Abstract: A valving arrangement primarily designed and intended for use in a negative pressure ventilator system. The valve arrangement has a uniquely designed valve that enables the ventilator to perform a number of operations simply by manipulation of a single, one-piece valve member within a valve housing. The valve housing has multiple inlets and outlets and the valve member can be rotated within it to present a variety of pressure cycles to the patient. In the preferred manner of operation, the present invention selectively applies negative and positive pressures to the patient during different portions of the cycle. In this regard, the valve member is structured so that negative and positive pressures are never at the same time delivered to the patient. The valve arrangement is compact and lightweight. It is also functionally superior to prior designs that can only supply whatever pressure is being created by the blower.

Abstract: This invention comprehends a spinning style fishing reel having a housing with a drag assembly that is actuated by a clutchwheel mounted on a shaft for rotating a gear carried by the shaft. The gear meshes with and rotates a second gear which has an axially facing cam surface engaging with a matching cam surface carried by a member that does not rotate relative to the housing. Turning the clutchwheel rotates the cam surfaces relative to each other to increase or decrease the drag force applied uniformly on the spool.

Abstract: This invention comprehends a spinning style fishing reel having a drag assembly that is actuated by a star drag wheel mounted on a common axis with a crank lever. A slide drag actuator of the drag assembly engages with a drag plate and is moved by the star drag wheel to increase or decrease the pressure applied by the drag plate on the line spool.

The gear meshes with and rotates a second gear which has an axially facing cam surface engaging with a matching cam surface carried by a member that does not rotate relative to the housing. Turning the thumbwheel rotates the cam surfaces relative to each other to increase or decrease the drag force applied uniformly on the spool.

Abstract: A lamp having a treated lense for reducing peripheral glare thereby making the lamp useful as a driving light, fog light or spotlight. The treated lense is provided with opaque pigment around the periphery of the lense and the center portion thereof to form elliptical shaped aperture for more acutely defining the desired beam pattern.
