Abstract: A bracket assembly for securing an engine mount vibration isolator and for mounting an inboard engine on an engine support platform having stringers, the bracket assembly having an L-shaped member. A back-up plate sandwiches the stringer in between the L-shaped member and it. Longitudinal slots in the vertical leg and back-up plate provide for fore-aft adjustment and transverse slots in the horizontal leg provides for side to side adjustment. A horizontal plate with corresponding transverse slots is in a face to face relationship with either side of the horizontal leg of the L-shaped member. The horizontal plate has two recessed portions for insertion of a washer, each aligned with the corresponding transverse slot in the horizontal plate. The slots in the horizontal plate also serve to prevent the head of the fastening bolt or nut from rotating. Spacer plates are also available for height adjustment.

Abstract: The specification and drawings describe and show one or more embodiments of the present invention in the form of a compression glove for selective application for treatment of hand, wrist, forearm and thumb discomfort. Useful for prevention and relief of injuries caused by repetitive motions while handling implements, it has a flexible waterproof glove body with exposed fingertips. The glove includes a pair or series of layers of hermetically sealed material, that can capture pressurized air, when applied therein. It is formed through the patterned sealing of the layers of the glove together at select locations. This forms inflatable chambers that can selectively apply isolated points of pressure and support to the affected area.

Abstract: The present invention is a device, which generates a hydrogen and oxygen gas, preferably used for welding. The hydrogen and oxygen gas is generated by an electrolyzing process. Electrolyte is pumped into the hydrogen-oxygen generator where the gas is separated from the electrolyte by applying a direct current voltage across the generator. Oxygen is formed in one part, hydrogen in the other and then combined to form the gas. As the gas is generated, pressure is built up. When the pressure reaches an operating pressure, the gas is pumped via the plumbing system into the electrolyte reservoir, through a filtering process, and stored in a gas reservoir that is connected to a supply line. In operation the supply line is attached to a torch.

It is emphasized that this abstract is provided to comply with the rules requiring an abstract that will allow a searcher or other reader to quickly ascertain the subject matter of the technical disclosure.

Abstract: A device for securely holding an object on a motor vehicle seat is generally comprised of a frame of four elongate members that form a parallelogram. Two of the elongate members have an extended portion that engages the crease between the back of the seat and the seat bottom portion. Flanges are formed on the ends of the elongate members opposite the ends that are secured in the crease of the seat, and flanges may also be formed at one end of each of the elongate members which are transverse to the elongate members that are secured in the crease. These flanges prevent the object being held from sliding forward or laterally toward the passenger door. The frame has a locking and collapsing mechanism to maintain its configuration while holding the object and for facilitating the collapse of the device for compact storage when not in use.

Abstract: The invention is a compact bogie wheel carrier, which can economically transport a building structure to a home site. It significantly reduces the cost to consumers by eliminating the built-in cost to the home for axle wheel assemblies, eliminates the need for a flag car when returning the carrier to the factory, and requires the use of only a pick-up truck to return the carrier to the factory. In one embodiment, provisions can be made to easily remove the carrier from under the home with a hitch connection at either end. The structurally framed carrier includes pass-through holes for building structure lower frames which have axle spring hangers depending from the lower flange thereof. The invention includes provisions for holding down the lower frame of the building structure as well as provisions to maintain the frame in position with flange alignment and clamp down hardware.

Abstract: An emulsion for stabilizing aggregate utilizes an amount of soap solution comprising a mixture of water and a non-ionic surfactant and further utilizes a base mixture including a pine tar mixture and a drying oil, such as linseed oil. The composition of the base mixture comprises between about 1 percent and 70 percent, by weight, of the emulsion and the particle size of the emulsion is no greater than about 10 microns. When the emulsion is appropriately blended with an aggregate so that the base mixture comprises between about 5 to 7 percent of the emulsion/aggregate blend, the resulting product is suitable for applications, such as paving and roadway applications, or other applications in which the aggregate is desired to be stabilized.
