Abstract: ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE         A jig has a pair of clamps for holding two speed skate blades in sharpening position extend from one end of the jig to the other, and are supported adjacent each other within a frame. Only one clamp of each pair of  clamps  is movable,  and this  is the interior clamp. The clamps preferably have a smooth continuous upper surface that extends beyond a typical blade length and a narrow edge of uniform thickness along the clamp for gripping a speed skate blade. The interior clamps preferably are provided with guides at each end and are moved in relation to the fixed exterior clamps using a bolt that threads into the guides. The clamps have transverse edges for gripping a speed skate that are much smaller than a speed skate blade.  Adjacent  clamps  of  a  pair  are  preferably contoured to merge towards each other in the center to provide a progressive clamping action from the center outward.  Supports  on  either  end  of  the  jig  are preferably splayed outward and downward from the bolts to form a stable sharpening surface. A speed skate sharpening stone is formed of non-magnetic material having at least one planar surface a diamond grit coating applied to the planar surface. The stone is preferably formed of aluminum, with a brass covering on the planar surface, the diamond grit being adhered to the brass covering. In the case of a side stone, the block includes a finger recess. In the case of a top  stone,  there  are two  such blocks along with locating means to hold the blocks in a fixed position in relation to each other with the first and second planar abrasive surfaces lying in substantially the same plane.   The first and second planar abrasive surfaces are preferably bordered on opposed sides by parallel ridges extending out of the respective planes of  the  surfaces  so  as  to  guide  the  stones.  The locating means preferably includes a pair of rods, and each of the blocks includes first and second bores for slidably receiving respective ends of the rods with means to fasten the blocks on the rods.

Title: Vehicle marker light and advertisement illuminator
Inventor: ZIMMERMAN GEORGE T III
IPC: B60Q1/26
Filed: 1993-09-27
Abstract: A vehicle illuminator is provided which acts as a conventional marker light, and additionally illuminates advertisements on the surface of a vehicle. To allow both functions to be performed by a single illuminator, at least one bulb, a reflector, and a transparent insert are combined with one or more conventional marker lights.      Light from at least one additional bulb is reflected through a clear portion of a housing by the reflector, the reflector being positioned such that the reflected light illuminates a selected surface. Thus, the light, in addition to acting as a conventional marker light, illuminates advertisements on vehicle and trailer surfaces, making these advertisements more viable, especially during periods of low visibility.

Patent CA-2111380-A1 (CA)
Title: Folding machine
Inventor: FISK DWIGHT R
IPC: B65H45/12
Filed: 1993-12-14
Abstract: A folding machine includes a vacuum conveyor and a plurality of flip folders spaced along the length of the conveyor. A length of sheet material is fed down from the conveyor to position the lead end of the sheet in clamp members at a first flip fold. The end is clamped and rotated downstream and up above the remainder of the sheet which is continuously fed down the conveyor. The clamps are released to allow the lead end to fall over the trailing edge of the sheet, thereby completing a first fold which reduces the length of the sheet 50 percent. Successive lead ends of the sheet are folded by second and third flip folders to reduce the length of the sheet to 1/8 the length of the original sheet and increase the thickness of the sheet to eight plies. The final folded bundle is fed to a tuck folder which further reduces the length of the package 50 percent forming a folded package 1/16 the length of the original sheet and having 16 plies.

IPC: C08L75/00
Filed: 1992-10-02
Abstract: A non-cellular polyurethane composite material comprising desiccated rubber particles embedded in a non-cellular matrix of polyurethane. Rubber particles derived from tires and other sources are combined with a desiccant to remove moisture present in the particles. The resulting desiccated rubber particles and desiccant are mixed with a polyol and isocyanate to form a precursor blend which is cured to produce a non-cellular polyurethane composite. The resulting rubber-polyurethane composite may be used for tires, shoe and boot soles, surface coatings, and other applications requiring a material which is structurally strong and wear resistant.  The desiccated rubber particles may be premixed with the polyol and/or added simultaneously with the polyol and isocyanate during composite molding.

IPC: A46B15/00
Filed: 1994-04-26
Abstract: A flexible cleaning pad for removing dry particles such as lint, dust and the li ke from surfaces such as clothing, upholstery and the like. The pad has a hand contacting sheet m ade of flexible material and an opposed cleaning sheet also made of flexible material. Both the hand contacting sheet and the cleaning sheet are adhesively fixed to an intermediate core sheet by an adhesive material. The core sheet is made of a substantially rigid yet bendable material presenting resilient properties. The adhesive material is chosen so as to also presents reselient pro perties. A strap extending across the hand contacting sheet allows the pad to be secured in the p alm of the hand of an intended user. The core sheet provides structural rigidity to the pad whil e allowing the latter to be bended. The core sheet also allows the pad to spring back to a substantial ly flat configuration when no external force is applied to the pad. The use of an adhesi ve material having resilient characteristics allow the hand contacting sheet and the cleanin g sheet to slide relatively to the core layer when the pad is bended thus preventing warping of t he latter.

Title: Meat skinning machine with pivotal deflector plate
Inventor: HOLMS DONALD D
IPC: A22C17/12
Filed: 1994-06-21
Abstract: ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE     A meat skinning machine (10) has a frame (12), an elongated skinning blade (16) with a cutting edge (18), a rotatable gripping roll (20) positioned adjacent the blade (16), and a motor operatively connected to the gripping roll (20).  The skinning machine (10) is also provided with a pivotal deflector plate (30) for deflecting a meat product upwardly as the product is fed past the blade (16). The angle of the deflector plate (30) is adjustable to accommodate different meat products and different operators.  In one embodiment, the distance between the deflector plate and the skinning blade (16) is also adjustable.  The upward deflection of the meat product allows the product to be flipped forwardly to a position in front of the skinning blade (16) for additional feeding past the skinning blade (16), without the operator reaching across the skinning blade (16) to pick up or grasp the meat product.
