  • Patent number: 5709648
    Abstract: A back support device employs a torso covering sheet (18) having a plurality of resilient stiffening rods (20), a torso harness consisting a shoulder straps (10), an abdominal strap (12), a breast strap (22), and leg straps (14). The torso harness encompasses the entire back and buttocks of the wearer and its base attaches to the upper leg or thigh. The resilient stiffening rods (20) are placed in sleeves (16) sewn on the long axis of the torso covering sheet (18). When the user bends over the resilient stiffening rods (20) transfer load away from the lower back, and onto the large muscles of the upper leg, thereby relieving stress on the user's back.

  • Patent number: 4110907
    Abstract: A glass cutter having a cutting wheel rotatably mounted at one end thereof. A cutting fluid reservoir is situated within the tool housing at the end remote from the cutting wheel. The cutting wheel is mounted on a support member which is spring biased to provide a constant cutting pressure. A part of the wheel supporting member cooperates with the interior of the housing to form a valve which allows cutting fluid to flow through the wheel when the wheel is displaced against the action of the spring toward the housing during a cutting operation. A wheel cover pivotably mounted to the housing adjacent the cutting wheel has a closed position in which it protects the cutting wheel, and an open position in which the cover acts as a cutting guide.

  • Patent number: 4091068
    Abstract: A hardenable material such as epoxy is placed between a circuit board edge portion and a recessed channel of a keeper member mounted on a base. The epoxy fills the space between the channel walls and the board edge portion and immobilizes the board relative to the base once it hardens. This eliminates the movement of the circuit board relative to the base. Release agent may be coated on the edge of the circuit board and the recessed channel walls of the support base so that when required, the printed circuit board can be readily and non-destructively removed from the base.

  • Patent number: 4030671
    Abstract: Recovery of paper fiber for reuse for waste paper materials containing plastic sheet and film is facilitated by the combination of a pulper in which the waste paper materials are pulped in a pulper equipped with a junk remover connected with the bottom of the pulper tub by a chute and provided with a pump constructed and arranged to maintain the hydrostatic head in the tub at a higher effective level than in the junk remover tower by circulating liquid from the tower back to the tub. The result is to cause transfer of the plastic and other lightweight trash to the junk remover for removal by its conveyor buckets and to prevent accumulation of lightweight trash in the tub to the extent that it interferes with extraction of the defibered paper slurry.
