Abstract: A fuel additive delivery system used with the fuel system of an engine. When fuel is added to a holding tank fluid pressure is reduced at a Venturi guide. The Venturi guide is connected to an additive delivery system. When the static fluid pressure in the Venturi guide falls below a level a sucking action is initiated. This action opens a normally closed valve in a meter system connected to an additive tank. When the valve opens additive flows from the additive tank into and past the Venturi guide into a fuel holding tank for the engine.

Abstract: A liquid carrying container having a first outer semicircular concave wall and a second inner concave wall facing in the same direction. Both walls are joined together at matting side edges. The outer semicircular wall is considerably longer in length than the length of the inner second wall. The overall length of the upper rim of the first wall is approximately fifty percent greater is length than the length of the upper rim of the second wall. A recess in the inner wall forms a hand hold portion. Below this hand hold portion is a handle pivotally mounted to to the inner wall. The lower handle is formed by a U-shaped rod with two end pivot joints and a center covering cylindrical portion having a rod receiving hole along its length. This bucket construction provides a recess in the bucket's inner wall that allows a user's leg to be inserted to prevent contact with bucket's wall and lessen the possibility that is liquid contents may be tipped over.

Abstract: A pole assembly that has an inner pole fitted within an outer pole. The outer pole has a larger cross section dimension that the inner pole with a space between the two poles. Sets of two lateral supporting members extend from and joined to inner pole to the outer pole. Each set of lateral supports has two cross members both of which engage the inner pole and the outer pole. The space between the poles can be filled with a deposited fill material, like water or sand, that is impact absorbing to reduce injury and damage to a driver, a colliding vehicle and the post assembly. Each of the sets of lateral supporting members has two cross members that are perpendicular to each other and joined to each of the poles. Depending on the particular use for the pole, like a utility pole, wires or cables may extend up the height of the poles in the space between them by entering through holes in the lateral supports.

The bracket has three arms, one of which is connected to the chair, the second has the arm rest attached thereto, and the third arm connects the first and second arm. Spring biased ball detents are used to lock the bracket in various positions to adjust the bracket to the convenience of different users.

Abstract: A premixing fuel-air chamber for use with the manifold of a combustion chamber of an engine. The chamber has a hollow interior housing that has an air intake inlet on one side and a fuel-air outlet on the opposite side of the housing. Within the confines of the housing is a laminar air flow wing fixed to the housing and used to divide the interior of the housing into two air passageways. Operatively associated with the air flow wing are two movable side mounted air throttle valves, also fixed to the interior of the housing. These valves move in unison to open or block the two air passageways formed by the laminar air flow wing. Nearer the fuel-air outlet of the housing, below the wing, are two pressurized side fuel injectors mounted to inject a spray of fuel within the interior of the housing adjacent the fuel-air outlet. The actual mixing of the injected fuel and intake air is done prior to the combustion chamber, which chamber may be part of an existing engine.

Abstract: A novelty windmill which includes a propeller, a drive shaft which is driven by the propeller, a motion transmitter for transmitting motion to a display item, and a display item which is moved by the motion transmitter. The novelty item is placed on a vehicle, so that the windmill and display item move as the vehicle is driven. The novelty windmill preferably includes a brake mechanism which controls the speed of the windmill. The brake mechanism may be in the form of a friction member which causes frictional force on the drive shaft when an air brake lever is rotated or otherwise moved due to the force of moving air on a brake paddle member. The display item can be a movable mascot or insignia for a sports team. The windmill may be placed on a moving vehicle.

Abstract: A combined clip retaining bracket and bag retaining clip. Several channels are formed in the bracket each having a lower opened slot extending the length of the bracket. A clip with two legs pivotally connected together at one of their ends is inserted pivot end first into each of the channels. Along the two facing side surfaces of the clip are a sealing strip and a mating groove used to seal the opened top edge of any bag inserted between them. Any food products, like potato chips, whose bags need resealing may be hung from the clips retained by the bracket's channels. To insure the clips are pressed together properly, the width of the channel is just slightly greater than the total width of the inserted clip. The two legs of the clips are substantially the same length and the channel may have a closed and opened front end.
