Abstract: A threaded closure having both a tamper indicating and a non-backoff feature which locks the closure to a container to avoid unwanted loosening. The closure takes the form of a one piece cylindrical cap with an inwardly directed bead at its open end. The cap bead engages a complimentary bead on the neck of the container as the cap is screwed onto the container, and the cap bead snaps over the container bead to form a non-backoff seal. The cap has a tamper indicating band attached to its lower end by frangible webs. The band and container have complimentary stop means which coact to restrain movement of the band when the cap is unthreaded, fracturing the frangible webs giving an indication of tampering or initial opening.

Abstract: A game device for holding and propelling a ball therefrom upon swinging movement which includes an elongated shaft with a chute member for holding the ball. The chute member is pivoted to the shaft for swinging movement through approximately 180.degree. of arc and the shaft itself is intended to be held much as a golf club for swinging movement through an arc of swing in the manner of a golf club for propelling the ball therefrom. One end of the club is provided with a grip having indentations to guide the proper placement of the fingers for achieving a standard grip such as that used to hold a golf club.

Abstract: A two piece safety or child resistant dispensing closure for granular or pellet material. The opening of the dispensing window can be varied to control the rate of dispensing. One piece of the closure is a cap which is attached to the container by threads or a snap-on flange. The cap has a pair of opposed circumferential windows in its top. The second piece of the closure is a flat cover with corresponding circumferential dispensing windows. The cover is attached to the cap for rotation between an aligned window dispensing position and a closed, nonaligned window position. A pair of opposed rocker arms which may be depressed by the thumb and forefinger of the user is used to release the cover from its closed position and rotate it to a dispensing position. Detents on the cap coact with the rocker arms on the cover to secure the cover and cap with any desired degree of alignment between the windows on the cap and cover to achieve metered dispensing.

Abstract: A front end loader mechanism for a refuse handling vehicle wherein a pair of swingable lift arms have a pair of pivoted fork arms for engaging a refuse container and lifting it to an unloading position, the fork arms being foldable relative to the lift arms when the latter are in a transport position to minimize the overall length of the vehicle and have a cam abutment arrangement establishing the minimum angle to which the fork arms can be moved relative to the lift arms in the unloading position to prevent interference between various components of the loader mechanism, vehicle and refuse container.

Abstract: An arrow nock comprising a cylindrical body member having a plug shaft extending axially to one side for insertion within a tubular arrow shaft to maintain the shaft and nock in axial alignment. The nock is further provided with a grip portion which extends axially in the opposite direction from the plug shaft. The grip portion is flattened and merges with the cylindrical body member by way of an inclined surface. Disposed on opposite flat surfaces of the grip portion are pad portions facing in opposed directions and adjacent to a notch which receives the bow string. The pad portions are slightly elevated above the surface of the flattened portion.

Abstract: A gas generator in which the gas is produced by a reaction between a solid metal and a liquid reactant. The generator is operated to produce hydrogen intended as an energy source particularly for operating internal combustion engines. A solid reactant is reacted with a liquid reactant under conditions in which both reactants are moving and continuously maintained under operating conditions. The solid is in the form of metal balls which are conveyed through a reaction chamber on inclined perforate channels. The liquid reactant is sprayed over the moving balls. Waste solid reaction products are removed by the rolling action of the balls on the perforate channels and the washing action of the sprayed liquid reactant. In the production of hydrogen, aluminum metal balls are used and the liquid reactant is a solution of sodium hydroxide. Because the reaction is exothermic, excess heat is removed by cooling the liquid reactant.

Abstract: A tamper indicating and child resistant package including a closure for use with a container having lock members. The closure has a top with concentric inner and outer skirts depending therefrom. The outer skirt is equipped with locking tabs for engaging the lock member on the container to prevent removal of the closure from the container. The locking tabs are deflectable radially outwardly upon radial inward squeezing of the outer skirt at predetermined diametrically opposed points which are circumferentially spaced from the lock tabs. A frangible, removable taper indicating means is provided to maintain the lock tab in circumferentially spaced relationship to the lock member and the squeeze points in alignment with ramp means on the container to prevent radial inward deflection and opening rotation of the closure until the tamper indicating means is broken away and removed.

Abstract: A lock and seal member for a dispensing package including a container and a dispensing type closure is disposed in a manner to fuse the closure and container permanently together. Removal of the contents of the container requires dispensing through a dispensing passage in the closure while the seal remains in position to lock the closure in permanent position relative to the container and also to form a seal preventing the leakage of materials.

Abstract: An isocyanate terminated urethane prepolymer composition having an equivalent ratio of NCO to OH from about 1.2/1 to about 5/1. The isocyanate terminated urethane prepolymer acts as dual functional additive and is prepared by reacting one equivalent weight of a polyol having an average molecular weight of about 600 to about 4,000 and an average functionality of about 2 to about 6 and preferably 2 to 3 and most preferably 2 and 1.2 to 5 equivalents of polyisocyanate and preferably two equivalent weights of polyisocyanate, and preferably a diisocyanate, whereby the reactants combine in a one-step addition process to yield an isocyanate terminated urethane prepolymer of controlled molecular weight to impart improved low shrink, dynamic impact, molding characteristics as measured by viscosity index properties in thermoset polyester resin products, and particularly sheet molding compositions (SMC) by covalently bonding to the polyester resin matrix of the SMC.
