  • Patent number: 4959980
    Abstract: A storage drum security apparatus (10) is provided to secure the apertures (24,26) on a storage drum or barrel (12). The apparatus (10) includes a large aperture subassembly (14) and a small aperture subassembly (16) which are interconnected by a securing bar subassembly (18). The first bung member (28) is provided with a post member (40) which extends upward through an isolator member (56) to engage a post receiving hole (98) formed in a flattened portion (92) of the securing bar (90) while the second bung member (66) includes a ball portion (80) on a neck (78) which mates with ball receiving structure (102) in the tubular portion (94) of the securing bar (90). This relationship prevents access to turn either of the bung members (28,66) while the securing bar (90) is in place. The securing bar (90) is also adapted to be used as a wrench to turn both the bung members (28,66 ) when desired.

  • Patent number: 4712044
    Abstract: An array of indicator lamps is mounted on the rear of an automobile for signaling turns. When a turn is signaled, the lamps turn on in sequence, thereby creating the impression of motion in the desired direction. Each lamp is coupled to a battery via an associatd relay switch. A control circuit closes the relay switches in sequence, thereby turning on the lamps in sequence. The control circuit includes a set of flip-flops, each relay switch closing in response to an associated one of the flip-flops, which change state in response to a clock signal.
