Abstract: A weight distributing hitch assembly includes a shank, hitch head, spring bar and lift assembly. The lift assembly is preferably removable mountable to the frame members of a trailer frame while the spring bar extends below the frame members relative to the ground. The lift assembly mounts a hanger assembly which engages a cantilevered segment of the spring bar to drive the spring bar from a free state to a loaded state to distribute the hitch load to a towing vehicle as well as to the trailer. A  lever assembly mounts the hanger assembly to the lift assembly and supplies mechanical advantage to assist a user during tensioning of the spring bar. By moving the lever assembly, the cam rotates about a pivot. As the hanger assembly is engaged with the cam, the hanger assembly is driven from a disengaged position to an engaged position which moves the spring bar from its free state to its loaded state with a minimum of user effort.

Title: Ice cube tray and dispenser
Inventor: TABATABAIE MEHDI
IPC: F25C1/24
Filed: 2000-08-01
Abstract: An ice cube storage and dispensing unit having an ice cube tray with a plurality of ice cube compartments and a plurality of slits along one of the longitudinal edges. There is a cover is removably secured to the ice cube tray which creates a closed space above the ice cube tray. The cover has an open end.      There are a plurality of latches located along the bottom edge of one of the longitudinal side walls of the cover. The latches engage the slits in the ice cube tray to pivotally attach the cover to the ice cube tray. There is a flange located around the bottom edge of the other longitudinal side wall that releasably engages a groove in the other longitudinal edge of the ice cube tray to releasably lock the cover over the ice cube tray. There is a flap in the top surface of the cover near the free end to create a slot and a door at the open end of the cover to seal the space above the ice cube tray. The door is pivotally attached to one of the side walls and has a panel inserted into the slot.      The panel slides within the cavity as the door is opened and shut. Ice cubes formed in the tray are released from the tray and stored in the cover when the tray is inverted, and selectively removed from the cover through the door. The cubes are thus stored in a compact, closed environment, yet are easily accessible by pivoting open the door.

IPC: C09B67/24
Filed: 1999-03-11
Abstract: A process for dyeing materials containing natural or synthetic polyamides is disclosed. The process includes immersing the materials to be dyed in a dye bath containing an acid dye. The pH of the dye bath is initially at a level that substantially inhibits the dye from being absorbed by the polymer. In accordance with the present invention, however, an acid producing composition is added to the bath which gradually reduces the pH of the bath and allows for uniform diffusion of the dye into the polymer. The acid producing composition of the present invention is a maleate ester, which, in one embodiment, is the reaction product of maleic acid or maleic anhydride and a glycol.

IPC: A61K8/89
Filed: 1999-06-04
Abstract: Disclosed are personal care compositions, especially hair styling compositions, comprising from about 0.01 % to about 20 % of a non-silicone containing polymer suitable for hair styling; an amount of organopolysiloxane microemulsion such that the personal care composition comprises from about 0.01 % to about 10 % of organopolysiloxane; from about 0.1 % to about 20 % of a liquid hydrophilic non-polymeric cationic compound containing at least one quaternary ammonium moiety; and from about 3 % to about 99 % of a carrier. The organopolysiloxane microemulsion is substantially free of amino groups in combination with hydroxyl groups, has an average particle size of less than about 80 nanometers, and comprises a surfactant system for dispersing the organopolysiloxane in the microemulsion. The carrier in turn comprises from about 3 % to about 99 %, by weight of the composition, of a first solvent selected from the group consisting of water; water soluble organic solvents;  organic solvents having strong to moderately strong hydrogen-bonding parameters; and mixtures thereof (excluding compounds disclosed as second solvents); and optionally, from about 0 % to about 55 % of a second solvent selected from the group consisting of C1-C3 monohydric alcohols, C1-C3 ketones, C1-C3 ethers, and mixtures thereof. The personal care composition in the present invention provides good style retention and improved hair aesthetics, e.g. blacker, shinier hair, without the disadvantages of stiff or sticky compositions. In addition, the present invention provides these same attributes while containing lower alcohols. Furthermore, it has been found that incorporation of select styling polymers and plasticizers provides additionally a restyle benefit.

Abstract: L'invention concerne des systèmes de traitement de bande pressurisée qui comportent une bande en mouvement traversant une chambre de traitement pressurisée, laquelle comporte un ensemble étanchéité équipé d'un système de réglage de fuites. Le réglage des fuites est mis en oeuvre par l'action conjuguée de détecteurs de fuite locaux et d'un dispositif de réduction de fuite appliquant une force d'étanchéité sur l'ensemble étanchéité en réponse à un signal provenant des détecteurs de fuite, de façon à assurer une étanchéité accrue à proximité de la fuite. En particulier, une presse à air servant à éliminer l'eau d'une bande de papier présente une efficacité accrue grâce à un système de réglage de fuites comportant des détecteurs de fuite locaux et un dispositif de production de force locale, associés à un ensemble joint flexible pour réduire les fuites se produisant sur les bords de la chambre fixe de la presse à air. La détection locale de fuites peut être basée sur des mesures acoustiques effectuées à l'aide de microphones, sur une détection de fuites de gaz de dépistage, par signaux optiques, et par d'autres moyens. D'autres modes de réalisation de systèmes de traitement de bande comprennent notamment des moyens de production continue de tissus de carbone activé, ainsi que des moyens de traitement chimique et à la vapeur de textiles et d'autres bandes fibreuses.
