An improved apparatus and method for uniformly cooking thick layers of food product in a saturated steam environment. A foraminous conveyor belt transports a thick layer of food product into a walled cooking chamber open at its ends. The walls trap pure saturated steam to the exclusion of air in the upper region of the chamber. A pressurized source of cooking energy supplies steam through a network of steam pipes situated just below the level of the belt along its carryway through the upper region of the cooking chamber. The pipes, which span the width of the conveyor belt, include small, restricted openings uniformly distributed along the pipes. The openings form steam outlets. The pipes are oriented with the steam outlets facing the conveyor belt. Saturated steam is emitted through the outlets directed through the foraminous conveyor belt at a velocity great enough to penetrate the thick product layer to cook even the innermost product within the thick layer, thereby improving the uniformity of the cook. The thick product layer slows the steam as it penetrates the layer to prevent the formation of turbulent flow paths that could draw unwanted air into the 212.degree. F. saturated steam cooking region. An S-shaped back-flip in the conveying path repositions the product on the belt to further improve cooking uniformity.

A test socket for testing of semiconductor devices. The socket includes a plurality of electrical contacts mounted within a housing, a cover, and a pressure applicator which serve to prolong test life of the contacts. The pressure applicator is mounted to the cover by use of an elastomeric element which compliantly holds the applicator to the cover. The socket construction, thereby, serves to prevent damage to leads of an integrated circuit device held by the socket.

Apparatus for electrically interconnecting a lead of an integrated circuit device to a terminal spaced at a distance from the lead, such as on a printed circuit board. The apparatus is also useful for interconnecting two printed circuit boards. The apparatus includes a housing which has at least two flanges extending therefrom. The flanges are spaced a distance with an elastomeric element captured thereby and extending therebetween. A conductive contact is mounted on the elastomeric element and thus freely suspended for contact with terminals to be interconnected. A multiplicity of such contacts may be arranged in a suitable pattern for interconnecting specified integrated circuit devices with a printed circuit board. The contact shape can be generally disk-like to provide maximum wiping action and to facilitate air-tight contact between the terminal and interconnect apparatus.

A continuous-tone thermal printer includes a transport mechanism for advancing a print medium past a thermal print head while continuous-tone image information is being printed, line-by-line, on the medium. To increase the rate at which thermal prints are produced, the printer includes asynchronous motor-control apparatus for selectively accelerating the movement of the print medium relative to the print head to quickly locate the print head at the start of a new image line immediately following the printing of that pixel(s) having the highest image density in the preceding image line. Preferably, such motor-control apparatus includes a digital signal processor which determines the maximum pixel density on each line. Upon printing such maximum pixel density, the digital signal processor causes a motor controller to temporarily increase the print medium velocity past the thermal print head to the start of the next image line.

A sling assembly for carrying shoulder-fired weapons, particularly military rifles, in an upright horizontal ready position. A strap portion of the sling assembly extends rearwardly from a sling swivel on the bottom of the butt stock and then extends upwardly along the butt plate on the rear side of the butt stock, where it is retained detachably by a sleeve slidably disposed on the strap. The sleeve includes a portion of a detachable connector to hold the sleeve and strap against the butt plate, the other mating portion of the fastener being located on the butt end of the stock. The sleeve extends high enough relative to the butt stock so that raising the rifle to the user's shoulder separates the parts of the detachable connector, allowing the sleeve and strap portions of the sling assembly to fall clear of the butt end of the stock while the sling remains connected to the weapon by the sling swivel.

A cup-like protective carrying device for holding a pistol reloader of the type which carries a plurality of pistol cartridges arranged to be simultaneously inserted into the several chambers of a revolver cylinder has a generally cylindrical protective shell wall and a closed bottom from which a pair of elongate arms extend upwardly, passing between adjacent ones of the cartridges. A catch on each of the arms includes camming surfaces for engaging a portion of the revolver reloader, resiliently deflecting the arms to permit the catches to ride over the portion of the reloader and thereafter elastically engage the reloader to hold it within the carrier. Provision is made for riveting the carrier to a leather slide loop or a holster belt to carry a charged revolver reloader ready for immediate use.

An apparatus and method is disclosed herein for producing controlled perforations in an adhesive-coated porous web. A porous, woven or nonwoven web backing material has an adhesive, or the like, coated onto a surface thereof, and prior to drying of the adhesive thereon, a gas, or the like, is directed through a gas perforating means, which incorporates a plurality of apertures therein. While said gas perforating means is variably positioned in contiguous proximity to the moving adhesive-coated porous web, the gas stream impinges on the adhesive-coated porous web, resulting in a plurality of discontinuties or perforations being formed in the adhesive-coated porous web. Various predetermined patterns of perforations in the adhesive-coated web may be obtained by oscillating the gas perforating means in different directions, altering the physical dimensions of the apertures located in the gas perforating means, altering the spatial pattern of said openings, rotating the gas perforating means during the operation, and the like.

A magazine latch release mechanism for repeating rifles and the like having a magazine catch carried on an axially movable shaft extending laterally through the receiver of such a weapon is operable by a lever extending downward proximate the rear side of a removable magazine to permit release and removal of the magazine with one hand while the other hand continues to grip the weapon. A sleeve surrounds a portion of the laterally extending shaft within the receiver, part of the sleeve extending outwardly through a receiver wall. The sleeve is pinned to the shaft outside the receiver wall. An end of the latch release lever is pivotably connected to the sleeve within the receiver and the opposite end of the lever extends downwardly from the bottom of the receiver. A fulcrum portion of the lever is located adjacent an interior surface of the receiver, acting to move the sleeve and shaft in a direction opposite that in which the lower end portion of the lever is pressed, to disengage a catch from a removable magazine to release the magazine from the weapon. A cap fits around a portion of the sleeve and shaft exterior of the receiver to limit the extent of axial movement of the shaft.
