  • Patent number: 9723823
    Abstract: A fishing line dispenser, the fishing line being wound about a spool having circular walls, and a bore, the dispenser including a base; a “” bracket including a column having front and rear ends, a cylindrical arm having a proximal end rigidly attached to the column's rear end, and having a spindle arm having a proximal end rigidly attached to the column's front end, the spindle arm being fitted for extension into the spool's bore; a pivot joint interconnecting the “” bracket and the base, the pivot joint having first and second halves, first half being positioned at the base's rear end, and the second half including the “” bracket's cylindrical arm; and a concavity positioned within the base for, upon the spindle arm's oppositely lateral extension into the spool's bore and upon downward pivoting of the “” bracket, receiving and frictionally engaging the spool's circular walls.

  • Patent number: 8362783
    Abstract: A method verifies a completeness of an antenna disposed on a window. The antenna is electrically conductive and has a first end and a second end spaced from each other. The method comprises the step of placing the window on a fixture for supporting the window. The method also includes the steps of automatically aligning a distributing probe and the first end of the antenna and automatically aligning a receiving probe and the second end of the antenna. The method further includes the step of activating a current source to pass an electrical current from the distributing probe to the receiving probe through the antenna. The method also includes the step of indicating passage of the electrical current from the antenna to the receiving probe with the indicator to verify a completeness of the antenna.

  • Patent number: 5046949
    Abstract: An articular support system for dental model sets includes a fixture having an upper portion carried by a lower base portion. The base portion has a base plate which connects with an inner support post. This post is formed with a vertically extending inner passageway. The upper portion includes an inner and outer plate connected by a releasable hinge. To use the system a base of a dental model of a person's upper teeth and lower teeth are each molded with front and rear indentations. Each model then fits into a bracket having spaced apart end walls. On an inner side of each end wall is a locking tab that fits into the respective model indentations. The lower teeth model bracket next is affixed to the fixture base plate with mastic. The upper model teeth then are placed in contact with the lower model teeth to reproduce the bit that occurs inthe person's mouth. Next, the upper portion inner plate is loosely positioned in the base portion post passageway.
