Abstract: A method for cutting and maintaining in separate segments a gummous comestible, comprising the steps of: (a) positioning a disk-like template above the comestible, the template having a plurality of radiating extending slots; (b) positioning a cutting tool above one of the slots; (c) folding a sheet of wax-like material over the cutting edge of said tool and about both sides thereof; (d) simultaneously holding each side of said wax-like sheet against the sides of the tool and pressing said closely held sheet and tool into the gummous comestible; (e) withdrawing the cutting tool while permitting the material, as a result of the friction and surface tension of said gummous comestible thereagainst, to remain in the gummous comestible; and (f) repeating each of the above steps for each of the radiating extending slots of the template through which a corresponding cut and placement of the wax-like sheet material is desired, whereby a separation into segments, in accordance with the relative position of each of the
Abstract: The present invention discloses a method for interconnecting a plurality of security surfaces into a main alarm line. The method includes the steps of: placing a strip of electrically conductive foil about the periphery of each protected security surface; disposing a single-throw double-pole switch between adjacent, partially overlapping security surfaces which are movable with respect to each other; mutually connecting the peripherally disposed conductive strips of adjacent security surfaces so as to form a single circuit loop from the conductive strips placed about the periphery of adjacent security surfaces, the connection across adjacent surfaces occurring through the single-throw double-pole switch; and connecting the output of each of the single circuit loops formed through the use of the double-pole switch to the main alarm line. Further, the single-throw double-pole switch exhibits a novel structure which facilitates its usage in the present security method.
Abstract: The present invention discloses a stringed musical instrument. The stringed musical instrument comprises a body having a string-slider nut assembly; a neck having a rectangular slot; a T-bar assembly having a plurality of holes fastened securely in the rectangular slot of the neck of the instrument; a finger board consisting of a plurality of rectangular pieces forming a plurality of lengthwise spaced recesses when the rectangular pieces are placed adjacent to each other, wherein the fingerboard is placed upon the T-bar assembly, and tubular barrel frets are secured firmly in the lengthwise space recesses formed in the fingerboard with barrel fret screws. The string-slider nut assembly includes a number of pulleys, through which a given string passes so that the string can be stretched to produce a high pitch and a "sliding" musical tone, as may be desired.
Abstract: The present invention relates to an electrical circuit for current regulation in DC motors including a sensitivity control means therefor. The circuit includes a means for sensing a predetermined current level in the load of a DC motor. In combination therewith is a subcircuit for cutting-off the load current when the predetermined current level has been reached. Additionally, there is provided means for restoring the load current when, after load current cutoff, the inductive motor current has fallen to a level sufficient to restart the subcircuit.
Abstract: The present invention constitutes an electrical mounting and conduction means having a support element having a generally U-shaped interior surface, the base of the exterior of the support element being in thermal contact with a heat dissipating surface; a carrier element having a generally U-shaped exteriorsurface, the surface having a cross-section of smaller dimension than that of the U-shaped surface of the support element, the carrier element being nestable within the support element; and locking means removably securable to adjacent arm members of each of the support and carrier elements for maintaining the support and carrier elements in selective securement to each other.
