Abstract: This timekeeper comprises a first timer (4), means (12) for connecting it selectively to the train of the timekeeper (T), a second timer (5), a synchronous coupling between the first (4) and second (5) timers, and fly-back means (13, 13?, 9, 11) for said timers (4, 5). An auxiliary motive source (10?) is in a driving relationship with the second timer (5) and a one-way coupling (6a, 7a) is situated between the first (4) and second (5) timers to regulate the speed of movement of the latter at a predetermined ratio with the speed of movement of the first timer (4) while allowing one-way relative movement of the first timer (4) relative to the second (5) when the latter is in the stop position and one-way relative movement in the opposite sense of the second timer (5) when the first timer (4) is in the stop position.

Abstract: An excavating apparatus having a prime mover with a longitudinal centerline and a main frame with an engine, a ground drive system and an excavation boom operatively attached thereto wherein the excavation boom has a first end and a second end. The first end of the boom is operatively pivotally attached to the main frame along a main frame pivot axis. The main frame pivot axis is transverse to the longitudinal centerline of the prime mover. A head shaft operatively rotatably attached to the second end of the boom and is operatively pivotally attached to the second end of the boom. Also, the excavation drum is mounted onto the head shaft in a manner that the excavation drum cooperates with the excavation chain and a fixed cutter pattern of the excavation chain to stay in consistent alignment with the fixed cutter pattern of the excavation drum.
Abstract: A ball carrier device (10) adapted to be suspended from the handle bars (101) of a bicycle (100) wherein, the carrier device (10) includes a main closed loop strap member (20) having an enlarged central loop (21) flanked by a pair of discrete auxiliary loops (22) (23) and a plurality of sling strap members (30) (31) (32) having opposite ends connected to the enlarged central loop portion of the main strap member (20) to form an open cradle dimensioned to receive a sports ball (200) wherein, the auxiliary loops (22) (23) are dimensioned to be slipped over the opposite ends of the bicycle handle bars (101).
Abstract: An elastic assembly joined to at least one side face of one of the members to be assembled is engaged by elastic deformation with a ratchet fastening element fixedly connected to the other member to be assembled. These elastic assemblies are constituted by an elongated element. The assembly side face to which it is joined has an elongated receptacle for the reception thereof, this forming in the assembly side face a opening through which a side portion of its wall projects to lie within the trajectory of the ratchet fastening element so as to allow coupling of this ratchet fastening element, at least one of the faces of the latter being configured to hold the elongated element under elastic strain and being orientated to resolve the force exerted upon it into a component which tends to hold the assembled members in place.
