Abstract:
A caster brake and latch assembly consisting of a treadle pivotable about the axis of the caster wheel to pivot an L-shaped brake element into braking engagement with the caster wheel periphery. A pawl pivotally mounted on the caster horn is pivoted with the brake element to engage between the teeth of a latch member secured to the caster pintle. The pawl and latch engagement latches the horn to the pintle to prevent relative rotation therebetween.
Abstract:
The following specification describes a plastic casing for a bicycle speedometer flexible shaft in which the casing ends are cold formed to provide shoulders. The shoulders are engaged by an internal shoulder of a respective nut for attaching the casing to the speedometer and drive unit, respectively, and the nuts each have a rearwardly extending tubular portion for supporting the casing.
Abstract:
Apparatus and methods for analyzing substance in a rotatable body whereby vibrations caused by the body rotating with a known amount of weight applied thereto are compared with the rotations of the body rotating without the known amount of weight. Vibration signals storage means enable the signals to be applied to a meter as desired and adjustment means for the meter are provided so that the meter may be calibrated for direct readout of the amount of unbalance.
Abstract:
The following specification describes a lamp socket insulator having integrally formed cantilever extension walls for supporting a lamp electrically connected to a pair of wedge type electrical receptacles carried by the socket with a lamp housing engaged with the insulator in turn encircling and supporting the extension walls.
Abstract:
The following specification describes a metal sheath enclosing a high-pressure flexible hose with the sheath arranged in interlocked spiral turns spaced from the hose and axially movable relative to the hose.
Abstract:
A substantially rectilinear tank for the storage of cryogenic fluids or the like wherein corrugated baffle plates are oriented with respect to each other and to the sideplates of the tank to provide maximum support both for the pressures built up when the container is in use and the pressures exerted on the structure during fabricating processes.
