Abstract: A tubular electrode for use in a cutting torch which is primarily used in underwater cutting operations comprising a cutting rod made from tubing produced by rolling and forming copper coated sheet steel into the tubular shape which acts as a carrier for a plurality of metallic rods.

Abstract: The described invention embodies a plumbing fixture device for the determination and display of exacting control adjustments necessary to achieve a predetermined fluid temperature blend. The device of the invention employs an apparatus constructed of a set of manually operated fluid control valves with an enclosing valve body, and a temperature mixing indicator consisting of an electronic signal indicating means to translate and communicate sensed fluid discharge temperature into display indications depicting the need for a specific corrective control action by the operator. The electronic signal indicating means is an integral part of the fixture which for reasons of reliability is electrically activated by a fluid flow switch mechanically linked to the fluid control valve handles and provides a positive sequence of display indications that culminate in a quiescent state when the desired temperature range has been obtained.

Abstract: This invention relates to a novel key ring holder which can be used with only one hand to remove or replace a key ring full of keys. The invention comprises the key ring holder adapted at one end to fit around a belt loop and at the other end adapted to hold a set of keys on a ring in which there is a button actuated spring which is movable by one finger to open and close a U-shaped slot while other fingers of the same hand remove or replace the key ring on the U-shaped slot.

Abstract: This invention relates to an inflatable air celled tent in which the body of the tent consists of a series of air cells each of which has a one way valve, so that if any one of the cells is punctured the entire tent will not collapse.

Abstract: This invention relates to a safety device for holding a knife primarily for commercial use in restaurants, and stores. The holder is an elongated raised portion primarily made of stainless steel with a flange on each side. The elongated portion slants from a wider opening for insertion of knife back to a rear portion flush with the counter. The holder is slidably attached over or under the counter or other surface by side rail holders or mounting brackets, one holder on each side to slidably receive the flanges. The holder is easily removed for cleaning.

Abstract: This invention relates to a system to provide a controlled temperature mixing of two or more fluids by an immediate visual indication of necessity for particular adjustment, and achievement of a predetermined fluid blend temperature range. The device includes plumbing fixture apparatus comprising a set of manually controlled hot and cold fluid mixing valves and an integral fluid flow activated temperature sensor with electronic translation of fluid temperature imbalances between sensed blended fluid temperature and predetermined temperature values. A fluid temperature imbalance will cause illumination of a particular fluid control valve handle or handles to acknowledge and obtain corrective fluid temperature control by manually adjusting the fluid control valves until the proper fluid blend temperature range is achieved.

Abstract: This invention relates to a lounge to be used specifically in connection with a hot water spa, in which the lounge is constructed of water resistant materials and is constructed out of strips of material leaving large spaces in between the strips for the bubbling and circulating hot water to reach the individual who is lying in the lounge. The lounge is attached to the spa by a strap fixed to the lounge, the strap having eyelets, and the other end of the strap fixed to a bolt which is slidably received in a sleeve located vertically in the ground adjacent opposite ends of the spa.

Abstract: This invention relates to a new time clock system comprising a memory counter which counts seconds, minutes, hours, days, months and years for a 9,999 year period; a microprocessor which controls the counting of the time, which also operates a time display in 7-segment form, a thermal printer which prints the time on heat sensitive paper and finally computes the hours worked of an employee on a weekly or other payroll basis.

Abstract: This invention relates to a door closer and holder having a longitudinally movable rod containing a niche which rests against a stop plate to hold the door in an open position. A rotating cam is positioned adjacent the niche in the rod so that further movement of the rod in a longitudinal matter rotates the cam causing the rod to ride over and bypass the stop plate allowing the door to close.
