Abstract: Apparatus and method of attaching a threaded member to the proximal end of a knife tang onto which a securing element is mounted for securing handle pieces about the tang. The head of a prior art screw is flattened and laterally expanded within a complimentary shaped notch extending from an open end into the proximal end of the tang with the threaded end of the screw extending rearwardly therefrom. Once laterally expanded within the notch, the screw is substantially permanently engaged therein.

Abstract: The subject process is directed to a method of attaching rectangularly shaped sheets of rubber roofing material to the upper surface of a roof and comprises affixing a plurality of rubber roof sheets, in a regular pattern, over the upper surface of a roof structure, and affixing over the rubber roof sheets in a grid-like matrix, plates on portions of the perimeter of the rubber roof sheets, fastening adjacent the perimeter edges of such sheets, in a matrix-like manner. In such matrix pattern, plates are spaced from one another in an even manner. The subsequent steps involve affixing the holding plates to seal the plates against the rubber roof sheaths.

Abstract: An air ventilating system for use to ventilate and dehydrate and dehumidify the insulation immediately under the roof structure. The system includes an air intake member, to draw in relatively dry air, generally located above the roof surface, and a central distribution member, in the form of a plenum, disposed above or below the roof structure, and a plurality of radiating pipes that lead from the distribution plenum member, and which are located above, below or at the same level as the insulation layer under the roof structure, with such distribution pipes having a plurality of small openings therein to disperse air to the surrounding insulation layers for purposes of aerating same to remove moisture from the insulation.

Abstract: The invention herein is a roofing fastening device, with an optional liquid sealer to facilitate the process of affixing rectangularly-shaped sheets or rubber roofing material to the upper surface of a roof. Specifically, the invention is a longitudinally disposed fastening member in the general form of a screw or like member which is adapted to be inserted through the upper surface of the rubber roofing sheets and thence through the upper surface of the roof structure, serving thereby to anchor the rubber roofing sheets to the fixed roof structure. The fastening device has a longitudinally extending centrally located chamber which is coaxially aligned with the longitudinal central axis of the fastening member, and this chamber has a plurality of laterally disposed openings which extend from the chamber to the outer surface of the fastening member, said chamber being adapted to receive a liquid sealant at an opening in the upper surface and disperse same through such lateral openings.

Abstract: The subject invention is a water retrieval system for a field irrigation system and comprises a water source, from which water is drawn for the irrigation process, and an intermediate reservoir in which water is stored, a delivery system to the field to be irrigated, with vertically extendable irrigation sprinklers strategically placed in the fields and a return irrigation system. The vertically extendable irrigation sprinkler members are controlled by remote water pressure flow or other automatically actuated means.

Abstract: The invention herein is directed to an improved apparatus used for facilitating the process of securing roof coverings, such as rubber roof sheets to the upper surface of a roof deck, particularly on high-rise buildings. The subject apparatus is adapted to directly and simply weigh down, by its own weight alone, portions of the upper surface area of a roof covering sheet so that the covering sheet cannot be blown up and away from the roof deck. The structure encompassed herein includes an open box-like container, with individual vertically disposed compartments. These latter compartments are adapted to contain cement, stones or other heavy fill so as to cause the filled structure to be heavy enough to weigh down the roof covering.

Abstract: The invention herein is a roofing fastener with integrated swivel means on the upper part to facilitate the process of affixing rectangularly shaped sheets of rubber roofing material to the upper surface of a roof. Specifically, the invention is a longitudinally disposed fastening member in the general form of a screw or nail-like member which is adapted to be inserted through the upper surface of the rubber roofing sheets and thence through the upper surface of the roof structure, serving thereby to anchor the rubber roofing sheets to the fixed roof structure.

Abstract: The invention herein is directed to an improved apparatus used for facilitating the process of affixing rectangularly shaped sheets of rubber roofing material to the upper surface of a roof, in which process a plurality of bonding plates are used to bond the rubber roof sheets to the upper roof surface. The invention relates to an improved integrated bonding plate apparatus used as stated, wherein an adhesive material is deployed on both the upper and lower surfaces respectively of such bonding plate apparatus; and wherein such plate has integrally emeshed between the upper and lower surface both a rubber binder plate and a concentrically disposed metallic plate.

Abstract: The invention herein is directed to a bonding plate used for facilitating the process of affixing rectangularly shaped sheets of rubber roofing material to the upper surface of a roof. The invention related to an integrated bonding plate apparatus serving as a fastening plate and is affixed in a flush manner to the upper rubber roof surface, with fastening means such as nails, screws, or other similar means being used to affix the bonding plate through the rubber roof to the fixed roof structure. The device comprises a flat member having a concentric, centrally located removable insert, which insert has opening means there through to receive one type or size of fastening means, and with the insert removed the bonding plate has another size and type of opening to receive yet another type and size of fastening member.

Abstract: The invention herein is directed to an apparatus used for the facilitating in the process of affixing rectangularly shaped sheets of rubber roofing material to the upper surface of a roof in which rectangularly shaped bonding plates are used to bond the rubber roof sheets to the upper roof surface. The invention relates to an integrated bonding plate apparatus wherein an adhesive material is layered in a flush manner to the upper bonding plate surface, with a layer of plastic or paper covering material attached in a flush manner over the top surface of said adhesive material so that said covering material can be easily removed just immediately prior to the process of installing the bonding plates either over or under the respective rubber roof sheet adjoining bonding plate surfaces.

Abstract: The subject invention is a lawn mower blade hub member adapted for interconnecting a plurality of flexible blades, all affixed and disposed in a radial fashion from the centrally disposed hub member, which hub member is then mounted for concentric rotation on the lawn mower engine drive shaft; and wherein each such blade mounted to the hub member is comprised of a flexible, non-rigid, material. The hub member is a circular, plate-like member which has a plurality of insert openings which are adapted to receive and securely hold the radially inner ends of the respective flexible blade members. Disposed laterally adjacent to and just radially outwardly of the respective insert openings are vertically extending bosses, which bosses are disposed between the respective insert openings, thereby forming between adjacent bosses a channel area to securely hold a portion of the radially inner end of the flexible blade member in a radially outwardly rigid position.

Abstract: At least one but preferably two shorted transmission line antenna sections, ach comprised of a vertical member shorting a horizontal printed circuit transmission line member to a ground plane with the transmission lines being adjustable in length for tuning by utilization of a flexible braid transmission line member connected between the printed circuit transmission line member and a take-up spindle which is adapted to be rotated and accordingly wind or unwind the braid member thereon. The feed point is at the connection of a pair of fixed capacitors, one of which is connected to ground plane while the other is connected to the take-up spindle.
