Abstract: A hot and cold water faucet having a concave base and hot and cold water outlets in the base which, following the concave curvature, are positioned forwardly of a rearwardly located inlet into the faucet, and thus the water connections from opposite directions to the faucet inlet converge at an angle rather than head-to-head and this contributes to better mixing into a luke warm temperature of the water flowing into the faucet.

Abstract: A racket having strings strung across the head portion of the frame in which the strings have threaded end portions for engagement with correspondingly threaded nuts. Additionally, the threaded portion of the string can extend the entire length of the string so as to provide the string with a surface that imparts more spin to the ball. The surface of the strings is also provided with markings. When the string is tensioned in the frame through turning of the nuts, the distance between markings is increased due to elongation of the string. This elongation can be translated into a particular increase in tension by use of a suitably calibrated scale.

Abstract: A framing device which includes a plurality of adjustable arms to tension the frame by pressing against the inner surfaces at each of the corner points and with each arm also being adjustable about a transverse plane.

Abstract: A framing device which includes a plurality of diametrically opposite adjustable arms to tension the frame by pressing against the inner surfaces of the corner joints.
