Abstract: A front caster device for facilitating directing an infant stroller which comprises a bracket for mounting an axle along a transverse axis for rotatably mounting a ground supporting wheel thereto having a socket having an inner flange and a bushing adapted to be rotatably fitted and engaged in the socket by means of at least a flexible detent extending outwardly and upwardly from periphery of the bushing which is attached to a distal end of a front leg of an infant stroller.

Abstract: A succession of wood workpieces is displaced by a conveyor past a plurality of finishing stations with the grain of the workpieces extending perpendicular to the transport direction. An abrasive surface of a finishing tool is displaced over the workpiece parallel to the grain direction at a peripheral speed equal to about 150 times the advance speed of the workpieces. These workpieces are wood chair seats formed with a surface depression and the abrasive surface is a sanding belt spanned over a vertically displaceable soft drum or cushion. The soft support for the sanding belt is displaced vertically by a cam arrangement to conform the path of travel of the sanding surface to the workpiece. The sanding region of one station is staggered transversely to the transport direction with respect to the other stations.

Abstract: This invention relates to a device useful in making circular shapes of predetermined size on power sanding machines and the like. The device is essentially a fixture which enables a workpiece to be located on an adjustable center so that it can be rotated with respect to a driven sanding disc, polishing wheel, or similar abrasive tools. The device also permits an oversize workpiece to be fed into the sanding disc until the predetermined radius is reached.
