Abstract: A combination wall calendar and support for accommodating writing materials comprising a back panel provided with an aperture by means of which it can be suspended on a wall, a front panel for receiving a calendar pad, photograph or the like, a panel which may optionally be positioned in a plane parallel to the back panel or positioned forwardly thereof at an angle appropriate to provide an inclined writing surface and second and third panels for supporting the first panel in said writing position and defining a pocket for receiving and storing writing materials.
Abstract: A system for automatic control of water temperature by means of a plurality of pushbuttons or their equivalent bearing indicia identifying a range of available temperatures which, when actuated through appropriate circuitry, control the water valve setting as to the proportion of hot water to cold water and vice versa and as to the volume of water.
Abstract: A filter module wherein the fluid to be filtered is projected into a chamber containing a floating bed of buoyant bodies confined within the chamber at the top side and wherein the point of entry of the fluid is constantly moved about the center of the bed so that successive portions of the bed are subjected to weltering while the remainder is quiescent such that the solids are separated from the bodies dispersed by weltering and gravitate to the bottom of the module and are drawn off and the filtrate is drawn off through the quiescent portion of the bed at the top.
Abstract: An enclosure for an apartment house balcony wherein the balcony has a floor, roof and at least one open side, a wall member structured to be secured across said open side to close said open side, a window opening in said wall member, a transparent panel in said window opening so positioned as to permit light to enter directly into the balcony through the window opening and a reflector panel so positioned as to reflect light not normally entering the window opening into the area of the balcony shaded by the roof.
Abstract: A device for attachment to the gear shift lever of an outboard motor to enable shifting the gears from neutral to forward and/or reverse at a safe distance inboard of the motor.
Abstract: A toilet bowl provided with one or more fountains supported inside the rim so structured as to project solid, fan-shaped sheets of flush water downwardly on the inner surface of the bowl and a flange peripherally of the rim overlying the fountains.

Abstract: A transformer having a main winding and a control winding has a pair of E-shaped cores (10, 11), and an I-shaped third core (13) positioned on one E-shaped core (10). A small groove (14) is provided on the base plate (10c) of the first E-shaped core (10). A control winding (12) is wound on the I-shaped core (13) so that the winding (2) rests in the groove 14. Those cores (10, 11, 13) are made of ferrite material. Thus, both the main winding and the control winding can be produced using a winding machine.
Abstract: An outboard motor system for propelling a vessel comprising a power plant stationarily fixed to the vessel with its drive shaft in the horizontal athwartship position, a propeller assembly comprising a propeller and a kinematic train for driving the same mounted to the vessel for rotation about a horizontal axis parallel to the axis of the drive shaft and for vertical movement relative to the drive shaft, the kinematic train including an input shaft, the axis of which coincides with the axis of rotation of the propeller assembly and is parallel to the drive shaft, pulleys fixed to the respective shafts and a band entrained about the pulleys.
