Abstract: Wafers are produced by guiding a sheet of bread having friable outer crusts and a relatively soft center through wafer forming apparatus. The apparatus includes a pair of rolls, one of said rolls, i.e., a cutting roll having one or more wafer forming recesses or cavities therein and the other roll being a pressure roll which operates in rolling engagement with the cutting roll. As the sheet of bread is introduced into the nip formed between the two rolls the pressure roll acts to press the bread into the cavity or cavities on the cutting roll and into engagement with the edges of the cavity or cavities to cut wafers from the sheet of bread. Each cavity is configured to have a bottom surface which rises as a gradually tapering wall to a cutting edge which is coterminious with the surface of the cutting roll.

Abstract: Suspension apparatus is disclosed for holding an X-ray film cassette frame. The apparatus includes clamping means attachable to a suitable support and or a series of independently adjustable arms providing a support for the cassette frame. The arms are adapted for adjustment variously in horizontal and vertical planes with reference to the mounting position of the clamping means and cooperate to extend and retract relative to said clamping means. Thus the cassette frame can be moved through included angles of 360.degree. in both the horizontal and vertical planes and can be extended and retracted between the clamping means and a subject to be photographed. In practice with the present invention it is possible to X-ray a wide variety of different areas of a patient while permitting the subject to remain immobile by adjusting the X-ray film in the cassette to accommodate the position of the immobile patient.

Abstract: This invention relates to safety clasp for jewelry such as necklaces, bracelets, earrings, tie tacks, hat pins and the like, and more particularly, to a clasp for jewelry including releasably connected male and female components, generally flat in one dimension. The male component comprises a flat shaped tongue. The female component comprises a tongue guide provided with a groove in which the tongue is slidably mounted. A spring lock release with a tab projecting through a groove for engagement and disengagement with a notch in the tongue. The foregoing elements are housed in a two-part shell fastened together in final assembly.

Each cavity is configured to have a bottom surface which rises as a gradually tapering wall to a cutting edge which is coterminous with the surface of the cutting roll. Continuous production of wafers is possible with the edges of the wafers being sharply defined, free of undesirable crumbling and devoid of fracture lines.

Abstract: Means for lifting and rotating a package ninety degrees in lifted position, in a height limiting environment, rather than a scissor type tong environment.

Abstract: This invention relates to the bases of tentering clips pivotally connected to form an endless tentering chain and specifically to a structure wherein the sprocket rollers and the stress rollers are located upon the same shaft in vertical alignment.

Abstract: This invention relates to a jewelry clasp for securing opposite ends of a necklace chain, and more particularly to a double fold over jewelry clasp providing two sets of interlocking fastening means.

Abstract: A pallet having a platform held in suspension between opposite side supports and provided with opposite end stiffening element spreaders.

Abstract: This invention relates to a jewelry clutch for securing articles together, the clutch including releasably connected male and female components. The male component comprises a pin and the female component comprises a retainer located in a carrier. The carrier is positioned in a housing for releasably clamping the pin. When joined, the pin cannot be separated from the retainer except by depressing the carrier into the housing.

Abstract: A cathode frame for an electro-chemical apparatus, such as an electroplating tank, is provided with a plurality of contactors removably attached to the electrical conductor bar in order to be discarded and readily replaced by another contactor after the plating material "builds-up" on the contactor to a condition where the plating inhibits electrical conductivity.

Abstract: This invention relates to a combined structure of a clasp and tie slide designed for use in removably attaching a clasp to a shirt front, whereby a tie slide, adjustable to accommodate neckties of varying widths, holds the necktie in proper relation to the front of the shirt.

Abstract: A loudspeaker having a totally integrated acoustic system which reduces unwanted cabinet diffraction of the sound waves to minimum; resulting in maximum sound wave dispersion with directional accuracy.

Abstract: This invention relates to gate type tentering clip with pivotally mounted jaw in which the jaw is provided with a new and novel pivoting movement and the method for making the same.

Abstract: This invention relates to heat transfer presses and more particularly to the transferring of a colored picture printed on paper to polyester knit goods by means of heat and pressure. The polyester cloth heat softens while the ink vaporizes and passes through the interstices of the cloth. The cooling of the cloth locks the vapors in the material producing the effect of a dyeing process.

Abstract: The present construction relates to a microphone adjustably mounted to the steering wheel of a motor vehicle.

Abstract: A cathode for an electro-chemical apparatus, such as an electroplating barrel, is provided with a contactor removably attached to the end of the electrical conductor cable in order to be discarded and readily replaced by another contactor after the plating material "builds-up" on the contactor to a condition where the plating inhibits electrical conductivity. The combination of a cathode and a length of insulated electrical conductor cable extending into the electroplating barrel is referred to in the art as a dangler. The subject dangler assembly comprises an insulated conductor cable having one end stripped of insulation.

Abstract: This invention relates to tenter frames and more particularly to a tenter rail provided with a gap crossing mechanism whereby the tenter clip engaging surfaces of the tenter guide rails, at the rail joints, are smooth for the gentle passage of the tenter clips arranged in a chain.
