Abstract: A swivel head counter for accurately measuring line in tension, such as a downrigger line passing over a pulley and the pulley driving a compact gear train. The gear train drives a counter wheel or knob so that actual depth or extension of downrigger line or the like may be directly read out. A swivel adjusts to maintain proper positioning of line to pulley.

Abstract: A welding machine for pulsed arc welding provided with a constant voltage source and having at least one transistor included in the welding circuit, and a pluse generator providing adjustable pulse duration and sequence frequency to provide pulsed arc.
Abstract: An article of manufacture including a mounted glass thermometer has been developed which resists breakage of the glass thermometer tube. The thermometer tube is mounted on backing using flexible elastomeric rings which encircle the thermometer tube and two protrusions integral with and extending from said backing in the same plane as the backing.
Abstract: A downrigger UP stop for powered downriggers used primarily in fishing in which a nonconductive link is located in a cable line to the weight, mass or cannonball. A flow of current through the cable, water and boat is sensed by a sensing control circuit and the sensing of water when the circuit is directed to lift the cable functions until the nonconductive link breaks that continuity. The winch then stops and in a selected position by the fisherman. On dropping the weight again into the water, the atuomatic UP stop is in operating control. The UP motion can always be manually stopped by energizing the DOWN button and it can be restarted for automatic ascent.
