Abstract: An improved bag closure imprinter is substituted for the various styles of printing devices heretofore associated with the closure applying system of the Kwik Log Bag Closing Machine, (No. 1081) shown basically in U.S. Pat. No. 3,163,972, issued Jan. 5, 1965.The new cold tape ink bag closure imprinter is fixed on top of the tower-like frame of the bag closing system and becomes an integral part of the bag closing machine. Although having its own drive motor and clutch, the printer is individually cycled successively at a given point in each cycle of the closing system so as to fully coordinate both departments of the machine.

Abstract: Quarter inch plate steel forms the bottom, front and rear walls of a U-shaped open sided saddle for mounting therewithin a 9 H.P. four cycle gasoline engine, the bottom of said saddle being clamped along its front edge to a 30 inch fixed axle on opposite ends of which are freely rotatable 14 inch diameter ballon tired wheels. Rectangularly rigidly connected to upper ends of said spaced rear and front engine saddle walls and continuing 46 inches forwardly therefrom is an inverted 4 inch square U-cross section sheet metal channel providing a drill supporting tongue for the tool while also housing a main shaft, the rear end of which journals in a self-aligning bearing fixed rockably on said rear engine saddle wall. Behind said wall said main shaft has a driven pulley fixed thereon which is belt driven from an engine shaft drive pulley when a manually controlled idler roller clutch means tightens the connecting belt.

Abstract: A special fan hub designed to neatly replace the fan idling clutch in practically all new and used American makes of automobiles and directly mount the fan on the fan drive pulley.

Abstract: A twelve inch straight rod manually actuated by a cross bar handle fixed to one end thereof, the opposite end of said rod having mounted thereon a device for engaging and hooking onto a certain type of oil cap widely used by American automobile manufacturers, and for unscrewing, removing and then replacing said cap without having to touch the cap with the hands, said device then being readily detachable from the cap.

Abstract: A delicately balanced but normally closed polished ball bearing sensor highly responsive to physical vibrations of its immediate environment having security significance. A ball bearing is confined within a cylindrical metal shell with a very slight clearance permitting free vibration of the ball within said shell and resting by gravity upon the rounded head of a metal electrode mounted axially in an epoxy block also confined within said shell, conductor leads being soldered to said shell and said electrode and the assembly being enveloped co-axially within an epoxy casting having a flat face covered by a waterproof pressure adhesive serving to secure the sensor to any smooth flat vertical surface whereby the sensor is mounted in upright vertical position.

Abstract: A flat structural steel frame impalable on the two pronged fork of a fork lift truck and thereafter insertable by the manipulation of said truck within horizontal openings provided in the bottom of a tote box whereby said box may be lifted by said truck, an advanced portion of said frame on which said box rests being rockably mounted on the balance of said frame and being power rotatable forwardly, to invert the box to dump the contents therefrom, and then reversely to restore the box to its upright position.

Abstract: A split plastic tubular annulus about five inches in length and six inches in diameter which is manufactured to be spring biased to cause interlocking terminal edges to interengage but being of a springy resiliency allowing the annulus to be sprung apart manually and thus fitted around a soldier's leg above a boot worn on the foot thereof and beneath a pantsleg thereabove, following which the pantsleg is drawn downward over the annulus and tucked inside said boot whereupon, when the boot is laced over the pantsleg, the annulus gravitates into the pantsleg, blocking out the latter at the level of the top of the boot.

Abstract: An external steel grating has seven vertical bars welded at their ends to upper and lower horizontal hollow cross bars, end portions of which cross bars are bent rearwardly and secured to a building so that the grating overlies a window opening and protects it against illegal entry.One end of the grating has a loosely hinged connection with the building and the cross bars are jointed near the opposite end of the grating and locked in assembled relation by a hidden bolt in one of the cross bars. A cable from said bolt extends through the last mentioned cross bar to the interior of said building, which cable, when pulled, withdraws the bolt from its locking position and frees the joints for separation by gravity allowing the major hinged portion of the grating to swing freely outwardly and affording a ready escape from the building through said window.

Abstract: A deep well elastic-tensile energy storage tool provided for incorporation in a drill string just above a fishing tool assembly, the latter embracing a fishing tool for directly engaging the fish, a conventional jar and one or more drill collars in the order named; said energy storage tool incorporating a cylindrical tubular column of molded polyurethane which is compressible axially one-twelfth its length to develop therein an internal reaction force of up to 125,000 pounds which is released by the jar for sudden application to the fish in a jarring operation.

Abstract: Inserted lineally in the output line of an oxygen supply apparatus between the regulator and the humidifier is a moisture trap. This captures moisture borne by a reverse flow of liquid from the humidifier produced by a vacuum occuring in the regulator when the apparatus is shut down and thereby protects minute oxygen flow orifices in the apparatus from impairment by calcification.

Abstract: An upholstered arm chair embodying in the structure thereof a water heating tank underlying and directly heating the seat cushion of the chair and hydraulic heating pads forming the surface cushions of the back and arm rests of the chair, and automatic thermostat regulated electric means for heating the water in said tank and maintaining the same at a selected temperature and for circulating said water from said tank through said arm and back heating pads and then back to said tank. The chair also provides means for applying linear traction to the spine of the patient while heat therapy treatment is being adminstered.

Abstract: A vertical tubular frame rigidly but detachably secured to the front wall of a bar at a right angle with said bar and extending out from under said bar at a suitable level to provide an arm rest for the occupant of a castersupported bar stool pivotally connected to the front vertical element of said frame on the axis of said element, with the back of said stool, when the latter is facing said bar, approximately parallel with and equidistant from the bar with said axis.The stool is swingable solely about said axis between an inner position, where it thus faces said bar and an outer position where it faces at approximately a right angle to the bar, thereby facilitating a person entering or leaving the space between the bar and said stool. The radii on which the casters turn intersect said vertical axis of said front frame element so as to track with said stool when the latter is swung about said element. Said casters are also adjustable vertically to assure smooth operation of the stool.
