  • Patent number: 4731896
    Abstract: A toothbrush having two arms pivotally jointed with cleansing means at the other extremities of both arms. The jointed section comprises several methods for manipulating and indexing the arms relative to each other to permit brushing in various parts of the mouth. The jointed section is composed of bifurcated bridging members for one arm, and an accommodating bar at the other arm disposed to lie between the bridging members. The bridging members and bar are pivotally held together by a control pin which can be manipulated to permit one arm to move relative to the other. The bar and bridging members may be frictionally in contact with each other or can be connected thru gearing and socket devices each disposed to function through special control pins for causing the engagement and disengagement of the said gear and socket devices. Simple finger manipulation of the controlling pin causes selective indexing of the toothbrush arms relative to each other.

  • Patent number: 4535617
    Abstract: A stamping machine composed of a frame supporting a movable carriage having thereon a reciprocal operative punch and die for punching holes in material controllably fed to the die. The carriage movement is controlled by an eccentric mechanism within the confines of two barrier walls which limit the traverse of the carriage. The material is held firm by a clamp during the punching process and released for movement to permit the punch to pull the material a distance equal to the pitch of the stamping cycle, to await the next cycle of stamping.

  • Patent number: 4516707
    Abstract: A portable container for supporting and displaying fishing plugs and lures in a well organized manner consisting of a housing having a partially removed section for viewing, a telescopic cover for said housing split into two sections hinged together along a single intermediate edge which telescopally slides into the housing, the upper section having a transparent window and is capable of being folded over when the cover at the hinged part reaches the upper extremity of the housing. The bottom section slides back down over the housing while the upper section resides without the housing to form an angular support for the housing. There are securing members at the lower extremities of both the housing and telescopic cover to secure their parts while in transit.

  • Patent number: 4480400
    Abstract: A bouncing toy having a base supported by four springs-attached balls to give the base a bounce while maintaining stability. Central to the base is another spring attached ball having a cylindrical upright member mounted thereon. Within the cylindrical member are a series of radially extending pegs arrayed spirally to form a helix. Mounted to the base and surrounding the cylindral member is a hollow shaft including a rotatable wheel mounted thereon, the wheel having a helix-structured shaft connected thereto which is disposed to engage the radially extending pegs. Movements of the central ball causes the pegs and shaft to engage resulting in rotation of the shaft and attached wheel. The up and down movement of the toy causes the wheel to rotate in opposite directions until the toy comes to a complete stop. Audio devices are arrayed in proximity to each of the supporting balls so that the movements of the balls creates an environment which actuates the audio devices rendering various tones as the toy bounces.

  • Patent number: 4432217
    Abstract: A system for color printing and processing multiple yarn fibers by mechanized means in response to programmed signals derived from a computer control devise indicative of fabrics having select patterns or designs. The system includes data gathering implements including a sample pattern to be duplicated for producing a program for color printing. The computer receives the data and processes it to produce signals indicative of the color program. A control device receives the signals from the computer and initiates control voltages for driving a color printer which color prints yarns passing therethrough in accordance with the program. The colored printed yarns are processed through fixing apparatus to fix the colors and thereafter separated into individual yarn fibers and stored for immediate or future use in looms, weaving machines and the like.
