Abstract: A rotating fixture releasably carries work pieces in a circular path for parading the work pieces, one-by-one, through machining engagement with a grinding wheel for grinding a desired feature or surface onto each work piece. The fixture is adapted such that the work pieces can be quickly snapped into position, and provision is made for automatically ejecting the finished parts from the fixture. A clamping apparatus clamps the work pieces in place in the fixture, one-by-one, just prior each piece reaching the tool, and then releases the work piece after the machining on each part is finished.

Abstract: A women's upper-body garment is provided with a front-opening outer garment and a front-opening inner bra having shoulder straps attached to the inside shoulders of the outer garment, and having breast supporting portions with elastic perimeter portions and formed to support the underside of the breasts.

Abstract: A tool is adapted to simultaneously grab a fastener clip, draw the tongue of the clip in a direction away from an opposing leg to establish a clearance condition for installation and removal of the clip from the edge of a piece of sheet metal, and support the clip to prevent bending of the legs of the clip. The tool includes a pair of opposing jaws connected for movement toward and away from one another with actuating means such as associated handles. One jaw is formed with a surface to establish a fulcrum with the connected end of the tongue, and an operative end adapted to grab the free end of the tongue. The other jaw includes a cam surface for supporting the opposite end of the leg to which the tongue is connected. The jaws cooperate to effect separation of the tongue and the opposing leg of the clip to establish the clearance condition as the handles are squeezed together.

Abstract: A self-contained, battery powered, hand-held pupilometer is constructed with a binocular-type housing, is adapted for monocular operation to test the response of a subject's pupil to a light stimulus, and includes internal microprocessor-based control and data processing and storage apparatus. Response of the subject's other pupil may be tested by flipping the instrument.

Abstract: A front blister is formed with a forwardly extending bubble and a slot extending downwardly in an edge portion above the bubble. A backing card formed with upper, center and lower portions, is attached to the back of the blister at the upper and lower portions to close the back of the bubble. The center portion of the card comprises a closure panel, pivotable between an open position providing access to contents in the bubble and a closed position, and a locking tab extending upwardly therefrom, the locking tab being positioned for folding into and out of the slot and sized for an interference fit with the slot to releasably maintain the panel in a closed position. To initially open the package, the center portion is separated from the upper portion of the card along perforation lines formed in the card, and is pivoted away from the blister about a fold line at the junction with the lower portion of the card.

Abstract: A display unit includes multiple vertical panels that are adapted to carry and display relatively flat articles such as roofing and flooring samples. The panels are pivotally mounted for swinging generally left and right between upper and lower retaining plates which are mounted for manual rotation about a vertical axis such that each panel passes a position at the front of the unit as the retaining plates rotate through one revolution. A ratchet-type mechanism permits relatively free rotation of the unit in one direction, such as to the right, but includes equally spaced detents to interrupt free rotation of the unit each time a panel reaches said front position. The panels are biased to swing toward, in the present instance, the right, such that the front of each panel is presented in a forwardly direction when that panel is positioned at the front of the unit.

Abstract: Adapter fittings formed with an opening therethrough are inserted into a sewer manhole with the outlet opening facing an obstruction, or build-up along the sewer walls. A forwardly thrusting nozzle adapted to spray jets of high-pressure, high-temperature water or steam is connected to a hose. Alternately, a nozzle adapted to spray jets of high-pressure, high-temperature water of steam forwardly therefrom is connected to a hose and a stiffened push wand. The nozzle and hose and/or push wand are then inserted through the adapter fittings to exit from the outlet opening into the leg of the sewer with the build-up or obstruction. A hot water/steam supply connected to the upstream end of the hose provides a supply of steam or hot, pressurized water to the nozzle.

Abstract: A fastener includes a threaded post and a nut formed with an internal threaded portion for threading onto the rod. A slot formed longitudinally in the post interrupts the threads and that is sized to slidably receive the threaded portion of the nut such that the nut slides freely along the length of the post. The nut is secured by sliding the nut onto the post until reaching a desired position, and then rotating the nut such that the threaded portion of the nut engages the threads formed on the post. The nut is secured into the desired position with an integrally formed locking tab that extends into the slot after the nut has been rotated onto the shank.

Abstract: A portable anchor for tethering to on the shelf of a rock quarry includes an elongated lower post adapted into slip charge holes drilled in the quarry shelf, a stop plate connected to the post and rotatably resting on the shelf, and hook receiving means for connection of one end of a tether line that is connected at the other end to a harness or belt worn by the worker. A method for anchoring to said quarry shelf includes providing an anchor adapted to slip into the charge receiving holes formed in the shelf, and having a stop plate for positioning the depth of the anchor in the charge hole.

Abstract: A scoring table for use at sporting includes a table top, a front section adapted to support the forward portion of the table top, and legs adapted to support the rear portion of the table top. The legs are formed with upper and lower leg members. Each lower leg member is hinged to the respective upper leg member for movement between (1) a first position aligned with and extending downwardly from the upper leg member for supporting the rear portion of the table top from the floor and (2) a second position extending upwardly from the hinge and generally adjacent the upper leg member to allow the upper leg members to support the rear portion of the table top from a generally horizontal surface which is at a height above the floor such as a bleacher seat.
