A rotor for use in an induction type dynamoelectric machine comprising a magnetizable core having a plurality of conductor slots. Nonmagnetic electrically conducting conductors are cast in the slots. An end conductor having at least one weight retaining device for receiving a balance weight is provided. The end conductor interconnects at least some of the slot conductors. The weight mounting device is cast into the end conductor and has an enlarged portion embedded in the end conductor to firmly...

A simplified watch includes a single hand which rotates once in a predetermined number of hours. The watch is rotatively mounted in a bezel that carries a rotatable disc. The disc and the bezel carry graduations and indications to aid in telling the time.

The putter has a head with a thin front wall and an arcuate bottom wall. A circular level is mounted on a support which is cantilevered rearwardly from the front wall.

A tool, in particular a G-clamp, having a fixed clamping face on one end of an elongate body member and a further abutment face mounted on a slide member movable along the body member, the abutment face being movable relative to the slide member, and the slide member being capable of being slid along the body member to give quick-setting of the initial spacing between the clamping and abutment faces, subsequent pressure on said latter face effecting locking of the slide member on the support mem...

The invention relates to a cigarette, a cigar, a pipe or a plug of tobacco for pipes, comprising an internal fresh air admission conduit and means for causing said fresh air to pass through the shredded tobacco, thereby enabling the toxicity of the smoke to be reduced by increasing the condensation of the toxic vapors and increasing the quantity of external fresh air drawn-in. According to the invention, these means take the form of a fluid-tight bottom wall arranged in the air-admission conduit...

A hollow-walled deformable sleeve for heat insulation and application of prestress to a cylindrical component within an enclosure is constituted by two coaxial walls joined to each other by two half-tori each having the same axis as the walls. Flutes formed in uniformly spaced relation around the periphery of each wall have terminal openings alternately on one half-torus and on the other. Each flute has an axis which is parallel to that of the sleeve and a length which exceeds one-half the heigh...

A sulky has a frame structure which is adjustable in length and width. The frame structure has shaft assemblies including telescoped shaft members, and a transverse frame assembly of beams adjustable in length and connecting the shaft assemblies. The sulky wheels have axle bolts engaged in selective positions on wheel supports carried by the transverse frame assembly. Positions of the driver's seat and stirrups are also adjustable. A tow bar assembly adjustable in length transversely connects fr...

A hopper for a combined seed and fertilizer drill which has two separate compartments, one for the seed and one for the fertilizer. The hopper is divided into two compartments by a partition comprising juxtaposed members which can be removed from the hopper and remounted in the hopper in a different juxtaposed position to thereby vary the relative volumes of the two compartments.

A container and closure cap assembly comprising a pilfer - proof device involving the use of co-operable members provided on the cap and container body. The members may be arranged so that when the cap is turned for closure they lock the cap in position, so that when the cap is turned in the opposite sense one of them is removed thereby indicating that the container has been opened. The cap and container are provided with at least one inwardly and at least one out-wardly extending projection res...

Saran films, or saran coated films or substrates are laminated to treated polyethylene films or surfaces, or to other saran surfaces by means of thermoplastic polyether polyurethanes applied to the substrates as aqueous solutions by conventional laminating techniques. Also, treated polyethylene surfaces are laminated together with the thermoplastic polyurethanes.
