  • Patent number: 8492314
    Abstract: The present invention provides a concentrate for dilution with water in the preparation of an agricultural composition for application to crops, soil or animals. The concentrate is recommended for use with agricultural chemicals whose agricultural activity varies with the pH of the water. It comprises an active ingredient and a combination of pH indicators for coloring the water, the pH indicators being selected so as to indicate different colors of spray water at different pH levels. The proportions of active ingredient and pH indicators are selected so that when the concentrate is added to water, the pH indicators indicate visually upper and lower pH limits for optimum activity of the agricultural chemical.

  • Patent number: 5566846
    Abstract: A button enhancement coating system wherein mechanically actuated buttons and vacuum actuated buttons of closures may be provided with a coating system which changes color after the closure has been applied to a container and then removed therefrom with the change in color indicating tampering. The coating system includes a first coating layer applied directly to the upper surface of the button and a second coating layer of a different color applied in overlying and bonded relation to the first coating layer. The second coating layer is preferably transparent and the two colors are selected so that they produce a third color while the coating layers are bonded together. When the two coating layers become separated during the removal of the closure from a container, the button assumes the color of the second coating layer. The first coating layer may have an embossed upper surface including ribs and grooves with the second coating layer flowed thereinto.

  • Patent number: 4991701
    Abstract: A tripping torque setting mechanism of an overload clutch having an adjusting nut threadedly engageable with a thread provided on a cylindrical part of a clutch hub, the adjusting nut being tightened against a spring to produce an urging force corresponding to a predetermined tripping torque. A helical line having a pitch coinciding with the pitch of said thread and indicia for indicating the angular positions is provided on one of the adjusting nut or a member which does not rotate relative to the nut, and an indicator is provided on the other. The axially adjacent portions of the helical line are indicated by different colors and the indicia for indicating the angular positions are indicated by the same color as the portion of the helical line to which the indicia correspond.

  • Patent number: 4552088
    Abstract: A slope-measuring device is calibrated in terms of the gear in which a multi-gear apparatus should be engaged for negotiating the slope. For example, in a multi-gear bicycle, the calibration may indicate the gear range and specific gear in a bicycle. In a motor vehicle, the slope measurement may indicate the vehicle gear which should be engaged. In order to prevent oscillation of the indication, a high viscosity fluid is employed in connection with a rotating shaft to substantially reduce the response frequency of the indication.

  • Patent number: 4323234
    Abstract: A jump and reach physical training system is disclosed for measuring vertical height attained by a person jumping vertically from a standing position. A board is included, having visually perceptible full size scale with equally spaced increments thereon. The board includes appropriate mounting devices that allow it to be attached to a support above the floor surface and within standing reach of the jumper. The jumper stands flat on the floor and extends her arms upwardly to reach a maximum height on the board. The maximum reached height is indicated by the increment covered by the fingertips. Such increment is recorded on a held calculator. The individual then jumps upwardly in an effort to cover the board at the highest increment possible. The attendant observed this and notes the increment adjacent the high point of the jumper's reach. A corresponding increment is noted on the calculator which then provides a direct reading in terms of standard linear measurement.
