A battery terminal post cable clamp made from a highly conductive material, preferably lead, and having a metallic clamping plate adapted to threadably receive connecting bolts, the shanks of which are freely journaled through suitable apertures formed in the cable-receiving tail portion of the clamp body. As the clamping bolts thread directly into the cable-retaining clamping plate, no nuts are required, and cables having different diameters can readily be attached to either the top or bottom s...

A marching carrier includes rods for supporting a musical instrument, a carrier main body to be in contact with a front face of a trunk of a player, a frame put on both shoulders of the player, a pair of shoulder cushions pivotably attached to the frame, and a back cushion pivotably attached to the frame. In the marching carrier, angles of the shoulder cushions and the back cushion to the frame can be adjusted separately.

In the preparation of cured meat, curing is carried out under conditions such as to control the amount of free nitrite that remains in the cured meat, and at least the major proportion of the residual free nitrite is then destroyed without significantly affecting the cured colour by means of a substance that reacts with said residual free nitrite, said substance containing sulfur dioxide in combined form and being selected from the group consisting of alkali metal sulfites, bisulfites, and thios...

The invention relates to an injection device for the reliable introduction of a fluid into a metallurgical vessel having a refractory lining, the device being removably insertable in the lining; comprising a refractory first body (2) and a refractory second body (3) fittingly assembled, the first body (2) being made of a refractory material less permeable to the fluid than the material of the second body (3), the first and second bodies having each a surface (4, 5) adapted to contact molten meta...

A method of producing pulverized coal as fuel for pulverized-coal pilot burners of pulverized-coal annular burners or of systems thereof in a power plant having auxiliary steam generators. The raw coal undergoes or is subjected to a pulverizing-drying, and the pulverized coal which is produced is separated off in a separating system and is supplied either directly or after temporary storage by means of a suitable transporting system to the pilot burners. The thermal drying energy for the pulveri...

In a double-walled tank for low-temperature liquids, such as a liquid gas, an inner tank forms a primary safety casing while an outer tank, enclosing the inner tank, forms a secondary safety casing. The inner tank includes a base and an upwardly extending side wall with at least the base being formed of metal. Preferably, the outer tank is formed of reinforced concrete. A thermal insulation layer is located between the two tanks, a ring of reinforced concrete encircles the junction of the side w...

A wristband connector including an outer tubular member having two radially inwardly projecting guides, one at each end of the outer tubular member. A lug slot extends from one end of the outer tubular member along part of its length. Two inner tubular members having an outside diameter slightly less than the inside diameter of the outer tubular member have a guide slot which cooperates with and slidingly receives the guide on the outer tubular member to prevent relative rotation of the inner tu...

An improved watchcase construction in which the wrist strap is carried by a strap-retaining element slidably engageable with an end wall of the case bezel. The bezel includes channel-forming means in a rectilinear wall thereof, and the strap-retaining element includes an elongated channel-engaging member interconnected by a web portion to the remaining parts of the element. Detent means is provided to maintain the two elements in fully assembled condition, as is stop means for determining said p...

Apparatus for estimating the range of a golf course flagstick in terms of a number of paces which is common to all users. An opaque body adapted to be held in the hand is so shaped that its profile has two parallel ridges which face in the same direction, are separated by 47/64 inch, and lie on the same side of a perpendicular line along which they terminate. In use, the apparatus is held at arm's length so that the ridges are horizontal and the lower ridge is aligned with the lowermost visible ...

An adjusting assembly for a drum support includes multiple adjusting holes defined through the second extension of the secondary base and multiple fixing holes defined in the first extension of the primary base. One adjusting hole corresponds to and aligns with at least two fixing holes such that relative position of the second extension to the first extension is easily adjusted and secured via fixing bolts. An urging plate received in the seat and pushed by distal free ends of two threaded bolt...
