Abstract:
The following specification describes an assembly for delivering a predetermined amount of engine starting aid fluid to an engine by means of a passageway through a solenoid armature placed in communication with the valve of a starting aid can on energization of the solenoid coil to communicate the starting aid to a chamber of known volume. On deenergization the armature drives the fluid in the chamber through the passageway to the engine and the fluid is maintained separate from the electrical circuitry without the use of moving seals.
Abstract:
A balancing method and apparatus by which a direct readout of the amount of unbalance is provided in order than an operator can determine from a meter reading how much weight to add to an unbalanced body and where to position it. Apparatus for weighing the rotatable workpiece is included as an integral part of the unbalance detecting mechanism with means for attenuating the readout meter signal in accordance with the body weight so that the meter will give an accurate indication of the amount of unbalance in weight times rotational radius units when the body is rotated at a predetermined proportion of the resonant speed of the system.
Abstract:
The following specification describes a panel lamp indicator assembly retainer in which a plastic lamp lens has rearwardly extending integrally formed legs on which radial steps are formed at respective distances from the bezel end contacting the panel front face to enable snap fitting in panels of different thickness irrespective of variations in nominal panel thickness.
Abstract:
The following specification describes a two-wheel caster in which the junctions between parts are camouflaged for improved appearance. Both wheels have a blind hole and are press fit on bushings. The bushings are rotatably secured on the respective end of a common shaft located between the two wheels by means of a respective C-ring engaged in a shaft groove. The shaft is cantilever supported in a radial wall between the wheels with the wall having a peripheral arcuate hood wall formed integral therewith and overlapping a large portion of the wheel periphery. The pintle stem is rotatably secured by means of a C-ring engaged in a stem groove in a boss having a blind hole or recess extending into the radial wall.
Abstract:
The following specification describes a self-closing cabinet hinge having a spring-biased plastic cam follower that is camouflaged by one of the hinge leaves and also by the door to which the other leaf is fixed.
Abstract:
THE FOLLOWING SPECIFICATION DESCRIBES A PULL IN WHICH A BAIL IS PIVOTALLY SUPPORTED BY TWO SPACED POSTS INTEGRALLY FORMED ON A COMMON BACKPLATE WITH EACH POST HAVING CONCEALED TANGS FORMED THEREIN TO PREVENT DISASSEMBLY OF THE BAIL.
Abstract:
A fixture having an adjustable light source unit for aligning the optical scanners of a facsimile scanner assembly, and having a revolvable stud member with a longitudinal flat and a lengthwise metal shim relative to which the printer contact means of the scanner assembly may be adjusted.
Abstract:
A facsimile device including a two speed drive mechanism for driving the recording medium. The mechanism includes a reversible motor and a gearing means to drive the medium at one speed in a forward direction when the motor is operated in one direction and at a different speed in the forward direction when the motor is operated in the opposite direction.
Abstract:
AN IMPROVED DISPLAY SYSTEM IN WHICH A TRAVELING MESSAGE IS SMOOTHLY DISPLAYED ON A FIXED MATRIX IN ACCORDANCE WITH INPUT DATA WHICH IS RECEIVED AT ABRUPTLY VARYING RATES. A CIRCUIT IS PROVIDED FOR CAUSING THE MESSAGE TO CONTINUE TRAVELING FOR A PREDETERMINED TIME INTERVAL AFTER THE CHARACTER CORRESPONDING TO THE LAST RECEIVED INPUT DATA HAS BEEN FORMED ON THE DISPLAY MATRIX.
Abstract:
THE BOTTOM OF A CARD FILE DRAWER CARRIES A U-SHAPED TRACK WHICH RECEIVES THE BASE OF THE CARD FOLLOWER ALLOWING THE CARD FOLLOWER TO SLIDE THEREIN. THE TRACK INCLUDES A SERIES OF UPSTRUCK, INCLINED DETENTS. A DEPENDING TAB FROM THE FOLLOWER BASE CONTACTS THE UPSTRUCK DETENTS SO AS TO READILY SLIDE OVER THE INCLINED SURFACES IN ONE DIRECTION BUT IS FULLY RESTRAINED IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION.
