A cigarette igniter is mounted within the housing which includes a resistance heating element mounted adjacent the lift arm coupled with a source of electrical current through a switch. An actuator is provided for actuating the lift arm, switch and gate.

Abstract: An electrical surge arrester tester comprising two surge arrester test leads and a voltage generator for generating and applying DC voltage of continuously increasing magnitudes to the surge arrester test leads. A monitor is provided for continuously and simultaneously monitoring the magnitude of DC voltages being applied to, and the current being conducted across, the surge arrester test leads. A counter is provided for digitally recording the monitored firing voltage when the monitored current exceeds a preselected magnitude. A terminator circuit is provided for terminating the generation and application of voltage by the voltage generator upon recording of the firing voltage. A digital display is also provided for displaying the digitally recorded firing voltage.

Abstract: A tie clasp for supporting neckwear comprising a plate to be positioned on the front of a shirt collar and a hook mounted on the back of the plate for suspending the plate from the shirt collar. The hook defines an open-ended shirt collar receiving channel extending from adjacent the upper edge of the plate downwardly from the plate upper edge and away from the plate whereby upon placing a shirt collar within the hook receiving channel the lower edge of the tie clasp plate projects outwardly from the shirt. A neckwear receiving device is positioned on the back of the plate below the hook. The neckwear receiving device includes upper and lower parallel bars each segmented to define a central slot through which neckwear may be passed in suspending the neckwear from the receiving device bars with the neckwear ends draped in mutually lateral or overlaid positions, respectively.

Abstract: A machine for successively feeding stacked blanks comprising a conveyor mounted for movement along a conveyor path passing through a receiving station where blanks may be deposited thereon, and a plurality of chutes mounted successively above the conveyor path at the receiving station with each chute positioned in spaced relation with the conveyor. A machine for extracting blanks from stacks and for depositing them upon the chutes is located at the receiving station. The feed machine also has a mechanism for simultaneously holding blanks deposited upon the chutes and for simultaneously releasing them thereby to enable them to be simultaneously placed upon the conveyor and successively conveyed from the receiving station.

Abstract: A space humidifier for humidifying air being forced into a room through a vent located adjacent the room floor. The space humidifier comprises a casing sized to be seated over the floor vent, an air shaft within the casing, a reservoir mounted within the casing aside the air shaft, a baffle for deflecting air rising out from the air shaft downwardly into the reservoir, and a lid having an opening mounted atop the casing above the reservoir.

Abstract: An industrial fuel storage and self-blending tank comprising a container having a top, a bottom and sides forming an enclosed chamber with an outlet adjacent the container top through which gases may exit the chamber. A dip tube is mounted within the container extending from adjacent the container bottom to the container outlet. The dip tube has a lower opening in a lower portion thereof and an upper opening in an upper portion thereof providing fluid communications between the interior and exterior of the tube. A wick is mounted within the dip tube overlaying the upper opening. A valve is provided to control the flow of gases through the container outlet.

Abstract: Method and apparatus for balancing frequency crossover of an audio speaker system is disclosed by which a system woofer circuit is provided with inductance proportional to the product of woofer impedance and the effective baffle diameter of a flat baffle to which a system squaker is mounted.

Abstract: A tie clasp for supporting neckwear comprising a plate adapted to be positioned on the front of a shirt collar, a hook rigidly or pivotably mounted on the back of the plate for suspending the plate from the shirt collar, and receiving means having mutually spaced bars mounted on the back of the plate below the hook through which neckwear may be passed in draping the neckwear ends in mutual lateral or overlaid positions, respectively.

Abstract: A method is disclosed for implanting hair into human skin comprising the steps of inserting an end of a hollow outer needle into skin to form a pit in the surface thereof, sliding an inner needle within the outer needle to position an end of the inner needle supporting a bulbous end of a hair within the skin pit adjacent the end of the outer needle, and extracting the outer and inner needles from the skin pit.Apparatus is also disclosed for implanting hair into human skin which apparatus comprises a hollow outer needle having a relatively sharp end for piercing skin, a hollow inner needle slidably disposed within the hollow outer needle and having a centrally apertured relatively blunt end for receiving a hair therethrough and for supporting a bulbous hair end on the surface thereof, and means for moving the inner needle blunt end between positions remote and positions closely adjacent the outer needle sharp end.

Abstract: A fire extinguishing system is disclosed for a mobile home having a roof, side walls and a floor enclosing living spaces to which water may be supplied through a water line. The fire extinguishing system includes a trunk line mounted to the roof connected with the water line, a plurality of branch lines coupled with the trunk line and extending down through openings in the roof into the living spaces, means for inhibiting water exterior the branch and trunk lines from passing through the roof openings, and a plurality of heat responsive sprinkler heads mounted to the plurality of branch lines within the living spaces.

Abstract: A spray machine comprising a track and a carriage movably supported on the track carrying a cam actuator and a fluid spray gun. An air cylinder is mounted above the track having a piston slidably disposed therein with opposite piston ends coupled with the carriage. A pair of air lines are connected to opposite ends of the cylinder and to a source of compressed air through a valve controlling the flow of air delivered to the air cylinder. A valve actuator is mounted adjacent opposite ends of the track for activating the valve upon engagement with the cam actuator as the carriage approaches the track ends.

Abstract: A tie clasp is disclosed for supporting neckwear. The tie clasp comprises a plate adapted to be positioned on the front of a shirt collar, hook means mounted on the back of said plate for suspending said plate from the shirt collar, and receiving means mounted on the back of said plate below said hook means through which neckwear may be passsed generally horizontally or vertically in draping the neckwear ends in mutual lateral or overlaid positions, respectively.
