Abstract: A device for feeding primers to a cartridge reloading tool is disclosed. The invention comprises an upright frame having a primer holding tray at its upper end. The frame is hollow and defines a passageway for a chain. The lower end of the frame attaches to the primer inserting device on the reloading tool. Associated with the primer holding tray are two primer feed rolls which are spring loaded and actuated by the chain within the frame. The chain is operatively connected at its lower end to the handle of the reloading tool. As the operator actuates the handle to effect the loading sequence, the primer feed rolls rotate and progressively feed fresh primers into a chute attached to the frame and primer tray.
Abstract: A device for keeping score of tennis games and sets is disclosed. The invention comprises a series of bands which slip onto the throat of the tennis racquet above the grip. In the present embodiment the bands are elastic. On the bands are symbols indicating the relation of games and sets. The bands are color coded to indicate opponents. For convenience, a reference dot is mounted on the racquet. Rotation of the respective bands relative to the reference dot shows the status of games and/or sets.
Abstract: A simulated brick panel and the method of making it are disclosed. The panel has double expanded metal reinforcement and is very light in weight compared to similar articles of conventional brick and mortar construction. The panel is ductile and may be mounted on a wall merely by nailing directly through the panel. The composition of the mixture from which the panels are cast is also disclosed.
Abstract: A tool for perforating water well pipe casings is disclosed. The tool is designed for use with air rotary water well drilling apparatus. The tool includes a slideable casing perforator wheel actuated by a pneumatic cylinder carried within the tool. The casing may be perforated and subsequent development of the well carried out while the tool is in place. No removal is necessary to carry out well development.
Abstract: A rotary sampler for taking quality control samples from a falling stream of material is disclosed. The sampler includes an impeller which is driven by the falling material. As the impeller turns a hollow collector blade moves through the falling stream. Material within the stream is diverted through the hollow collector blade to a central collector tube. The device includes means for controlling the frequency of sampling.
Abstract: A dual rear view mirror unit for motor vehicles is disclosed. The unit comprises a mounting frame having an upper and a lower rear view mirror thereon. Each of the mirrors is independently adjustable. The upper mirror and lower mirror are positioned so as to define a substantial gap between them. This allows the operator of the motor vehicle unobstructed lateral vision. The lower mirror is mounted on the frame so that its upper edge is beneath the lateral line of vision of the operator. Likewise the upper mirror is mounted on the frame so that its lower edge is substantially above the said lateral line of vision. With this construction the upper edge of the upper mirror protrudes substantially above the cab of the truck. The upper mirror is tilted so that its upper end inclines toward the rear of the truck. This substantially aids in the dissipation of fog and rain which may accumulate on the upper mirror's surface.
Abstract: A tool for simultaneously finish edging the wet cement surfaces abuting both sides of divider strips which separate the wet slabs is disclosed. The tool has a pair of blades adjustable to accommodate a variety of divider thicknesses. One of the adjustable blades is spring loaded and floats so as to compensate for changes in the width of the divider as the tool moves along its length. A blade may be removed if only one edge is to be finished.
Abstract: A heat extractor for stoves or other type heaters is disclosed. The extractor is mounted in the firebox. The extractor takes air from the room and circulates it through a closed air path in the firebox where it is heated to a high temperature and returned to the room. Air from the extractor is also supplied to the combustion chamber in a controlled manner so that the rate of fuel burning is affected. Alternative methods of supplying and controlling air to the combustion chamber are disclosed.
Abstract: An anti-recoil boot for large caliber rifles is disclosed. The boot mounts detachably on the stock of a rifle. The construction defines two large pockets into which may be inserted large quantities of lead shot or other heavy ballast. The total weight of the rifle is thus significantly increased. This results in a substantial reduction in recoil when the rifle is fired.
Abstract: Apparatus for controlling fuel flow to an engine including means for disabling the operation of the accelerator pedal linkage associated with a carburetor is disclosed. The construction materially aids in preventing engine backfire. Included is a pivotable solenoid operated latch plate which forms part of an essential pivot point in the linkage arrangement and fixes the pivot point when current is flowing from the coil in engine ignition circuit.Solenoid operated means for stopping fuel to the carburetor and closing the passageway from the carburetor into the intake manifold are also shown.

Abstract: A system for controlling anesthetic gases exhausting from anesthetic administering equipment is disclosed. The system is designed so as to regulate the anesthetic gases in a manner which isolates gases and prevents them from escaping into the operating room atmosphere. A manually controllable valve having a rubber diaphragm to control the flow of gases exhausted from the system is disclosed.
Abstract: A vise for making field repairs on chain saws and chain saw parts is disclosed. The vise has two fixed jaws. Between them is a movable jaw. Additional clamping members in the form of wing bolts are threaded through one of the jaws. The vise also has an anvil upon which various repairs or operations such as hammering may be carried out. Protruding from the bottom side of the anvil is a mounting spike. The vise may be mounted horizontally on a stump or vertically on a tree trunk merely by driving the spike in with hammer blows on the anvil. Thus mounted the vise can be pivoted 360.degree. to facilitate positioning of the workpiece.
Abstract: A tool for reconditioning and reloading spent shotgun shells is disclosed. The tool has a movable table upon which is mounted a rotating die cage. The cage contains a series of floating dies for sizing the spent shells. A fixed tool head at the top of the apparatus carries a series of filling tubes and crimping dies. Means for rotating the die cage and the operation of the floating dies is described.
Abstract: A manually operated suction device for collecting samples of solid particles from cracks and crevices in stream beds and the like is disclosed. The device includes a squeeze bulb, a transparent collection chamber, and a narrow collecting nozzle for insertion into small openings. The device includes a plurality of curved baffles which direct collected material into the chamber and deter the material from escape back out of the collection chamber.
Abstract: A wrench for measuring torque electronically is disclosed. The tool includes piezoelectric means for generating a signal representative of the torque applied. The tool is capable of torque read-out in inch-pounds, newton-meter and other scales.
