Eraser plug 12 can be extended out of sleeve 11 or retracted into it by means of barbed piston 13 impaled within the other end of eraser plug 12. Push tab 14 attached to piston 13 extends out through an elongated slot in sleeve 11 to provide a means of sliding piston 13 and eraser plug 12 within sleeve 11.

Abstract: Golf cart heater (10) has golf cart adapter bracket (15) secured to the dash (2) or a front panel within the cab of golf cart (1). Golf cart adapter bracket (15) generally has a front planar member (16) including a arcuate cutout (17) for receiving a propane bottle (12). A gas fuel burning heating element (11) is rigidly secured within heating element cutout (17). A generally planar base panel (20) is angularly attached along a bottom edge of front panel (16) and provides a convenient mounting surface for the golf cart heater (10). A bottle retaining member (21) is attached to the back edge of base panel (20) and extends angularly upward therefrom, generally coaxial with carcuate cutout (17) to provide a bottle retaining structure.

Abstract: Deicer sprayer for deicing aircraft includes a deicer fluid container with an enclosed thermostatically controlled electrical heater designed for connection to an external power source to heat deicer fluid prior to its application to an aircraft wing. A flexible line having a hand operated valve, a wand and an adjustable spray nozzle connected to the container allow directed delivery of the deicing fluid. The deicer fluid container can be enclosed within a thermal insulation blanket which helps to maintain the deicer fluid temperature during system use. Attached to the deicer fluid container is a carrying strap and harness which permits the individual user to move about easily during the operation of the portable deicer sprayer system while deicing aircraft.

Abstract: A foot operated mortar drum latch assembly having V-stop tab 15 extending normally from drum end wall 25. A latch bar 14 is provided, and is pivotally attached to upright frame strut 24 adjacent to drum end wall 25 for frictional engagement with V-stop tab 15. Foot peg 12 attached to pivot arm 11 is positioned at the bottom of upright frame strut 24. Extension arm 13 connects pivot arm 11 to latch bar 14 such that when foot peg 12 is depressed latch bar 14 is pivoted out of engagement with V-stop tab 15.

Abstract: An apparatus for applying sprout inhibiting chemicals to stored potatoes using installed storage air system at a reduced air flow having frequency generator 24 serially connected between power supply control box 23 and fan motor 12 for air supply fan 11 to reduce the frequency of power supply to fan motor 12 in order to reduce the amount of air being delivered to stored potatoes 22 to less than 5 SCFM per ton of potatoes stored. By reducing air flow to less than 5 SCFM loss of sprout inhibiting chemical by agglomeration and impingement with the surfaces of the air handling system is substantially reduced.

Abstract: Ornamental light mounting strip 10 having an elongated resilient base 11 and removably attached light socket holders 13.

The previously described second receiving channel 18 and rib 12 provide for adjustable attachment of the light socket holder 13 to the elongated base 11.

Abstract: A suboccipital pillow 10, for applying hot and/or cold treatments to the neck and suboccipital areas is provided, having a generally crescent shape, one side of which is fitted with a lightly insulated pocket 15a and the other side of which is fitted with a heavily insulated pocket 12a. Pillow 10 is filled with a soft cushion, such as a polyester fiber batting. Both pockets 12a and 15a have triangular tongues 16 and 17 attached to their open sides. Tongues 16 and 17 overlap and attach one to the other via a suitable fastener. A crescent shaped gel pack 21 is provided which may either be cooled in a refrigerator or freezer or heated in boiling water or in a microwave oven. After gel pack 21 has reached the desired temperature it is inserted in the appropriate pocket and the pocket is closed by overlapping and fastening the two tongues 16 and 17.

Abstract: A lightweight, portable apparatus for measuring and custom fitting golf clubs to an individual golfer is provided. A lengthwise adjustable club shaft pivotally mounted on a base plate includes a protractor-type scale at the pivot point to set the desired lie angle and a linear scale marked on the shaft to indicate the length of the shaft. Once the desired lie angle and shaft length are determined, the address distance is measured and marked on the shaft of the custom golf club thus obtained.

Abstract: A slug detection and prevention apparatus 10 and method therefor, which includes a detector 1, high pass filter 2, low pass filter 3, half-wave rectifier 4, comparator 5, and relay 6. Detector 1, being an accelerometer, condenser microphone, or the like, is electrically connected to high pass filter 2. High pass filter 2 is electrically connected to a low pass filter 3 whose output is electrically connected to a half-wave rectifier 4. The output of half-wave rectifier 4 is electrically connected to a comparator 5 which is also electrically connected to a separate voltage source, the magnitude of which corresponds to the energy present in the pass band or a normally operating compressor. The output of comparator 5 is electrically connected to relay 6 which controls the operation of compressor 7. The vibration wave form of compressor 7 is monitored by detector 1 whose signal is filtered to produce an output between apparoximately 80 and 305 hertz.
