Because barbeque forks tend to be rather unwieldy items a barbeque fork is provided which can be separated into a number of shorter pieces or lengths for storage and the pieces then assembled end to end by connecting means before use. Preferably such connecting means comprise a screw-threaded spigot on one piece and a corresponding screw-threaded socket on the adjacent piece. To avoid difficulties in unscrewing the connection means with greasy hands, however, when there are more than three piece...

Lift forks for use in lifting equipment such as utility vehicles (e.g., three-wheeled commercial mowers, four-wheeled vehicles, outdoor power equipment, etc.) for inspection, servicing and repair purposes. The lift forks are attachable to tool bars. The lift forks are movable along the tool bars and are also movable transversely of the tool bars so that the lift forks can engage the wheels of a vehicle to be lifted even when the vehicle is not aligned parallel to the tool bars. When the tool bar...

A device for cleaning forks employing a U shaped member with a handle extending outward from the cross piece. A plurality of spaced parallel cleaning elements essentially coplanar with member and handle extend transversely and taut between the two legs of the member.

A bicycle fork having a damping apparatus that includes a cylinder, a damping fluid and a piston. The cylinder defines a chamber. The damping fluid is located in the chamber. The piston is disposed in the chamber and is positioned adjacent the fluid.

Heatable or coolable mixing kneader for batchwise or continuous operation for mixing/kneading processes with liquid, pasty and free-flowing products, with a kneading shaft (16) coaxially rotating in a cylindrical housing (1), with disk elements (17) mounted at right angles thereupon, with kneading bars (18), which interest with kneading counterelements (19/20/21) fixed in the housing, characterized in that these kneading tools are designed as interengaging forks with kneading gaps of large speci...

A buffer assembly for front forks has an oil-cylinder type buffer device disposed in one stay and a spring type buffer device disposed in the other stay. The oil-cylinder type buffer device has an adjustable screw, an adjusting rod, an adjusting device, an oil cylinder, elastic members, padding members, a shaft, a hollow seat, a spring, and a lower stay. The spring type buffer device has an adjustable bolt, an upper stay, an upper rod, an upper seat, soft pads, hard pads, a lower seat and a lowe...

A damping apparatus having a cylinder, a fluid, and a floating piston. The cylinder includes a fluid chamber with the fluid located within the fluid chamber. The floating piston is coupled to the cylinder to carry the fluid in the fluid chamber. The floating piston is movable in response to movement of the fluid when a force is applied to the cylinder.

A headset for bicycle having external forks. The headset allows the use of small standard sealed radial ball bearings, and allows for easy fork replacement by removing and replacing only two screws. Ball bearings with outer and inner races are inserted into bearing bores of the head tube of a bicycle frame. A pair of internally threaded bushings insert through the bearing inner races and are drawn together by a stud. Fasteners, such as screws, insert through mounting holes in spaced-apart mounti...

A damping apparatus for use in a bicycle fork includes two telescoping legs, a rebound piston and a compression piston. A damping fluid is provided in the apparatus. The pistons and legs define compression rebound and variable zones into which the fluid may flow to provide desired damping.

The present invention relates to a class of molecules called "antigen forks" that inhibit cell growth. These antigen forks possess separate binding elements for two different cell surface antigens and are believed to heterologously crosslink the antigens by binding to them. The two antigens recognized by an antigen fork differ in at least one cellular functional quality, but are simultaneously expressed on the surface of at least one cell type targeted for killing or growth inhibition. The prese...
