Abstract: A collapsible and adjustable tripod for support of a camera or other apparatus is disclosed. The tripod includes a central column having three sides, each side having a channel longitudinally formed therein. Three leg assemblies, each comprising a leg member and a brace, unfold to support the tripod and collapse to a closed position within the channel in each side of the central column. A first latch mechanism associated with each leg assembly allows the top of each leg member to be slidable within each channel and lockable in a series of positions within each channel. Each brace is pivotably mounted to the bottom of the central column. A second latch mechanism allows the opposite end of each brace to be slidable along the leg member and lockable in a series of positions on each leg member. A neck telescopically extends from the top of the central column. A third latch mechanism allows the neck to be lockable in a series of positions above the top of the column.

Abstract: The invention provides a furnace for the controllable combustion of thermite. In an exemplary embodiment, the invention comprises a furnace housing having a combustion chamber into which thermite, in the form of rods, wires, or ribbons of encapsulated pellets, may be fed by an automatic feeder. An electric arc within the housing ignites the thermite. Coils embedded in the furnace housing circulate fluids for drawing off the energy product of thermite combustion beyond the furnace housing for utilization. The rate of combustion may be controlled by use of a vented flue, an adjustable feeder, and by cutter edges which snip the thermite to prevent further burning. The furnace housing contains insulation for retaining combustion heat product so that heat retained by the housing may continue to be drawn off by the coils. The invention provides a compact and thermally efficient furnace for diverse energy purposes, such as home heating or producing steam for driving turbine generators.

Abstract translation: 本发明提供了一种用于可热燃铝热的炉。 在一个示例性实施例中，本发明包括具有燃烧室的炉壳体，其中可以通过自动进料器将棒状，线状或密封颗粒带形式的热铝提供到其中。 外壳内的电弧点燃了铝质。 嵌入在炉壳中的线圈循环流体，以便将炉热燃烧的能量产物排出炉外壳以供利用。 燃烧速率可以通过使用排气烟道，可调进料器以及切割边缘进行控制，这些切割边缘可以蚀刻热解物以防止进一步燃烧。 炉壳包含用于保持燃烧热产物的绝缘体，使得由壳体保持的热可以继续被线圈牵引。 本发明提供了用于各种能量目的的紧凑且热效率的炉，例如家用加热或产生用于驱动涡轮发电机的蒸汽。

Abstract: A folding and adjustable tripod for support of a camera or other apparatus and including a central column having slots extending longitudinally of the column in which the upper end of tripod legs are slidable. The legs are of fixed length and each include a slot along a portion of the length thereof within which one end of an arm is slidably adjustable, the other end of the arm being pivotably attached to the lower portion of the column. The legs are extensible by sliding within the column slots while the angular extent of the legs is adjustable by slidable adjustment of the interconnecting arms.
