Abstract: A grout hopper and dispenser which may be raised on a fork lift so that grout may be placed in a concrete block wall. The grout hopper and dispenser includes an auger in the bottom thereof which forces the grout out through a tube which is connected to a flexible tube which is used by the workman in directing the grout to the appropriate location. The auger may be remotely controlled by the operator of the forklift truck which has lifted the grout hopper and dispenser into position.

Abstract: A unitary tray and blade guide frame including longitudinal members extending from rigid, integral attachment with a back tray. An end frame member transversely, rigidly mounts to the longitudinal frame members and the back tray. A blade guide mounts to the back tray, with its upper surface flush with the upper surface of the back tray. A thickness tray slidably mounts in slots formed in the longitudinal frame members. An adjustment mechanism adjusts the position of the thickness tray. A food product workpiece extends downwardly from a reciprocatably displaceable workpiece retaining carriage, and rests on the upper surface of the thickness tray. The carriage advances the workpiece into a blade, which removes a slice from the workpiece. The lower surface of the remaining workpiece slides against the upper surface of the blade guide and the back tray.

Abstract: A round shell, flat base container with a closure end on either end, having along one side, an access lid (23) in which one accesses the interior of the container. Accessing the interior of the container reveals a removable internal axle assembly (FIG. 6) which is the rotating mechanism for dispensing and retrieving the roll sheeting. The internal axle assembly (FIG. 6) sets between the closure ends and is supported between a hand wheel and bearing assembly (FIG. 7) at one end and a slotted spindle guide (60) and friction bearing (62) at the other end. This complete assembly supports the roll of sheeting within the container and rotates it, to dispense or retrieve the sheeting. Located along the opposite side of the container is a dispensing slot lid (29), which gives access to an installed roll of sheeting when opened. This lid when closed forms a dispensing slot (26) and contains a cutting guide (28). This slot is where the roll sheeting is dispensed from or retrieved too.

Abstract: A screening plant including a housing to which first and second screen boxes are reciprocatably mounted. The screen boxes are coplanar and the inner peripheral edge of the first box is adjacent the inner peripheral edge of the second box. Separate prime movers, such as hydraulic motors, are drivingly linked to the independently mounted screen boxes. The screen boxes are separated by a gap over which a beveled cap is mounted.

Abstract: A bow mount includes a support member, a frame member, and two clamping arms. The clamping arms are spaced from each other and extend laterally from the front side of the frame member. A bow is secured in the clamping arms. The frame member is then rotated and tilted with respect to said frame member to determine the level conditions of a bow. An arrow is then attached to the bow string and an arrow stabilizer. The arrow rest is then placed and the sight pins are properly aligned.

Abstract: A torso, muscle and spine exercise apparatus. A base having upwardly extending tubes into which a handgrippable handle is attached, includes a tiltable, rotatable platform upon which a user stands. The user stands upon the platform and fastens one or more harnesses about his waist or torso. Conventional weight stacks are attached to the harness or harnesses at two or four front points and two or four rear points by a cable and pulley system. Rotation of the user's waist or trunk lifts the weights, causing resistance to rotation. The rotatable platform upon which the user stands can be tilted in any direction to rotate freely about the tilted axis. Exercise of certain portions of the spine may be accomplished by a torso stabilizer belt fastened to the handgrippable handle and extending about the user's chest or waist.

Abstract: An improved slice stacking device for a food slicing machine. The machine has a reciprocating carriage to which an elongated food product workpiece is mounted. The workpiece reciprocates through a cutting blade, forming a slice in each cycle. A stacking bed has a textured surface for unidirectional sliding resistance and is mounted to the carriage beneath the blade. Multiple curved fingers are rigidly mounted below an outfeed table and extend downwardly to contact, or be closely spaced from, the upper surface of the stacking bed during a portion of the reciprocation cycle. A slice removed from the workpiece lands on the stacking bed and passes beneath the fingers. During the rearward motion of the stacking bed, the slice is wiped from the stacking bed by the wiper fingers. Another embodiment includes a rake having downwardly extending tines positioned above the stacking bed. The tines extend downwardly into grooves between ridges on the stacking bed.

Abstract: This invention relates to articles for decoration and amusement. Specifically the present invention relates to a Christmas tree ornament consisting of two equal halves in the form of prefabricated paper, cardboard or other sheet materials which are joined essentially composing a flat body. The body exhibits exterior shape in many geometric and whimsical forms. The ornament is provided with means for hanging such as cord or the like. The invention offers a multipurpose function, serving as seasonal decoration as well as a disposable storage unit for smaller articles such as a strip of paper containing words of wisdom, well wishes, a catch phrase or a fortune if you will. Other articles such as festive confetti and a penny for good luck are also contained inside ornament to serve as gifts and amusement for the new year. Ornament is placed on tree at Christmas as decoration and taken from tree on New Year's Eve or New Year's Day and given as gift.
