Abstract: The chain saw handle apparatus provides for removable attachment to a chain saw handle wherein the elongate arm of the apparatus is disposed above or lateral to the center of gravity of the chain saw and the lower section of the apparatus attached medially to the chain saw handle. The apparatus provides needed leverage for starting and operating the chain saw while reducing fatigue typically experienced in the operation thereof.

Abstract: An educational and entertaining toy vehicle that includes a body member that is designed for including a mechanical music box. The music box is designed so it is coupled via a ratchet clutch and gears to at least one vehicle wheel. The forward rotation of such wheels drives the music box. Reversing the vehicle winds a spring. This spring drives the music box and vehicle forward on release. The release of said spring is controlled by a speed regulator. The toy vehicle of this invention includes rubber like material on the surfaces of the wheels with debossed numerals, letters or symbols. These replaceable rubber like tires provide increased friction and a means for printing such debossed characters when the vehicle is moved. The toy vehicle is further enhanced by including a toy figure that is representative of the included tune.

Abstract: The invention comprises a toilet seat that forms a hollow inside chamber that runs within the toilet seat. The bottom surface of the toilet seat also forms a plurality of linear, elongated louvers to allow a sweeping motion of air across the underside surface of the toilet seat and into the hollow inside chamber. These openings are oriented to establish a horizontal movement of the air inside the perimeter of the toilet seat to minimize the escape of odors from the toilet bowl. The toilet seat also forms a rear opening that a fan that withdraws air from the hollow inside chamber. The exhaust air passes through an odor adsorbing chamber adsorbing odors. The air is then expelled into the room back and downward, away from the user. Alternatively, the exhaust is channeled ventilation piping in the structure to be exhausted to the outside.

Abstract: Disclosed is a game timer for restricting turn times and for timing turns of multiple players of a game. A number of players is entered into the game timer by a user. For each player, a game time and a turn time are entered by the user. For each player in sequence, the game timer executes a turn by decreasing the game time and turn time by one second increments starting when a start/stop button is pressed and ending when the game time or turn time for the player is decreased to zero or when the start/stop button is pressed again. Turns for each player are repeated until each players' game time is depleted. A global game time and a global turn time may be entered and stored for all players' game and turn times for easy setup of the game timer. The global game time and the global turn time may be modified, as necessary, for each player after the global times are entered.

Abstract: An article useful for the conditioning of clothes in an automatic laundry dryer during the drying cycle is produced which comprises a flexible polyurethane foam substrate impregnated with an effective amount of a conditioning agent and which has on at least one surface thereof a pattern which is substantially totally removed from the substrate during the drying cycle thereby indicating to the consumer or user of the article that the conditioning agent has been substantially completely removed from the article during the course of the drying cycle.

Abstract: A substrateless dryer-added fabric conditioning product is produced which comprises a fabric conditioning amount of a fabric conditioning agent in tablet form.

Abstract: A process for regenerating an alkylation catalyst comprising fluorosulfuric acid, said catalyst being at least partially deactivated, which comprises:(1) contacting at least a portion of the fluorosulfuric acid with water to form an acid-water mixture, thereby converting at least a portion of the fluorosulfuric acid therein to hydrogen fluoride and sulfuric acid;(2) removing at least a portion of the hydrogen fluoride from said acid-water mixture formed in step (1) by contacting same with a stripping agent to form a gaseous phase containing hydrogen fluoride and said stripping agent and a liquid phase containing sulfuric acid and sludge;(3) cooling the gas phase formed in step (2) to a temperature sufficient to form a mixed phase comprising at least a liquid phase containing hydrogen fluoride; and(4) treating the mixed phase formed in step (3) with sulfur trioxide under substantially liquid phase conditions so as to regenerate the fluorosulfuric acid.
