  • Patent number: 5357818
    Abstract: An adapter for manual attachment and removal of a flanged motor on a power driven appliance. A bracket attaches to the appliance and cooperatively receives the motor flange. Pins incorporating clips or expanding projections then secure the motor to the appliance. A shaft-to-shaft connector is then secured by similar pins, thus coupling the motor output shaft and appliance power input shaft. For belt driven appliances, the motor output shaft terminates in a pulley, or is coupled to a shaft having a pulley and attached to the appliance. Optionally, a belt tensioning pulley is included.

  • Patent number: 4453809
    Abstract: A separately packaged film sound editor mixer is disclosed which includes a plurality of low level audio signal input terminals adapted for connection to outputs from playback heads of a synchronizer. Magnetic tape preamplifiers are included for preamplification of the low level signals. The preamplified signals are connected through slide attenuators and muting switches to inputs of a first summing amplifier. The output from the first summing amplifier is connected to inputs of left and right channel summing amplifiers through a tone control circuit and a master attenuator of the slide type. A selector switch is included in the input for one of said magnetic tape preamplifiers whereby, in one switch position, an output from the synchronizer is supplied to the preamplifier, as mentioned above.
