Novel polymers represented by the formula where A and B are each selected from the group consisting of a straight and branched alkylene, a straight and branched alkylene containing, as a part thereof, a double bond, a triple bond or a radical --(CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 O).sub.y --CH.sub.2 --CH.sub.2 --wherein y is an integer of from 1 to 20, xylylene and cyclohexylene; R.sub.1, R.sub.2, R.sub.3 and R.sub.4 represent a lower alkyl group, or R.sub.1 and R.sub.2, and/or R.sub.3 and R.sub.4, when taken to...

A food container is provided having a bottom wall, a top wall, and a pair of end walls arranged at opposite ends of the top and bottom walls. Each of the end walls is comprised of an inner flap having a substantially lenticular configuration which defines a lenticular cross-sectional configuration for the container. A divider flap is foldably connected to and made from material initially comprising a part of the top wall, with the divider flap extending between the bottom wall and top wall and d...

An escapement means for a timer utilizes a constant force coil spring such that the minimum force required to activate a ratchet means coupled to the timer cam stack can be set and maintained during the operation of the timer.

A high molecular weight amorphous polysaccharide antibiotic composition containing about 1.9 percent by weight phosphorus, 48.5 percent carbon, 7.3 percent hydrogen, 5.1 percent nitrogen and the balance oxygen; having a molecular weight of 68,000 to 70,000, infra-red absorption spectrum maxima, for the sodium salt at 2.95, 3.40, 6.00, 6.53, 7.28, 8.20 and 9.38 .mu. and activity in vitro and in vivo against gram positive micro-organisms; and process of preparing same by cultivation of S. bambergi...

A necktie and the method of fabricating the necktie using only lines of stitches capable of being produced on a conventional household sewing machine and without requiring eversion of the necktie. Easily removed basting stitches are used temporarily to hold parts of the necktie in position to be finally united by a zigzag pattern of stitches.

Book covers are attached to the sheets comprising the book by means of spaced plastic studs which pass through aligned holes in the covers and sheets. The studs project from a first plastic strip, which strip is positioned on one side of the book adjacent the spine edge. A second strip having holes spaced complementary to the studs is positioned on the opposite side of the book. The strips are pressed toward each other, the excess stud lengths are cut off near the outside of the second strip, an...

A vehicle jack has a housing with opposed walls and pins extending between the walls and with one of the pins supporting a jack handle socket and a lifting pawl. The housing is in two halves and is assembled by inserting the pins through one housing half, then deforming the material around each pin hole to hold the pins rigidly in place, then assembling the jack operating mechanism and related parts with the housing half, and then assembling the other housing half with the pins and upsetting the...

Knitted tubular stocking and methods of fabricating the same, said stocking having welt, leg and foot portions and a tubular double ply toe portion with a draw yarn interlaced with the stitches of courses defining the outer end of the double ply toe portion, the draw yarn acting when partially withdrawn from the courses to gather the stitches thereof into a tight bunch to close the outer end of the toe.

A mop having a relatively long fabric headband, and a pair of transverse members, preferably pieces of twine, disposed underneath the outer layer of headband material equally spaced on opposite sides of the transverse centerline of the headband which aid in securing the headband to a mop handle.

Novel aromatic guanidine compounds having the formula: ##SPC1## Wherein: R.sub.1 is hydrogen; R.sub.2 is chloro, fluoro or bromo; R.sub.3 is hydroxy, or alkyl having one to four carbon atoms; and R.sub.4 is hydrogen, chloro, bromo or fluoro are found to have biological activity. The guanidine compounds and their salts are shown to be active as vasoconstrictor agents and create useful pharmaceutical preparations when deployed with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier for administration to a host...
