Abstract: A device for production rate finishing and deburring of the ends of lengths of pipe with minimum loss of time, utilizing the finishing tool as a sensor to control the feed rate, whereby the end finishing and deburring is accomplished in a single pass and the tools are driven to the workpiece at a high feed rate.

Abstract: A portable rack for storing and transporting water skis, capable of being mounted over the engine of a water ski boat, or carried by hand with the water skis in place.

Abstract: An operably collapsible device for suspending quantities of charcoal briquets in an inverted conical shape to facilitate rapid, even ignition.

Abstract: A well, such as an oil well, may be plugged, on command, from the well head, by activating a plurality of preplaced motor-driven, foam generating capsules causing a foam to be generated and forced into the well hole where it hardens.

Abstract: A foot operated control for operating an accelerator and braking means of a motor driven vehicle through actuation of a single suspended pedal. A brake lever associated with the vehicle braking means is mounted at one end to a shaft pivotally supported in a mounting bracket and carrying a pivot pin adjacent the other end, the brake lever providing vehicle braking action when pivoted in a first direction; an accelerator lever associated with the vehicle carburetor and mounted on the brake lever pivot pin so as to be pivotal in an opposite direction to cause acceleration of the vehicle; and a provision for preventing the two levers from concurrently actuating the associated braking means and carburetor to avoid simultaneous functioning of the system to accelerate the motor while applying the brakes to decelerate or stop the automobile. There is also disclosed a foot pad assembly for the foot operated control which precludes vehicle acceleration when the foot control is unattended.

Abstract: A can for spraying atomized liquids comprising a pair of coaxial cylinders, the outer cylinder forming the sealed can body. The liquid to be atomized and sprayed is contained within the central cylinder above a piston. The central and outer cylinders are in fluid communication through openings in the central cylinder near the bottom of the can. The piston, which is double-ended, is movable located within the central cylinder. A gas or other fluid under pressure is located in the volume between the central and outer cylinders, thus exerting a force on the bottom of the piston to drive the fluid to be sprayed out of the central cylinder when the atomizing valve is manually actuated.
