Abstract: A dampening fluid evaporator for a lithographic printing press which incorporates an elongated transflow blower which is mounted to be driven by a roller in the inking system. The blower is formed by a plurality of impeller segments mounted end to end.

Abstract: A dampening fluid evaporator for a lithographic printing press incorporating a blower housing having an elongated inlet passage positioned to extend along substantially the entire length of a distributor roller. A transflow blower mounted in the blower housing draws air through the elongated intake passage along substantially the entire length of the roller while delivering a diffused stream of air which impinges against the roller for evaporating excess dampening fluid.

Abstract: A small animal harness for picking up and carrying about a small animal comprises a main body portion that is adapted to essentially wrap around, or under, the trunk of a small animal. The harness includes straps that fasten together essentially across the back of the small animal, and a front strap that passes across the lower neck/upper chest area of the animal to retain the harness in functional position. A handle is affixed to the strap(s) in the area of the animal's back to enable the animal to be manually picked up and carried about. The handle is rigid so that the lifting forces from the handle to the main body portion are distributed evenly across the entire width of the main body portion in order to provide even support along the lower side of the trunk of the animal. The small animal harness is quickly and easily fitted onto and removed from the animal by the use of buckles, snaps or hook end loop type fasteners on the back straps.
