Abstract: A non-radio frequency energy sensitive sheet shaped to cover a palm and wrist is wrapped over a radio frequency energy sensitive sheet, a splint, attachment strap first ends, and a rod configured to receive the other ends of the attachment straps around the rod, and radio frequency energy is injected into the wrap by a mold having non-radio frequency energy sensitive press walls kept below sheet melting temperature until the second sheet is fused to itself around the splint and around the rod and bonded to the first sheet by the radio frequency generated heat provided by the second sheet.

Abstract: A pair of curved arms attached to a body form an annular seat for holding a first diameter rebar, a slot through the outer diameter of the body forms a radially inward pathway to the seat for rebar, the apex of a convex bar attached to the body is yieldable radially outward to pressure of a second, larger diameter rebar in the seat and is not significantly moved by the first diameter rebar when the smaller diameter first diameter rebar is in the seat. The seat springally grips either diameter rebar.

Abstract: A cavity formed in a plate of a spine of a loose-leaf binder is open at the front of the cavity toward the back of the spine and is configured to hold a nut and prevent rotation of the nut in the cavity and to receive a threaded screw clearingly of the screw threads through the back of the cavity for threading the screw in the threads of the nut.

Abstract: A corner element includes first and second sections that fit into legs of a framing channel, a first pair of parallel vertical panels on the first section interleave with a second pair of vertical parallel panels on the second section when the sections are rotated on an integral connecting hinge. A side of one of the panels of one section is recessed to receive one of the panels of the other section. One of the panels of one section is designed to receive a fastener that is guided by a through hole in a panel of the other section parallel to the height of panel of the other section.

Abstract: A carriage wheel and track upon which the wheel runs include meshed ridges and grooves oriented longitudinally with the track at the tangency of the wheel with the track, and force urging the track toward the wheel is applied to the track by a counter force roller along a line that passes through the axis of the carriage wheel, through the axis of the counter force roller, and through the tangency of the carriage wheel with the track.

Abstract: A mailbox post includes a movable joint, an elastic element connected to said post at two locations, one on each side of the joint, supportive against tension force between the two locations and connected to the post at a third location between the two locations, supportive against twisting force on the joint.

Abstract: A lower portion of a shell is slidable along the length of the body of a gas cylinder, the upper portion of the shell is larger than the lower portion and includes a wall extending fixedly from the lower portion configured to laterally surround the valve, gauge and regulator on an end of the gas cylinder and is movable with the lower portion so that it can movably extend over the body of the cylinder. In another design, a rigid shield is mounted on a bar so that it extends over a periphery of the valve, gauge and regulator group that is mounted on an end of the gas cylinder to protect the group against damage by a foreign object when the cylinder is pressed into spaced apart brackets on the bar that prevent rotation of the cylinder around the bar, by a belt around the cylinder and bar. At least one of the brackets is configured to receive a second cylinder.

Abstract: A plurality of layers of thread, each sculptured by stringing, each higher layer strung around a larger diameter opening, forming a portion of a wing, and so strung symmetrically, forming a pair of wings, and forming a butterfly sculpture.

Abstract: In a counterbalance having a torsion spring which is torqued by a thread follower rotated by axially reciprocal movement of a spiral rod through the follower and into the torsion spring, the pitch of the spiral thread changes continuously, smoothly and consistently at a nonlinear rate according to an equation.

Abstract: An extruded rail adjacent to the glazing in a window has a pair of integrally extruded receivers adapted to attachingly receive predetermined window glazing bead brackets which are each adapted to mate with the receivers. The glazing can be installed from either the exterior side or the interior side of the window, and can be located closer to one or the other of the sides by attachment sequence and selection of the predetermined bead brackets.

Abstract: A filter housing having a bracket for attaching the housing to a septic tank outlet port and adapted for fluid flow connection to an outlet port on the housing, contains a removable filter element having an outlet port connected to the outlet port on the housing and an opening in the lower end of the housing for delivering septic tank fluid to the filter, and includes a seal element buoyantly responsive closingly to fluid in a septic tank when the filter housing is mounted in a septic tank, operatively connected to the filter element for closing the open lower end of the filter housing and forming a temporary second filter at the lower open end when the filter element is removed from the filter housing.

Abstract: A plurality of radio pagers which can perform apparatus related tasks and which include the same unique pager address ID code, emulate to an available commercial paging service a single pager having the unique pager address ID code, in responding with an acknowledgement transmission to receipt by the plurality of radio pagers to a location request transmission from the available commercial paging service of the unique pager address ID code.

Abstract: A ring capture mechanism of a loose-leaf binder includes a first plate having a U-shaped slot of continuous circumference designed to receive a ring of the binder through the slot within the circumference. The first plate moves across a second plate having a straight slot of continuous circumference designed to receive the ring of the binder, and locks the arms of a ring contained in both slots in the legs of the U-shaped slot.

Abstract: A die-cut sheet of material is folded in three and clamped by a ring binder mechanism so that two panels formed by the folding are pressed to a third panel that is between the folds, forming a binder cover leaf on each side of the mechanism. The ends of the folded panels are spaced from the fold lines, and may be fastened together to form a horizontal pocket, a vertical pocket, or horizontal and vertical pockets in both leafs.

Abstract: In an element for a book which includes a sheet having a slit configured for receiving an item through the sheet, the improvement includes the slit going to two folds of the sheet along fold lines that are transverse to the slit, the folds being at angles that are 90 degrees or less.

Abstract: A plurality of U-shaped springs are hingedly attached by the arms of the U to a pair of covers forming a hinge on each cover and a channel configured to receive an article in the channel through the hinges.

Abstract: A septic tank adapted for burial in soil includes a movable anchor that extends near the bottom of the tank to hold the tank in the soil.

Abstract: A panel attached to a book on foldable extensions by which the panel can be positioned next to the book and at various heights within the book and maintain the same orientation at each position, has a slot configured to receive an object through the panel and an acute fold at each end of the slot transverse to the slot at the fold, blocking the end of the slot.

Abstract: A flexible resilient ribbon having first and second conductive surfaces is wrapped over the top edge of a pocket wall forming a bowed-out first conductive surface adjacent to the top edge of the wall which biases the first conductive surface into contact with the second conductive surface when a card is absent from the pocket, an alarm circuit IC terminal is connected by a network which includes a fixed resistor to power supply negative and the first and second conductive surfaces each of carbon, in series removable contact, connected to power supply positive.

Abstract: A screen frame formed from a metal sheet in a single unit folds and locks on V-cuts in a tube by a locking mechanism that is configured to engage in crossed directions by the folding.
