer portion of the mattress body itself includes a deck covering which may be a conventional fabric or sheet of waterproof material for preventing any moisture from passing therethrough and into the interior of the mattress. The removable mattress cover is removably secured to the deck cover about the outer peripheral edges thereof, as by zippers or the like, so that the removable mattress cover can be removed for laundering, washing, cleaning, or replacement. Different and distinct removable mattress covers or pads can be substituted for one another and changed with the season or desires or needs of the individual occupying the bed. Furthermore, the construction of the removal mattress covers may include upper and lower surfaces of natural or synthetic material with intermediate layers of foam materials or fill material and various single layer members or materials, such as sheepskin, or the like, can also be used.

Abstract: Inserts for facilitating dispensing of wrapping material comprising an elongated web wrapped about a hollow cylindrical core. The inserts are telescopingly received within opposite ends of the hollow cylindrical core and are retained by a force-fit cylinder freely slidable relative to the insert and adapted to be force-fit within the hollow cylindrical core, enabling the web supply and its supporting core to be rotated relative to the inserts, while an operator holds the inserts during dispensing and wrapping operations.

Abstract: Plural liquid containing bottles of differing sizes are simultaneously held in a cabinet in an inverted position so that the liquid flows by gravity from an orifice at the top of each bottle. A tension spring controls the vertical position of a first, fixed bearing surface for the top of each bottle relative to a second bearing surface for the bottom of the bottle to facilitate insertion of different sized bottles between the surfaces. A valve is selectively opened to enable liquid to be dispensed by gravity from the bottle through a dispensing tube extending through a stopper in the orifice. A vent tube attached to the stopper has an open end exposed to the atmosphere above a liquid-air interface in the bottle to assure the flow of liquid to the valve. The second surface carries the stopper and is on a plate that is detachable from the remainder of the holding structure and is horizontally slidable toward and away from a door through which bottles are inserted into the cabinet.

Abstract: The amount of beverage dispensed from each of a plurality of reservoirs in units at a plurality of remote locations, such as hotel rooms, is controlled and indicated. A central console, such as a hotel front desk, includes a keyboard for deriving data and command signals, as well as a data processor that responds to the data and command signals to derive addressing and command signals for the units. A display at the central console responds to the keyboard data and command signals to display the keyboard data signals, as well as data signals derived from addressed units. At each of the units, a liquid flow controller for each reservoir responds to an output of a data processor at the unit. The unit data processor responds to a customer input and command signals from the console to activate the flow controller. In response to a unit being addressed by the console, the unit data processor supplies signals to the console to indicate the amount of beverage dispensed from the reservoirs.

Abstract: A packet for containing documents and for providing thermal protection of those documents, the packet including a sacrificial ablating layer surrounding the documents, and a metal foil covering for shielding the ablating layer from contact with surrounding air. The sacrificial ablating layer of the packet may be comprised of a plurality of layers of paper forming an envelope for receiving the documents therein. In one embodiment, the envelope is formed by a plurality of stacked layers of paper, the stacked layers having a cruciform configuration having a central rectangular portion and a top flap extending from one of the edges of the rectangular portion, a bottom flap extending from an opposed edge and a pair of side flaps, the flaps being folded over the central rectangular portion to form an envelope for containing the documents to be protected.

Abstract: This system relies upon certain visual indicating and recording instrumentation which connect with an internal combustion engine and sense and record engine variables, including starts and loads. Visual indicating of these instruments by the operator of a motor vehicle so equipped encourage operation thereof in an economical manner. The recorded indications, when compared with each other give FER, a number indicating (Fuel Efficiency Ratio) which is a unique measurement of fuel efficiency and a tool to simplify diagnosis and cure of those instances of low miles per gallon of fuel.
