Abstract: The handle includes an elongated grip constructed of a compliant material such as a molded foam rubber or plastic and has a pair of longitudinally extending parallel grooves on an upper surface, one adjacent each of the grip sides. The grip is molded about an elongated rigid member which serves to reinforce the grip throughout its entire length. A half-shell metal frame generally U-shaped in cross-section, has side edges received in the grooves of the grip and otherwise fits about the grip covering the top and part of the lateral sides. Mounting stanchions are provided one for each end of the handle assembly and are affixed to the top surface of a luggage case, beauty case, or the like. Each stanchion includes a stub shaft which is pivotally received through an opening in an end portion of the half-shell frame and reinforcing member.

Abstract: Waste materials of varying density are passed through a hammer mill for size reduction after which they are moved along a gravity path within a stream of hot inert gas. The stream of materials is intercepted by a transversely moving mass of heated inert gas that separates the lighter materials from the heavier ones. A manifold receives the lighter materials while the heavier items are picked up at a lower position by a sealed screw conveyor. An adjustably located table and damper plate enable varying the weight-cut.

Abstract: A smoking pipe having a rectangular, metal bowl with a cylindrical bore within which is received an insert having at opposite ends concavities of differing volumes such that either a small or a large bowl cavity is provided for receipt of smoking material. The opposite end or bottom of the bore includes a threaded member forming a removable bottom to the bore for cleaning purposes. The outer end of the stem includes a soft material annulus with beveled outer end portions. Immediately above the stem, a shallow opening is formed in the side wall of the bowl for releasably holding the end of a hollow container for smoking materials. A cover is pivotally located over the open bowl top.

Abstract: An I-beam has a pair of flanges separated by a web including corrugations extending transversely of the two flanges. Immediately adjacent each side of the web interconnecting the two flanges, there is provided a flat bandlike space free of corrugations. In manufacture, a flat, sheetlike web is welded to the flanges, after which the corrugations are formed in the web.

Abstract: A locking member is secured permanently to one zipper operator as a pull tab and is selectively positionable onto a second pull tab of another zipper operator when the two are located in juxtaposition. A rod-like detent within the locking member is movable under the selective control of a finger actuated member to pass into a loop on the second zipper operator locking the two operators together. A lock is provided actuatable by a key for securing the detent within the loop on the second pull tab and maintaining the zipper closed until affirmatively unlocked and released.

Abstract: A first version includes a flat, plate-like member of resilient synthetic plastic having one end pivotally connected to a stud affixed to the inner end wall surface of one luggage shell. One of a pair of elongated, parallel curved slots formed in the plate is received onto a second stud affixed to the other luggage parts such that when the two luggage parts are opened or closed on each other, the stud will slide along and be guided by the slot. The second stud has cross-sectional dimensions larger than the slot width which distends the plastic material between the two slots producing a resilient clamping action on the stud.A second version includes a metal plate with an end pivotally connected to a stud on the inner surface of one shell. A slot in the plate is received onto a stud on the other luggage shell such that the stud will slide along and be guided by the slot. A thickened ear is located immediately adjacent the slot as a stop.

Abstract: Goggle-like apparatus includes horizontal eye openings with vertically elongated opening wall extensions in front of the eye. In one version, the frame parts are notched with the intervening portions facing toward each other. In another version, the inwardly directed portions of the frame are formed to extend outwardly and away from the face of the wearer. In a different aspect, the goggle frames are of an undulating construction and at least one rod-like (or wire-like) element extends vertically across the central area of view of the wearer, one for each eye, the ends of which are affixed in the opposite frames.

Abstract: An electrical apparatus for killing insects has vertically disposed, concentrically arranged mesh electrodes interconnected by suitable switching means to a source of high voltage. The electrodes are supported at their lower ends by individual insulators establishing the lower ends of the electrodes both mutually spaced from each other as well as from the surrounding apparatus enclosure parts. These insulators are located entirely outwardly of the space between the mesh electrodes so that the region below the space between the electrodes is free of obstructions such that electrocuted insects will not be able to collect on the insulators and form an electrical short.

Abstract: The speed arrester is an elongated member having a generally semi-circular cross-section and a lower flat surface secured to the roadway, parking lot or other surface by an adhesive material. The item is molded from an elastomeric plastic having substantial rigidity and yet being capable of withstanding repeated flexing from automotive vehicles passing thereover and returning to its original shape. A pair of elongated open channels act to increase the resiliency of the speed arrester, such that as the vehicle wheels pass down the arrester back side when an automotive vehicle drives over it, the resiliency provides a forward thrust to the vehicle which can be sensed by the vehicle occupants.
