Abstract: A portable device for restraining a four-legged animal for purposes of administering medical or other physical treatment that requires the animal to be held against moving its legs or making other bodily movements during such procedures; such device comprises in part a plate member against the one surface of which the back of the animal is placed. Mounted on the backing plate are restraining stirrups on the upper portion thereof into which stirrups the animal's rear or front legs are placed, with such legs locked thereto by a retractable locking mechanism. The holding plate on the device is affixed on the bottom thereof to a vertical stanchion which can be positioned on a fence post or other vertical post for holding the device in a substantially upright position.

Abstract: The subject invention is an emergency fan belt replacement for use in motor vehicles as a temporary remedial measure to supplant the installed conventional fan belt whenever the latter might fail or otherwise become severed during operations. Specifically, the subject invention is a temporary fan belt replacement, with the same cross-sectional configuration and girth as compared to the conventionally used and installed fan belt. The temporary belt herein has a buckle integrally attached to one end of the belt and which buckle receives the opposite, free end of the belt. Further, such buckle is adapted to shorten or lengthen the temporary belt to conform to the required radial distance between the crankshaft pulley and the pulley for the water pump. The aforesaid buckle is further comprised of clip means to lock the free end of the belt protruding beyond the mouth of buckle so that such free end cannot interfere with the revolutionary movements of the subject belt.

Abstract: A docking and mooring device for water borne vessels, such device being structured to automatically adjust for water level variations and conditions alongside the mooring location. The device comprises one or more vertically positioned structures on which are mounted pulley systems, with each vertically disposed pulley system encompassing a closed looped line; said closed loop line being indirectly tied to a portion of the moored boat. Such closed loop on each pulley system is vertically disposed and drawn over upper and lower disposed pulleys, so that such closed loop can be freely moved up and down with water level variations or changes in water conditions, and with the vessel being indirectly tied to said closed loop, the vessel itself will also move up and down with said conditions.

Abstract: A supporting and holding device for maintaining gasoline pump handles in the raised, open position without the necessity of manual assistance. Said holding device comprises a longitudinal, insertable member adapted to be conformably placed, on a temporary basis, between the lower frontal part of the pivotally movable handle member and the upper inside portion of the bottom member of the frame supporting the handle apparatus. Said holding device comprises a longitudinally extending frontal portion on its one end, which frontal portion is configured over its upper surface in an appropriate shape to conformingly lie between the bottom of the handle member and the frame, as stated, in a supportive fashion to keep the handle raised in the open position without requiring the usual manual assistance.

Abstract: An automatically actuated tire mounting and demounting machine flexibly equipped for mounting tires on rims of all configuration, said machine comprising coordinated working elements which mount a resiliently composed tire on a rim and simultaneously inject air pressure into the tire interior as the tire is at the final steps of its mounting process. Moreover, the machine incorporating the subject invention comprises a base member upon which a tire mounting block is affixed, this tire mounting block being so structured to receive a bare tire rim in a horizontal position for installation of the tire member thereon.

Abstract: A computer adapted for metric conversions from the English system of measurement to metric, and reciprocally back to English from metric, comprising a control panel with dual window to give a simultaneous visual reading of the input and output factors, with control units to switch the conversion control system to one of a series of metric conversion media; said computer having an electronic system with conversion means from English units to metric units, and conversely metric units to English units in each of several physical measurement classifications.

Abstract: An electrical-mechanical device comprised of coin counters and electrical indicators to register and determine the number of plays or games a player has payed for, in coin, for a round of a given game; the subject device being comprised of a coin receptacle designed to receive and register a number of coins inserted for playing a number of games, with an electrical-mechanical register to indicate the exact number of coins placed in the receptacle for a given game. A master register control panel is provided for canceling any previously activated indicators after a given game.

Abstract: A machine for wrapping a plurality of individual packages, or other containers arranged in a bundle, with a stretchable material, of generally transparent constituency, said machine including automatic means to wrap said bundle of packages with successive layers of such overlapping stretchable material, and said machine including additional automatically actuated holding and cutting bars which serve to cut the trailing edge of said wrapped material while the wrapping material is disposed in a vertical position, with further means on said machine to position said holding and cutting bars in a position beneath the load to be wrapped in order that said holding and cutting bars do not interfere with the wrapping cycle. Said holding and cutting bars may optionally have electrically headed resistance wires integrally disposed therein for facilitating the process of cutting the wrapping material at the end of the wrap cycle.

Abstract: A multi-purpose carrier for external attachment to a land vehicle, said carrier conceived for carrying objects which are too large or cumbersome to carry inside the vehicle. The carrier comprises a retractable platform which holds the objects, wherein the platform is rotatably pivotable through two separate movements; one such rotational movement being about an axis which is parallel to the longitudinal front-to-rear central axis of the land vehicle, and by this latter rotational movement the carrying platform is lowered at an angle with one end juxtaposed adjacent the ground near the vehicle so that an inclined plane is formed to facilitate the loading movement of the object onto the platform from the ground, and from this latter inclined position the carrying platform is then rotated upwardly to a level position for the carrying position. The other rotational movement of the carrying platform is about a transverse axis which is perpendicular to the longitudinal front-to-rear central axis of the vehicle.

Abstract: An extruding machine for the extrusion of plastic or other similar materials in variegated forms comprising a series of bar members spaced from one another, wherein said bar members form by their interstitial spaces the extrusion chambers; said bar members having heating elements integrally disposed therein for the purpose of heating, to an amorphous state, the plastic material placed on and contacting the upper surface of said bars for extrusion into a receptacle beneath the bars.
