Abstract: A multiple flow rate fluid control valve assembly in which the mode of fluid flow is interfaced with the rate of fluid flow has a mode control valve having a switch for selectively setting the valve to either of a continuous fluid flow mode or a pulse fluid flow mode. A fluid flow rate control valve is connected to the mode control valve for selectively controlling the rate of fluid flow from a source of fluid through the rate control valve to the mode control valve, to thereby provide fluid from the source of fluid to the mode control valve at a rate which is appropriate for the mode of fluid delivery and the particular fluid use.

Abstract: An air filtration system for use in capturing fugitive dust in industrial sweeping operations includes a hopper having internal structure for causing change in the direction of flow of suction air which enters the hopper along with debris collected during an industrial sweeping operation. A plurality of filters is disposed within the hopper for filtering the suction air, each one of the plurality of filters having filter media therein which can be repeatedly purged for cleaning and continuous reuse thereof. Structure is included for providing repeated purging blasts of air to the plurality of filters, and structure is associated with each one of the plurality of filters for causing the purging blasts of air to clean substantially the entire filter media of each one of the filters.

Abstract: A swimming pool treatment device for simultaneous introduction of at least two separately stored chemicals into the water of a swimming pool has an enclosed, selectively openable first hollow body portion for containing and dispensing a first chemical into the swimming pool water. At least a second enclosed, selectively openable hollow body portion is included for containing and dispensing at least a second chemical into the swimming pool water. The first hollow body portion and the at least a second hollow body portion are selectively detachably interengaged with one another. The first hollow body portion and the at least a second hollow body portion are selectively detachably interengaged with one another, to thereby provide a way to simultaneously introduce at least two separately stored chemicals into the water of the swimming pool.

Abstract: A reversible rotary sanding power tool of the high speed, hand-held type includes a tool body, a tool head rotatably mounted on the tool body and adapted for replaceably retaining an abrasive disk, and a reversible, high-speed motor within the tool body and to which the tool head is rotatably coupled so as not to become accidentally disengaged upon operation of the power tool in either of the normal or reverse modes of operation.

Abstract: A conveyor for transferring loose bulk material, such as fertilizer and the like, in a manner which minimizes the creation of airborne dust includes structure for movably supporting the material to be transferred, structure for automatically cleaning the movable support during movement of material thereon and for causing the structure for movably supporting the material to be transferred to move.

Abstract: An air bag inflation gas generator to feed combustion gas for inflation of air bags such as air gas for absorbing collision shocks, life jackets, rafts and escape chutes, that aim to easily and surely control the flow rate of combustion gas into the air bag at the initial inflation of the air bag and to effectively utilize the entire purifying filter.

Abstract: An agricultural hopper has conditioning structure therein including a mechanical agitator movably mounted within the hopper, and adapted for permitting flow-through of material which is of sufficiently small size to completely bypass the mechanical agitator and thereby greatly facilitate the rate of material flow-through.

Abstract: A composition of matter especially for the formation and development of wear surfaces of decorative or aesthetic character is provided which comprehends a matrix and discrete reforcing elements embedded in the matrix. The matrix is resin-based with the resin being hydrogenated bis-phenol A which is mixed with a suitable low profile additive, a catalystic agent, a flame retardant, an extender, and a inhibitor while the reinforcer is constituted of glass fiber particles.

Abstract: A golf club shaft comprising a mandrel with a tapered surface as its outer circumference which is wound with three layers of prepreg sheets of high-strength fiber impregnate with synthetic resin. The middle layer is also wound with a separate string member. The inner layer fibers and the separate string member are arranged in a criss-cross pattern running generally in the longitudinal axial direction of the shaft. However, the fibers which are part of the middle and outer layers run unidirectionally only in the longitudinal axial direction of the shaft. No fibers run in a circumferential direction. In addition, the fiber and matrix of the outer layer become transparent after curing. Thus, even when the shaft is shrunk toward the center, no zigzag or wrinkles are generated in the string member found between the middle and outer layers nor in the outer layer fibers themselves.

Abstract: This invention relates to an air bag inflation gas generator comprising an inner cylindrical member with gas flow openings formed in the outer periphery being inserted into a longitudinal bottom-closed outer cylindrical member with gas outlets formed in the outer periphery with a filter disposed therebetween and gas generating agents being accommodated in the inner cylindrical member, wherein mating sections are disposed at the open end of the inner cylindrical member so as to engage with other mating sections formed at the bottom of the outer cylindrical member, so that the position of the gas flow openings formed in the inner cylindrical member and the position of the gas outlets formed in the outer cylindrical member can be easily and surely set in a predetermined positional relation.

Abstract: A waving lotion for use in an exothermic permanent wave comprising an activator in an amount sufficient to provide an exothermic reaction, with an effective perming amount of a reducing agent, wherein the reducing agent is a combination of a more active reducing agent and a less active reducing agent in a ratio necessary to effect a reduction in hair damage, wherein the less active reducing agent is an ester of thioglycolic acid.

Abstract: A fishing line length measuring device to determine the let out or wound up amount of the fishing line based on the number of spool revolutions. The device has a reel, a spool rotatably supported by the reel where the fishing line is wound up, a sensor to detect the revolutions of the spool, an up/down counter to count up or down the pulse signals output from the sensor, a storage means which receives and holds the count values obtained at the up/down counter when the counter counts actual number of spool revolutions during winding or unwinding the fishing line for specified lengths from a certain reference point set on the fishing line, an operation means to determine the line length using the line length formula obtained corresponding to the numbers of spool revolutions for the specified lengths and these actual numbers of revolutions, and an indication unit to indicate the line length determined by the operation means.

Abstract: A chain merchandising apparatus includes a frame, a cabinet secured to the frame, and a chain support mounted to the frame and located within the cabinet for supporting a plurality of chain containers. A chain cutter is moveably fixed to the apparatus so as to be facilely and safely selectively adjustable vertically and horizontally in relation thereto for permitting a user to position the chain cutter substantially adjacent to a preselected chain container supported on the chain support.

Abstract: This invention relates to an air bag inflation gas generator to feed combustion gas for inflation of air bags such as air bags for absorbing collision shocks, life jackets, rafts, and escape chutes. When the generator is exposed to a high temperature environment such as fire and a temperature of a second end plate rises, heat of the second end plate is transmitted to an ignition agent via a heat sensing means, the ignition agent is ignited at a temperature thoroughly lower than the firing temperature of gas generating agents, and the gas generating agents burn.
