Abstract: A paint finishing pad adapted to be used on a drive assembly including a back up pad and a drive motor for rotating the back up pad. The paint finishing pad includes a layer of open cell polymeric foam having a front surface defined by a plurality of spaced projecting portions of the layer of foam, and loops projecting from a rear surface of the layer of foam for releasably attaching the paint finishing pad to a support surface on the back up pad.

Abstract: A thermostatic switch including a bimetallic disc movable between two oppositely dished configurations with a snap action in response to changes in temperature, and a tapered, resilient contactless arm fixedly attached by an anchored end to the perimeter of the disc and having a movable end. The movable end of the arm is moved with the disc between two positions corresponding to the disc configurations. The arm has a relatively low mass and minimal influence on the thermal operating characteristics of the disc. The thermostatic switch also includes a conductive plate with the disc positioned adjacent to the plate and the arm being in direct electrical contact with the plate when in a first arm position for conducting low current therebetween and being out of electrical contact with the plate when in a second arm position.

Abstract: A hand-held, remote reading, liquid level measuring device, also suitable for measuring specific gravity or other parameters of the liquid, containing a supply of gauge liquid which is spill-proof in any position of the measuring device and with the measuring device becoming inoperative upon positions which would give excessive error in liquid level measurement readings. A unique combined pump check valve is also disclosed. A method is disclosed for accurately inserting a tube within the liquid to be measured so as to simulate the level measurement on a conventional dipstick.
