Abstract: A bearing assembly comprised of a first race member (11), a second race member (12), a plurality of ball bearings (13) therebetween, and a keeper member (14) around the second race member and formed to embrace the outer portion of the second race member and to overlay the first race member to prevent the separation of the race members but leaving a clearance (15) between the keeper member and first race member to permit free rotative movement of one race member relative to the other.

Abstract: A means for adjusting an electrical value within inaccessible electrical circuitry is disclosed including a proximity stimulus means acting upon and within the vicinity of a proximity stimulus response means to produce a response which is converted into an electrical signal by a transducing means. The number of electrical signals produced are accumulated and placed into the appropriate electronic form to adjust the electrical value. The magnitude of the adjustable electrical value and its adjustment may be monitored on an optional monitoring means.

Abstract: A hydrostatic steering unit is presented with axial spool valve actuation, and a gerotor set with valving in the rotor side face. The gerotor set comprises an orbiting gerotor displacement device with rotor valving, and with an input drive system directly to the gerotor device without driving through the valving, and also with an axially movable valve with a torsion member between the orbiting gerotor member and the input shaft.

Abstract: A heelholder for a safety ski binding which is manually adjustable from an open condition to a closed condition, including a soleholder, a first locking member biased in a forward direction, an actuating member mounted on the soleholder for engaging the first locking member to releasably hold the soleholder in the closed position, a second locking member for releasably locking the adjusting member in engagement with the first locking member when the soleholder is in the closed position, a manual release mechanism, and an interposed member located between the manual release mechanism and the second locking member for enabling movement of the soleholder from the open condition to closed condition and the locking by the second locking member of the adjusting member in engagement with the first locking member upon actuation of the manual release mechanism during movement of the soleholder from the open to the closed condition.

Abstract: Our invention is an improved process for removing gases and elements from a melt of molten ferrous metal; the process includes bubbling carbon dioxide through the melt, flushing the carbon dioxide from the melt with an inert gas and deoxidizing the melt with a metal chosen from the group of aluminum, magnesium, barium, calcium, zirconium or titanium.

Abstract: A heel grip for a rotary ski binding having a lever pivotally mounted on a rotary plate for rotation between skiing and braking positions, a pair of brake wings mounted on the lever to move with the lever between skiing and braking positions and being rotatable on the lever between positions inboard and outboard of the ski, and a spring wire connecting member having an intermediate portion connected to a pedal and free end portions connected to the brake wings, the pedal engaging the connecting member between its intermediate and free end portions to deform the connecting member and rotate the wings to their inboard position as the pedal is moved to its skiing position and the latter action being reversed to move the wings to their outboard position as the pedal is moved out of the skiing position.

Abstract: A magnetic release system of a safety ski binding having a permanent magnet, a release mechanism, a core disposed between the magnet and release mechanism in which a temporary magnetic field may be induced, an electromagnet coil associated with the core for cancelling or diminishing the magnetic field induced in the core by the magnet, and a spring biasing the release mechanism from a non-actuating to an actuating position.

Abstract: A heelholder for a safety ski binding comprising a base member, a carriage mounted on the base member for movement in a direction transverse to the longitudinal direction of the ski on which the binding mounted, a retaining spring biasing the carriage to a central, normal position, a pair of cheeks pivotally mounted on the carriage and carrying a heel-releasing mechanism, and a locking mechanism for releasing the cheeks to open the binding when the carriage moves beyond a predetermined distance in the transverse direction.

Abstract: A mower housing having a plurality of chambers (11 and 12) so proportioned in capacity, and cutting blades (13 and 14) therein, so proportioned in capacity that one chamber and blade can handle and advance the grass clippings blown with air from the other chamber and blade as well as the grass clippings blown with air produced in that one chamber. The housing having means (25) for controlling and directing the flow of grass cuttings discharged from the housing and means (26) for collecting in increments in the form of tufts or bunches and the ejecting of such increments by the mower blade.

Abstract: A building heat collection, storage and exchange system adapted for use with a solar collector, and featuring a specially designed heat storage tank. The closed system contains both liquid and gas, and is provided with drain reservoirs so that when heat is not being absorbed, the solar collector is drained, and the gas replaces the liquid in the collector. By the use of liquid intake and dispersal devices which eliminate turbulence, the heat storage tank maintains stable temperature zones. The most efficient extraction of stored heat is thus promoted.

Abstract: This invention discloses a mounting piece for the shift lever (22) on relatively small tractors. A shift ball (21) molded onto the shift lever (22) is inserted into a molded single piece unitary construction bell housing (20) and the bell housing attached to the transmission housing (23).
