Abstract: Licky Finger is a rubber tip finger attachment with small pin holes that is slid over the finger tip for use. The pin holes allow water to soak into a water retaining material located and imbedded in the finger tip pad and allows water to be extracted when needed by applying slight pressure to moisten finger tips. Licky Finger is placed in the accompanying holder for water refill and storage until ready for use. The moisture assist in the handling of paper products.

Abstract: A gas actuated starting rod feed device for use with hand holdable oxygen cutting and/or scarfing torches. The starting rod feed device includes means for gripping and advancing a starting rod. The gripping means is operated in response to the stroke of a piston-like member which is actuated by a pulse of oxygen diverted from the main oxygen stream. The oxygen gas is vented to atmosphere at the end of the piston stroke so that the starting rod feed device is automatically reset and so that there is no pressurized oxygen present during the cutting or scarfing operation in the vicinity of the flame issuing from the torch.

Abstract: An apparatus for taking liquid samples, particularly milk, from containers thereof under substantially sanitary conditions is shown. The apparatus includes an elongated shaft having a handle and a decapping means associated with its upper part and a collar adapted to hold a sample vial extending from its lower part. Attached to an upper part of the shaft are means for removing, retaining and thereafter replacing a sample vial cap upon a sample vial without touching that vial cap. These means include a partial collar and a spring clip extending over that partial collar. The spring clip is adapted to urge the sample vial cap downwardly upon the upper surface of the partial collar and to retain it thereon while the sample vial is sanitized and thereafter filled with a sample of a liquid such as raw milk.
