Abstract: This invention relates to a steam turbine system which utilizes a unique heat-absorbing lens-shaped heating plate and boiler for the production of steam.

Abstract: A radiator device adapted for attachment to a radiator pipe, comprising a mounting base wrapped about the radiator pipe and secured thereto by wire fastenings; a plurality of outwardly disposed radiating fins circularly positioned about said mounting base and extending outwardly therefrom. This radiating device is adapted to be installed upon any size flue pipe extending from a furnace to a chimney to transmit flue pipe heat to the surrounding atmosphere.

Abstract: This invention is a fishing fly lure of a flat-bodied nymph hook comprising a fishing hook; a double-bowed center section attached to the fishing hook and a fishing eye attached to the double-bowed center section. The double-bowed center section is wrapped with fly preparation threaded to form a flat center section of the fishing lure.

Abstract: This invention is a constant flow container manufacturing device and process which consists of a rotating die drum device containing three paper punching machines capable of punching a circular container bottom, a rotary conveyor system synchronized at the same speed as the rotating die drum device and containing a plurality of rotatable mandrels thereon, said mandrels being synchronized to pass opposite the rotating paper punching machine. Means of transferring the container bottom from the rotating paper punching device to the moving mandrels. A paper clamp, positioned on the mandrel, adapted to clamp the edge of a pre-gummed paper blank, which rotates around the mandrel as it turns, pressing the pre-gummed paper blank to form a cup-like container on the mandrel.

Abstract: This invention relates to animal traps and in particular single jaw traps which will prevent the caught animal from self injury to its leg.There have been many varieties of animal traps. The most common spring-type traps, upon being tripped will clutch the animal's paw in a strong vice-like grip having the full force of the spring behind it. This type of trap often injures the animal's leg and it causes extreme pain to the trapped beast. Very frequently the trapped animal will gnaw off its own leg in an effort to free itself from the trap, thus resulting in a maimed animal and an inhumane trapping device.

Abstract: This invention comprises a furnace heating device having a fire box and hollow tubing extending longitudinally through the internal portion of said fire box through which a heating medium is circulated to outside radiators. The fire box has an ash drawer extending through the bottom portion of the fire box adjacent to the coiled tubing.

Abstract: This invention is a collapsible two element cubical quad antenna consisting of two separate four member antenna elements. One end portion of each antenna element converges at a vertex and the other end portion of the antenna element describes a square. The axis of the vertex of one antenna element is positioned opposite to the axis of the vertex of the other antenna element. Thus, the end portions of both antenna elements, as positioned, describe a cubical figure. The end portion of both antenna elements serve as support points for antenna wires.

Abstract: This invention is comprised of a transparent deflector shield, means for mounting said transparent shield in the forward portion of a vehicle so as to interrupt the wind currents passing therethrough and deflect them over the windshield of the vehicle.

Abstract: This invention is an improved stationary phase utilized in gas-liquid chromatography, having high thermal stability, producing low noise level in an electrical detecting apparatus, comprising of a silicone polymer with recurring units of the formula: ##STR1##

Abstract: This invention comprises a foldable knife, having replacement blades contained pivotably within a case in one position and extending outwardly therefrom in a second position. Thus the invention is comprised of a case, a rotable blade holder pivotably attached to said case, the blade holder adapted to receive a sharpened blade, a slideable ejector rod positioned in said case, and upon a blade track, adapted to eject the blade from said blade holder when the blade holder is in the outward extended position. This ejection is done by pressing an ejector button attached to said ejector forward with the fingers. A blade lock member is spring biased against the cammed end portion of said blade holder whereby the blade holder is held securely by a cam in its outward extended position.

Abstract: This invention comprises two improved mining methods as such and combined with mining equipments for the mining and rock industries. The first, called the screw-mining-method, comprises benches which rotate around a turning-point area in a downwardly sloping screw shaped path. The benches are positioned radially to the turning-point area which contains a shaft or other transportation means between two points located at different altitudes. The second, called a method with horizontal-radial-rotating benches, operates similarly to the first method except that the benches rotate solely in a horizontal plane rather than in a downwardly sloping path. The method and equipments are adapted for use with material such as rock, ore, coal and any other commercially useful, as well as mineral materials excavated from the earth's crust.

Abstract: This invention is comprised of a thermostatically controlled safety circuit and device used in conventional hot air oil burning furnaces which automatically turns the oil burner off when the temperature of the room heated by the furnace becomes abnormally hot. By so doing an overheated furnace and possible fire is avoided. The invention is comprised of a line voltage or safety thermostat positioned at or near the location of the conventional furnace thermostat. The line voltage thermostat is connected between the limit switch and the control circuit of the furnace control circuit. A variation of the invention is comprised of the line voltage thermostat or safety thermostat connected or ganged with the conventional furnace thermostat so that the line voltage thermostat will be activated at a higher temperature than the conventional thermostat.

Abstract: This invention is an improved stationary phase utilized in gas-liquid chromatograhy, having high thermal stability, producing low noise level in an electrical detecting apparatus, comprising a silicone polymer with recurring units of the formula: ##EQU1## Where X is a whole number from 2 to 200 and n and n' are whole numbers from 2 to 12.
