Abstract: An apparatus to make cookies which consists of a drum shaped device for shaping the cookies. The drum shaped device termed a die roll receives dough from a feed roll which in turn removes dough from a feed hopper. The die roll then deposits the shaped dough on the surface of a transfer conveyor at a first location. The transfer conveyor moves the dough bits to a second location adjacent to an oven conveyor. As the dough bits leave the transfer conveyor at the second location they are made to topple onto their side when they are received by the oven conveyor. While they lay on their side the formerly flat base becomes slightly rounded. After they are baked in the oven all the baked surfaces are now rounded.

Abstract: A swivel joint assembly comprises a first arm member having a first end joint on one end. The end joint has an arcuate groove thereon. A second arm member has a second end joint on one end. The second joint has stop structure thereon for limiting rotational movement of said swivel joint to approximately 360.degree.. A swivel structure provides rotational movement between the first and second end joints. The swivel structure includes a fastener for securing the first and second end joints to each other. The stop element protrudes into the arcuate groove and a stop shoulder on the arcuate groove co-acts with the stop element to limit rotational movement of the swivel joint.

Abstract: An improved leather grip is disclosed wherein leather strapping for a handle is treated with a tackifier resin, the surface roughened, and a solvent applied to the leather surface.

Each dental operatory unit is generally L-shaped and forms a wall-like partition structure between a first operatory and a second operatory. The L-shaped structure incorporates lead-lined protective panels. An x-ray unit and light unit are mounted so as to be accessible to each operatory. Drawers are also cooperatively mounted to ease of access by the dentist or assistant in each operatory.
