  • Change in length of drill string while instrument remains therein
    Patent number: 4153120
    Abstract: A hole in the earth is formed utilizing a drill string containing an instrument connected by a flexible conductive line to a unit at the surface of the earth. During intervals when the length of the drill string is being changed, as by addition of another pipe section to the outer end of the string, the connection between the flexible line and the surface unit is temporarily broken, so that the instrument and line can be left in the drill string while the section is added and for ultimate reconnection to the surface unit through the added section. A portion of the flexible line may be wound about an element in the string, to be unwound therefrom each time that the string is lengthened, to thereby correspondingly increase the effective length of the line.

  • Magnetic quadrapole antenna
    Patent number: 4148036
    Abstract: 1. The combination comprising a pair of magnetic dipole antennae of substantially equal radiation strength in proximate but offset relation and oriented with their axes extending in a common direction, and an oscillating current source operatively connected to both of said antennae to drive them simultaneously but in opposed phase relationship, whereby the dipole moments of said antennae substantially cancel one another so that the antennae function together to produce a magnetic quadrapole radiation substantially free of any dipole movement.

  • Straight line abrading tool with balancing counterweight
    Patent number: 4145847
    Abstract: A portable abrading tool having a shoe mounted for straight line reciprocating movement relative to a body, and driven by a reciprocating piston in the body through two spaced gear units, with a counterweight being driven by those gear units to reciprocate essentially with the piston and oppositely from the shoe, and with the counterweight desirably having two enlarged end portions and an intermediate reduced width portion carrying oppositely facing toothed racks engaging the two gear units respectively. The counterweight is desirably confined vertically between the body of the tool and the reciprocating shoe, and is slidably located within recesses in the under surface of the body.

  • Rotary abrading tool
    Patent number: 4145848
    Abstract: A portable abrading tool with a rotary backing unit for carrying a disc of abrading material, with abraded particles being drawn through a passage or passages in the backing unit into a shroud carried at a rear side of that unit, and with the backing unit carrying a circular rib at its rear side projecting rearwardly within a peripheral edge portion of the shroud in axially overlapping relation to define a shoulder blocking centrifugally induced radially outward movement of abraded particles toward the edge portion of the shroud.

  • Change in length of drill string containing an instrument
    Patent number: 4143721
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus are provided for enabling an instrument and a connected flexible line contained in a drill string to be left in the string while a pipe section is being added to or removed from the string, to thereby avoid the inconvenience and loss of time normally involved in removing the instrument and flexible line from the string on each such occasion. This result is preferably accomplished by initially threading the flexible line at the surface of the earth through a series of extra pipe sections positioned at a storage location adjacent the well, so that each of these sections can then be successively moved from that location to a position of connection into the upper end of the drill string with the flexible line already installed in the added section.

  • Direction responsive flux gate unit
    Patent number: 4139950
    Abstract: A flux gate unit for producing an output representing the directional orientation of the unit with respect to the horizontal component of the earth's magnetic field, and in which a saturable flux gate magnetic core structure is mounted for leveling movement relative to associated flux gate coil means, in a manner enabling maintenance of the core structure substantially continuously in level condition while avoiding the necessity for leveling movement of the flux gate coils, and thereby avoiding the necessity for connection of electrical leads to a movable part.

  • Fertilizer and insecticide applicator
    Patent number: 4134349
    Abstract: A portable applicator for applying a dry fertilizer and/or insecticide material onto the surface of the earth adjacent a plant, and including an elongated essentially tubular body structure carrying at its upper end a container of the dry material andcontaining a passage through which the material flows downwardly to a bottom outlet under the control of a rotary valve element which is preferably actuated by a handle part serving the dual purposes of assisting in holding and manipulating the overall tool and also actuating the valve element when the handle grip is turned about its axis. The lower end of the body has fingers capable of cultivating the earth's surface for working the deposited dry material a short distance into that surface.

  • Retention of abrasive sheet material on an abrading tool
    Patent number: 4091576
    Abstract: A sanding tool having a power driven shoe carrying a sheet of abrading material which is adhesively secured to the underside of the shoe and then extends upwardly at its forward end and then rearwardly at the top of the shoe to a position of retention of an end portion of the sheet between a spring urged clamping element and an opposed surface. The clamping element is urged toward that surface with a very light yielding force which remains the same during insertion of the sheet material as during an abrading operation, and which is light enough to enable the sheet to be pushed manually rearwardly between the clamping element and opposed surface against the frictional resistance offered thereby.

  • Application of siding, shingles or shakes to a wall structure
    Patent number: 4089141
    Abstract: Siding boards, shingles, shakes, or the like are applied to the wall of a building by use of a tool having an arm which extends upwardly adjacent the wall structure and is temporarily secured thereto, with the siding or the like then being placed at the outer side of the tool arm, and being supported at a predetermined level by a projection extending outwardly from a lower portion of the arm, so that the siding can then be nailed to the wall structure and the tool can ultimately be withdrawn from its position of reception between the siding and wall structure for use in similarly positioning and securing a next successive layer of siding, shingles, etc. to the structure. Preferably, two such tools are employed at horizontally spaced locations for supporting the siding or the like therebetween.

The inhaler is activated by puncturing the end of the capsule nearer to the wick and then pinching the outer sheath at the location of the capsule in order to squirt the liquid into the air chamber prior to being absorbed by the wick. The empty capsule is then discarded.
