Abstract: A food slicer includes a frame for supporting a landing and a runway, which is movable relative to the landing. A cutting blade is secured on an upstream end of the landing. A separate cutting knife is moveably connected to the frame. An adjustment mechanism is connected to the frame to adjust an offset between the cutting blade and the runway. The adjustment mechanism includes first and second guide tracks provided on respective first and second movable cam plates, and a gear mechanism for moving the first and second cam plates along a length direction of the food slicer.

Abstract: A base with retractable wheels is provided for an examination, procedure or surgical table or chair for use in the medical, dental, or veterinary fields that can be easily switched between a stationary state and a mobile state. The base includes fixed wheels on one end and on the other end stationary foot pads and retractable wheels that can be engaged by a lift mechanism that can transfer the weight of the table or chair from the foot pads onto the wheels, allowing the table or chair to be more easily moved within a room.

Abstract: A device for dispensing paper towel sheets from a web of sheets arranged in a roll and separated by rows of perforations, the device comprising a base member adapted to support a roll of sheets for rotation about an axis, a first guide bar fixedly carried by the base and extending substantially parallel to the axis and spaced from the axis a distance greater than a maximum radius of the roll of sheets, and a second guide bar extending substantially parallel to the axis and carried by the base for movement, relative to the first guide bar, between a loading position facilitating loading of the roll onto the base and a dispensing position spaced from the first guide bar by a narrow gap through which a leading end of the roll may be freely received.

Abstract: A pair of pliers having a first plier member assembly having a jaw portion, a tension assembly, and a cam assembly and a second plier member assembly having a jaw portion. The pliers further has a jaw portion first pivot point coupling the first plier member assembly to the second plier member assembly and a jaw portion second pivot point coupling the first plier member assembly to the second member assembly. The jaw portion second pivot point located closer to the first member and second member jaw portions than the jaw portion first pivot point.

Abstract: A fuel tank mount for forklift trucks is adapted to hold a fuel tank over the top of a counterweight in a manner that the tank may be easily lifted up and lowered down. The fuel tank mount includes a swing arm replaceably carrying the fuel tank and mounted to the counterweight for swinging movement about a tilted pivot axis between a home position wherein the fuel tank is held over and laterally across the counterweight, a neutral position wherein the fuel tank remains at its highest elevation and a tank changing position wherein the fuel tank is oriented substantially vertically. The pivot axis remains tilted both forwards at a first tilt angle, e.g., 26 degrees, and outboards at a second tilt angle, e.g., 25 degrees, with respect to a vertical axis. A latch is provided to keep the swing arm in the home position against unwanted swinging movement into the neutral and the tank changing positions.

Abstract: Connectors with capacitors or resistors built in are very expensive and a custom design requires a considerable lead time. By building a circuit in modular form so that it connects to a standard cylindrical connector, both the cost and lead time are reduced drastically. Modules containing a variety of frequently used circuitry can be kept in inventory for at-will and immediate association with any standard circular connector, as desired. By having a variety of adapter collars in stock that mate with various kinds and constructions of cylindrical connectors, the suppression modules may be connected to a variety of differently constructed connectors. Many different configurations for the electrical circuitry in the module are possible. Many different configurations of the circuit module and interface collar are possible and can be designed to accommodate almost any connector configuration.
