  • Patent number: 5398773
    Abstract: An access tool for smashing against a door knob of a door is describe and comprises a pair of telescoping cylinders. The outer guiding cylinder includes a side wall concentric of an axis of symmetry. A hoisting handle of U-shaped cross section is attached at one end of the outer cylinder (the hoisting handle including a pair of transverse legs having openings near the termini thereof) using a bolt-nut combination. The bolt includes a bolt shank extending through a pair of diametrically opposed openings in the side wall of the outer cylinder and thence through the openings in the transverse legs of the handle, whereby achieving pivotable attachment of the hoisting handle. The inner cylinder also includes a side wall that differs from that of the outer cylinder in that a stepped end wall is provided in the mid-region thereof. The stepped end wall includes a central opening for receiving an anvil bolt.

  • Patent number: 5170620
    Abstract: An assembly for producing heat/mechanical energy by combustion of sugar includes a combustion chamber and a means for fluidizing sugar. Fluidized sugar is injected into the combustion chamber, optionally in combination with a hydrocarbon fuel and ignited. The combustion gas energy can be recovered as usable mechanical energy using conventional piston crank shaft or turbine asssemblies. Exhaust gases have reduced levels of noxious pollutants relative to exhaust gases from internal combustion engines not burning sugar fuels.

  • Patent number: 4278338
    Abstract: Camera-processor apparatus of the type adapted to record and develop a lengthy roll of strip recording medium includes a heat-processing device which is adapted to concurrently heat-develop all images of a multi-image segment of such medium and to concurrently disengage from heating relation with all images of such a segment. A storage device downstream from the apparatus recording station alternately stores and feeds such multi-image segments to the processing device, thus allowing complete and uniform processing of one multi-image segment in a stationary condition while a subsequent multi-image segment is recorded in a moving condition.
