A distance between slack management members and opposing sidewalls of the base plate may be progressively smaller for sl...

Taught herein is a portable digital horizontal inclinometer which utilizes magnetic field to dampen the free swing of the pendulum. The inclinometer features simple structure, small size, high sensitivity, good linearity, high precision, and strong anti-jamming capability. It is also easy to manufacture and provide fast and accurate reading over a wide range of inclination angles of up to 360.degree. .

A head for an auger for horizontal earth boring has four point support which assists in keeping the hole round and in line. The boring head, attached to the working end of an auger shaft has two opposed boring arms formed with tooth holding sockets for replaceable digging teeth and also for a pilot bit. To the rear of the arms is an expansion tooth head having opposed arms intermediate the boring head arms. These arms carry on their outer ends holders for expansion teeth which pivot outward when...

An aerosol having a captive safety overcap which must be rotated, axially depressed, and once again rotated, with respect to the aerosol, to allow operation of the conventional button for actuating the aerosol valve. The overcap is provided with an opening which in the safety position is misaligned with respect to a button access opening in an inner cap, but when turned, depressed, and turned again, the openings are aligned so that a finger may be inserted and the valve button depressed for oper...

A saturable reactor for providing picture horizontal scan width and scan linearly control for a television horizontal deflection system is connected in series with standard cathode ray tube magnetic-deflection coils. A core of the saturable reactor is adjusted lengthwise of its encompassing coil to vary the scan width by directly altering the inductance of the coil. Independently therefrom, a permanent magnet is rotatably mounted adjacent to one end of the coil opposite of and spaced from an ext...

An exercise device including a pair of upright poles interconnected by top and bottom cross members, the bottom cross member being slidable on the poles and adapted to be biased upwardly by spring elements at opposite ends. A horizontally disposed weight may be detachably carried on the bottom cross member. U-shaped members are pivotally and slidably connected to the poles to provide parallel handles when pivoted to an inwardly extending position and provide supports for a pivotal bed frame when...

This specification discloses the packing of small planar or sheet-like items, particularly clothing labels, into containers, including an item support that shifts the items arcuately and then through a restricted opening into packed array in a container, and container advancing means that also operates a gate to close the opening during container advancement.

A horizontal lathe has an overhead bridge on each side of which a machine tool slide is disposed, the space below the workpiece being free. A conveyor for workpieces can be arranged in this free space.

A circular knitting machine comprises a rotatable knitting needle cylinder which carries a plurality of knitting needles through knitting stations. A needle-moving jack is pivotally connected with each of the knitting needles and is movable in a needle-raising stroke and a needle-lowering stroke to effect needle raising and lowering, respectively, Each of the needle-moving jacks has a butt thereon which is received in a cam track which operates to effect the raising and lowering of the needle-mo...
