Abstract: Supports for marine electronic equipment in accordance with the present invention include an open frame to which are fastened a pivotable back and linkage making it possible to mount the back to a bulkhead or transom in a water craft. Arms extending from the back carry the item or items of equipment and the arms fold against the back when the equipment is removed and the support is folded shut for storage.Another form of portable support for marine electronic equipment in accordance with the invention includes an open rectangular frame with supports removably mounted to the frame, such supports being pivotable and adjustable on the frame.

Abstract: An explosion-proof, pollution-free infrared dryer for concentrated vaporization and removal of combustible solvent from a newly coated product, such as a newly printed web of paper, having a pair of opposing infrared radiant heater or burner sources each contained within a combustion chamber having a radiation transmissive wall confronting the infrared source.A drying tunnel for surrounding and passing the newly coated product or web therethrough is located in the ambient room air space between the infrared sources. The drying tunnel preferably is made of radiation transmissive panels to permit irradiation by the infrared source upon the web while yet containing and concentrating the vaporized combustible solvent.A combustion inhibiting atmosphere (CIA) flows through the drying tunnel.

Abstract: An ear wax removing device comprised of a hollow curette connected to a source of circulating warm fluid and movably mounted in forwardly and gently biased relation for longitudinal movement upon a mounting plate which is designed to rest against the side of the patient's head and carries an adjustable abutment which limits the depth of insertion of the curette into the patient's ear.

Abstract: A radiant heater is provided with a fuel-fired radiant housed in a combustion chamber having a wall with a radiation-transmissive panel. A plenum adjacent the combustion chamber is provided with air under pressure greater than that in the combustion chamber. Air from the plenum is employed as primary combustion air for the fuel-fired radiant, and air from the plenum also is caused to flow cocurrently into the combustion chamber and to provide adjacent the inner surface of the radiation-transmissive panel a constantly replenished pool or cushion of cool air cooling the panel and providing a buffer layer to prevent impingement of hot combustion product gases thereon. The orientation of the heater within a space to be heated may be varied within limits without adversely affecting its operation, and the heater may be made of small size.
