Abstract: The invention is directed to a wedge for splitting wood. The wedge has a thin cutting member which has a first end and a second end. The fist end defines a sharp edge. The cutting member is disposed where the first end first engages the wood to be split. A wedge member is pivotally connected to the second end of the cutting member. The wedge member has a substantially triangular shape. The apex of the triangular-shaped wedge member is pivotally connected to the second end of the cutting member. The base of the triangular-shaped wedge member is spaced apart from the cutting member. The wedge member pivots as the wood is split to follow the grain of the wood to reduce the splitting force required to split the wood.

Abstract: The invention is directed to a gun for supplying a compressed fluid having a housing defining a passageway for supplying the compressible fluid. A valve is moveably positioned with respect to the passageway for controlling the supply of the compressible fluid. The valve defines an aperture and the valve is moveable with respect to the passageway to vary the position of the aperture with respect to the passageway to control the supply of the compressible fluid. A discharge end is located on one end of the passageway. The discharge end is adapted to receive discharge nozzles for the gun whereby the compressible fluid acts as a driving fluid for different driven fluids or solids. There is also provided a number of attachments which can be utilized with the gun of the present invention.

Abstract: The application discloses an ice guard for protecting a vertically extending piling positioned in a body of water from damage due to changes in water and ice levels. The ice guard is concentrically positioned around a piling and extends above the surface of the body of water. The ice guard is held in place by the surrounding ice. The ice guard includes at least one longitudinally extending sleeve which is made of a buoyant material and a means for restricting vertical movement of at least a portion of the sleeve. Various longitudinally extending ribs can radiate from the sleeve to enhance adhesion of the sleeve to the ice.

Abstract: The invention relates to an improved universal mounting for industrial luminaires fixtures containing high intensity discharge lamps. The luminaire mount of the present invention is adaptable to most of the accepted modes of mounting luminaries as specified in the National Electric Code. The luminaire mount includes a plate providing horizontal adjustment of the luminaire. The luminaire mount provides for enhanced safety during installation and maintenance. All current to the luminaire must be broken and the luminaire deenergized prior to removal from the mount.

Abstract: A tank assembly normally used in laboratories is disclosed. The tank assembly is modular including one or more channel modules and a connector module positioned at each end. The connector modules are of different types including bend modules and end modules. Opposed sidewalls of the channel modules each include an outwardly extending flange member at the top of each sidewall. A reinforcing member is positioned within each of said flange members.

The lower rpm range of the governor is engaged when the transmission of the vehicle is in a preselected gear.

Abstract: A method of reducing the liberation of dust particles from a dry particulate matter is disclosed. The particulate matter is transferred to a location where it falls through the air, a small amount of water is introduced onto the particles of material in the material stream, the water being added in the amount of at least 1.01 % and no more than 1% of the weight of the dry particulate matter. The wetted particles contact each other and are distributed generally uniformally throughout the remainder of the material. The delivery of the wetted particles is delayed by a period of at least one second. A smooth path is provided for the material stream after the uniform distribution and prior to discharge at the discharge location.

Abstract: This invention is a spinal misalignment detective and corrective apparatus for the back. The invention is mounted on a vertically extending member such as a door jam and includes a base member with two wheels mounted for rotation on a horizontal axis. Connected to the base member are support arms for removably holding the apparatus to the door jam. Such operative connection is achieved through a clamping mechanism which urges the support arms into a holding position relative to the door jam.

Abstract: The invention is directed to a detent and a method for maintaining a valve body of a valve in a predetermined position. The valve has an outer housing and a valve body is slideably positioned in the outer housing. A raised diameter section is located on the outer periphery of the valve body. A resilient detent member is positioned around the outer periphery of the valve body. The detent member has a diameter less than the diameter of the raised diameter section. The detent member is positioned to engage the raised diameter section when the valve body is in the preselected position. The engagement of the raised diameter section by the detent member maintains the valve body in the preselected position.
