Abstract: A manually operated, hand-held liquid spraying device which includes a non-pressurized, refillable or non-refillable container, is disclosed. The sprayer is a completely contained device wherein an internal cam in one part of the device which is rotated, causes a displacement of a piston, a part of which is a cam follower. Piston displacement vacates a chamber which is simultaneously charged with liquid. The piston is moved as a result of the cammed motion against a responsor biasing it. The biased responsor generates a hydraulic pressure on the liquid now in the chamber vacated by the piston, since a check valve traps the liquid in the chamber. The liquid is released from the chamber by depressing a push button device, which action uncovers a port in an outlet conduit permitting liquid to flow from the chamber through the conduit and out through a flow connected nozzle in response to the responsor-urged piston moving down through the liquid in the chamber. .Iadd.

Abstract: A safety mount for a trolling motor including a clamp for attachment to the stern of a boat, a hollow mounting block pivotally mounted to the clamp, a detent arrangement disposed within the interior area defined by the block and for normally maintaining the block in abutting relationship with the clamp (the trolling motor being in operative position in the water), and a latch for latching the motor out of the water. The detent arrangement is so constructed that if the motor strikes an underwater object, the block will be pivoted with respect to the clamp and move the motor out of engagement with the object. Once the object is passed, the weight of the motor will move the block back to its normal operating position. The motor may be manually pivoted out of the water, and the block latched so that the motor remains in its inoperative position.

Abstract: Novel alkali aluminum silicate particulates, modified with and containing a chemically bound alkaline earth metal, are disclosed. The alumino silicate pigments contain an alkaline earth metal, preferably calcium or magnesium, in addition to an alkali metal, such as sodium. In chemical composition, the pigments contain oxides of the alkaline earth metal, the alkali metal, aluminum and silicon and are distinguishable from co-precipitates. The pigments are prepared by introducing dilute solutions of an alkali silicate and an aluminum salt of a mineral acid into an agitated aqueous receiving medium containing an alkaline earth salt or hydroxide. The pH of the fluid reaction medium may be controlled to form finely divided precipitated particulates having improved properties and which may be used as pigments in paper, paint, rubber, inks, plastics, and the like.

Abstract: Hard, rounded aggregates are produced by preparing droplets of a slurry consisting of suspending liquid containing distinct particles of a solid and dropping the droplets of the slurry onto a bed of particles under conditions where the suspending liquid of the slurry droplet is removed. This technique is especially desirable for making unique fixed-bed catalysts.

Abstract: An endless-conveyor monitoring switch assembly includes an elongated frame having a shaft journaled for rotation therein and extending longitudinally therealong. A drive wheel is attached to and rotatable with the shaft at a first end of the elongated frame and a detecting switch is attached to the shaft at the opposite end of the elongated frame. A seesaw, U-shaped, mounting member is attached to the elongated frame at a point intermediate the drive wheel and the detecting switch for mounting the elongated frame on an endless-conveyor cable support. The mounting member allows the weight of the elongated frame and its attachments to pivot the frame in a seesaw manner to bring the drive wheel into contact with the endless conveyor. The detecting switch includes a conductive disc mounted on the shaft adjacent to a pendulum having permanent magnets and mercury switches mounted thereon.

Abstract: An exposure system is described employing a lamp and means for controlling the exposure time period during which light from the lamp at a preselected level is passed through a light path to an exposure plane. Light is detected in the light path and the brightness of the lamp is adjusted according to the sensed light to provide the preselected level of light output from the lamp during the exposure period. Also described is a method for operating such a system.

Abstract: A signal amplifier arrangement comprises first and second differential amplifiers coupled in common to a current source which supplies all of the current to the amplifier circuits. Signals to be amplified are coupled between the control electrodes (bases) of the devices in each of the differential circuits by means of voltage follower stages. The main conduction path (collector-emitter) of each of the followers is coupled in series with the main conduction path of the device in the first differential circuit other than the one to the control electrode of which the follower output is coupled. Output signal current is produced in one or more load circuits connected to the second differential circuit, the output signal current being related to the differential input signal voltage but substantially independent of current level induced base-emitter voltage variations in the differential amplifier devices.

Abstract: An electronic ignition control device for determining and maintaining a vehicle at the optimum spark advance for different ranges of crankshaft rotation speeds and ratios of air intake to crankshaft rotation speed. Signals indicating a range in which the instantaneous rotation speed falls and a range in which air intake/speed ratio falls define a ROM address at which is stored an optimum spark advance angle for that combination of ranges. The signal indicating the stored angle is applied to a discriminator which also receives inputs from a crank switch monitor, a throttle switch monitor and a coolant temperature sensor. When cranking or idling is detected, the discriminator substitutes a cranking advance or idling advance angle for the stored optimum advance angle signal.

Abstract: This invention concerns a knitted elastic fold-over edge band for use as edging for example on women's undergarments wherein the edge band would be folded lengthwise and sewn to the edge of the item of apparel, such as a brassiere, panty, etc. Half of the width of the edge band would have a soft surface created by knitting half the band width with a jersey stitch using textured yarn while the other half of the band width would be made with conventional lace construction. The soft half of the band would be adjacent the wearer's skin, thereby providing comfort, while the lace portion would be exposed on the outer surface of the item of apparel, thereby providing a decorative element. The edge band would be sewn to the garment in this manner and beauty would be enhanced since the stitches used for sewing the edge band would be less visible since they would be disguised by the lace design.

Abstract: A trouser construction includes a conventional fly portion formed by a pair of overlapping flaps integral with the waist portion of the trouser and including a conventional slide fastener. In one embodiment a second or imitation fly portion is removably attached to the waist portion in overlying relation with the first or conventional fly portion to simulate the appearance of the trousers being worn with the fly in an open position. The imitation fly portion includes a flexible backing having spaced apart strips that support in a converging arrangement a pair of track elements or rows of teeth. Associated with the track elements is a fly closure device that is maintained in a lowermost position to present the appearance of an open fly where the backing simulates an exposed portion of the garment worn under the trousers. In a second embodiment the imitation fly portion is formed integral with the overlapping flaps of the conventional fly portion.
