Abstract: An applicator for applying fluid from a squeeze bottle to various parts of the body that may be difficult to reach includes two rigid arms connected by an adjustable angle joint. One end of the first arm screws onto the bottle. The other end of the second arm ends in a tubular connector such as a grease gun fitting. A flexible tube provides a fluid passage between the bottle and the tubular connector. A variety of terminals for different purposes can sealingly snap onto the tubular connector. The terminals preferably have a grease fitting for easy connection. The terminals may include an enema tip, a douche tip, a bidet tip and a suntan lotion spreader. The arms may retract telescopically for compact transport and storage.

Abstract: A battery charging apparatus for a vehicle having a vehicle propulsion mechanism, vehicle accelerator mechanism, a vehicle drive train mechanism and a vehicle electrical system includes a vehicle battery, including an electric generator having a generator output shaft drivably connected to the vehicle drive train mechanism, a generator disengagement switch, a generator circuit electrically connecting the generator to the generator disengagement switch and to the vehicle battery, a mechanism for connecting the generator disengagement switch to the vehicle accelerator mechanism so that the disengagement switch opens the generator circuit during operation of the vehicle accelerator mechanism, and so that the disengagement switch closes the generator circuit during non-operation of the vehicle accelerator mechanism to prevent loss of vehicle kinetic energy to the generator during vehicle deceleration.

Abstract: A semi-articulated railway power truck has in preferred embodiment a pair of dual axle sub-trucks semi-articulated for creep force balancing turning control while retaining freedom of rocking and relative longitudinal motion. An equalized centered bolster suspension and low traction rod linkage maintain high equalization of loads and tractive forces at the wheels to provide overall high adhesion and curving efficiency.
