A tool for qualitatively measuring a feature of a skate blade.

A flat triangular piece, usually of shatter resistant plastic, is formed with straight edges and is used in connection with a T-square for drawing perpendicular lines and geometric shapes. The outside peripheral corners are rounded for safety purposes and the intermediate portions of the legs are slotted or recessed to permit the utilitarian reproduction of triangular lines and shapes with sharp points.

The drafting instrument of the invention (10) disclosed herein generally compromises a planar body in a quadrilateral, symmetrical form, having four perimeter sides (22,24,26 and 28), interconnected end to end to form a quadrilateral configuration and show an open space (40) in the interior of the body, and of which two pairs of sides are right angles to each other and positioned opposite and symmetrical to each other on the planar body. The instrument is provided in two primary embodiments, the...

An invention is disclosed which comprises siloxane-based polyamides as gelling agents for cosmetic products, methods for making such agents, formulations thereof and cosmetic formulations therewith. These polyamides contain siloxane groups in the main chain and act to thicken compositions containing volatile and/or non-volatile silicone fluids. Cosmetic compositions may be made by adding at least one active ingredient such as an antiperspirant

A drawing triangle is disclosed having 30-, 45-, and 105-degree angles. A perpendicular starting from the vertex of the obtuse angle meets the base at a right angle, from the point where said perpendicular meets said base a set of three reference lines extends making angles of 7 degrees, 30 degrees, and 42 degrees with the base line respectively. Inside the edges of the drawing triangle a set of three base lines each parallel to its corresponding edge are further provided. Between said inner bas...

The present invention relates to organo(poly)siloxanes modified by phosphates (including alkali metal salts thereof or the like) suitable as a component of cosmetics, and to a process for the manufacture of organo(poly)siloxanes modified by phosphates (including alkali metal salts thereof or the like) comprising reacting an organo(poly)siloxane having a group HO--(R.sup.4 O).sub.q --R.sup.5' --OR.sup.6).sub.r -- in its molecular chain, wherein R.sup.4 -R.sup.6 are alkylene groups, with an oxyhal...

The polysilanes and polysiloxanes of the present invention are polymers that contain silicon in the principal chain, and contain in the side chains alkaline soluble groups such as phenol-based hydroxy group and carboxyl group. One silicone resist material of the present invention comprises the polysilane or the polysiloxane in the above. Another silicone resist material of the present invention contains the above polysilane or polysiloxane, and an appropriate photosensitive agent. Still another ...

The builder's square aids in cutting sheet material, such as full sheets of plywood, and in particular reduces the time required for cutting. The square comprises a short leg and a long leg connected in an L-shape. The short leg is of greater height than the long leg so that it can bear against one edge of the sheet of plywood to be cut. There is a clamping member at the distal end of the long leg so that the square can be clamped to the plywood. The builder's square also provides improved accur...

The invention relates to novel polymeric hydridosilazanes, processes for their preparation and their use for the preparation of ceramic material containing silicon nitride. To prepare the polymeric hydridosilazanes, polymeric hydridochlorosilazanes are reacted with NH.sub.3. To prepare the ceramic material containing silicon nitride, the polymeric hydridosilazanes are then pyrolyzed.

A variable speed pulley or sheave with a broad speed range is provided. The variable speed pulley comprises three inter-nesting components which enable a broad range of ratios to be achieved. The multiple component pulley is mounted on an idler shaft with one V-belt connected to a pulley of a drive shaft and another V-belt connected with a pulley of a driven shaft. The pulley includes two outer pulley components which are designed with generally radially-extending tines and recessed hubs. The pu...
