Abstract: Apparatus for stacking spring assemblies produced on a machine for making spring assemblies wherein the coils are connected by lacing wire, comprising a table onto which the spring assemblies are discharged, a first conveyor for removing the assemblies from the place of discharge towards a place of stacking, a second conveyor for lifting the successively discharged spring assemblies from the table and placing them in a stack on a dolly, a third conveyor for ejecting the stacked dolly when a predetermined number of spring assemblies have been deposited thereon and drive mechanisms for taking and synchronizing the successive operations.

Abstract: This invention relates to a police weapon comprised of two rigid elongate sticks joined at one end by a flexible thong to enable disposing them side by side when the weapon is not being used but to permit whirling one about the other in use and especially to making the sticks of rigid and relatively flexible portions to make the weapon less lethal in use.

Abstract: A combination slub catcher and tension control apparatus for use in the processing of yarn wherein a plurality of narrow parallel blades are supported at one side transversely to the path of travel of the yarn and a single rigid bar supported at the other side longitudinally of the path of the yarn. The confronting surfaces of the transversely and longitudinally supported blades and the bar define a narrow yarn passage. The transversely supported blades are supported in a holder in which they are individually yieldable to the passage of enlargements in the yarn and the longitudinally supported bar is supported on an eccentric for pivotal movement about an axis parallel to the transverse blades and for adjustment toward or from the transverse blades to adjust the width of the yarn passage. A tension lever is mounted on the upper end of the bar above the pivot axis for biasing the bar relative to the blades.

Abstract: An attachment for a drafting board comprising an elongate cylindrical chamber adapted to be removably attached to an edge of a drafting board, such cylindrical chamber containing a longitudinal opening through which paper may be withdrawn or retracted, a rotor mounted within the chamber for receiving a roll of drafting paper, spring means mounted within the chamber for yieldably pressing the paper against the surface of the rotor, said spring means being adapted to be withdrawn to enable placing the paper within the chamber and a crank for rotating the rotor.
