Abstract: A can holder worn by a person comprising a can holding member having a rigid back plate and rigid support arms extending from the back plate to form a gap between the support arms of sufficient distance to allow a can's sidewalls to pass between the arms. The support arms have opposing notches sized to receive a can handle attachment members and where the notches are positioned to permit the can to pivot about the can handle attachment members; and a belt suspension member attachable to one end to a belt and pivotally attachable at its end opposite the back plate.

Abstract: The present invention provides a permanent magnet type of synchronous a.c. motor embodying an improved form of no-back by which the motor upon being energized is caused to start from rest invariably in the predetermined direction of rotation.Furthermore, the motor is capable of satisfactory operation in a wider range of angular positions of the motor shaft than prior motors, and it is inherently more sensitive to initiate the direction of rotation correctly than devices of the prior art.

Abstract: The invention provides a quiet, reliable and quick acting "no-back" action for synchronous motors utilizing permanent magnet rotors which have minimum power in self-starting and are prone to be erratic in direction of starting. This fallibility arises at least in part from the expense and difficulty of working to the accuracy which would be required to make the motor less uncertain in starting.
