A buffer of elastomeric material forming a hollow body which has two legs spaced from each other in the direction in which the buffer exerts its main cushioning action and also has two additional legs arranged opposite and in spaced relationship to each other while interconnecting the end portions of said first legs, one of said first legs having bendable elastic insert means therein limiting the elasticity to about half of the flexibility of said additional legs.

A coil having a core fashioned from a strip of coiled spring steel and a thick jacket, completely surrounding the core, of flexible polyurethane foam. The coil can be easily wound by hand around the support rod for an intravenous feeding bottle to provide a buffer between the rod and a swinging bottle and eliminate the noise and possibility of breakage which would be present if the bottle banged into the bare rod. The spring steel core is formed into a flat, radially outwardly expanding coil wit...

A buffer for a pipe comprising two friction members secured to a mounting plate, the pipe passing through the friction members. The members are urged towards each other by an adjustable spring force. Rubber impact stoppers are on the ends of the pipe.

A display buffer is provided with a cyclic memory. Means is provided for writing data into the memory in successive regions and means is provided for reading data out in sequence. Counter means is provided to count the number of messages written into memory and the number of messages read out of memory, and inhibit means is provided to inhibit the write means if the memory becomes fully loaded. The read-out rate may be significantly different from the write-in rate so that the display buffer can...

Buffer circuitry, which uses enhancement and depletion mode field effect transistors, has relatively high speed operation, low power dissipation, and requires a relatively modest amount of silicon area for implementation.

A buffer stop comprising an arm capable of being pivotally-mounted at or near one end portion on or adjacent a railway track, and a piston-and-cylinder device. One end portion of the piston-and-cylinder device is pivotally-connectible at or near the other end portion of the arm. The other end portion of the device is capable of being pivotally-mounted on or adjacent the railway track at a distance away from the one end portion of the arm.

A buffer for a bumper comprising an outer cylinder having its bottom closed and an inner cylinder fitted slidably into the outer cylinder and defined to be attached to the bumper at the tip thereof, a stopper being provided on the inner surface of the outer cylinder at the tip thereof for preventing the inner cylinder from being disconnected therefrom, an orifice and a check valve being provided at the heel of the inner cylinder for permitting exclusively to flow a fluid sealed in the outer cyli...

A buffer amplifier is described for use in an integrated circuit in which a siganl from a processing circuit is coupled by the buffer amplifier to an output pin on the integrated circuit. The buffer amplifier includes a pair of transistors, the first of which receives the output of the processing circuit and is preferably arranged in an emitter-follower configuration. A resistor internal to the integrated circuit is coupled between ground and the emitter of the first transistor. The second trans...

A buffer circuit for yielding a high output quickly while consuming low power having an input terminal, an output terminal, a pair of power supply rails, a bootstrapping capacitance, an output circuit coupled between the supply rails and having an input connected to one side of the capacitance and an output connected to the output terminal, a delay device coupled to the input terminal and connected to the other side of the capacitance, the delay time provided by the delay device enabling the cap...

A feature of this invention is a positively assembled, double acting spring buffer having all spring guides disposed within and extending the full length of the spring assembly.
