Inventor: ARAI KAZUYOSHI
IPC: C02F1/46
Filed: 1994-07-28
Abstract: Tn a batch type electrolyzed water producing method, a first run of electrolysis is carried out, and electrolyzed water is discharged. Thereafter, before a next run of electrolysis is carried out, the polarity of a DC power source connected to the electrode plates is reversed. Thus, the electrode plate which has served as a cathode plate in the last run of electrolysis is converted into an anode plate and therefore, deposits accumulated on the electrode plate are ionized and dissolved into the subject water.

Title: Modular Conveyor Track Connection
Inventor: HOEHN ROBERT A
IPC: B61B10/02
Filed: 1994-09-01
Abstract: Track sections of industrial conveyor systems are joined in end-to-end relationship using alignment devices that ensure that the internal running surfaces of the rail flanges of the track are free from irregularities at the track joints.          Tubular bushings are located at the ends of the sections on adjacent external surfaces of the rail flanges out of running contact with the moving conveyor components.  When the bushings are brought into register and united to form a connection, proper alignment is achieved and maintained without the need to weld the track sections together at each joint.  This provides a modular track configuration to facilitate the installation and maintenance of conveyor track systems.
Patent CA-2131493-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MOORE ROLAND S
IPC: F16D65/54
Filed: 1994-09-06
Abstract: A slack adjusting brake cylinder for use in a fluid brake unit of a railway transit vehicle having a brake piston slidably mounted on a support rod within a brake cylinder receiving cavity of the brake unit.   A plurality of friction/load rings are slidably mounted on the support rod, a first side of which serves as an abutment stop to limit the extent of return of the brake piston along the support rod.  The friction/load rings are tightly engaged on the support rod so that they are slidable only in response to fluid brake pressure forces.  A spring loaded compression member is engaged with a second side of the friction/load rings, and is partially compressed between the brake piston and the friction/load rings when the brake piston is advanced outwardly on the support rod in response to activation of the brake unit, and functions to return the brake piston into engagement with the friction/load rings  when  the  brake  unit  is deactivated.    The  degree  of compression of the spring loaded compression member is limited so that when the compression has reached the limit, the spring loaded compression member will push the friction/load rings to a new position on the support rod.

Title: Multi-position ratchet mechanism
Inventor: CABRERA RENE J
IPC: A61B17/02
Filed: 1994-11-10
Abstract: A multi-position ratchet mechanism for holding a surgical retractor blade which permits a retractor blade to be rotated into the wound and retracted at the same time to duplicate the natural "toe-in" method of retraction achieved with the hand. The ratchet mechanism includes a ratchet holder to which is pivotally attached a ratchet pivot housing. The retractor blade is mounted in an opening projecting through ratchet pivot housing and held in position by a retractor pawl attached to the ratchet pivot housing. The ratchet pivot housing also has a curved ratchet which depends into a cooperating slot in the ratchet holder and engages a ratchet release bar which is mounted on the ratchet holder and spring biased into the ratchet slot. One end of ratchet release bar is positioned under an actuating surface of the retractor pawl. The application of pressure on the actuating surface will release both ratchets to allow adjustment of the retractor blade.

Title: Sports Target System
Inventor: MCCARREL DARYEL A
IPC: A63B63/04
Filed: 1995-01-30
Abstract: A sports target system adapted for use in connection with a backdrop, is generally composed of at least one resiliently stretchable cord having hooks at each end thereof, such as a conventional stretch cord, and at least one flaccidly flexible target, such as a cloth material having a predetermined color and/or indicia thereupon. The target is provided with a loop for receiving slidably therein the resiliently stretchable cord. In operation, the user places one or more targets onto the resiliently stretchable cord by passage of the resiliently stretchable cord through the loop of each of the targets. The hooks at each end of the resiliently stretchable cord are then hookably engaged with the left and right sides of the backdrop, such as the frame of a hockey goal. The one or more targets which hang downwardly from the resiliently stretchable cord, are now slid into a selected target practice position. A selectively removable target may be provided having a loop which is selectively openable and closable, such as by a hook and loop fastener, so that the removable target may be added or removed even while the resiliently stretchable cord is strung across the backdrop.

Title: Process and device for removing gas bubbles from a viscous liquid to be dispensed
Inventor: FLORIAN GERHARD
IPC: B01D19/00
Filed: 1995-07-26
Abstract: To remove gas bubbles from a viscous liquid to be dispensed, the liquid is introduced with a first pressure in a thin, broad jet into a sealed chamber which is partially filled with the liquid, with the result that the gas bubbles can escape from the introduced liquid. A second pressure, which is lower than the first pressure, prevails in the chamber, with the result that gas bubbles present in the liquid expand and burst. The difference between the first pressure, with which the liquid is introduced into the chamber, and the second pressure, prevailing in the chamber, is constant.
