Title: Line feed mechanism for line trimmers
Inventor: COLLINS IMACK L
IPC: A01D34/73
Filed: 1987-11-26
Abstract: The cutting head assembly of a motor-driven flexible line trimmer (10) has a line feed mechanism which includes a housing member connected to and driven by a drive shaft (28) from the prime mover and having a centrally located cylindrical wall (46) for receiving a compression spring (30). A locking plate and cup member (14) is reciprocably disposed around the cylindrical wall and compresses the spring substantially to its normal running position where it is held in position relative to the housing member by suitable retention structure. A spool (16) is disposed around the cup portion of the locking plate and cup member and unless restrained, is free to rotate relative to the housing member to pay out line through an aperture in the housing member. A cover ring member (18) has a central opening which is coupled to the housing member and holds a ground engaging button member (20) against the lower end of the cup member when both are in the lower, normal running position, yet permits the button member to reciprocate upwardly against the locking plate and cup member to compress the spring when the button member is bumped against the ground. The locking plate and cup member is driven by the housing member while being permitted to reciprocate axially, while the button member is driven by the cover ring member by way of the housing member while also permitting the button member to reciprocate axially. The spool is held against axial reciprocation by the cover member and the housing member in a manner permitting rotation of the spool relative to the housing. The upper and lower faces of the spool have radially extending ribs (84, 88) which cooperate with locking teeth (86) on the lower face of the locking plate and escapement teeth (90) on the upper edge of the button member to lock the spool against rotation when the locking plate and cup member are in the lower, normal running position, and to permit the spool to rotate through a controlled increment when the button is bumped against the ground and thus reciprocated, along with the locking plate member, upwardly then downwardly as a result of the biasing force of the spring.

Title: A method for preparing hollow latexes
Inventor: MCDONALD CHARLES J
IPC: C08F2/44
Filed: 1990-10-16
Abstract: The present invention provides for a process for preparing hollow polymer latexes. A first charge of a organic phase is introduced to an aqueous phase. The first charge of the organic phase comprises monomer, which is virtually insoluble in the aqueous phase, and an inert-nonpolymerizable hydrocarbon. The polymer formed from polymerizing the monomer is virtually insoluble in the hydrocarbon, the hydrocarbon is virtually insoluble in the aqueous phase and the monomer is miscible with the hydrocarbon. The monomer is polymerized to produce a low molecular weight polymer which phase separates from the organic phase and concentrates at the surface of the organic phase forming a low molecular weight polymer phase. A second charge of the organic phase is then introduced to the aqueous phase when the low molecular weight polymer reaches a conversion of monomer to polymer of equal to or less than 80 percent, wherein the second charge of the organic phase comprises a crosslinking monomer and wherein the crosslinking monomer is imbibed in the low molecular weight polymer phase. Further polymerization produces a hollow polymer latex particle.

Title: Data input device for an electronic diary watch
IPC: G04G99/00
Filed: 1980-08-08
Granted: 1983-03-02
Abstract: The data input device permits the selection of a symbol amongst a set of N symbols, e.g. for memorizing a message. A data input device permitting selection of a particular symbol from amongst a set of N symbols includes a display subdivided into K distinct display zones and K selecting elements, each K selecting element being associated with a specific one of the K distinct display zones. The device may be used, for example, in an electronic diary watch to select alphanumeric symbols and thereby record a message for use in the diary mode of operation. A microprocessor connected to the display and selecting elements first causes the set of N symbols to be divided and displayed equally among the K distinct display zones upon manual actuation of a data selection switch. Subsequently, manual actuation of one of the K selecting elements causes the microprocessor to select the symbols of the distinct display zone associated with the actuated selecting element; these selected symbols are equally distributed and displayed among the K distinct display zones. This selecting process is repeated until the desired symbol is isolated and displayed in one of the K distinct zones, at which point manual actuation of the selecting element corresponding to that particular display zone causes the microprocessor to select and memorize that desired symbol. This selecting process is then repeated for each symbol of the message to be memorized.
