  • Patent number: 4961593
    Abstract: A lightweight, collapsible golf trolley is disclosed comprising an extruded elongate chassis member 1 of lightweight metal or alloy, e.g. aluminum. The chassis member 1 is of an inverted channel section with two downwardly and outwardly flared side wall sections 2, 3 against which are pivoted the wheel struts 4, 5 which are likewise lightweight alloy extrusions. Preferably the struts are in two halves forming a parallel linkage with the chassis and the wheel brackets 13. Hinged to the forward end of the chassis is a handle 27 which can be folded to a position alongside the chassis thus collapsing the wheel struts via the tie 37.

  • Patent number: 4957551
    Abstract: The method for treating the dust entails the following steps:(a) supplying a combination of dust, a reducing agent and flux to a gastight electrothermic smelting furnace,(b) smelting, reducing and volatilizing certain metals in the smelting furnace,(c) tapping of an inert slag phase and a liquid metal phase from the smelting furnace,(d) continuous removal from the smelting furnace of a gas phase containing chiefly CO-gas, metal fumes, sulphur, chlorides and fluorides together with entrained unreacted dust,(e) further treatment of the gas phase.The process produces an inert slag phase which can be safely deposited in a landfill. The process also allows for recovery of valuable metal components from the dust.

  • Patent number: 4948143
    Abstract: A golf ball having dimples covering its surface and having four great circular paths on the surface of the golf ball where none of the paths intersect a dimple is disclosed. The four great circular paths are obtained by laying out an octahedron on the surface of the golf ball and connecting the midpoint of each edge of the octahedron to form eight equilateral triangles and four squares. The dimples are arranged by filling each triangle and square with dimples. Golf balls having four great circular paths and 456, 408 and 432 dimples are disclosed.

  • Patent number: 4947662
    Abstract: The electronic key has a drive head and a turning blade for inserting in a rotor of a lock. The key has an intermediate zone, on the edges of which there are retractile contacts charged by springs in corresponding housings. These retractile contacts are joined to conducting plates that come through the head from the electronic circuit integrated in the drive head itself. On the insertion and turn of the key in the lock these retractile contacts enter into connection with fixed contacts of the corresponding electronic circuit of the lock that are included in the interior wall of an annular extension of the stator in front of the rotor of the lock.
