Abstract: A barrier for closing and sealing a tubular passage while permitting ingress and egress of coating material into and out of the passage and with a mat of expandable adherent material secured to a barrier plate, the expansion and sealing actuated by exposure to curing heat.
Abstract: An Accumulator Conveyor having plural zones in which beds or tracks of closely positioned roller elements provide a planar support for moving chains or driven endless elements in successive zones, each zone separately driven from the others. At each end of the zone is a shaft which extends across the conveyor. A drive is connected to each shaft and drives the chains or driven endless elements at one end of each zone and the endless elements idle over the shaft on the other end. The drive is selectively energized to result in an extremely low friction conveyor and is coordinated to result in the accumulating function. In each successive zone the bed or track is offset or staggered from the next in parallel aspect in providing planar bridging support of the endless elements across each of the zone transitions.
Abstract: A lint remover roller assembly having a pressure sensitive adhesive tape roll in association therewith wherein the pressure sensitive adhesive tape roll comprises layers of adhesive tape with the adhesive surface thereof facing outwardly so as to remove lint and/or other foreign particles from fabric surfaces over which it is rolled.
Abstract: A simulated nipple which is integrally formed and having a special precision configuration in a hollowed manner forming a central cavity with a selectively positioned and configured throat portion in medical grade silicon rubber and including the manner of manufacture to provide precision created interior and exterior surfaces having a skin-like consistency and feel.
Abstract: A rapid change drill holder assembly consisting of a chuck-engaging adaptor holder for selective fixed engagement with a power tool chuck and a tool holder adaptor for selective operative engagement with the chuck-engaging adaptor holder so as to permit selective changing of tools fixedly mounted in the tool holder adaptor without the necessity of removing the chuck-engaging adaptor holder from the power tool chuck each time a tool change is required.
Abstract: A starting and reinforcing tab or plate for fasteners, especially suitable in reference to automobile bodies and trim, comprising a thin walled support plate having a plurality of upper surface upsets or indentations and an adhesive lower surface with a release sheet for activation and exposure of the mastic, and together providing a reinforcing element selectively locatable to steady a drill point for selected penetration of the reinforcing plate and the material to which the tab is applied and enhancing the grip of fasteners drawing the intermediate elements into a compression relationship.
Abstract: An electronic cycle control for electric downriggers providing the fisherman with a selection of amplitude for up and down motion at fishing depth for the ball or weight and offering a selection of dwell at each extreme of movement and functioning automatically and repetitively until terminated by the fisherman. The electronic control unit operates as a piggyback operator on the reversing relays of the electric motor of the downrigger.
Abstract: A substantially integral one-piece interval locator in flat relatively thin elongate material and having two or more interval spaced notches for locating building components on selected interval positions and including hardened punch points locating and holding the centers of structural members with high precision and repetitive accuracy. The structure includes hand grip means and tapered ends.
Abstract: A lid for use on a drinking cup is provided having a central horizontal cover portion which has a vent means provided therein. The vent means comprise a circular, horizontal top portion having a vent opening therethrough. The top portion has a downwardly depending first wall which has terminal end below the surface of the cover portion. An upwardly extending second wall merges with the terminal end of the first wall and extends upwardly therefrom in an outwardly spaced apart position respect thereto so as to merge with the cover portion of the lid. A plurality of spaced apart ribs connect the first wall and the second wall so as to cooperate therewith the form downwardly depending arcuate wave dampening baffle means which encircle the vent means beneath the surface of the cover portion so as to prevent accidental spillage of the cup contents through the vent means.
Abstract: A wheel of the bicycle type that is injection molded with a formulation of polyamide resin and fiber in which hub, spokes and rim are integral and where the precision injection molded wheel substantially elminates machining. The spokes are aerodynamic vanes in form. A new and improved bearing support structure convertable from front to back wheel usage is applied to the hub and axle.
Abstract: A swivel head counter for accurately measuring line in tension, such as a downrigger line passing over a pulley and the pulley driving a compact gear train. The gear train drives a counter wheel or knob so that actual depth or extension of downrigger line or the like may be directly read out. A swivel adjusts to maintain proper positioning of line to pulley.

Abstract: A drawer interlock combination for a stack or tier of drawers and simplified to include a frame forming a receptacle guide for a plurality of rotors, one rotor for each drawer in the stack and the same frame guiding a plurality of actuators, one for each drawer through a path limited in both extremes of travel and displaceable by the action of only one of the rotors so that only a single drawer may be opened at a time and plural drawers cannot be opened concurrently. The device may be completely locked by simple blocking of the travel of the actuators to less displacement than by an single of the rotors. The structure is simple, economical and easy to install. The parts repeat themselves and provide excellent drawer stabilization with overall locking of all drawers.

Abstract: A vehicle automatic fueling assembly having an automatic teller-type control command center which is energized by insertion of money or credit card by the vehicle driver from within the vehicle to select and pay for the amount of fuel desired. A computer control assembly is provided in operative command control engagement with the automatic teller-type command center so as to selectively actuate a robot controlled fueling assembly having an automatic cut-off fueling nozzle assembly into mating fueling engagement with an automatic cut-off fuel receiving valve assembly provided in associated with the modified gasoline tank of a vehicle. The vehicle automatic fuel assembly is also provided with wheel stop lock means and windshield cleaning and drying means which are also automatically controlled by the computer control assembly.
Abstract: A new and useful adjustable chair and adjustable height chair arms therefor in which a parallelogram or pantographic mechanism for activation of the height adjustment of the chair arms is located in the back portion of the chair structure and the arms are pivotal on the back. A back support post pivotally supports the back. The support post, then, is extensibly secured to the seat support or frame and the seat is tiltably pivotal on a swivel bracket operating to turn on the vertical axis of a spindle post extending upwardly from the chair base. The seat has an adjustable resilient compression stabilizing spring support forward of the seat tilting pivot and forward of the swivel post axis. The back support is torsionally supported on its pivot connection to the frame in an adjustable manner. Cushion stop means function between the back and the back support post.
Abstract: A magazine adapter comprising a one piece cast or molded magazine encircling element for use with extended magazines for firearms and including lock means to secure the magazine adapter to the magazine by utilization of the existing floor plate of the sliding type. The adapter is externally faired to the contour of the butt and grip of the firearm so that the adapter, in use, appears to be an extension of the butt and contoured to the butt configuration.
Abstract: A cable terminal formed in one piece in resin or plastic material providing a clam shell structure with integral hinge and which closes on a tortuously provided cable in and passages through the structure whereupon closure locks or latches the clam shell cable tautly into the terminal structure and closing a cable gripped bail element on selected rigging. A cap fits over the closed and locked terminal in the form of a terminal shroud or cover.
