Abstract: An adjustable golf club having means for adjusting the balance of the club and means for adjusting the alignment angle of the club. A club head is attached to the connection end of the shaft by connecting means at a connection point along the heel-to-toe axis and at a line-of-play alignment angle and a heel-to-toe alignment angle. The connecting means includes a slide fixed to the connection end of the shaft and a socket in the top portion of the club head. The balance of the club can be adjusted by linearly moving the slide along the heel-to-toe axis in the socket. The line-of-play alignment angle of the shaft can be adjusted by rotatably moving the slide in the socket. After the club is adjusted, the slide is secured in the socket by locking means to prevent the club from deviating from the desired adjusted configuration during play. A method of putting a golf ball with the above-provided adjustable putter. The adjustable putter is provided to the golfer.

Abstract: A device for straight traveling stabilization and change of attitude on predetermined paths for vehicle axles, comprising a permanent elastic energy loading unit which exerts on the axle stabilizing forces of a greater intensity than the external forces acting thereon, a shifting actuator which, when operated, exerts on the axle forces of greater intensity than that of the stabilizing forces and thus causes it to be steered, and a shifting actuator control member which is actuated when there are variations in the traveling attitude of the main steering system of the vehicle. The device permits the axle to which it is applied to be kept in the normal condition of a fixed axle and permits it to render steering only when the main steering system of the vehicle is subjected to steering.

Abstract: An oleodynamic steering control device for vehicles having a straight traveling stabilizer, the device comprising a cylindrical member containing a reciprocatable or rotatable element connected to the main steering system and operative to generate a fluid pressure which is transmitted to a steering actuator on an axle to be steered. The device provides a fluid bypass to a reservoir for a certain range relative to the position corresponding to the straight traveling condition of the vehicle. This relieves the pressures generated by small deviations from straight traveling, which occur at relatively high speed, and thus they are not transmitted and multiplied on the steered axle which is thus stabilized, affording greater traveling safety.

Abstract: A combined vacuum cleaner and steam iron comprising a housing having a substantially flat bottom, which housing being provided with a chamber for containing water and another chamber for collecting dust, a heating device mounted in the water chamber by which steam is generated and thus discharged through a passage out of the water chamber, means for connecting various suction tubes, which means being formed integrally with the housing, a casing connected with the housing, in which casing a motor and a fan are provided for generating a suction force which is operable to introduce the dust through the suction tube into the dust chamber.

Abstract: Tools to be positioned all at once are moved from a stand-by reach toward a positioning reach by means of a rotatable shaft, and respectively positioned at their desired positions in the positioning reach after passing an origin located at a border line between the stand-by and positioning reaches. Central computer controls count pulse signals transmitted from a pulse generator synchronously rotated by the rotatable shaft, and compensate set values for the desired positions for the distance over which each tool has been moved in the stand-by reach.

Abstract: Apparatus and method for removing excess fibers from the doffer of a sliver high pile fabric knitting machine and returning the fibers to the main cylinder for refeeding to the doffer. Upon the return of the fibers to the main cylinder, they are combed and aligned into a uniform layer of parallel fibers for uniform redistribution on the main cylinder and uniform mixture with fresh, incoming fibers fed by the sliver feed elements. The invention includes pneumatic suction for drawing fibers from the doffer into a substantially closed suction chamber, a rotatable filter roll within the chamber, which separates the air and the fibers and discharges the fibers from the chamber, and a sealing roll permitting the fibers to be discharged from the chamber without impairing the integrity of the vacuum therein. Fiber feeding elements composed of a rotatable wire-covered fiber return feed roll and a cooperating fiber feed plate return the recovered fibers to the main cylinder.

Abstract: Process for separating individual laminated sheets from a continuous web which comprises individual sheets located end to end with end portions overlapping and a continuous film laminated with each sheet and connecting the sheets together, the process including feeding the web in succession to a sensing station, a tear initiation station and a sheet separation station, the sensing station serving to sense the presence of successive overlapping end portions and thereafter actuating the tear initiation station to rupture the film at one edge thereof in the vicinity of a sensed overlapping portion and thereafter actuate the sheet separation station to propagate said rupture and thereby separate the terminal sheet from the web.
