Abstract: An adjustable volume dispenser comprises a barrel assembly having an internally threaded tubular portion, an adjustable stop formed with external threads engaged with the internal threaded tubular portion of said assembly, and a sleeve coaxially mounted within the tubular portion and rotatable therein, said sleeve being connected to the adjustable stop for imparting rotation thereto but allowing said stop to move axially thereon. A finger engageable wheel connects to the sleeve for rotating the adjustable stop relative to the barrel assembly, a plurality of numbered wheels being coaxially connected to the finger engageable wheel for indicating the position of the stop and the volume of liquid to be dispensed. A plunger assembly is provided including a rod reciprocally removeable within the barrel assembly, said rod extending coaxially through the adjustable stop, the sleeve and said wheels.

Abstract: A vortexer apparatus having a hold down plate detachably mounted to an upright cylindrical support, said support having a pair of splines formed thereon, the end of one spline being spaced from the near end of the other spline by a circumferential groove, said hold down plate being supported from an elongate sleeve axially engageable with said support, and having a key engageable with said pair of splines. A torque arm is provided for selectively locating the cylindrical support and hold down plate relative to a base and an agitated platform.
