Abstract: The present invention discloses a frame member having an offset handle upon which line can be stored. The handle has a hole therein through which the line can be passed in order to properly secure the device to the line. Furthermore, the device has hooks on each end of the line for hoisting an article or attaching the line to an article of clothing. In use, the device can be used to attach one end to a person's clothing and attach the other end of the line to an article, such as a backpack, to be hoisted up a tree such as a hunter might hoist an article up a tree stand. Furthermore, the present invention is adapted so that the handle can be attached to a structural member of a tree stand or the like.

Abstract: A multiple speed motor includes first and second speed windings connected to first and second power terminals and a start winding connected to a common power terminal. A Triac connects one speed winding to power and has a gate. Either the first or second power terminal is connected to one side of a power supply and the third or common terminal is connected to the second side of the power supply. The gate is connected to the start winding. A speed responsive switch has first and second contacts connected to first and second power terminals and third connected to a common node the connection between the start winding and the gate.

Abstract: An X-ray goniometer is provided which comprises, a pair of wooden endplates held in a parallel, adjustably spaced relationship by a plurality of connecting dowel rods, a rotatable support mounted to each endplate, each support being rotatable about a common axis perpendicular to the endplates, for supporting each end of the specimen, and means to position the supports in any given angular orientation about the axis. Means may be included to adjust the spacing between endplates and between each support and the axis.

Abstract: A novel test device particularly adaptable for simultaneously applying bending and torsion loads to whole bone specimens is provided, which comprises a substantially rigid support frame, first and second supports pivotally mounted to the frame for supporting the specimen therebetween, transverse loading (bending) means supported by the frame intermediate the supports for applying loads to the specimen at predetermined locations therealong, a torsion loading means supported on the frame for applying torque to said specimen by rotation of the second support, and force sensing means for measuring the bending and torsion loads and providing an output signal proportional thereto.

Abstract: An AC induction motor has a two-pole run winding connected directly to power, a four-pole run winding connected to power by a "Triac" switch, and a separate start winding connected to power by a "Triac" switch and a centrifugal start switch. The centrifugal switch is connected between a common node to the start "Triac" and either one or the other of the power terminals. The motor always starts as a two-pole start and two-pole run winding motor. Depending upon the power terminal connection, the motor continues to run with power supplied to the two-pole run winding, or actuate the "Triac" switch of the four-pole winding to operate as a four-pole motor. In different embodiments, the centrifugal switch is connected between the start circuit terminal and either the power terminal of the four-pole winding or of the two-pole winding.

Abstract: An AC split-phase induction motor has a two-pole run winding, a four-pole run winding and a separate start or phase winding. The two-pole winding is connected directly to a corresponding first power terminal. The second run winding is connected to a second power terminal by a solid state gated run switch having a turn-on gate. The start winding is connected in circuit in series with a solid state gated start switch connected to the first power terminal and having a gate connected to a second power terminal. A centrifugal switch connects the first and second power terminals. The gate of the run switch is connected to the start winding circuit and includes connecting Diac and resistance elements to actuate the run switch only in response to a power connection to the second power terminal and the opening of the centrifugal switch. In operation, the motor always starts with the two-pole run winding and the start winding in the circuit. At switching speed, the start switch disconnects the start winding.

Abstract: This load-break fuse equipment comprises two draw-out fuse assemblies, one of the load-break type and one of the non-load-break type, each removably mounted in its own individual receptacle. The load-break fuse assembly and its receptacle comprise a load-break switch and a fuse electrically connected in series with each other. The non-load-break fuse assembly comprises a fuse, and this fuse is electrically connected in parallel with the fuse of the load-break fuse assembly and in series with said load-break switch.
