Title: Glue applying kit for carpenter
Inventor: CHEN CHUAN-WU
IPC: B05C17/005
Filed: 1994-01-07
Abstract: The glue applying kit 10 comprises a squeezable glue container 11, a connection member 12, at least one nozzle 13, 14, and a tray 17, for holding the container 11, member 12 and at least one nozzle when not in use. Each nozzle has a body 24 provided with a first axial hole 25 and an extension portion 27 having a second axial hole 28 in communication with the first axial hole 25. The glue in the glue container 11 can be evenly applied to the inner wall surface of a fastening slot 61 of a wooden plate 60 intended to be fastened to another wooden plate by means of the nozzle 13 which is placed in the fastening slot 61. The glue is dispensed via the first and the second axial holes 25, 28 and an outlet hole 55. The outlet hole may extend axially or radially (32, Figure 2). When the nozzle 13 is not in use temporarily, the nozzle 13 may be kept in a kit bottle 16 (Figure 7) to prevent the glue in the nozzle 13 from becoming coagulated. An outwardly extending flange 26 of the nozzle body is held between the container outlet and the connection member which may be screwed onto the container neck.

Title: A low power amplifier and an oscilating circuit incorporating the amplifier
Inventor: RUSSELL IAN LAWSON
IPC: H03F3/30
Filed: 1995-09-16
Abstract: An oscillating circuit includes a low power inverting amplifier (10) having an input (208) and an output (209) and having a relatively high resistance d.c. biasing path (2) associated therewith.
