Abstract:
In combination a vehicle having an extension and an adaptor faceplate. The extension includes a first power-operated extension mount and a second mount. The adaptor faceplate comprising a rigid member securable to skid steer attachments with the rigid member having a front side and a back side with a frame extending from the back side of the rigid member for supporting a first connecting member and a second connecting member thereon with the first connecting member attachable to the first power-operated extension mount and the second connecting member attachable to the second extension mount.

Abstract:
A faceplate having a set of skid steer receiver attachment points to permit an all-purpose agricultural tractor with a three-point hitch or front end loader to operably connect to off-the-shelf skid steer attachments so that the agricultural tractor can utilize off-the-shelf skid steer attachments with the faceplate containing a cylindrical housing to permit rotation of a tool mounted therein without removing the tool from the faceplate and one embodiment including a notched chain bar having notches extending generally normal to the hitch faceplate and a further embodiment including a universal tractor mount.
Abstract:
A beverage container having a thermally insulated handle that reduces the heat transfer between the beverage container and the hand of the person holding the glass is provided. A thermally insulative material is secured to the handle of the beverage container but does not form a bond with the surface of the container. The insulating material is made of one or more layers of insulative material having a closed-cell structure such as closed-cell foam and the like. The beverage containers can include, but are not limited to, beer mugs, soda glasses, or pitchers.
Abstract:
An additive for an electrical contact is selected according to a method wherein the additive has a substantially smaller contact angle with a liquid phase of a ductile metal than the weld inhibiting material has with the liquid phase.
Abstract:
An electrical contact of the type having a working surface and comprising a ductile metal and weld inhibiting material includes a wetting agent present in an amount sufficient to reduce the surface energy between said contact surface and the liquid phase of the ductile metal. Improved wettability of the surface results in reduced arc erosion due to the spattering loss of ductile metal. Also, described is a method for selecting and testing proposed additives.
Abstract:
A faceplate having a set of skid steer receiver attachment points to permit an all-purpose agricultural tractor with a three-point hitch or front end loader to operably connect to off-the-shelf skid steer attachments so that the agricultural tractor can utilize off-the-shelf skid steer attachments with the faceplate containing a cylindrical housing to permit rotation of a tool mounted therein without removing the tool from the faceplate and one embodiment including a notched chain bar having notches extending generally normal to the hitch faceplate and a further embodiment including a universal tractor mount.
Abstract:
A window displacement mechanism comprising a frame, a motor, at least one elongated curved member having a set of threads thereon, and at least one member having a set of threads rotatably mateable with the set of threads on the elongated curved member so that when the member and the elongated curved member are rotated relative to each other one can displace a window carrying extension.
Abstract:
Adapter faceplates that are mountable in an out of the way condition or are removably mounted with the adapter faceplates including a latch member that can be rotated from a latched condition to an unlatched condition.
