Abstract: A method for manufacturing cold-forged wing nuts is to have a column linear material rolled and compressed into lots of column material units connected continuously and then receiving the steps of shearing, flattening, compressing and trimming, punching, wing forming and threading, able to produce wing nuts with quickness and with less waste material, and also having standardized specifications and high strength as well as property of corrosion resistance. Besides, one more step of forming insert grooves is added between the step of flattening and the step of compressing and trimming, so that the column with wings material unit can be formed with insert grooves, and after finishing the steps of punching, wing forming and threading, a nylon or metallic sheet is inserted in the insert groove and fixedly riveted to produce a wing nut able to prevent loosening under a low or high temperature.

Abstract: A semiconductor waste gas processing device comprises a flame path through a waste gas combustion chamber, a head section on a top of the waste gas combustion chamber, and a waste gases outlet. The flame path comprises at least one layer of fuel spray ring; each fuel spray ring having a respective fuel room formed in the head section and being connected to a fuel source line for supplying fuel gas; a secondary flame ring of each fuel spray ring having a plurality of secondary flame apertures; a tapered flame jet which is communicable with the waste gas combustion chamber being formed in a lower end of the flame path and an igniter being installed in the flame path.

Abstract: A latch mechanism for a storm door including a nose and a handle operably connected to a spindle that is operatively connected to an exterior handle. The handle and nose are rotatably secured to a linker that is secured to the spindle. The handle includes a cam that, upon rotation, presses against the upper portion of the nose. This causes the nose to rotate on the linker and retracts the front of the nose away from the catch on the interior wall or door jamb.

Abstract: A process for the preparation of derivatives of halo-but-2-enoic acids and esters high in 2-ene content, several of which are novel. The esters and their derivatives are useful as promoters for the polymerization of ethylene or the copolymerization of ethylene with &agr;-olefins and, optionally, nonconjugated polyenes. The promoters can also be combined with transition metal compounds, e.g., vanadium, to form combination promoter-catalyst compounds.

Abstract: A polyolefin elastomer possessing a unique combination of properties, i.e., high molecular weight (Mw), high Mooney viscosity (ML1+4 at 125° C.), low polydispersity index (Mw/Mn) and low glass transition temperature (Tg), is obtained by a polymerization process employing a particular type of a metallocene catalyst. The polyolefin elastomer is useful for manufacturing a variety of products including rubber articles such as hoses, belts and moldings, polymer blends containing one or more other hydrocarbon polymers and lubricating oils in which the elastomer functions as a viscosity modifier. Also disclosed is a cocatalyst for activating the metallocene procatalyst employing a specific molar ratio of the components of the cocatalyst to the transition metal of the procatalyst.

Abstract: A process for the preparation of derivatives of halo-but-2-enoic acids and esters high in 2-ene content, several of which are novel. The esters and their derivatives are useful as promoters for the polymerization of ethylene or the copolymerization of ethylene with .alpha.-olefins and, optionally, nonconjugated polyenes. The promoters can also be combined with transition metal compounds, e.g., vanadium, to form combination promoter-catalyst compounds.
