Abstract: Intermodal transport of the removably attached combination of an underlying drayable chassis with an immediately overlying cargo-carrying container having a forward-end and a rearward-end. In conventional fashion, the container adjacent its forward-end is removably attached to a frontal portion of the drayable chassis. Departing from the prior art, the cargo-carrying container, at a prescribed rearward-length separation from its rearward-end, is removably attached to a single set of transversely aligned plural chassis rear-lock stations. Thus, the container rearward-length extends unconventionally cantileverly rearwardly from and might overlie the container's rearmost attachment station to the underlying drayable chassis.

Flanking the fixture underlying trough are two plurally-tabbed rows. A flexible girthing band, preferably of annular shape and of elastic material, engages at least one ear-like tab of each fixture row and tightly girds the athletic club to maintain the fixtured forcemeter in removably attached, secure and operable condition to the selected athletic club.

Abstract: The inner-surfaces of heat exchanger tubing is cleansed with a sulfamic acid aqueous mixture and then subjected to a purplish-colored aqueous solution of potassium permangenate adapted to seep through to and become visually discernible at the heat exchanger tubing outer-surface to thusly visually indicate breach-faulted heat exchanger tubing. Any thusly inspected non-breach heat exchanger is purged with an oxalic acid aqueous solution and retained as acceptable for future re-use. The breach detecting method is generally applicable to all heat exchangers of the heat-conductive metallic tubing type, and, inter alia, specificaly applicable to dairy plate heat exchangers having metallic tubings.

Abstract: Vegetation cutting apparatus having a frontal housing deck overlies at least three rotary blade cutters arrayed leftwardly, medially, and rightwardly for simultaneously cutting a continuous transversely extending swath and centifugally discharging the cuttings through a central and rearwardly longitudinally extending cuttings chute. The vertical shaft for each horizontal rotary blade carries a sheave; a belt transmission means, emanating from a powered gearbox, drives the respective blade sheaves and also a reversing sheave, the latter ensuring that the arrayed rotary blades direct vegetation cuttings toward the central discharge chute. A novel spring-loaded device maintains constant tension upon the circuitous belt transmission means.

Abstract: A perilously overheated-axle of an over-the-road motor vehicle can be sensed with a novel temperature responsive gauge of the fusible link and spring-loaded button type. When an over-heated-axle melts the gauge fusible link and propels the gauge spring-loaded button toward a plunger surrounded by a tubular fitting for the axle hubcap plug, the plunger is rammed forwardly of the hubcap plug to provide a visually discernible warning that the axle has perilously overheated and requires immediate corrective servicing.

Abstract: Disclosed is a clutchable pulley system conventionally having an annular first-belt and an annular second-belt, both belts enveloping a plurally-grooved transfer pulley. Also in conventional fashion; the first-belt is constantly tightly trained with a power-source pulley and at least one primary-load pulley; and the second-belt is normally loosely enveloping the plurally-grooved transfer pulley and at lest one secondary-load pulley whereby the secondary-load pulley(s) will not rotate until the second-belt is made to tightly train with the transfer pulley. Departing from the prior art utilization of the idler-pulley principle for controllably tightly entraining the second-belt with the plurally-grooved and secondary-load pulleys, the herein disclosed clutchable pulley system supplants the second-belt idler-pulley by controllably moving the plurally-grooved transfer pulley along an arcuate path.
