Abstract: An apparatus for storing and dispensing liquids which is made up of a rectangular container having a collapsible inner shell and a rigid outer shell, a fill neck mounted on the collapsible inner shell, the fill neck being designed to extend through an opening in the outer shell and being rigidly secured and supported to the outer shell. The fill neck includes a spout which may form a primary quick release connection with the fill neck or a secondary non-releasable connection with the fill neck to allow for single use.

Abstract: An impeller vane assembly for blending liquids with solid particulate matter in which a center drive shaft extends through a housing having a solid particle inlet and a liquid inlet together with an outlet, and upper and lower impeller vanes are aligned respectively with the particle inlet and liquid inlet to cause intermixing of the solids and liquids by counterflow of the liquid into the upper impeller region, the upper and lower vanes being separated by a common divider plate, and the vanes are characterized by being curved in the direction of rotation of the impeller and having outer radially extending tips which terminate at the outer peripheral edge of the common divider plate, the vanes being operative to balance the point at which the solids and liquid are intermixed between the solid particle inlet and annular space surrounding the impeller.

Abstract: A splice connector assembly for electrically connecting or splicing mini-coaxial cable ends together includes an insert having opposed conductor pin-receiving sockets, a crimping member at one end of the body for crimping one cable end to the body with its conductor pin inserted into one of the sockets, and another cable end having its conductor pin inserted into the other socket, the assembly being conformable for use alone or in wall mount applications and with a wall mount clip color-coded to signify intended application of the splice connector for different uses and a tool for positioning the clip onto the connector body.

Abstract: An infant surround support having a head support member and opposite side support members and foot rest members forming a relatively continuous peripheral cushion support for an infant.

Abstract: An internally illuminated snowboard track for recreational areas or parks which are operated at night is made up of a continuous elongated transparent rail which is supported a predetermined distance above the ground by a base support member, and a light source extends longitudinally and internally of the rail to project light outwardly therefrom. A base stabilizer beneath the support member can either be planted in the snow or anchored to the ground surface in the track system may be inclined, curved, straight or provided with one or more bends. A snowboard ramp may be constructed in the same basic manner to serve as a jump for snowboarders.

Abstract: A drainage system for separating oil and debris from water run-off wherein a chamber in the path of flow of the run-off includes a downwardly inclined screen and a debris-collecting fence beneath the screen to maintain separation between the debris and water; and an organic absorber may be positioned in the path of flow of the water beneath the screen to remove organic oils from the run-off.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for separating oil and debris from urban water run-off, the apparatus being made up of a chamber which is mounted in a storm drain system and has an inner basin with a tilted wire wedge wire screen filter in the path of flow of the run-off, an organic absorber floats on the water as it is collected in the basin, and a discharge plate has a series of slots which are sized to regulate the flow rate of discharge of the water from the basin for removal through an outlet at the lower end of the chamber. The method and apparatus are conformable for use with existing storm drain systems along curbs or gutters as well as parking lots, runways and the like.

Abstract: A coating composition for a golf ball is comprised of a slippery, transparent or white, non-sticky lubricant film, and a method for applying same to a golf ball comprises the steps of applying the lubricant to an external surface of the golf ball prior to striking the ball with a golf club, and applying the coating uniformly to the external surface of the golf ball and to a sufficient degree as to reduce the friction between said external surface and the atmosphere or ground when propelled through the atmosphere or along the ground, respectively.

Abstract: A termination assembly for a mini-coaxial cable wherein the connector body is conformable for use with different sized cables, the connector body can be assembled in the field with selected crimping members and centering guides of matching colors to signify the cable size to be inserted into the connector body, and each different sized cable may include a portion which is color-coded to correspond to the colors of the crimping member and guide assembled into the connector body for that size of cable.

Abstract: A hand-held coaxial cable stripper made up of first and second jaws pivotally connected to a body portion including a channel for insertion of a cable end, the channel containing blade members and a blade adjustment member for precise and accurate adjustment of the cutting depth of the blade.

Abstract: An article suspension device for infants includes a length of cord having a continuous encircling member at one end for connection to a highchair or stroller or the like. An elastic loop is attached at the second end of the cord including an adjustable sleeve which allows for adjustment of the length of the elastic cord as well as adjustment of the elastic loop. The device further includes a fabric covering in outer surrounding relation to the cord.

Abstract: A crimping tool for connecting a cable fitting to the end of a cable is made up of an elongated body having a lever arm pivoted at one end of the body to actuate a plunger having a chuck at one end toward and away from axially slidable die portions on the body, and the die portions can be expanded to permit insertion of the connector sleeve and cable into engagement with the end of the chuck and contracted to apply a uniform crimping force to the fitting in response to an axial force applied to the chuck to increase the crimping force causing the die portions to be further contracted into crimping engagement following which the die portions can be expanded to release the fitting and cable from the tool.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for measuring fluid flow in a break between closely spaced confronting ends of a fluid line including first and second angularly extending conduit sections forming a U-shaped assembly housing straightening vanes and a metering device.
