Abstract: A removable lock for bicycles or the like wherein a portion of the lock housing extends into the interior of the tubular head or sleeve and the fork stem is locked therein to prevent rotation of said parts. Means are also provided on said lock housing for anchoring a wire rope or restraint to effectively prevent theft of the bicycle when the wire rope is wound around a metal post or rack.

Abstract: Solid plant food formulations are disclosed which can be embedded in the soil adjacent but spaced from the plant roots for the release of primary plant nutrients and fertilizing components each time the plant is watered. The solid compositions contain fertilizer constituents, gel-forming materials and reactants therefore which, in the presence of water, combine to form a semi-permeable surface membrane or layer through which the plant nutrients migrate. Beneficial trace elements are also included. Sequestering agents are incorporated to enhance and insure the migration of the nutrients, particularly the trace elements, into the soil and preventing the formation of water-soluble products through metathetic reactions or reactions with the ingredients in the soil. The amount of nutrients released is proportionate to the volume of water applied.

Abstract: A deep fat fryer which saves on fat by reducing the amountof non-working fat in the fat-containing vessel by using fat displacers which are removable to permit the use of conventional tools for cleaning; wherein the periodic addition of make-up fat to said fat-containing vessel dispenses with the need for changing the fat therein over an unlimited period of time.

Abstract: A non-invasive, non-occluding pressure transducer for monitoring subcutaneous blood pressure, which can be worn for extended periods of time without physical discomfort, for physiological, psychological and psychiatric evaluation, and for clinical procedures and surgical monitoring and truth-verification polygraph applications, having suitable frequency response characteristics for high-fidelity recordation of subcutaneous blood pressure changes.

Abstract: A deep fat fryer which maintains fat clean and extends fat life by automatically removing crumbs and food particles from the bottom of fat-containing vessels as said crumbs and food particles settle thereon during frying.

Abstract: A one piece, lightweight, molded bathroom cabinet positioned above the washbowl which may be either installed on the wall surface or may be recessed in the wall. The mirrored doors are pivotally mounted interiorly of the marginal edges of the face of the cabinet and may be readily removed.

Abstract: A removable lock primarily designed for bicycles or the like which is incorporated in the tubular head or sleeve and extends interiorly into the tubular steering stem or post, the lock including tumblers, a stationary housing and an interiorly positioned rotary shaft associated with said tumblers including a pair of spring arms which wind around the shaft in inoperative position and extend outwardly in operative position through said housing interiorly of said stem to prevent rotation of the steering post and withdrawal of the lock. Means are also provided for anchoring a wire rope or restraint on the lock to effectively prevent rotation of the wheels, etc.

Abstract: A forced-air, convection-cooled, stud-mounted, silicon junction diode, full-wave rectifier power pack having improved cooling air circulation and a more effective electrical conductance and transfer of heat, along with lower and more uniform dissipation of the same, resulting in lower diode junction operating temperatures and correspondingly longer, maintenance-free service life.

Abstract: A device for rupturing a pressurized cylinder containing a fire extinguishing product wherein when the temperature is high enough to melt the fusible link, it will cause a spring-loaded punch to forcibly propel the punch downwardly to rupture a rupturable disk in the cylinder to allow the contents to be ejected therefrom.

Abstract: A dial pressure gage having a back-check valve with hand-operated pressure-relief control for maintaining readout on the gage for as long as desired combined with a length of flexible hose and quick-disconnect coupler for easy adaptation to and remote sensing of pressure.

Abstract: A new geranium cultivar distinguished by its ability to grow vigorously and flower profusely under high humidity and temperature conditions, a shorter time requirement to initiate inflorescence, and by the very large size of the florets and floret clusters which comprise the blooms.

Abstract: A new variety of geranium plant distinguished by the large size of its inflorescence and the large size of the florets, its capability to bloom throughout the year with adequate photoperiod, its tolerance of high summer night temperatures, and the intense smoky rose coloring of the flowers.

Abstract: A new geranium cultivar distinguished by its more compact and free-branching growth, its greater flowering potential, and the intensification of its pink coloring under high temperature and high light intensities. This plant blooms continuously, is tolerant of high nighttime temperatures, has good strength against breaking apart or shattering in wind or rain, and is highly resistant to Botrytis cinerea infection.

Abstract: A new variety of dieffenbachia plant characterized by the almost solid white color of the major central area of its leaves and the dark green color of the leaf margins, which color appears as though having been brushed roughly into the margins of the white area.

Abstract: A new variety of rose plant of the floribunda type particularly intended for greenhouse culture and the production of cut flowers, this plant being distinguished by the pleasing and unusual color contrast in its blooms which show a heavy suffusion of red extending in progressing stages from the periphery of the petals toward the base of the petals as the blossom opens passing through a cream colored central portion to a light yellow area at the base of the petals. The new plant is further distinguished by its uniform production of fine quality, medium sized blooms throughout the entire year, under greenhouse conditions, and by lasting quality of the blooms which are carried by sturdy stems and peduncles.

Abstract: A new variety of hybrid azalea plant particularly suited for greenhouse forcing because of its vigorous and well branching growth habits, its prolific breaking, and its abundant production of ruffled and semi-double blossoms of delicate shell pink and creamy white coloration.

Abstract: A new variety of African violet plant for greenhouse culture and potted plant production distinguished by its unique soft blue flowers which are characterized by petals having a fine white marginal edging, the flowers being held well above the foliage on strong upright peduncles, and by a strong growth habit that performs well under considerably less than optimum conditions.

Abstract: A new variety of African violet plant for pot plant culture distinguished by a striking blue and white bi-color flower and a profusely blooming, fast and vigorous growing plant which produces attractive light, lively green foliage.

Abstract: A new and distinct variety of African violet plant for potted plant culture distinguished by its large white flowers which, in general, are uniquely arranged in a circular pattern, by its ability to produce exceptionally large, abundant and attractive foliage, and by its recurrent to continuous year around blooming habit.

Abstract: A new and distinct cultivar of pot chrysanthemum plant characterized by its single flower form and flowers which have several rows of pink ray florets which possess good substance and long life and which have a minimal production of pollen. This new variety is not temperature sensitive, has an upright pot habit and good breaking ability, and an abundant production of flowers when grown as a spray plant.
