Abstract: A system for dispensing liquid material with different configurations of air assisted fiberization or filament movement (e.g., meltblowing, controlled fiberization). In particular, front access for mounting a selected nozzle only requires adjustment of one lever and one fastener. Features of the lever and nozzle allow assisted ejection of the nozzle, even when the nozzle has become adhered to a die body through use. In addition, a nozzle mounting surface of the die body provides a universal interface to the various types of nozzles. An air cavity in the die body and air troughs in selected types of nozzles balance and adjust air flow.

Abstract: A transmission control linkage for positioning elements in a transmission housing in response to selector movement between at least four positions, and characterized in that two different selector positions correspond to the same positions of the elements in the housing. The linkage typically has three links, including a first link, a second link pivotally connected to the first link at a primary pivot, a third link pivotally connected to the second link at a secondary pivot; a linkage carrier means; and the first and third links pivotally mounted relative to the carrier means at tertiary and fourth pivots for causing the third link to rotate counterclockwise through an angular range .alpha. and then to rotate clockwise through an angular range .beta., in response to counterclockwise rotation of the first link through an angular range .alpha..

Abstract: Apparatus for transferring door opening or closing motion, in response to displacement of a door handle, comprises a mounting structure; the door handle carried by the mounting structure for push or pull displacement toward or away from the mounting structure; a rotary output element carried by the mounting structure; and motion transfer elements operable between the handle and the output element to effect rotation of the output element in response to the displacement of the door handle.

Abstract: Apparatus for transferring door opening or closing motion, in response to operation of a door handle, comprises: a mounting structure; first, second and third elements carried by the mounting structure for movement relative thereto, the first and third elements coupled to the second element, the second element carried for bodily movement in response to movement of the first element by the door handle, the third element being rotatable in response to bodily movement of the second element; a rotary output element connected to the third element; the second and third elements having alternative coupling positions characterized in that in one position the output element is rotated clockwise when the handle is operated in either direction, and in the other position the output element is rotated counterclockwise when the handle is operated in either direction; and the second element being in the form of a slider coupled to be displaced linearly by the first element when the handle is operated.

Abstract: A tremolo bridge for an electric guitar has a fine tuning mechanism installed thereon. Fine tuning screw heads 43 have coplanar top surfaces 44 which do not rise or fall as tuning is effected. When actuated, heads 43 move screws 47 vertically to act on strings 29 through string securing levers 35. With this structure, the tuning heads form an essentially flat surface providing a seat or rest for the hand or forearm of the guitarist.

Abstract: A tremolo plate is pivotally mounted on the guitar body, and a plurality of a combination bridge saddles and lever systems are mounted on such plate, there being one such saddle-lever system for each string of the guitar. The combination systems include saddles adapted to be pivoted by set screws to change string height. They further include levers adapted to be adjusted by screws to effect fine tuning of the strings. The heads for the fine tuning screws are captured by ears. The pivot means for the tremolo plate have a pivot axis so related to the string saddles that the intonation points of the saddles may be adjusted between positions closer to the guitar neck than is such axis, and positions farther from the guitar neck than is such axis.
