The supporting apparatus for the washing machine automatically controls the level of the washing machine by the elastic force of the spring, and reduces noises and vibrations during the operation of the washing machine.

Abstract: An adjustable-height stand that attaches to a device and allows for rough and fine adjustment of the height of the device. The stand has a screw rod, an adjusting mechanism, and a supporting mechanism. The supporting mechanism attaches to the device. The adjusting mechanism is connected to the supporting mechanism and the screw rod and has two states. In the fine adjustment state, the height is adjusted by turning the screw rod. In the rough adjustment state, the contact between the screw rod and the adjusting mechanism can be broken so that the supporting mechanism can slide up and down the length of the screw rod without turning the screw rod.

Abstract: A model airplane starter motor mount for supporting the motor having a slidable glider platform movable on a stationary base to start a model airplane when the propeller spinner is pressed against the rubber clutch bushing on the motor. Roller bearings are positioned between the glider platform and the stationary base for sliding the glider platform. There is an acutuator attached to the stationary base at one end and to the glider platform to flex the actuator on the glider platform, and actuate a switch on the starter motor to start the starter motor.

Abstract: A drive attachment device (10), particularly adapted to receive and transmit drive to the handle (31) of a paint brush (30) comprises a body (11) having a socket (12) for receiving the end of a paint brush, and resilient retaining means in the form of tension springs (17) mounted on pegs (16) to span an opening (18) through which the handle (31) of the paint brush (30) is introduced when being fitted to the device. The tension springs exert sufficient force on the paint brush handle both to retain it in position against axial displacement and to transmit rotation when the body (10) is rotated.

Abstract: A device for moving a long article vertically, while always being held in a horizontal position, regardless of where and in what direction a force is exerted on the long article, and for use in, for example, a paper cutting machine has two actuation levers, each with two sloped end portions that are juxtaposed such that their slopes are opposed to each other. A bedplate is provide with guide members fixed on the two end portions of the bedplate for guiding the actuation levers to slide horizontally in parallel to each other. Drive members attached to the long article are mounted on the guide members and are associated with compression springs for biasing the drive members in an upward direction and to a predetermined height. The drive members are guided by the guide members to slide vertically and against the bias of the spring to abut the sloped end portions of the two actuation members such that the actuation levers are horizontally moved.

Abstract: A hanger for suspending equipment within an existing liquid storage tank includes a longitudinal channel having one end adapted to be fixed adjacent to the upper end of a receiving riser pipe and a second end adapted to project within the tank. A parallel arm assembly is foldable at the second end of the channel and is movable longitudinally in opposition to biasing springs. The arm assembly engages an interior tank surface at opposite sides of the channel to fix the location from which suspended equipment is hung. This isolates the suspension point for the equipment from dimensional changes that might occur in the channel supporting it along the upright riser pipe.

Abstract: An automatic switching mechanism for a model plane starter motor having a clutch bushing for gripping the propeller spinner of the plane includes a base member, a movable member movably mounted to the base member, means for mounting a starter motor to the movable member; means for biasing the movable member to a first position; and switch means for closing the electrical power circuit through the starter motor as the movable member approaches a second position responsive to the engagement of the airplane propeller spinner with the starter motor clutch bushing.

Abstract: Improvements in the air circulatory system, counterbalance system, an integrally contained facial tanning unit and an audio console, all of which form components of an ultra-violet light generating tanning system, are disclosed. The air circulatory system utilizes cooling air intake vents, a series of exit fans and a pair of channeled panels having a plurality of apertures formed therein. A series of air baffles or dams are mounted beneath the panels. The facial tanning unit utilizes a series of separate facial ultraviolet lamps, each operatively connected to a separate ballast. The counterbalance system uses a pair of pivot arms mounted in parallel fashion, an axle coupled to and extending between each of the arms, and a pair of torsion springs, each of which is wound around and offset from opposite ends of the axle. The audio console has a housing shaped to match the contours of the tanning system and utilizes a set of controls positioned in an inverted fashion for greater accessibility.

There is also included fluid operated means for actuating movement of the linkage means whereby the support means may move in a direction spaced from the fixed support.

Abstract: A motor having a motor casing rotatably supporting a motor shaft is mounted in respect to a base so as to permit adjustment of the angular relation of the axis of the motor shaft in respect to the base by providing first and second spaced apart fulcrum-defining abutments extending from the motor casing and engageable with the base along a first straight line which is spaced from the axis of the motor shaft, coil springs urging the fulcrum-defining abutments against the base so that the motor casing and shaft are angularly displaceable about the first straight line in respect to the base, a leaf spring disposed between the motor casing and base and having an angled portion for urging the motor casing and shaft angularly relative to the base in one direction, a pin with a threaded bore extending from the motor casing at a location which is spaced, in a direction opposite to the first straight line, from a second straight line passing through the axis of the motor shaft parallel to the first straight line, and a

Abstract: An alignment mechanism for a paper tape reader in which the motor and drive sprocket assembly is firmly, but not rigidly, affixed to a base plate of the main reader unit by a plurality of compressive spring fasteners. Arcuate slots in a motor mounting base plate, in conjunction with spring-biased retainers projecting through those slots and secured to bosses on a reader base plate, maintain the two base plates in spaced parallel relation and permit limited angular rotation of the motor and drive sprocket assembly, thus facilitating angular adjustment of the motor. A bias spring applies a torsional force to the motor assembly, forcing it against an adjustable screw stop. Adjustment of this screw results in rapid and precise single-step alignment without the often disruptive further step of tightening retention fasteners.
