Abstract: A moving coil capsule for a telephone handset is designed for high speed mass production. It consists of a carrier ring (1) and diaphragm (2) formed as an interim sub-assembly in a first buffer store. A coil (6) preparation and finishing stage applies the coil (6) on a former in the form of an aluminium dome (5) and inserts the dome (5) into a nest (7) in the diaphragm to form a first sub-assembly in a second buffer store. A magnet assembly (10, 11 and 12) is manufactured using quick curing glue with the outer pole piece (12) formed by an accurate stamping whose outer rim fits precisely in a reference datum (1a) in the carrier ring.The interim sub-assemblies and magnet assemblies are made one at a time, and the first sub-assemblies are formed two at a time from the interim sub-assemblies, but at half the speed.Final assembly of the magnet assembly and first sub-assembly together with a rear cover (14) is carried out and a throughput at a rate of one capsule in less than four seconds can be achieved.

Abstract: The disclosure herein describes an element so constructed as to inter-connect with a similarly constructed element in the making of a mosaic display panel, the element defining a rectangular body, the outer wall of which is provided with a longitudinal projecting guide and a longitudinal channel transversely spaced from one another; the channel has a cross-section so dimensioned as to include therein the cross-section of the guide whereby the guide and channel of an adjacently disposed similarly constructed element may interfit in the channel and guide, respectively, of the first element; each channel includes, at one end thereof, an entry pocket to funnel initial engagement of the guide of two adjacent elements to be engaged to one another in a sliding motion.

Abstract: The disclosure herein describes an element which is adapted for connection to other components of a diagram board, such as a mosaic display panel, which element displays a pair of legs depending from one sidewall thereof; the outer face of one leg is concave while the outer face of the other leg is convex; the legs are made of elastic material so that they are flexible in a first direction which is in a plane perpendicular to the sidewall and in a second direction which is in a longitudinal plane that includes the pair of legs to enable engagement with another component of the assembly.

Abstract: A portable beverage cooler comprising a hollow body having a bottom wall, opposed side walls and an open end. A lid is provided for closing the open end. The hollow body and the lid are each formed of a material having thermal insulating properties. Engagement means is provided in opposed ones of a pair of the side walls of the hollow body for vertically supporting a coolant container spaced adjacent a respective one of the other two opposed side walls and in an upper portion of the body above the bottom wall whereby a plurality of beverage containers may be placed in a lower level portion of the body with the coolant containers held thereabove and defining between them an upper level portion for containment of further beverage containers resting on the containers in the lower level portion.

Abstract: A portable cooler enclosure comprising a hollow base member having thermal insulating properties and defined by a continuous side wall, a bottom wall and an open top end. A lid is engageable over the open top end and also has thermal insulating properties. A cooling container is disposable in the base member for cooling air therein. The cooling container has a continuous outer and inner side wall. An inner cooling well is defined intermediate the inner side wall for receiving one or more beverage containers therein. One or more cooling compartments are provided in the base member adjacent the outer wall of the cooling container.

Abstract: A cooler is divided by an insulated partition into at least two separate compartments and a coolant container is positioned on the partition so that one surface of the coolant container is in direct communication with one of said compartments and a separate surface of the coolant container is in direct communication with at least one other of the compartments. Preferably the coolant container forms a removable closure for said one compartment.

Abstract: A small portable cooler for carrying cylindrical type beverage containers and foodstuff. A handle is integrally molded with the body of the cooler so that it can be carried by one hand. A cold pack is supported in a coolant chamber which distributes cold air to the cylindrical container compartments within the cooler body. A food container is removably secured to a back wall of the container body. The back wall also serves as a support surface for the beverage containers about the food container.

Abstract: A diabetic travel kit is formed by an insulated container having a cavity in which is received a cooling medium container having an annular cooling medium chamber surrounding a top opening compartment. An insulated lid closes the cavity. Preferably top opening pockets are formed in the peripheral walls of the insulated container, and the lid is provided with means to close the pockets when the lid is in place closing the cavity.

Abstract: A method of making yogurt by mixing a boiling liquid with cold milk in proportions to provide a mixture at a temperature of about 112.degree. to 118.degree. F. adding yogurt culture to the mixture, storing the mixture in an insulated vessel to permit fermentation to the mixture to form a yogurt. An apparatus including a container having a level indicator for cold milk and a second level indicator for a mixture of cold milk and a boiling liquid, one of said indicators indicating a plurality of levels in terms of temperature of the cold milk whereby the resultant mixture will have a temperature of between 112.degree. and 118.degree. F. when filled to the level indicated for the temperature of the cold milk.

Abstract: A yogurt maker is formed from an insulated housing incorporating a heat sink and a fermentation compartment. The heat sink is provided by a heated fluid (water) in a container and a thermal barrier partition is provided between the heat sink and the fermentation compartment to control the rate of heat transfer between the heat sink and the fermentation compartment.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for orienting a probe or the like in a predetermined angular orientation within a long, curved conduit at selected longitudinal positions therewithin. A steam generator tube may comprise all or part of the curved conduit. Curved extension members may be added to an end or ends of the tube to form curved lengths of conduit including the tube.
