Abstract: System for changing motor oil, consisting of two related containers, one to receive used oil drained from the vehicle, and the other carrying new oil for introduction into the vehicle.
Abstract: A wedge having two opposite faces lying at an acute angle to define a cutting edge and having a point that extends beyond the edge to assist in introducing the wedge into the grain of a log.
Abstract: A lubricant composition comprising water, graphite, an organic thickener, sodium molybdate, and sodium pentaborate. Other additives are sodium bicarbonate, ethylene glycol, or mica. The composition is effective in the hot forging of metals, is virtually non-flammable, and generates very little atmospheric pollution during use.
Abstract: Lifeboat in the general form of a hollow prolate spheroid having a hatchway opening in the upper portion and a weighted keel in the lower portion. The lifeboat comprises a main body having inner and outer skins spaced apart in a parallel relationship and the outer skin is formed with a recess for the storage of a drogue.
Abstract: Ski binding for use with cross-country skis, having a stamped sheet metal main plate with integral boot pins and a hinged wire clamping bail.
Abstract: A device for injecting an unpleasant odiferous substance into cigarettes contained within a package includes a hollow carrying case with an upper chamber for receiving a package of cigarettes and a lower chamber containing the odiferous substance. Hollow needles are arranged to extend from the lower chamber into the upper chamber for penetration into the cigarettes.
Abstract: A molding device for the manufacture of hollow plastic articles comprising of a two part separable mold, a pre-cast station, a blow station, means for moving the mold halves between the closed and open positions, and means for moving the mold between the preform station and blow station. The mold is supported for movement between the open and closed position by a single supporting spar and locking means are employed for locking the mold parts in the closed position.
Abstract: Ventilating device for rooms having air passage apertures and closure means movable by an electric drive between an open position and a closed position, a noxious gas sensor and electrical control means responsive to the gas sensor for operating the electric drive so that the closure means is moved to the open position when the gas sensor senses noxious gas concentration in the room above a predetermined level.
Abstract: Construction system consisting of a flat main body having recesses at its edges and a centrally-hinged connecting member having opposed parts that fit in the recesses.
Abstract: Clothing rack having a pivot mounting secured to a vertical surface, having an arm attached at one end to the pivot mounting by a pivot means to make the arm swingable in a horizontal plane, and having a rod with one end attached to the other end of the arm by a pivot means to make the rod independently swingable in a horizontal plane.
Abstract: A shear comprising a lower fixed blade beam mounted within a frame, a guide carrier guided for vertical movement in the frame and an upper blade carrier rigidly attached to the guide carrier by releasable connecting means for concurrent vertical movement with the guide carrier. The blade carrier is reciprocated by drive means which lowers the blade and guide carriers to a lower position where the upper and lower blade beams are cooperatively opposed on opposite sides of a workpiece to begin a shearing operation. Inclined guide surfaces are provided on the guide and blade carriers for allowing the blade carrier to move obliquely with respect to the guide carrier upon release of the rigid attachment between the two carriers to perform a shearing operation.
Abstract: A machine tool having an extendable ram carrying a tool at its free end and having a stiffening beam extending along the ram and pivotally connected thereto at an intermediate location.
Abstract: Drive mechanism for a rapier-type loom, including a timing belt to which the rapiers are attached and an operating means, including a dwell device, for reciprocating the belt.
Abstract: Chimney for joining a lower main sewer line having a vertical nipple to an upper branch sewer line, the chimney consisting of a pre-cast concrete bridge assembly straddling the main line and having a bore through which the nipple extends, the bridge being joined by intermediate sections to a Y-branch section having passages and openings for joining it to the branch line, there being a fluid-tight seal between the bore and the nipple to permit relative movement therebetween without leakage.
