A barbeque grill with paper start facility comprising an open top receptacle defining a floor that includes one or more draft openings of adjustable size, a tinder receiver, that receives the paper, in association with the receptacle at its central axis and in alignment with the draft openings, a charcoal support grid and means for removably mounting same in the receptacle over the receptacle floor and above and adjacent the upper end of the tinder receiver, a charcoal receiver in the form of an open ended sleeve of impervious sheet metal material that includes a pair of oppositely located handles adjacent its upper end, which charcoal receiver is proportioned to be disposed in substantially congruent relation with the tinder receiver and on the charcoal support grid above the tinder receiver, and a food cooking grid and means for removably mounting same in the receptacle above the charcoal grid after the charcoal is ignited by igniting the tinder. In a preferred embodiment the tinder receiver is in the form of a bowl that is discrete with respect to the receptacle and removably supported thereby for removal and dumping therefrom of ash formed by igniting a tinder charge placed therein.

A membrane switch control panel arrangement and a label assembly for labeling same, for providing for in field applied identification of the control panel legend upon assembly of the switch, in which the control panel arrangement is of the keyboard switch type providing for touch sensitive switch actuation, with the control panel arrangement circuit board circuiting, membrane or touch sensitive switch components therefor, and the control panel legend sheet switch location indicia therefor being arranged in superposed modular group form, and columnarily arranged, spaced apart switch actuation and observation sets, which sets are disposed in spaced apart rows and extending crosswise of the panel in a columnar configuration, with the legend sheet being delineated to receive and have adhered thereto individual in field marked labels that are to bear the switch identification indicia of the adjacent switch location indicia row. The label assembly comprises a carrier sheet and an adhesive backed label forming sheet that are both specially segmented to define specially shaped sections cooperation to remain united for application thereto, by using a typewriter or the like, the switch identification indicia involved that becomes known only when the assembly of the switch components and controls has been completed. The individual labels are shaped to be then expeditiously separated from the carrier sheet and centered on the respective legend blank spaces by way of throw-away end tab section arrangement that is part of the label assembly arrangement.
摘要:
A beverage carbonator device comprising an outer main container for holding the beverage as it is being, and/or after it is, carbonated, which is open at its upper end and has a beverage dispensing off-on control valve or spigot at its lower end, and a carbonation generating and pressure regulating assembly arranged for mounting within the container in sealed application to the container open end. The assembly in one form includes a lower carbonating gas generating tank that is to receive and contain the carbonating gas generating substances, which tank is removably connected in sealed relation to an orificed floor of a carbonating gas receiver that is closed at its upper end by a flexible diaphragm, with the receiver in turn being secured to a cover that is part of the assembly and that is sealingly applied to the container upper end.
摘要:
A programmable controller system for controlling industrial processes in which the system includes a central processing unit including a random or other access memory, a programming tape, a tape reader for sensing computer data bits on the programming tape and connected to the processing unit for storing the data bits in memory, and means for connecting I/O devices to the processing unit, wherein a work sheet is employed that is arranged for manual marking of the program process steps in terms of I/O functions thereon in sequentially consecutive binary notation fashion computer data word form, in the order of sequence of the process steps. The tape is a ribbon that is delineated to have applied to same the work sheet computer data word indicia in modularized group or set form, in which groups or sets the computer data words for the consecutive process steps are sequentially arranged transversely of the tape, with succeeding groups or sets following in sequential order, with the work sheet computer data word indicia being manually marked on the tape binary notation system fashion, and the reader being arranged for pull through application of the tape therethrough and for sensing the tape markings in consecutive word group or set form, with continuous manually induced movement of the tape through the reader, for storing of the computer word sets in the controller memory for controlling the process through the controller central processing unit.
摘要:
A cutting torch apparatus comprising a cutting torch arranged to be mounted on a movable frame for movement over the workpiece with the torch comprising a torch body and support therefore integrated into a double acting hydraulic cylinder and piston device in which the torch body is equipped as a piston and is reciprocably mounted in a cylinder through which the torch body extends to dispose the torch nozzle for application to the workpiece. The torch body is equipped with a feeler or guide member mounted for a lost motion movement range axially of the nozzle and having a plurality of feeler elements in coplanar relation that ride on the workpiece in spaced apart relation about the nozzle. The piston and cylinder device are incorporated in a hydraulic system, that includes a hydraulic pressure liquid and a hydraulic pressure liquid flow orienting or directional control valve of the mechanical servo type, for supporting the torch body and moving same axially of its nozzle. The feeler member and servo valve are operably connected for translating the movement of the feeler member in its lost motion range, due to elevational changes in the workpiece, as the torch moves across same, into adjustment of the servo valve to maintain the torch nozzle at the desired predetermined spacing above the workpiece, as the cutting proceed.

A treadmill exercising apparatus comprising a generally planar frame equipped with a planar slider bed and head and tail rollers journalled respectively at the head and tail ends of the frame. The rollers are provided with elastomeric material crowns, over which rollers an endless nylon belt is trained. The frame at its head end is equipped with a cross member in which are threadedly mounted in spaced apart relation a pair of threaded screw members that adjustably support the head end of the frame, with each of said screw members being journalled in its own foot for rotational movement with respect thereto, and with the threaded screw members being coupled together adjacent their upper ends for simultaneous manual operation in the same direction in forward and reverse directions. The screw members shift from an angled position to a substantially vertical position, in firm supporting relation to the treadmill frame, when operated to shift the treadmill frame from horizontal position to the maximum grade effect position. An electric drive motor assembly pivotally mounted on the cross member is spring biased to tension the drive belt stretching between step up and step down pulleys on the head roller and drive motor. A handle on the assembly is used to overcome the spring bias to free the belt for movement between pulleys to change the drive ratio.

A label assembly arrangement with label end finger hold capability for the individual labels, in which the label assembly comprises a carrier sheet and a plurality of pressure sensitive adhesive backed labels that are shaped to be expeditiously separated from the carrier sheet and centered on the desired substrate surface by finger gripping of the label end portions, which in accordance with the invention have the adhesive side of same masked at either end of the label to protect the adhesive during handling. The masking is effected by masking sections delineated and severed from the carrier sheet and removed therefrom when the individual labels are peeled from their carrier sheet.
