Abstract: A hollow carrier in the shape of any object, such as a jack-o'-lantern, a skull or the like, is provided with a handle, a pair of eye openings in a face, and separate lights behind each of the eye openings, which lights, when activated by a switch connected between the separate lights and a power source, shine separate beams of light from each of the eye openings.

Abstract: An improved system for operating a chain link fence weaving machine. The system includes an electronic motor coupled to a main spindle shaft of the weaving machine. A trough is disposed adjacent to a weaving blade attached to the main spindle and coupled to the weaving machine. The trough receives two intercoiled needles (picket) from the weaving blade for weaving the fence. The trough has first and second opposing portions positioned to receive the picket therebetween. A retaining slot extends between the first and second portions. The radius of the first portion of the trough is less than the radius of the second portion thereof to prevent the two intercoiled needles being woven in the trough from extending into the slot. An actuation mechanism opens and closes the retaining slot to frictionally engage or release a portion of the fence held in the slot. A control system is coupled to the motor for controlling the fabrication rate of fence being woven.

Abstract: A gas laser consisting of a single elongated piece of dielectric material (1), with two hermetically sealed parallel elongated chambers (2) and (3), and an opening (4) connecting the two chambers. One of the elongated chambers (2) is of a cross section suitable for confining a laser gas discharge. The other elongated chamber (3) is a reservoir for laser gas, which also functions to dampen the unwanted acoustic waves generated by the laser gas discharge and as a means of extending the operating lifetime of the laser gas. The opening connecting the two elongated chambers serves to dampen the acoustic waves generated by the laser gas discharge traveling the length of the elongated laser chamber and to stop unwanted low angle wall reflections of laser light energy traveling at a slight angle to the length of the laser chamber.

Abstract: The efficiency of a vertical array speaker device is raised to obtain an adequate level of sound and to confine the horizontal radiation of the listening area of a surround sound system. A pair of baffle boards are mounted to a vertical array (4) with small diameter speakers (3), in symmetrical opposition, the boards are attached together at their rear edges (1a, 1b,) while the front edges are held open a predetermined width.

Abstract: A complete, facile to use and operate telephone apparatus (10) for use with a communications system including a toll charge telephone system (104). The apparatus is a simplified telephone receiver with no keypad to allow only incoming calls to be received 5 thereon. The system includes a communications system connected to a toll charge telephonic system whereby incoming calls charged only to a caller, at a reduced rate, may be processed. The device is adapted to only receive incoming telephone calls and to transmit radiotelephone signals upon receipt of such a call.

Abstract: A tennis racket is provided with a one-way free hinge adjacent the head of the tennis racket between the handle and the racket head to provide a hinged movement of the head of the racket with relation to the handle when the racket is swung and sufficient centrifugal force is provided to the head to swing it away from the racket with no bias from the hinge means. Additionally, the hinge provides no bias to force or bring the head back to the integral or aligned position with the handle, so that only when an improper swing of the racket occurs to apply centrifugal force to the head, will the head swing relative to the handle thereof. The racket enables a tennis player to be taught or to practice swinging a tennis racket with the proper "lag" and follow through so that the tennis player feels the correct rhythm and timing when stroking through a swing.

Abstract: A night light and pacifier holding system for holding a plurality of decorative pacifiers therein in aligned positions. A hollow base in the form of elliptical dish shaped upper and lower portions are secured together with a light source having a diffuser therein. A substantially flat base of the system is capable of supporting the system on a flat surface. The upper surface of the upper portion of the system includes a plurality of openings formed therein with guiding and securing pins formed adjacent each of the openings in order that pacifiers having decorative shaped heads may be inserted in the openings and held in aligned positions by holes formed in each of the pacifiers captured in the pins. The pacifiers are formed from a luminescent material which may be recharged from the light source within the hollow base when held in the openings.

Abstract: An automated printing machine has a plurality of printing pallets having elevated printing surfaces connected to an endless chain drive by an elongated bodies. The printing machine includes a positive indexing system for smoothly indexing items to be printed while supported on the elevated printing surfaces, first through a printing station having at least one printing head movable in a plurality of directions, and then to an integrated dryer station, after the printing station, having at least one pivotable dryer therein for selectively drying the printed items held on the elevated printing surfaces, as they pass through the drying station.

Abstract: An improved method of inserting a coin return into an opening in a telephone paystation enclosure including the steps of inserting the housing of the coin return into an opening until a pivot area of the housing is aligned with and placed over a lower part of the opening; then pivoting the housing around the pivot area into the interior of the enclosure until a portion of an outer lip of the housing contacts a portion of the exterior surface of the enclosure and an upper slotted opening formed in the housing is aligned with a top surface of the opening; then pushing the housing upwardly until the top surface of the opening in the enclosure bottoms out in the upper slotted opening; then rocking the housing inwardly, past the pivot area, until a further portion of the interior surface of the outer lip of the housing contacts the exterior surface of the enclosure and a lower, slotted opening formed in the housing is aligned with a bottom surface of the opening; then allowing the housing to drop until the lower s

Abstract: A tunable golf club head and a method of adjusting the tuning thereof to improve a golf club head performance for all golfer skill levels, and/or to selectively increase or decrease the maximum distance the club can be used to drive, putt or otherwise propel a golf ball. The tunable head includes an external frame for movably holding and securing a strike plate and separate tuning elements within a golf club head. The separate tuning elements may be comprised of a plurality of tension strings captured in an internal frame, or a plurality of belleville washers, which adjustably coact with the hitting face. The separate tuning elements are adjustable so as to selectively control movement of the strike plate when striking a golf ball, so as to accurately control the velocity and/or direction of a golf ball struck by the strike plate.
