It was necessary to empty the collator bins before using the printer and the collator for another run of material. With this invention it is possible to more, fully, utilize the printer and the collator for printing and sorting the printed material.

Abstract: This invention is directed to the separation of electromagnetic radiation into a plurality of selective wave length bands or colors. The term color separation, broadly applied, is meant to be the separation of primary and secondary or complementary wave lengths or colors for the purpose of geometric imaging. Such color separation is achieved, substantially, instantaneously, without the loss of wave length energy or color intensity by a novel means of reflection, transmission and color filtration. The separated colors or selective wave length bands can be, substantially, instantaneously, recreated as a geometric image or can be recorded for later recreation as a geometric image such as by photographic or movie films or by tapes; lithographic plates or engravings. Also, the separated colors or selective wave length bands can be used in making printng plates, directly, without using film.

Abstract: This invention is directed for a marker which can be dropped from an airplane so that the pilot of an airplane can see the marker on the ground and know, when he is in the airplane, where the airplane has flown for spraying fertilizer, insecticides, herbicides, and the like. The drop marker comprises two base members and a folded streamer strip of attached at each end to a base member. The drop marker unfolds when falling from the airplane toward the ground. The drop marker, upon reaching the ground and with the streamer strip unfolded, makes it possible for the pilot of the airplane to know where he has sprayed the chemical carried by the airplane.

Abstract: This invention is directed to a new apparatus to assist in the making of negatives. If the negatives are screen separation negatives, then the screen separation negatives can be used in the making of printing plates. For colored prints there are a plurality of screen separation negatives and a plurality of printing plates. With this apparatus it is possible to develop a screen separation negative to realize a predetermined dot structure. As a result, in a plurality of screen separation negatives there is a more uniform dot structure. With a more uniform dot structure in the screen separation negative there is a more uniform dot structure in the printing plate and therefore a more uniform printed color print. The apparatus indicates when the dot structure, viz., opaque area and clear area, on the developing screen separation negative reaches a predetermined standard for dot structure or a predetermined standard of transparency to light.

Abstract: This invention is a locking means for a lever-controlled, swingable glass window, such as an automobile window wing. There is a locking lever for locking the window wing in a closed position. A base member is secured to the window support and in close proximity to the locking lever. A swing member has one end portion pivoted to the base member. One part of a female-male and boss-screw combination is carried by the swing member and the other part thereof by the base member. The swing member is thus adapted to swing on top of, and be locked to, the base member in its retracted position by said boss-screw combination or to be swung into an end to end alignment with the base member to its extended position. A hook member, which includes a U-shaped member having an opening, is pivotally connected to a mid portion of the swing member. The swing member may pass through the opening in the U-shaped member as the swing member turns between its said positions.

Abstract: This invention is directed to a method and an apparatus to heat certain particles. These certain particles are heated to make them more desirable. In the heating of these particles, it is often desirable to expand the particles to make a light-weight aggregate. The light-weight aggregate may be used in making a building material or the like. In carrying out the process of heating these particles, there is used air for combustion of the combustible fuel and only a minimum of air for carrying of the particles or expansion of the particles.

Abstract: This invention is directed to a marker which can be dropped from an aircraft, such as an airplane or a helicopter, so that the pilot of an airplane can see the marker on the ground or on the growing plants and trees, and know, when he is in the aircraft, where the aircraft has flown for spraying fertilizer, insecticides, herbicides and the like. The drop marker comprises a base member which may be unitary or integral. The drop marker upon falling from the aircraft towards the ground is of such a construction that the base member divides in two pieces. The drop marker also comprises a folded streamer strip. One end of the streamer strip is attached to the first piece of the base member and the other end of the streamer strip is attached to the second piece of the base member. The drop marker unfolds upon falling from the aircraft toward the ground.

Abstract: This invention is directed to a fan assembly for use with temperature exchange units and heat exchange units such as a radiator, a heater, an oil cooler, etc. Most automotive vehicles are powered by an internal combustion engine having water, oil and other fluids to be cooled. And, most of the internal combustion engines are associated with a radiator or a heat exchanger unit for cooling fluid in the engine, transmission or other oils and hydraulic fluids. An automotive vehicle operating at a low speed usually requires a fan to assist the radiator or heat exchanger unit in cooling the cooling fluids. However, at higher ram air speed a fan is not normally required to assist the radiator or heat exchanger in cooling the cooling fluids as there is sufficient cooling due to the natural passage of air over the cooling surfaces of the heat exchange units.

Abstract: This invention is directed to a frenum lock, also known as a natural expression former, for use by morticians. It relates to an improvement on two of my patents. I have a patent entitled "NATURAL EXPRESSION FORMER", U.S. Pat. No. 3,103,052, issuing date of Sept. 10, 1963 and a patent entitled "NATURAL EXPRESSION FORMER WITH BITE INDENTATION", U.S. Pat. No. 3,195,215, issuing date of July 20, 1965. The improvement of this invention is the positioning of the dividing lines in the central portion of the natural expression former or the frenum lock. The dividing lines in the central portion of the frenum lock permit wider spreading of the expression forming wing-like portions on insertion of the expression former into the mouth of the corpse or cadaver and permit greater adaptation of the expression former to the dental arch of the corpse or the cadaver.
