Abstract: A safety entry latching arrangement characterized as a pivotal and extendible securing member attached to an existing door hinge assembly secured onto one side of the framework of an entry and selectively connecting to a latch member disposed on the framework at the opposite side of the entry. The securing member is preferably defined by two parts arranged in a slidable telescopic relationship, where spring urged structure serves to maintain the securing member in an outwardly or upwardly extending latching or storage position, respectively. In a typical arrangement, an audible signaling system can be combined with the handle for the securing member to afford additional protection for the user, i.e. to forewarn unwanted entry.

Abstract: A comfort garment particularly characterized as a jogging support for the upper female anatomy which may assume various forms, as (1) a vest which includes the use of a nonelastic front panel and elastic straps attached thereto which combine to restrict upward and downward breast movement, a nonelastic back panel, and an expandable bottom and side panel which permits stretching action during jogging or like activity; (2) a similar form to that of (1) where, however, the entire garment is made from an elastic material and/or where the bottom and side and the back panels are unitary and expandable, or variations of the preceding; and, (3) a continuous wrapped unit serving the same restrictive breast movement functions, but maintained on the torso in halter/strap fashion.

Abstract: An implement coupling arrangement characterized by a plate selectively positionable along an upstanding column onto which an implement connecting sleeve is slidably received, where the aforesaid plate supports a conventional jack for accomplishing vertical adjustment of the implement to a desired hitching height. The jack is arranged for rotation from a use position to a transporting position, where provision is made for maintaining the jack handle at a fixed location during transporting.

Abstract: A sulphur dioxide converter and pollution arrester system which involves the treatment of smoke and/or contaminated air emanating from a combustion area by passage through a zone achieving turbulence into a water spray contained first treating chamber. The turbulence zone, into which an atomized catalyst is introduced, serves to create a longer path for cooling as well as increased centrifugal motion to the solid particles in the contaminated air and also the formation of sulphur trioxide. In other words, the arrangement is such that pollution arresting action is provided in the form of "slinging" resulting from tangential directional movement and, when combining with the water spray in the first treating chamber, the ultimate formation of sulphuric acid.

Abstract: An athletic training arrangement, particularly suitable for martial arts, as karate, characterized as a unitary structure which affords selective physical conditioning in various activities at a single location and for one or more individuals simultaneously.The presented arrangement is in the form of a movable framework collectively mounting, by way of example, training equipment representatively including a "stretch-a-ciser", a vertical striking pad, a speed bag and rebound ring, a horizontal power pad, a target pad, a holder for a heavy bag, and a board holder, all cooperatively arranged as a unit which requires no direct securing or attachment at a selected location.

Abstract: A doctor blade sharpener characterized as automatic equipment utilizing a honing member which travels along the length of a doctor blade secured for sharpening purposes, where movement of the honing member is selectively reversed direction-wise through an air powered control arrangement. A primary feature afforded by the invention is in avoiding injury to the person during the sharpening procedure, in that no direct hand contact is involved for sharpening once the doctor blade has been positioned on the apparatus.

Abstract: A vehicle overload detector characterized as mechanism which, after installation, is calibrated to a preselected initial setting, where upon loading a vehicle, the resulting metered deflection visibly advises the operator of any possible overload condition. Restated otherwise, the mechanism measures vehicle frame deflection, employing two cables, oppositely wound around a control pulley, for establishing the aforesaid initial setting and the deflected setting, respectively.

Abstract: A cap visor defined by upper and lower layers of material having an insert board therebetween in a sealed relationship. A flow mold technique patterns one of the layers of material, as, for example, to simulate stitching. In that the insert board is sealed within the layers of material, any damage, as that from water passing through conventional stitching, is prevented.

Abstract: A cap or topper structure for the bed of a truck characterized by a base or main section and a rear section hingedly connected together at a pivot axis disposed along the upper horizontal surface of the cap or topper. The preceding arrangement serves, when in an operative position, i.e. when the rear section is moved upwardly or angled with respect to the truck bed, to provide ready access to the space on the truck bed covered by the cap or topper.In one invention embodiment, the movable rear section of the cap or topper is hinged closer to the truck cab than in another invention embodiment, the former affording more access to the enclosed space, as by standing on the truck bed, while the latter permits easy access by a user standing on the ground adjacent the truck bed. In either instance, conventional components are employed for elevating and maintaining the movable rear section of the cap or topper at the aforesaid operative position for access purposes.

Abstract: A roof bolt having particular adaptability for use in a mine defined by soft shale formations utilizing an anchor tube and an inner seal tube made from a plastic resin, where the combination of the anchor tube, which may be selectively ribbed, with conventional grouting material affords optimum holding power in the bolt hole. Aside from the preceding, the roof bolt is generally standard in configuration and usage, including a bolt carrying a movable metal wedge which causes the outward spreading of the upper portion of the plastic anchor tube upon rotation of the bolt. The preceding may be used independently of or with a support system employing angled roof bolts which create, through tensioning, a cradling effect especially advantageous in the instance of a fragile mine roof condition.

Abstract: A storage battery characterized by a housing fabricated from a plastic resin and having plastic encased electrical conductors extending from a wall thereof in a manner which eliminates the necessity of having the customary battery terminals on the upper surface of the unit. The preceding relationship eliminates corrosion and shorting, serving for safety by providing a direct contact between the battery plates and a junction box and, at the same time, presenting a weatherproof arrangement.

Abstract: A fence structure wherein the components are fabricated from a plastic resin and where the corner, line or gate posts present positive anchoring with ready installation. The fence structure is versatile in styling and appearance, serving to satisfy both decorative and utilitarian needs.

Abstract: A training device having particular adaptability to the game of golf which serves to selectively control and limit head movement of the student during practice swinging and, therefore, affords proper instruction relative to hip-shoulder and turning movement, balance, timing, effective muscle development and usage and, as well, a reduction in training time. The invention is broadly defined by a selectively removable flexible band surrounding the student's head mounted on an arm extending outwardly from a vertically adjustable support mounted on a base. The latter includes provisions for positive positioning at the training site. The headband, typically made from fabric, is mounted on rotatable metal or wire segments interconnecting loops in the fabric and holes in a mounting plate, where the headband serves to limit or control the position of the trainee's head or indicates to the trainee information as to existing head movement. The overall unit is positioned by a spike and anchor pin arrangement.
