Abstract: A two part depilatory composition in which the first part comprises polyvinyl alcohol and the second part comprises a cross-linking agent which consists of borax and a polyhydroxy alcohol or of Congo red, the first or second or both parts additionally containing a depilatory agent, the two parts containing such proportions of the ingredients specified that when the parts are mixed in such proportions that there is sufficient borax or Congo red to effect cross-linking of the polyvinyl alcohol, the mixed composition contains sufficient depilatory agent to effect depilation in an acceptable period and, when the second part comprises borax, sufficient polyhydroxy alcohol to moderate the rate of cross-linking.

Abstract: An archery bow handle or riser, in which the riser is cut out sufficiently to permit a broad head arrowhead to pass rearwardly of the hand grip section, and upon release of the arrow, to avoid interference with the riser by both the broad head point as well as the vanes at the rear portion of the arrow is disclosed. Provision is made beneath the riser sight window offset to mount an arrow rest, which may interlock into a cutout, and which extends somewhat further offset in order to position the arrow on the centerline of the bow so that it will behave as an arrow fired with a prior-art type bow handle riser, but accommodating a shorter arrow with a broad head, and avoiding the frictional and deflecting contact of the vanes with the riser. Vane deflection may be a problem with any length arrow and any type of arrow head used on a bow without the sight window offset feature as set forth in the present invention.

Abstract: A method for stringing a molded bow limb which at its remote end receives an axle assembly in a preformed axle mount at the end of the bow which includes a recess for receiving an axle cover, a pair of axle covers being provided at either end of the axle and molded with the axle in position. Thus when the axle cover assembly is mounted in the axle assembly mount at the end of the bow, precision of orientation results, no machining is required, and the force of the bow string and/or cable once in place will hold the axle in place. At the opposite end of the bow, a butt slot is provided to engage a bolt or other pin on the limb mount, and a keeper plate engages a recess in the limb mount so that that end of the bow limb is also secured in place and held in place by the force of the strings.

Abstract: A method of making a bow limb which comprises the steps of wrapping impregnated fiberglass strands around a frame to create a fiberglass and resin blank or package. The wet blank or package is then placed in the mold to be shaped and cured. The package has a calculated predetermined number of fiberglass strands, and also a calculated predetermined volume and weight of plastic resin. The mold, has two parts, a male and female. The volume of the mold may be simultaneously thinned and widened in forming the mold in such a manner that the cross-sectional area is constant at any given point. The thickness of the limb can be varied in accordance with the depth of penetration of the male member of the mold into the female. A tail of the excess fiberglass and resin extends from both ends of the mold, and after the formed unit or paddle is first cured and then removed from the mold; these are removed with a saw cut.

Abstract: A combination bracket for securing to a bow. The bracket in a unitary and properly spaced fashion, provides for the mounting of a bow quiver, and also a sight for the archer to use in aiming the bow. More specifically the unit includes a central combination bracket mounting segment from which the sight bracket extends in one direction and the bow quiver bracket extends in another direction. The unit is symmetrical about a horizontal axis. This symmetrical configuration makes the mount suitable for left-hand or right-hand applications. The unit may be produced by injection molding of plastic, machining, or casting by the various known techniques.

Abstract: A bow limb which is totally molded essentially filled with unbroken longitudinal strands of fiberglass oriented in the central configuration in parallel strands, but as approaching the exterior of the bow, the strands conform to the exterior configuration of the limb. The bow limb is also characterized by a substantially constant cross-section even though width and thickness may vary longitudinally. This maintains a constant ratio of resin to fiberglass which is important to insure uniform strength characteristics. If the concentration of resin to fiberglass becomes too great, a brittle or weak point which invites breakage can occur. If the fiberglass to resin ratio is too great, inadequate bonding can result in bending failure.

Abstract: A trailer construction that provides an unobstructed flat bed having opposite side walls and hinged or removable front and rear gates as well as adjusting and retracting keel and chine rollers for converting the flat bed of the utility trailer into a boat trailer.

Abstract: The present invention is concerned with incorporating bis-(chloroalkyl) vinyl phosphonates in polyfluorocarbon coatings to improve the adhesion of such polyfluorocarbon coatings to cutting edges and especially to razor blade cutting edges, said cutting edges having outer surfaces of alumina, silica, tungsten, titanium, or tantalum.
