Abstract: An accessory mount for a firearm that includes a barrel and a front sight located on the barrel comprises: a first section adapted to engage a first side of the firearm at the front sight and including a boss that extends into and is received in an aperture defined by and through the front sight; a second section adapted to engage a second side of the firearm at the front sight and including a boss that extends into and is received in the aperture defined by and through the front sight; and one or more fasteners that secure the first and second sections to one another; wherein the first and second sections collectively define a substantially cylindrical channel adapted to receive and secure an accessory below the barrel of the firearm.

Abstract: A center fold is produced in a floppy disc envelope by partially folding a pre-cut sheet of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) having two spaced center holes. The center holes are forced over a precision pedestal affixed to a flat support surface. A first fold bar is lowered against the partially folded sheet, flattening first and second sections of the sheet on each side of a fold line against the support surface, producing a fold of controlled radius. A heat lamp is utilized to anneal the fold for a predetermined time, after which the fold bar is raised. A flap extending from the first section of the sheet is folded back against the second section of the sheet by means of an apparatus including a flat support, a precision pedestal for aligning and retaining the partially folded envelope, and a second fold bar having a lip for engaging the edge of the flap.

Abstract: A fishing rod of hollow tubular construction with a side inlet opening for the fishing line adjacent the handle end and a line exit opening adjacent the tip of the rod. Within the tubular rod are located spaced line guides at intervals which are progressively shorter towards the tip of the rod, the line guides being formed of an anti-friction material and so positioned and constructed that when the fishing rod is bent through about 90.degree. the fishing line will not contact the interior surface of the rod.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for uniformly polishing the magnetic recording layer of a floppy disc by producing uniform relative velocities between the magnetic oxide material and the polishing medium across the floppy disc. The floppy disc is placed on a circular resilient pad disposed on a first spindle-mounted circular platen. A circular fibrous or abrasive polishing disc is disposed on a second spindle-mounted circular platen. The radius of the polishing disc is greater than the width of an annular region to be polished on the floppy disc, so that the relative velocities between points of the polishing disc and adjacent points of the floppy disc are uniform. Uniform polishing of the annular region results when the rotating polishing disc contacts the annular region of the rotating disc when the first and second platens are rotated in the same angular direction, at first and second predetermined angular velocities, respectively.

Abstract: A composite molded product comprising a pressure molded and cured product of(a) expanded perlite particles; and(b) a metal-modified urea-melamine-formaldehyde resin; optionally containing an inorganic or organic fiber with or without a filler, and a method for producing the same.

Abstract: A motorcycle trailer comprising two body parts hingedly connected with each part having triangular sides and a rear wall on the upper part. A wheel suspension is secured to the lower part and comprises a pair of leaf springs having a transverse tubular member secured to their lower ends and a pair of shock absorbers between the tubular member and the lower body part. A pair of wheels are mounted on spindles at the ends of the tubular member. A pair of link assemblies hold the upper body part in an open position at an acute angle. A bed comprising two parts hingedly connected is positioned in the lower body part. With the bed in open position the part extending from the lower body part is supported by a pair of U shaped frames pivoted to the underside of that part. A canopy is supported by the partially open upper body part and a collapsible frame. A universal hitch is provided for attaching the trailer to the luggage rack of a motorcycle.
