Abstract: The comfort clip is comprised of a base with two arms integrally formed therewith and a latch movably mounted thereon to clamp the shoulder harness strap or lap belt strap at a selected position thereon.When two of such comfort clips are used, one on the shoulder harness strap and one on the lap belt strap a rod is connected therebetween to pull the shoulder harness strap sufficiently down so that it is comfortable on the shoulder of a diminutive user. The ends of the rod are held in place on the comfort clips by the straps and are locked in place by the latch.

Abstract: The main chaise frame has left and right side rails to which legs are attached. A backrest is pivotally mounted on the side rails of the frame to be raised to a selected rest position. A leg rest is telescopically positioned from the main frame and thereupon a cover is attached over the main frame, the leg rest and the backrest. A back angular adjustment, arm rest and foot rest may also be provided. A backpack is secured to the frame by attachable straps, and has shoulder and waist straps for carrying the combination.

Abstract: Apparatus has a forming die on a boom with the boom being positionable so that the forming die can be urged outward against the damaged wall of a container. Hammering on the outside of the container against the forming die reshapes the container wall to its original contours.

Abstract: The base of the illuminated screwdriver attaches to the light source, and the screwdriver shank is attached to the base. The tip of the screwdriver is a flat metallic blade inserted into the shank. The shank is made of light transmissive material so that light from the source is delivered at the blade. A shield is slidably mounted on the shank to slide from a position away from the tip to a position surrounding the tip. The shield is made of insulator material to prevent the blade from shorting between adjacent screws.

Abstract: The vehicle has a chassis formed of a front strut and a seat strut which are attached together so as to be angularly adjustable about a horizontal axis. The seat strut telescopically carries a seat post with a seat thereon. The front strut telescopically carries a front post. Angularly adjustably mounted on the top of the front post is the steering head which rotatably carries the front fork. A wheel is mounted on the lower end of the front fork. A power strut is also mounted on the chassis axis. A telescopically mounted post extends from the power strut and rotatably carries a rear wheel thereon. In this way, complete adjustability is achieved. Pedals are mounted on the chassis axis and are connected to drive the rear wheel. A motor may be additionally or alternatively installed. In addition, different kinds of wheels and different numbers of wheels as well as skis and the like can alternatively be installed.

Abstract: Where there is a relay controlling an AC power circuit to a load, the apparatus of this disclosure includes a sensor for observing arc at the relay contacts and a control circuit which controls the time of subsequent actuation or deactuation of the relay with respect to the alternating current power circuit so as to eliminate relay contact arcing.

Abstract: Hand-carried weapon has a stock offset below the barrel and receiver so that a shooter can keep his head below the barrel to fire from the protected position. A movable periscopic sight, when in the raised position, permits the shooter to see along a periscope-offset line-of-sight parallel to the axis of the barrel so that he can sight from a protected position. When the shooter has his head below the axis of the barrel, he can place his forehead firmly against the periscope to provide triangle support for the weapon with his forehead and two hands. When the periscope is in the lowered position, the shooter can hold and shoot the weapon with his eye on a straight line-of-sight through the sights, without being in the protected position. Secondary trigger permits the shooter to actuate the primary trigger from the protected position. The weapon can also be used to shoot from the hip.

Abstract: In a switching type DC to AC power converter a plurality (A-D, FIG. 6) of pairs of switchers (S1 and S2) are connected through inductors (L.sub.A -L.sub.D) to a load. Each set of switchers is switched to produce a square wave shaped output voltage (FIGS. 5A-5D) at a switch frequency (f.sub.S) and at a modulation percentage to produce an output voltage (E.sub.O) to a load, at a selected frequency. The sets are switched at phased delays, so that the ripple currents through them, when summed up, result in a ripple current I.sub.T at a frequency f.sub.C, where f.sub.C =n.multidot.f.sub.S, n being the number of pairs of switchers. In another aspect of the invention, means are incorporated to prevent the flow of currents between parallel connected amplifiers, characterized by zero output impedances.

Abstract: Puppet has a combined torso-head which has recess therein for receiving a beverage container. The puppet torso is insulated or has chilled gel therein to cool the container. The exterior of the container is in the form of a three-dimensional caricature including face and torso. The torso carries arms, legs and face, while the hat is the cover for the recess.

Abstract: Two-piece unitary sleepwear comprises night garment which embraces at least the upper torso and shoulders of the wearer, usually a child, so as to cover the child for the night. The lower portion of the unitary sleepwear is a blanket which wraps around the lower torso of the child and detachably snaps to the night garment portion of the unitary sleepwear.

Abstract: The table of a mitre saw has an extension table detachably attached thereto at each end. The extension table carries a fence in alignment with the mitre table fence, and the fence carries a movable stop and index scale. The stop can be fit on either the left or right extension table fence. The mitre saw is preferably mounted on its own base, with the base being provided with wheels for easy transport and removable legs for support. The left and right extension tables each have pivotable support legs and, when detached, the extension tables are carried and protected in a carrying case.
