A guide for controlling the direction of movement of a flexible member, such as a garden hose. The guide features a pair of vertically disposed rollers journaled on an anchor rod and a steady anchor rod above a downwardly curved base plate through which the anchor rods extend, and a third roller journaled on a "bend-over" upper end of the anchor rod such as to overlie a hose retaining space between the pair of vertically disposed rollers. The third roller cooperates with the roller journaled on ...

A multiple catheter system is described. In one embodiment a medical catheter system includes a first catheter having an entrance orifice, an exit orifice, a channel connecting the entrance orifice and the exit orifice, and a wall surrounding the channel. In this embodiment the hardness of the wall surrounding the channel decreases in in hardness, increases in hardness and then decreases in hardness again, when considered from an initial reference point at the entrance orifice and traveling towa...

The invention is concerned with producing a visual guiding effect for guide walls which are difficult to see particularly at dusk and in the dark. According to the invention, the guide arrangement comprises a holder which is to be mounted on the guide wall and is provided with a retaining arm, which is elastically resilient at least in the horizontal direction, and a guide member which is mounted on the retaining arm by a coupling device and is provided on at least one side with a guide face whi...

A cutting guide for precisely setting radial arm and table saw blades in the fabrication of lapped and dado joints comprises a generally wedge shaped body that is formed with a channel at a medial region and a seat at one end. A guide is provided in the channel midway between an inner edge of the seat and the other end of the body. The dimensional relationship among the inner edge of the seat, the other end of the body and the guide is such that when the seat is placed on a piece of lumber with ...

A thin, flat member longer than its width has parallel sides and one end formed at a right angle thereto and notched midway between the sides, the other opposite end being pointed. A visible line is formed on the longitudinal axis and extends from the mid portion of the notch on the one end to the apex of the pointed end. The upper surface of the thin flat member is preferably reflective material which enables a golfer to see whether or not his head is over the ball and improves the golfer's vie...

A block of resilient material has a radial slot formed therein for gripping a nail and holding it in position during initial driving thereof into an object.

A bushing for aligning sections of mold quipment and the like having course external threads at one end and fine external threads at the other end, and a flange ring threaded onto the fine external threads. The fine external threads preferably have a lead greater than the course external threads, and a set screw or other means are provided for preventing rotation of the flange ring relative to external structure.

A method and apparatus for guiding a continuous filament tow and two organic fiber slivers into draw rolls whereby an organic fiber sliver is between the continuous filament tow and each draw roll. A unitary guide, having two trumper-shaped sliver receiving apertures and a circular tow receiving aperture between the sliver receiving apertures, is used to effect the method using a conductive continuous filament tow.

A rugged, versatile, drill guide of simple design for positioning a drill bit relative to varied workpiece configurations.

An extensible guide, applicable to powered hand saws having base plates of various size, is adjustable to guide a saw at variable distances, and, in particular, relatively great distances from a straight edge, thereby providing a straight cut through a wide panel.
