A locking device for securing measuring instruments in the slots and parts for communicating fluid to the measuring instrument are provided by this invention.

Abstract: This invention relates to apparatus and methods for filling a conventional Bourdon tube with an outgassed fluid to permit use of the Bourdon tube to measure fluid pressures at high temperatures. The filling device includes a hot reservoir containing hydraulic fluid that has been heated to facilitate outgassing and a cold reservoir in fluid communication with the hot reservoir to prevent exposure of the fluid in the hot reservoir to oxygen. A vacuum line connected to the cold reservoir permits evacuation of the filling apparatus, the Bourdon tube and a typical bellows that may be attached to the Bourdon tube. The bellows is mechanically compressed and provided with a center post to reduce the volume of the bellows by about fifty percent. After the Bourdon tube, the bellows and the hydraulic fluid in the hot reservoir have been heated and outgassed, the vacuum is removed from the cold reservoir to permit hydraulic fluid to flow from the hot reservoir into the bellows and Bourdon tube.

The window is provided with balance foot and lower sash guide structure to permit pivoting of the sash about the lower edge thereof and support of the sash by a sash balance if desired. The balance foot and lower sash guide structure includes a separate balance foot member constructed to be connected to a sash balance in a jamb of the frame and a separate sash guide member pivotally engaged with the balance foot member and secured to a sash stile at the lower end thereof.

Abstract: A portion control liquid dispenser comprising a conductive metal liner forming the inner surface of a container or tank, an intermediate layer of insulation and an outer shell. The inner tank surface is cooled by a thermoeletric heat pump. A removable liquid container is placed within the tank so that its walls make contact with the cooled inner liner. The container is open at the top for liquid fill and venting and is coupled at its lower end to a molded element comprising a dispensing tube combination cap. The elongated dispensing tube extends downwardly within a locating structure and houses a plunger having a conical lower portion which normally blocks an aperture in the lower end of the tube. A solenoid coil is mounted about the downwardly extending tube and is activated by a selected manual switch to dispense a particular amount of liquid.

Abstract: A thermal break window including a rectangular outer frame portion, a rectangular inner frame portion and an insulating member positioned between the inner and outer frame portions and cooperable therewith for rigidly securing the frame portions together into a prime window frame without contact between the inner and outer frame portions. The window structure further includes an inner window sash and an outer window sash slidably positioned in the prime window frame and a sash coupler extending between the inner and outer window sash for automatically connecting the window sash together for movement together on relative movement of the sash in one direction to place the movable sash in predetermined alignment, which sash coupler is manually disengageable to permit relative movement of the movable sash in the opposite direction out of the predetermined alignment.

Abstract: This invention involves a vending machine having helix discharge units used to store and dispense packaged objects such as ship products, etc. The unit preferably utilizes a rotatable helix dispensing spindle having an adjustable rod within the convolutions of the helix which can be pivoted from horizontal to vertical to vary the size of the merchandise storage compartments in the helix to accommodate different size packages. The size of the compartments is determined by the position of the rod, the compartment being largest when the rod is vertical and smallest when it is horizontal.

Abstract: This invention involves a vending machine having helix discharge units which are used to store and dispense packaged objects such as chip products, candy, mints, chewing gum, candy bars, cigarettes, cigars, etc. The unit preferably utilizes a rotatable helix dispensing spindle having a pivotally adjustable panel within the convolutions of the helix which can be moved from horizontal to vertical to change the size of the compartment to accommodate different size packages. The size of the compartment is determined by the position of the panel with the compartment being largest when the panel is vertical and smallest when it is horizontal.

Abstract: This invention involves a vending machine having helix discharge units. The units are used to store and dispense packaged objects such as chip products, candy, mints, chewing gum, candy bars, cigarettes, cigars, etc. The unit preferably utilizes a rotatable helix dispensing spindle having a central divider within the convolutions of the helix which divides the helix into separate side-by-side compartments and is expansible to vary the size of the compartments to accommodate different size packages.

Abstract: This invention involves a vending machine having helix discharge units in which the rearmost convolution of the helix is retained by a clip and held off the floor of the unit to reduce friction and prevent excessive side-to-side movement of the rear of the helix. The units are used to store and dispense packaged objects such as chip products, candy, mints, chewing gum, candy bars, cigarettes, cigars, etc. The unit preferably utilizes a rotatable helix dispensing spindle having a central divider within the convolutions of the helix which can be adjusted by rotation from horizontal to vertical and which divides the helix into separate side-by-side compartments which can be varied in any size to accommodate different size packages. The size of the compartments is determined by the position of the center divider, the two compartments being largest when the divider is vertical and smallest when it is horizontal.
