Abstract: A storage container for associated or related articles such as nuts and bolts wherein there is a myriad of different sizes and shapes for each of the different types of related articles. It comprises a main body having a continuous side wall and open opposite ends, each end having a separate and independent cover. A first partition wall is provided within the body and has a plurality of slots for receiving bolts of a given diameter and thread configuration but of different lengths. A second partition wall is also provided in the main body, and has a plurality of trays for holding the nuts, such trays being in number equal to the number of slots in the first partition wall and arranged parallel and adjacent thereto so that mating nuts and bolts are arranged in juxtaposition. Thus the proper bolt and corresponding nut can be extracted from the container through said opposite ends of said main body but from corresponding locations therein.

Abstract: An adaptor for manually operable lawn sprinkler control valves for converting such valves to automatic shut-off following a predetermined time interval. It comprises a rotatable shaft whose end portion is bifurcated to effectively grip the manual valve operator. A torsion spring and a rachet wheel or gear are fixed to the shaft, and a timer is provided having an arm for engagement with the rachet wheel. The shaft is manually turned to open the sprinkler valve, such motion storing energy in the spring but the timer arm prevents such energy from closing the valve. After a predetermined interval of time, the arm is moved out of engagement with the wheel and the torsion spring is permitted to return the sprinkler valve to closed condition.

Abstract: A permissive make double throw electromagnetic switch having maximum efficiency in utilizing electrical energy supplied thereto, though being extremely small and compact for use on printed circuit boards. The means for moving the contact actuator comprises a pivotal armature which carries a permanent magnet and a pole piece whereby the permanent magnet causes the pole piece to be drawn into engagement with the core of an electromagnetic winding to thereby move the armature to a retracted position. Energization of the winding causes the armature to be drawn into attracted position in engagement with the core, the flux path through the armature being directly through the core and other flux-conducting means.

Abstract: A roof structure for an automobile wherein an opening is provided in the sheet metal roof and a reinforcing-mounting member formed of plastic is provided about said opening adjacent said roof and firmly secured to the support means for the roof. Such reinforcing-mounting member is formed with a U-shaped continuous channel adjacent the marginal edge of the opening in the roof to receive the offset marginal edge of a lid which is secured over the opening by suitable clamping means. Sealing means is provided within the continuous channel adjacent the offset marginal edge of the lid, and a wind deflector is provided for insertion in such channel to be firmly retained there when the lid is removed.

Abstract: A disc harrow having a pair of spaced support wheels each having its own operating mechanism including a hydraulic actuator for raising and lowering the respective wheel, but wherein the mechanisms are mechanically linked together to ensure substantially simultaneous raising and lowering of the wheels. The interconnecting link includes a spring biased lost motion device whereby one of the hydraulic actuators can be adjusted to permit the wheels to assume different positions of elevation, while, nonetheless, preserving the substantially simultaneous operation feature.

Abstract: A sliding-door and sliding-screen sill having several elongated rail members for individually supporting a sliding-door and a sliding-screen. Each such rail member is extruded of aluminum and is formed with at least one elongated break-notch whereby an installer can remove substantially any desired width of the base of either or both rail members to enable them to be placed in juxtaposition and yet cause the rails to be spaced the desired distance as defined by thee relationship between the exisiting sliding-door and sliding-screen. An L-shaped foundation member and a spacer are employed, the rail members being secured to one side of the foundation member.
