Abstract: A keyswitch device has a good operational feeling in a keytop and is easily and simply assembled. When the keyswitch device is assembled, the engaging pins 55, 56 of the hinge member 47 and the engaging rod 61 of the hinge member 48 are slid on the holder plate 65 toward the open sides of the sliding slots 68, 69 in the holding portions 66, 67 while being guided through the guiding walls 73 . Further, the engaging pins 55, 56 and the engaging rod 61 are slid until the engaging rod 61 rides over the stopper 69A formed in the sliding slot 69. When the guide support member 46 and the keytop 41 are connected with each other, after the engaging rod 53 of the hinge member 47 is opposed to the vertical slot 44 of the keytop 41 and the engaging pins 63, 64 of the hinge member 48 are opposed to the long slot 45 of the keytop 41, the keytop 41 is slightly pressed downwardly.

Abstract: A closed granular chemical handling system comprising a dispensing valve and a receiving valve. The dispensing valve and the receiving valve are automatically opened when the valves are coupled together, and are automatically closed when the valves are uncoupled from one another. The valves are configured so that the receiving valve always is the first to open and the last to close. The valves are driven together by a camming structure having a neutral portion that acts as a delay between the opening and closing of both valves so as to allow granular material to flow from between the valves through the receiving valve.

Abstract: This invention discloses a shower curtain rod attachment which prevents water from spraying or splashing out of a shower enclosure while showering. The shower curtain rod attachment supports the leading edge of the shower curtain such that the shower curtain is parallel to the front surface of the shower enclosure. The arm of the shower curtain rod attachment attaches to the front of the shower enclosure with a hook, a clip, a suction cup, or other suitable device when the shower is in use. After showering, the arm is detached from the shower enclosure wall and allowed to rotate downward. The shower curtain can then be slid along the curtain rod to open the shower enclosure. A slit in the tube of the shower curtain rod attachment allows the device to be installed over an existing curtain rod without the need of removing the curtain rod. No tools or special skills are needed.

Abstract: A mount or stand-off device is disclosed herein constituting load carriers interposed between a load carrying rack and the longitudinal slats affixed to the roof of a motor vehicle.
