  • Patent number: 4861079
    Abstract: A multi-purpose lock bolt has a body which includes a bolt hole, a lock shackle hole and one or more mounting holes. Each of these are formed in the body and pass through the body. The lock shackle hole intersects with and traverses across the bolt hole as do the mounting holes. An elongated bolt is sized and shaped so as to fit into and slide in the bolt hole. The elongated bolt includes an alignment hole which is located in the elongated bolt in a direction transverse to the elongated axis of the elongated bolt. The bolt slides in the bolt hole in the body between an unlocked position and a locked position wherein in the locked position the alignment hole in the elongated bolt is aligned with the lock shackle hole in the body allowing a shackle of a lock to be passed through both the lock shackle hole of the body and the alignment hole in the elongated bolt to fix the elongated bolt with respect to the body in a locked position.

  • Patent number: 4854466
    Abstract: A packaging cup of the type typically utilized to contain a small volume of a condiment and formed of a resilient material which has a reservoir and a lip which surrounds the reservoir with a lid sealed to the lip is improved by including support fingers formed in the lip. The support fingers are formed by including slits in the lip which separate segments of the lip into the support fingers. Each of these segments, however, is maintained to the lip by a connectable portion. The support fingers are bendable about the connecting portion allowing positioning of the support fingers out the plane of the lip. When positioned out of the plane of the lip the support fingers can be engaged over a surface as, for instance, the vertical wall of another container to hold the packaging cup on the vertical wall of the container.

  • Patent number: 4852920
    Abstract: A self protecting hasp for use with a padlock includes a standard eye attached to an eye plate. Further it includes a latch which has a flap which is hinged to an appropriate hinge plate. The flap includes a slot which allows for positioning of the flap onto the eye. The self protecting hasps of the invention include an inhibiting member which fits over at least that portion of the flap wherein the slot is located. The inhibiting member prevents access to the slot and the eye projecting thereto and any padlock locked through the eye. Further a latch eye can connect to the cover member and project towards the slot whereby it will lay adjacent to the eye. This allows the latch eye to also be engaged by a shank of a padlock which is passed through the eye. This fixedly secures the cover member over the flap to prevent prying and other forceful unauthorized access to the area of the hasp beneath the cover member.

  • Patent number: 4849216
    Abstract: A fly attractant composition includes a quantity of poultry protein wherein the poultry protein includes a quantity of at lesat one protein digestive microorganism capable of digesting the protein. This microorganism can either be native to the protein or it can be added as an inoculum. Further the composition contains a quantity of a carbohydrate which is capable of being fermented to yield carbon dioxide as a fermentation product. Additionally the composition contains a quantity of at least one carbohydrate fermentation microorganism which is capable of fermenting the carbohydrate to release carbon dioxide. When water is added to the fly attractant composition to form a fly lure, the carbon dioxide from the fermenting carbohydrate drives off odors from the ingredients which attracts flies to the lure.

  • Patent number: 4845926
    Abstract: A form, fill and seal pouch packaging machine has independent side and cross seals. A first prime mover driving a first output linkage moves the side seals. A second prime mover driving a second output linkage moves the cross seals. The first and second prime movers are independent of each other and as such the side seals can be operated independently of the cross seal. Because the cross seal is independent of the side seals, pouches of any desired length can be formed, filled and sealed on the pouch packaging machine.

  • Patent number: 4798065
    Abstract: A lock mechanism having a reversible right and left hand bolt includes a lock body. The body has a bolt passageway in which the bolt is mounted so as to slide back and forth in the body. A set screw fits into a groove on the bolt to retain the bolt in the body while allowing it to slide in the bolt passageway. A detent member fits into a notch on the bolt to lock the bolt to the body. A latch member fits into a notch on the detent member to hold the detent member in engagement with the bolt. A cylinder lock is attached to the detent member to rotate the detent member. When the detent member is rotated, the notch on the detent member rotates away from the latch member and allows the detent member to move away from the bolt to unlock the bolt. The bolt can be reversed in the bolt passageway by loosening the set screw, extracting the bolt from the bolt passageway, reversing the bolt, inserting the bolt back into the body and tightening the set screw.

  • Patent number: 4768330
    Abstract: For use on a form, fill and seal bagging machine a left side bag gripping member and a right side bag gripping member are located in association with a movable component of the bagging machine as, for instance, the head seal. The bag grippers contact and grip the left and right respective sides of a bag and spread these sides apart from one another just prior to formation of a cross seal on the bag by the head seal. This insures that the heat sealable film utilized on the machines is not puckered or pinched by the head seal therefore leading to a defective seal between the front and rear films forming the bag.

  • Patent number: 4752272
    Abstract: A drive mechanism for a movable toy has a housing and a motor. A control gear which is movable both rotationally and axially is located on the housing and is connected to the motor through a gear train. Rotation of the control gear is transferred to a control element to rotate it. The control element in turn moves the control gear axially to engage or disengage it with an output member. The output member comprises a drive wheel which is mounted in a yoke which is pivotally mounted on the housing. Rotation of the drive wheel moves the toy along a supporting surface. Additionally, the control element is connected to a further output member and intermittently moves the further output member. Movement of the output member and the further output member are coordinated through the control element whereby when the control element engages the control gear, the drive wheel is moved and when the control element disengages from the control gear, the further output member is moved.

  • Patent number: 4738864
    Abstract: Pet food can be prepared from animal flesh by a process which includes separation of the flesh portions of the animal from it's bones during a deboning step. This yields a fibrous paste to which is added a quantity of hydrolyzed milk protein. The hydrolyzed milk protein is thoroughly mixed with the fibrous paste. A quantity of salt is then added to the mixture of the hydrolyzed protein and the fibrous paste, and a second mixing is utilized to thoroughly mix the salt into the mixture of the hydrolyzed milk protein and the fibrous paste. The final mixture is then placed into an appropriate mold of a desirable shape. The molded mixture is then quickly heated to 140.degree. F. to heat set the mixture into the mold, and to heat kill any enzymes or micro organisms present in the mixture.
