Abstract: The invention relates to methods of manufacturing gas-discharge electron lamps, and neon tubes in particular. According to the invention, it is proposed, prior to carrying out vacuum treatment of the internal space of an electron lamp (1), to mount at least one of said glass capsules (2) in exhaust tube (5), in close proximity to an exposed electrode in such manner that the opening provided in metal container (4) is facing the working area of the lamp (1).

Abstract: A repair clamp made of heavy-duty plastic material. The repair clamp is used to fix a problem on an anodeless riser. The clamp has two sides and six stainless steel bolts and nuts.

Abstract: A combination wheelchair platform and detachable ramp to allow a person seated in the wheelchair to be at the proper height for an opthalmologic slit lamp examination, or for a standard size dining table. The platform and ramp have raised side members to prevent accidental rolling off.

Abstract: An induction forging coil apparatus which makes induction forge coils easier and faster to change on a forge-line. The coil insert is a separate independent unit by itself which slides into the frame to connect to the frame via bus connections and other components. The coil insert is attached to the frame (another separate independent unit by itself) to complete the overall induction heating coil. The induction coil (with both units attached and operatively interconnected) can run on the forge line until it blows/fails, and instead of pulling the whole induction coil (both units attached) off-line to be rebuilt; the frame can be left on-line (or pulled off-line for a brief period of time if there is not enough room to reach the components due to the particular forge-line setup) to switch the failed insert with a new or rebuilt insert, by disconnecting the failed coil insert from the frame and then reconnecting the frame with the new or rebuilt coil insert.

Abstract: A shock absorbing boat seat pedestal having two telescoping tubes located between a boat seat and a boat base. Within the tubes is a coil spring mounted over a shock absorber.

Abstract: A seat comfort device to make it comfortable for children to ride in cars and/or to use with booster or child safety seats. Both sides of the device are provided with pillows for resting the user's head, and to prevent the child from falling over when the child is asleep.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an integrating sphere for measuring a light-emitting property of a light source, and more particularly, to an integrating sphere having a means for controlling temperature inside the integrating sphere. An integrating sphere for measuring an optical property of a light source according to the present invention has a substantially spherical hollow space formed therein; a first through-hole provided such that a wire for supplying electric power to the light source installed inside the hollow space of the integrating sphere passes therethrough; and a second through-hole provided such that temperature-controlled air is supplied into the hollow space of the integrating sphere therethrough. A light source support, which has one end disposed at the center of the hollow space of the integrating sphere and the other end fixed to an inner peripheral surface so as to hermetically seal the first through-hole of the integrating sphere, is installed within the hollow space.

Abstract: A heat containing hand warming device. The apparatus comprises a generally tubular muff with a hand warming chamber; an adjustable strap from the generally tubular muff; a snap for connecting and disconnecting the strap; auto sizing openings at the ends of the said hand warming chamber; a resealable pocket for belongings; and a resealable heat source chamber; a heat reflective layer encompassing the muff.

Abstract: A plastic spacer/riser to increase useable height of a reclosable fastening system, such as 3M™ Dual Lock™ or Velcro® hook and loop products. The spacer/riser is adapted to be held in place on an external substrate with hot-melt glue, sonic welds, pressure sensitive adhesives, or screws.

Abstract: A printing device, a production unit and a production method of electronic parts suitable for production of precise electronic parts are provided. A squeegee is attached to a rotating machine, and is autorotated and self-driven, and moreover, a printing pressure is generated in the squeegee, and resin is strongly filled, thereby achieving a print having a precision-shape. Further, with a perforated plate as a boundary, upper and lower chambers are provided so as to control a pressure, thereby performing cutting and dispensing of the resin and achieving a print having a precision-shape. This method is applied to the packaging of electronic parts.

Abstract: A stove loading mechanism to assist a person in lifting and moving heavy and/or awkward loads, such as loading logs into an outdoor wood boiler. A fork assembly for holding the log can easily be raised and lowered from the ground and latched at any height by means of a jack mechanism.

Abstract: A multi-purpose, hand-operated tool for use in release of a fifth wheel from a pulling or towing vehicle, for use in release of tandem pins allowing a tandem tire assembly to slide along an undercarriage of a trailer for proper weight distribution of a load, for use as a tire thumper to ensure proper inflation of tires, and for use as a spotter device when backing into visually difficult areas.

Abstract: An apparatus for indicating an ice fishing tip-up strike or mark trails in low light conditions by a flashing light source located on extreme end of apparatus includes a tilt switch to determine whether flag arm is in horizontal or vertical position. A reflective enclosure of the tilt switch/flashing light source is used to protect the electrical connections of conductors, tilt switch and flashing light source. Conductors connect the power source via a jack/socket junction to apply and disconnect power from the flashing light source. The apparatus is attached to a flag arm of existing known fishing devices.
