Abstract: A polymeric inventory control collar locking ring for securing an inventory control collar around the cylindrical neck of a storage container comprising a circular disc with a central opening sized to fit around the neck of the storage container and a plurality of inwardly disposed flexible tabs spaced equally around the perimeter of the central opening. The tabs are formed integrally with the disc and extend radially inward into the central opening, having a distance of projection sufficient to engage the neck of said storage container.

Abstract: A dry pressure gauge with a circular spring interconnecting the operational movement end of the Bourdon tube sensor and the driven mechanism that includes added mass to dampen frequencies above a desired design level. The added mass takes the form of added weight on the gauge needle in the form of a circle of material, weights on opposite sides of the needle from the pivot center, or a single mass weight on the needle below the pivot center. Circular spring to mechanism interconnect slotting is included, normally biased to an end limit by a bias spring in the driven mechanism, to allow below connecting spring force movement between the sensor and the driven motion translator to reduce friction.
