Abstract:
One-piece stud attachments support non-rigid insulation filling the cavities within a wall structure. Each attachment comprises two tongue portions perpendicular to each other. The first tongue portion is screwed or nailed on a wood stud, with the second tongue portion projecting into one of the cavities and penetrating the insulation to support it and prevent slippage thereof downwardly by gravity. The second tongue portion may have spikes, its free end twisted, or a forked free end to hook the insulation. The first tongue portion can also be formed with spikes penetrating the wood of the stud in order to increase the rigidity of fixation. Advantageously, the first tongue portion is made of a strip of metal sheet having its free end half folded over its other half to thereby form a U-shaped, first tongue portion which can be hooked into a hole of a metal stud.
Abstract:
An improved case particularly adapted for the safe and efficient storage and transportation of hats and boots, and in particular western style or cawboy hats and boots, is comprised of a single case preferably having two separate storage compartments, each of which is accessed throguh a separate door. One such compartment is designed to securely hold a hat, particularly a western or cowboy style hat. To achieve this result, a circular insert is provided which receives the top part of the hat thereby holding the hat in a fixed position while a strap, extending horizontally across parallel vertical sides of the box assures that the hat will not be jostled or damaged during transport. The second compartment contains straps along both sides which are intended to be used for securing boots and particularly western or cowboy style boots. Cutouts in an inner plate supporting the two compartments which comprise the case help hold each boot securely in place. On the inside of the door of this second compartment are strips upon which can be attached and detached small storage pouches such as miniature saddle bags.
Abstract:
A motor which operates by mechanically reversing the polarity of a pair of permanent magnets by solenoid means, to alternately attract and repel a pair of similar magnets disposed at the opposite ends of oscillatable rocker arms which through proper timing thereof imparts a rotary motion to a power shaft. Through the use of a multiplicity of rocker arms disposed either in series or parallel arrangements, an increase in output power can be obtained in proportion to the number of magnet pairs used.
