Abstract: A compartment, adapted to receive the head of a patient therein, which includes means for receiving a supply of oxygen or similar gas therein, the geometry being such that a continuous supply of such gas is provided adjacent the patient's face.

Abstract: A tool for removing stakes and forms from around a hardened foundation, comprising: a body portion having [1] stake-and-form separating portion, [2] stake-receiving aperture means, and [3] form gripping portion; and a lever portion connected to said body portion, said lever portion including a foot rest at one end thereof.

Abstract: A pump, for injecting chemicals into a well, comprising a pivot arm for synchronous movement with a well pump. The pivot arm causes reciprocation of a plunger within the body of the chemical pump. The plunger, during its upward stroke causes the entry of chemicals from an outside source into the pump body and, during its downward stroke causes the exiting of the chemicals into the well.

Abstract: A device for measuring fluid flow in a line. The device includes a bored housing, an orifice plate, and carrier therefor, removably positioned in the housing bore, and opposed sleeves removably positioned in the bore to secure the orifice plate. The orifice carrier has a central arcuate cutout portion of greater than 180.degree. in which the orifice plate is removably positioned. Line pressure is utilized to secure the orifice plate carrier and a housing lock plate.

Abstract: A device for pressure sealing a reactor or thermowell extending therein comprising a disc having individual tubes welded thereto and sheathed thermocouples passing through such tubes and brazed thereto.

Abstract: An article of furniture including a recessed portion for accomodating a removable planter as well as a storage area or areas for receiving a plurality of diverse items.

Abstract: Frame comprised of I-beam verticals linked by spaced horizontals, fillers serving to separate the horizontals. Assembly involves inserting the horizontals within facing I-beam channels and separating said horizontals by fillers snapped into the I-beam channels.

Abstract: A cylindrical container having combination means for removable access to the interior thereof as well as for positioning said container to another object.

Abstract: A device for preventing a dead bolt handle from being turned, comprising a knob encompassing portion depending from a handle accommodating housing. Said encompassing portion and housing so coact that the tendency of said device to rotate on said handle being turned is barred by said knob encompassing portion abutting a door knob.

Abstract: An article of furniture including a recessed portion for accomodating a removable planter as well as a storage area or areas for receiving a plurality of diverse items.

Abstract: A valve device adapted to be fitted to an exhaust opening, said device comprising an apertured housing accomodating a slidable valve body. On exhaust pressure exerting sufficient force against said valve body, the exhaust fluid may exit through said apertures and concurrently cause emission of a signal, indicating exhaust.

Abstract: An assembly for removing contaminants from gas, comprising a cylinder having therein a spiral path-forming member, a layer of absorbent fluid, and substantially filled with mass transfer media.

Abstract: A valve actuating device for causing both rotation and linear movement of a valve.

Abstract: A device for removing contaminants from gas or other fluids. Such device includes, in a column, a tortuous pathforming member, such member including a plurality of path dispersal elements, all for assuring intimate contact between such gas or other fluids and a contaminant absorber.

Abstract: A spirally configured member, rotatably positioned within an elongated tube, the spiral member adapted to continuously clean the tube's interior wall when such member is caused to rotate. The spiral has one end rotatably anchored by a plug fixed to one upstream end of the tube and a swivel linking the plug and the spiral member.

Abstract: A fitting coupled to a water source, comprising an orifice, means for regulating the quantity of water passing through said orifice, an abutment for water passing through said orifice, and laterally displaced water outlet means.

Abstract: Control device for saving fuel in multi-cylinder engines wherein any selected number of cylinders may be removed from the power cycle of the engine by selectively bringing into and out of working operation the intake and exhaust valves of the respective cylinders. Such cylinders each have movable intake and exhaust push rods in mechanical relation to the rocker arms of the engine for forcing the rocker arms to selectively open and close the intake and exhaust valves. Hydraulic fluid is selectively connected in fluid communication with such intake push rods and exhaust push rods.

Abstract: A clamp device for effectively evacuating the contents of a flexible tube dispenser is disclosed. The device comprises upper and lower arm portions having a straight trailing side, a forward side having a centrally located curved portion, and opposing arcuate surfaces such that said arm portions are thickest at their centers. End members maintain the separation of the arm portions. In one embodiment, the arm portions are permanently affixed to the end members. In a second embodiment, the lower arm portion is latchably connected to one of the end members.

Abstract: A device for controlling the supply of fluid to a valve actuator, thereby controlling the opening and closing of a valve, all in response to an input signal. Means are provided whereby once fluid communication between the valve actuator and the actuator fluid source is closed, said input signal alone may not reopen such fluid communication.

Abstract: A gate valve operator having dual pistons, one having pilot pressure acting thereagainst thereby tending to open the valve, and one having line pressure acting thereagainst tending to close the valve. The line pressure piston's pressure surface area may be varied to compensate for wells having depleted pressure, and line pressure at all times tends to close the valve, i.e., the actuator is unbalanced.
