Abstract: A two part coaxial cable connector includes a rear nut housing a ferrule for gripping the sheath of a coaxial cable and a front nut body for gripping the conductor upon threaded engagement of the rear and front nut bodies. A mandrel, located within and protected by the rear nut body, slides within the sheath upon feeding of the cable into the rear nut body. A pair of annular inclined surfaces or ramps compress the ferrule at opposed edges to squeeze the ferrule into gripping engagement with the sheath. Simultaneously, a collet in the front nut body is compressed to grip the conductor. To facilitate the feeding of a seamed or off round sheath, the ferrule, mandrel and associated parts float within the rear nut body. A positive visually apparent physical interference between the rear and front nut bodies prevents overtighting and resulting damage.

Abstract: Apparatus for dewatering sludge comprising a primary dewatering section in which the sludge is supported on a filter means sloped downwardly towards the center, and a secondary dewatering section which follows the primary dewatering section and through which the sludge is carried on a non-filtering support which is sloped downwardly towards the side, and means for applying pressure onto the top side of the sludge layer during passage through the primary and secondary dewatering sections.

Abstract: There is provided a method of improving the properties of polyester monofilaments in respect to loop strength and resistance to fibrillation. The process contemplates treating an undrawn substantially noncrystalline extensible spun linear polyethylene terephthalate monofilament with a vapor medium such as steam and, while the monofilament is exposed to such vapor, drawing the monofilament at a draw ratio of from 1.5:1 to 4:1 and further drawing the monofilament in a subsequent drawing operation to an aggregate draw ratio of from 4:1 to 10:1.The process enables development of the maximum or a desired loop strength value for the particular monofilament being processed with optimization of specific drawing conditions such as the steam pressure within the indicated draw ratios. Thus, drawn monofilaments having loop strength values of at least 2.5 grams/denier are provided, and the drawn products are particularly useful as reinforcing elements in rubber bodies, e.g. tire cords.

Abstract: A clip apparatus having an integral display member is disclosed herein. The integral display member includes a display section, arm section and tab section. The arm section is folded upon the display section and retained by the tab section. A biased clip member is secured to the arm section.

Abstract: A portable, hand operated dispenser for spraying fluid composition under pressure wherein a fluid composition to be sprayed is contained in a fluid impervious flexible bag housed within the container and the content material is forced from the bag by continuous pressure operating on the outside of the bag from an available source.

Abstract: A foldable trailer having a frame formed of a pair of side frame members pivoted at their forward ends for movement in the direction toward and away from each other between folded and unfolded positions respectively, a tail gate pivoted at one end to one of the side frame members with means for securing the other end to the other of the side frame members when in unfolded position, a mid cross bar member pivoted to the other of the side frame members and means for securing the other end of the mid cross bar to the opposite side member when in unfolded position, wing members pivotally mounted on the forward end portions of the side frame members for movement between folded and unfolded positions with means for latching the wing members in unfolded position, a wheel supporting axle subdivided into sections for collapse and means for securing the sections when in unfolded position to extend crosswise of the side frame members, and a floor panel adapted to be supported on the frame when in unfolded position.
