Abstract: Gate has two carton restrainers. First restrainer holds the lead carton in magazine stack while the second is inoperative. For take-down of the lead carton, first restrainer is moved away while at the same time the second restrainer engages and holds the carton next to the lead carton to prevent the same (and the cartons behind it) from popping out of the gate.

Abstract: Composite oven door and hinge which is fixedly but detachably mounted on a stove. The door is pivotal between closed, broil and open positions and the hinge provides for counterbalancing in moving between broil and open positions.

Abstract: Structural improvements in the mechanisms for supporting and driving the blade of an orbital saw. Improvements in the controls for the drive mechanisms for the winder and for the saw blade particularly as to increasing or decreasing the production rate of specified stick lengths.

Abstract: Dating wheel with a tracer symbol unit which can be manually inserted on or removed from the wheel. To change the tracer symbol, the operator simply uses thumb and forefinger to grasp the unit and extract same and then replace with an identical unit having a different symbol. This can be done without slowing or stopping the cases or other medium being printed. There is no machine down-time.

Abstract: Dividers and cartons are intermittently fed into the machine which automatically assembles the same by inserting one or more dividers into the carton and gluing tabs on the dividers to opposite panels of the carton. The machine has a magazine to feed in the dividers, a carton transporter to feed in the cartons, die means to bend edges of the divider to form the tabs, means to apply glue to the tabs, means to develop bonding pressure between tabs and panels together with a divider transporter. The divider transporter picks-off a divider from the magazine, deposits it in the die means for tab forming and then moves the formed divider into a carton while the tabs are sprayed with glue and then pressure bonded to opposite carton panels.

Abstract: Taking a four panel carton and inserting a divider having end tabs coated with adhesive into the carton and pressing the tabs against the pair of opposite panels to secure the panels and tabs together.

Abstract: Power and communication service fitting buried in concrete beneath the floor covering so as to be out-of-sight. Only the power/communication service cables from the fitting below extend above the floor covering surface. A cover is easily removable to provide access to the interior.

Abstract: Apparatus supports a chair at the side of a pool in position to receive handicapped person. Chair is rotated out over the water and then lowered into the water where the occupant glides or pushes off for a swimming or therapy session. The chair is adapted to receive the person after the session and then is raised out of the water and rotated back to the poolside position so the person can leave the chair.

Abstract: Method and equipment employed on a conventional paver makes a tapered joint between adjacent paved sections. Joint has two wedge shaped, highly compacted, overlying layers.

Abstract: Anti-rattle, disengagable hinge comprising two members respectively having mating concave and convex surfaces held together by wire-form spring. Spring prevents rattle but allows relative sliding motion of surfaces over an arc. Surfaces can be disengaged at one end of the arc.

Abstract: A pair of self-clamping couplings are secured to the opposite walls of a feeder duct. The ends of a pair of branch ducts are respectively supported on the couplings. A cover closes off the space between the branch ducts and is held in position by engagement with the ends of the branch ducts.

Abstract: Flat folded four-panel case is set up in a vertical takedown plane. The case is pulled out of the plane and manipulated to cause the four panels to move relative to each other so that the case assumes a diamond shape. The case is then partially erected. Next, one of the panels is held fixed (with the others being free to move) and a bottom flap is folded inwardly. This transmits forces to the panels so that the diamond shape changes to a square shape and the case is fully erected.

Abstract: Providing solder on electrical spring contacts being stamped in a press by arranging the press to form a mounting section on the contact, position a segment of solder adjacent the mounting section, cut the segment, and then wrap the same over the mounting section.

Abstract: A pair of arms pivotally connected for relative rotation and a brake actuated by a rotatable lever positionable from either side of the level to restrain the arms against relative rotation or to allow the arms to freely rotate.

Abstract: Plunger on a microswitch is provided with ball means arranged so that the ball means will move the plunger when contacted by a switch actuator moving in an axial direction or moving in any radial direction or combination of same.

Abstract: A group of elongated, thin wall, black, PVC tube-like tanks extending horizontally and parallel to one another in an array. The tank ends are connected to fluid inlet and outlet manifolds. Rapid assembly of tanks and manifolds is facilitated by loose joints between tanks and tapered apertures in manifolds receiving tubular inlets and outlets on tanks. Also, the tubular/taper design makes an interference fit and sets up ideal conditions for liquid welding. Each tank has built in protection in the form of retained fluid in the event of failure of the pumping system.

Abstract: Roll of a composite strip can be purchased by spring contact fabricator and fed directly into press for stamping contacts. Composite strip made as follows: Base or body strip fed out of a roll and continuously skived or milled to form slot extending along strip axis and having edge projections. Precious metal contact strip fed out of a roll and inserted into the slot and seam welded to body strip. Projections are then rolled over on contact strip compressing same in slot. Part of precious metal surface left exposed for making electrical connection. Composite strip wound into roll for shipment.

Abstract: A pad to be disposed between a load and a sling. The pad has at least two woven Nylon bands or layers joined together by a yieldable, flexible adhesive. The warp threads of the bands are respectively angularly oriented.

Abstract: A fixed frame mounted on a housing and a vent frame hinged to the fixed frame. The vent frame is moved between closed and open positions by a single-handle double operator actuated from the interior of the housing. The hinge and operator apply forces to create a continuous water seal in the closed position. The seal and hinge prevent rattle of the vent frame.

Abstract: A light weight, substantially rigid, C-shaped handle which independently holds three serially arranged individual erasers. A flexible foam strip is interposed between the handle and the individual erasers. Means are provided to maintain the erasers within the handle against the strip which allows the erasers to independently move in response to hand pressure.
