Abstract: A lounge chair cover includes an elongated panel of fabric having lateral edges and end borders. Back or end flaps are secured to the panel at the end borders and partially along the lateral edges to define inwardly directed pockets at the ends of the panel. The pockets are dimensioned to be inserted over the ends of a standard multiposition lounge chair so that the panel covers the entire top surface area of the chair while the back or end flaps cover only the outermost portions of the underside of the chair, elastic bands being used to snug the flaps against the chair. Additional pockets are formed in the back flap for convenient storage of miscellaneous articles. A cover flap depends from the back flap border and contains a hidden pocket for the storage of valuables out of sight. A pillow pocket is formed in the panel near one end for the slidable insertion of an inflatable pillow.

Abstract: A liquid dispensing brush primarily used in dispensing liquid cleanser. The brush includes a reservoir which holds a predetermined amount of liquid cleanser and an arm with a longitudinal passage to deliver the cleanser from the reservoir to the head of the brush. The head of the brush comprises several sets of bristles and outlet means to allow the liquid cleanser to flow from the lingitudinal passage to the bristles. In order to effectuate the flow of liquid cleanser from the reservoir to the bristles, means are provided whereby the brush is tilted to raise the reservoir higher than the head of the brush. A cap, with a flexible clip for easy storage, provides the tilting necessary to effectuate fluid flow. In use, the brush is placed on a flat surface in the tilted position for a predetermined length of time to allow a sufficient amount of liquid cleanser to flow to the bristles.

Abstract: A prevention against shifting of tip seal of a scroll compressor with a pair of stationary scroll and swirl scroll provided with spiral laps projectingly on an inside of end plates engaged with each other for sucking in a gas from a suction port and discharging a compressed gas from a discharge port, wherein a tip seal groove is formed on the laps provided projectingly on said pair of scrolls, a tip seal is disposed in the tip seal groove, which comprises providing a fixing means for preventing a discharge port side end portion of the tip seal disposed in said tip seal groove from shifting to a suction port side from a discharge port side along said tip seal groove, thereby preventing a leakage of a lap nose on the discharge port side.

Abstract: The present invention provides a device for fixedly securing a cap and body of a capsule together to thereby render the capsule tamper evident. In one form of the invention, the capsules are conveyed at spaced intervals along a predetermined path of travel through a treatment zone which is generally perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the capsule. An elongated bar having a tapered edge and positioned within the treatment zone engages the side of the capsule to produce an indentation in the side of the capsule which increases in depth from the entry and to the exit end of the treatment zone. This indentation around the capsule hermetically seals the cap and body of the capsule together so that the cap and body cannot be separated without destruction of the capsule. In another form of the invention, the bar is increasingly heated along its length so that, in addition to forming an indentation circumferentially around the capsule, simultaneously hermetically seals the capsule cap and body together.

Abstract: The invention relates to a circular saw blade of the sandwich-type, i.e. a blade comprising two steel discs (2, 3) on the periphery of which the cutting elements (5) of the blade are attached. In order to improve the vibration and noise damping properties of such blades an intermediate layer (4) of an energy-absorbing and solderable material is introduced between the discs and the discs are interconnected by soldering, preferably by means of a plurality of spot-like soldered joints (11), with said intermediate layer (4) serving as the solder. (FIG. 2).

Abstract: An applicator sheath for use with a microwave energy source for controlled heating of biological matter. The sheath has a chamber lined with a metallic absorbing material to alternate energy delivered by the microwave energy source. The energy is delivered into the chamber through a leaky waveguide.

Abstract: A child resistant closure having a visible external locking tab which cooperates with a locking stop on a container. A threaded inner cap remains sealed while the child resistant locking tab is locked from the position of locking to a tightened position. An outer cap is rotated to engage cooperating drive means for closing or opening the closure. When the closure is reapplied, the user is assured that it is sealed when he observes that the child resistant tab is engaged.

Abstract: A hand held light bulb removing device with means for illuminating the working area. The device includes an elongated handle, a frusto-conical member detachably secured to the handle, illuminating means embedded in the handle, and switching means to engage the illuminating means. The frusto-conical member accepts the light bulb of an overhead light fixture and provides the resistance necessary to rotate the light bulb. The illuminating means located in the end of the handle provides the illumination necessary to locate the light fixture in a darkened room.

Abstract: An adaptor for converting an electric fence post insulator from a wire electric conductor support to a tape conductor support. The adaptor connects to the wire holding fingers of the insulator.

Abstract: A motor control circuit for a machine, such as a granulator, having an intake adapted to receive parts to be machined. The motor control circuit detects the introduction of parts into the machine intake and automatically activates the motor for a predetermined period of time. Thereafter, the motor control circuit detects the presence of a machining operation through a vibration or sound transducer. In the absence of an output from the vibration or sound transducer, indicative that the machining operation has been completed, the motor control circuit deactivates the motor.

Abstract: In a method of forming an abrasive article a mesh material is applied with insulating material over areas which do not require abrasive, the insulating material being absorbed into the mesh material. The mesh material is then laid onto a surface of electrically conducting material and metal is electro-deposited onto the discrete areas of the mesh not bearing the insulating material. Abrasive is added so that it becomes embedded in the metal. The resulting material with metal and abrasive areas is stripped off the surface. The preferred insulating materials are ink screen printed onto the mesh, or hot melt adhesive perforated to define openings and then applied to the mesh to penetrate the mesh.

Abstract: A light fitting support member comprising a plate member securable to a ceiling or wall surface by plaster or like filling and settable material and providing an aperture for the reception of a light fitting.

Abstract: An ion diffuser has a frusto-conical surface made of thin metal in which surface are a plurality of emitter orifices. Around the perimeter of each orifice are a plurality of raised points that are angled toward a stream of dirty gases flowing through each emitter port. Submicron particles are ionized as they pass through the orifices when the metal is energized positively from a high voltage powerpack. A fan, to which are connected filaments, rotates above the frusto-conical surface and the submicron particles are collected by the filaments.
