Abstract: An adjustable flow rate nozzle for atomizing liquids comprises a tubular-like body for conducting a liquid under pressure having a discharge end terminating in a single plane surface, a structured device having a single plane surface which is attached with its plane surface contiguous with the plane surface of the tubular-like conduit and a slit-like aperature formed between the single plane surfaces of the tubular-like conduit and the structured device. The size of the slit-like aperture and thus the atomized flow rate is adjustable by securing structured devices to cooperate with the discharge end of the tubular-like body. The tubular body contains a main feed cavity of relatively large circular cross section and at least one corona cavity which is elongated outwardly from the main feed cavity. The corona cavity includes a pair of spaced sidewalls extending outwardly from the main feed cavity and an arcuate end wall joining the spaced side walls remote from the main feed cavity.

Abstract: Apparatus is provided for supporting the end portion of a workpiece blank which extends through and to the rear of power shear blades. The apparatus includes a table top and a frame supporting the table top. The front portion of the table top is supported for limited vertical displacement by rollers on opposite sides of the table engaged in horizontal track sections of vertically displaceable tracks interposed between the table top and the frame. The rear portion of the table top is separately supported by reciprocating rear table supports on opposite sides of the table top, the rear table supports being guided for vertical displacement in vertical ways provided on opposite sides of the frame. The table top is displaceable downwardly in response to downward movement of the movable shear blade, and is tiltable rearwardly after initial downward displacement by reason of the rear table supports being allowed greater downward displacement than the rollers supporting the front portion of the table top.

Abstract: Gutter hangers with sealing means for fasteners such as nails, piercing the gutter rear wall and the facia board of a building. The sealing means may be of widely varied type, as for example, compressible grommets surrounding the nail in an eaves trough hanger as shown in U.S. Pat. No. 1,635,871 dated July 12, 1927, or may be in the form of a flexible compressible sealing strip positioned in the U-bend over the rear edge of the gutter shown in FIG. 3 of U.S. Pat. No. 3,416,760, Sauder, dated Dec. 17, 1968. The sealing means are preferably of compressible elastomeric material such as neoprene.

Abstract: This invention relates generally to water soluble wood treating compositions and methods for preservation of wood or products made from wood. In the general practice of this invention, wooden objects are treated with water soluble wood treating and preserving solutions consisting of blends of (A) from 0.1% to about 50% by weight of a chlorophenol selected from a group consisting of pentachlorophenol and tetrachlorophenol and mixtures thereof (B) from about 2% to about 98% by weight aliphatic alcohols selected from the group consisting of n-butyl alcohol, secondary butyl alcohol, isobutyl alcohol, tertiary butyl alcohol and isopropyl alcohol and mixtures thereof (C) from about 0.56% to about 45% of an amine selected from the group consisting of ammonium hydroxide, triethyl amine, trimethyl amine, methyl amine and methyldiethanolamine and mixtures thereof and (D) from about 1% to about 97% by weight water.

Abstract: The invention relates to a spin-on centrifugal filter or separator for purifying liquid such as oil used in an engine, and to the method of making and assembling the same. The completed separator is in the form of a spin-on cartridge having rotatably mounted therein a jet-actuated, centrifugal separator or rotor. The cartridge, which can conveniently be screw-threaded and thus of the spin-on type, comprises an outer housing or casing within which the rotor is mounted on a perforated hollow shaft depending from a spin-on cover for the cartridge which may be applied to the outer casing or housing after the rotor has been assembled on the hollow shaft. Liquid, e.g., oil, to be treated enters the cartridge from the engine casing, through a screw-threaded opening in the spin-on cover, passes to and through the hollow perforated shaft into the interior of the rotor where the liquid, under pressure, serves to impart centrifugal motion to the rotor, and passes outwardly from the rotor through jet openings therein.

Abstract: An angulation head for removable attachment to a dental implant of a type having a hollow interiorly threaded neck integrally attached to an implant portion comprises a stem at least a portion of which is exteriorly threaded and adapted to be screwed into the hollow neck, an integral cap, or flange to seat on top of the neck and a bendable upstanding head portion which is adaptable to be bent angularly with respect to the cap and stem by use of a manual bending tool. The bending tool comprises a hand held elongated holder for the angulation head and an elongated bending shaft for bending the head portion. The hand held holder includes an elongated handle having at one end a flat surface normal to the axis of the handle and an axial socket extending inwardly from said flat end for receiving the stem of the angulation head with the cap seated on the flat end, the socket having interior threads for engaging the threaded portion of the stem.

Abstract: An electrical connector is disclosed comprising an elongated hollow tube having opposite sides and opposite open ends, and an elongated electrically conductive metal strap extending longitudinally within the tube. The strap has toothed ends terminating short of the opposite ends of the tube, and each end has a plurality of teeth projecting from the same side of the strap toward one side of the tube. A pair of cams project inwardly from the other side of the tube toward the one side thereof, there being one of the cams located inwardly of each end of the metal strap and bearing on the strap. The tube has an opening formed in an intermediate portion thereof from the one side extending toward the other side leaving a connecting hinge in the other side about which the opposite ends of the tube are normally folded toward each other, forming an angle substantially less than 180.degree.

Abstract: A building panel comprising, when completed, a substantially rigid polyester resin building mass in sheet form having molded therein a plurality of closely compacted porous scoria rock particles of varied size in range of 1/4 to 11/4 inch diameter size and each comprising vesicules of varied size in range of 0.1 to 0.5 millimeters diameter that occupy the major portion of the volume of each such particle, such particles being compacted to form a substantially incompressible mass, said polyester resin being of substantial tensile strength and extending between the rock particles and including fingerlike intrusions extending into the larger vesicules of the rock particles and holding the rock particles together, said compacted rock particles substantially filling the entire volume of the polyester resinous mass, and including portions extending beyond the volume occupied by such polyester resin mass.
