Abstract: This invention is a device for holding a flexible fine mesh fluid filter 30 in a container 12 while a fluid, such as paint, is being drawn from the container by spraying equipment 8. More specifically, the invention comprises a ring of flexible material 20 and a purality, preferably two, of elongate flexible members 18, ends of which are secured to the flexible ring, with their intermediate parts depending from the said ring, and secured together where they cross at their intermediate depending portions, and together with the flexible ring, forming a pocket over which a fine mesh fabric fluid filter is to be positioned and held. When so assembled in use the suction pipe of the spraying equipment with its filter is received within the pocket and held in the container to filter the paint, or other fluids as it is drawn from the container. In the best and preferred form of the invention, all of the parts above mentioned are in the form of coil springs, but it should not be considered so limited thereto.

Abstract: Unique crib or bed structure designed and constructed to combat and overcome sudden infant death syndrome by effecting an external and intermittent jarring stimulus to weak, slow and undeveloped body functions in accordance with the age and respiratory rate of an infant or other body reclining upon the crib or bed. In its preferred form in order to effect this intermittent jarring stimulus to a body reclining upon the crib or bed, an electronically controlled cam is positioned beneath the mattress supporting structure of the crib or bed intermittently when rotated to strike the underside of the mattress supporting structure, thereby jarring it in a manner effecting intermittent cycles of upward and downward motions of the mattress supporting structure and a mattress supported thereon, with a momentary pause or rest period between each cycle of cam rotation at which time the cam is completely out of contact with the mattress supporting structure.

Abstract: A connector for electrical wire conductors comprising a plurality of electrically conductive flexible spring wires assembled in a closely aligned side-by-side parallel arrangement, each wire having at least one shaped portion extending therefrom along the length thereof and cooperating with adjoining wires to form at least one channel for receiving electrical conductors to be interconnected, and a housing enclosing said assembly of wires and having openings permitting the insertion within said channel of the electrical conductors.

Abstract: A connector for electrical wire conductors comprising: a plurality of electrically conductive flexible spring wires assembled in a closely aligned side-by-side arrangement, each wire having one or more circumferentially shaped portions extending therefrom along the length thereof and cooperating with each other to form one or more channels for receiving electrical conductors to be interconnected, and a housing to enclose said assembly of wires and having openings permitting the insertion within said channels of the electrical conductors.

Abstract: A connector for electrical wires of the same or different gauges comprising a flat narrow rectangular casing housing two or more electrically interconnected receptacle units arranged in line for receiving and cooperating with resilient means within the casing for tightly engaging wire ends inserted within the receptacle.

Abstract: In fluid flow systems corrosion of the fluid flow passages occur as a result of the action of the fluid on the passage walls as it flows through the system. The present invention provides a corrosion indicator for use in such systems and which includes among other things a novel switch having a member which is responsive to a corrosive condition within the system to self-destruct thereby to cause actuation of a signal to indicate the condition at a time to alert the user that remedial attention to the system is necessary.
