Abstract: A hand-held pneumatic caulking gun wherein self-contained pneumatic pressure is continuously applied to the caulk driving piston of the gun while the piston is held against movement by this pressure until manually released by a piston movement controlling trigger. The gun further includes a breaking system whereby the rate of movement of the piston, after its release by the trigger, may be selectively regulated. The gun provides that the pneumatic pressure operative to drive the piston forward and toward its caulk driving position may be redirected as required to return the piston to its retracted or initial position. Additionally is included apparatus for manually driving the piston backwards against its driving pressure as required to release piston pressure upon the caulking being dispensed.

Abstract: A hand-held electric caulking gun wherein a caulk-driving piston is forced through the caulk-retaining receptacle of the gun in a manner to force caulking from the gun with considerable force and at a continuous easy-to-control flow. The gun includes a spring type clutch linkage that operates to yieldably disengage the drive source from the piston should the reacting force against the caulk driving end of the piston exceed a predetermined value and a releasing device for allowing the piston to be disengaged of its drive linkage for allowing manual movement of the piston through the gun.

The gun includes a spring type clutch linkage between the motor and piston that operates to yieldably disengage the drive source from the piston should the reacting force against the caulk driving end of the piston exceed a predetermined value and a releasing device for allowing the piston to be disengaged of its drive linkage for allowing manual movement of the piston in either direction through the gun.

Abstract: A resistance disk that is so constructed that as the disk is rotated between a pair of fixed contact members, there is produced between the contacts a varying and random like resistance pattern of a character unobtainable with any other form of resistance apparatus and further including the feature whereby the varying resistance pattern may be selectively altered by radial movement of one of the contact members across the face of the disk.

Abstract: A hand held electric caulking gun wherein a caulk-driving piston is forced through the caulk-retaining receptacle of the gun in a manner to force caulking from the gun with considerable force and at a continuous easy-to-control flow. The gun includes a clutch for drivably interrupting movement between the drive source and piston should the reacting force against the caulk driving end of the piston exceed a predetermined value and a piston release structure for allowing the piston to be disengaged of its drive linkage for allowing manual movement of the piston through the gun.

Abstract: This invention relates generally to garment hangers and particularly to a shoulder and trouser support attachment for use with coat hangers of the conventional bent wire type and that is intended as a throw away device along with the wire hanger after the garments have been removed therefrom.
