Abstract: A miniature disposable nasal razor comprised of a handle, blades, and safety guard, used to remove hair from small confined spaces otherwise unreachable with conventional razors. An efficient inverted U-shape is applied to all blades and safety guard, otherwise maintaining the spatial relationships between blades, and blades and guard, found in conventional straight edge disposable shavers. The longitudinal axis of the shaving head is offset from the longitudinal axis of the handle providing ergonomic benefit to the user.

Abstract: A disposable half mask drop-down respirator system comprised of a face seal, mount, filter, frame, and straps; the disposable filter interposed between a removable frame and a mount adjoined to the face seal; the mount/face seal assembly supported on the user's face by one or more straps; the frame adjoined to the mount in a manner that allows rotation about the mount between open and closed positions, the former position used at times when it is necessary to eat, drink, smoke, or talk, without having to remove the entire respirator system and the latter position used at times when it is necessary to filter inhaled or exhaled air.

Abstract: A shield for use in the interior of an automobile, attached on the side window pane or door frame, to prevent the ingress of snow, ice and the like when the driver or passenger opens the door; containing attaching means and an inwardly extended lip therefrom; the lip being positioned in a manner to flexibly contact the overhead or side panel when the automobile door is opened or closed.

Abstract: An adjustable loop clamp assembly provides improved retention of electrical cables, tubes or hoses. The clamp assembly comprises a flexible strap with first and second ends. A base, having an elevated platform, a lower platform, a midsection, and two side supports, receives a second end of the strap in an aperture of the midsection. The first strap end is securably affixed to the elevated platform of the base. Support holes in the side supports receive pin portions of a locking cam, the locking cam further comprising a handle portion and a cam portion. A mount bolt is receivable in alignable apertures of the lower platform and the handle portion.

Abstract: In a gas turbine bypass engine having an inlet for gas flow to a core duct and an outer duct for bypassing a portion of the inlet air flow around such core duct, an improvement is provided in which a plurality of pivotal outlet guide vanes mounted on the rear frame member, aft of the low-pressure turbine, the vanes being hollow and upstanding edgewise in the path of the core gas with each vane mounted to pivot on an axis extending through the length thereof, with means to pivot the vanes on their axes so as to correct the swirl of turbine discharge gases toward axial flow through the nozzle of such engine, during high bypass ratio and low bypass ratio operation.

Abstract: This invention generally relates to load securing devices and in particular to an end connector member (10) having a lower portion (11) in the form of a flat metallic or like plate having a penetrable latch tongue aperture (14) contained therein for releaseably engaging the locking mechanism of a truck tailgate. An upper portion (13), integrally joined with said lower portion (11) is provided in the form of a circular ring or rectangular plate for securably attaching the ends of cargo restraining straps (28) or strap anchored end attaching means (32). The combination of connector (10) and straps (28) is employed for preventing both rearward and transverse motion of cargo carried in the bed of a truck when the length of that cargo reequires that the truck tailgate body (20) be used in the lowered horizontal position.
