Abstract: A neutral paint colorant has a composition comprising approximately 7.0% Color Index Pigment Yellow 42, 2.4% Color Index Pigment Red 101, and 4.0% Color Index Pigment Black 7. A pre-blended mixture of the neutral colorant and a paint base can be blended with a first paint to form a second paint having substantially the same hue and value (lightness) as the first paint, but a lower chroma (brightness).
Abstract: Embodiments of restraining grommets for use with protective cowling of marine outboard drives through which various flexible elements such as control cables and hoses extend. The restraining grommet is formed with at least two openings made up of multi-part sections and at least one of which is slitted so as to permit ease of insertion and removal of the flexible element without kinking of them.
Abstract: A completely knock down plastic pallet comprising a set of runners, a set of top deck elements, and a set of bottom deck elements. The runners comprising two end runners which define opposed side faces of the pallet and one or more intermediate runners located at spaced intervals between the end runners. The top deck elements being received in the top face of the intermediate runners. The ends of the top deck elements are engaged in cavities formed in the end runners. The bottom deck elements are received on the bottom face of the intermediate runners and the ends of the bottom deck elements being engaged in a set of further cavities formed in the end runners.
Abstract: An induction system for a marine propulsion engine wherein the induction system has a flow-controlling valve. A lubricant supply system is provided for delivering lubricant to the induction system upstream of the valve and toward the sliding support surfaces of the valve so as to reduce the likelihood of corrosion, particularly if the fuel supply washes the flow-controlling valve of lubricant during engine running.
Abstract: Two embodiments of motor vehicles powered by two cycle crankcase compression internal combustion engines having air fuel injectors. The air fuel injectors are mounted in the cylinder head but are disposed in such a position so that the fuel injector portion of the fuel air injector extends toward the high side of the hood to permit accessibility without sacrificing the use of a low hood line.
Abstract: A catheter anchoring system is provided to securely anchor to a patient's skin a catheter and fluid supply tube interconnection. The anchoring system comprises a retainer configured to receive an catheter adaptor in a variety of positions. The adaptor interconnects the catheter and the fluid supply tube. The anchoring system additionally includes an flexible, adhesive base pad which supports a tube clip, as well as the retainer. The retainer desirably slide relative to the base pad to precisely position the retainer relative to the catheter. The retainer advantageously includes an interlocking element which secures the retainer in the manually selected position relative to the catheter.
