Quick-acting clutch disengages idle drive motor
Positive-drive, no drag, over-running clutch is developed to conserve power of idle motor in a low-power system using multiple drive motors. This device is useful where a number of shaft speeds are required with frequent shifting.

Two-part valve acts as quick coupling
A two-part valve simplifies the problem of filling large tanks from smaller ones. One part acts as a check valve and remains integral to the recipient system, while the other part is integral to the donor system.

Thermocouple-to-instrumentation connector features quick assembly
Rigid thermocouple leads are connected to flexible instrumentation leads by a crimping and bridging process. This method eliminates the need for expensive transition sections and can be accomplished in about five minutes.

Instrument quickly transposes ground reference target to eye level
Optical alignment of equipment is facilitated by a traverse target with a string suspending a plumb bob to transpose the ground level point to eye level operation. This instrument appreciably decreases the time required from the present method but achieves the same degree of precision.

Cylindrical claw clamp has quick release feature
Claw clamp grasps cylindrical shapes by pressing its jaws around the object. The clamp is released by retraction of a release pin which extends beyond the clamp handle on both sides for better purchase.

Quick-closing valve is actuated by explosive discharge
Remotely controlled plug-type valve shuts off a high-pressure, high-temperature gas flow in a few milliseconds. The valve is actuated by a commercially available electrically initiated squib of low explosive power. More rapid closure is attainable with squibs containing heavier explosive changes.
Majeski, S. J.↗
Flow ring valve is simple, quick-acting
Two porting rings, one within the other, control gas or liquid flow by using seal buttons as the sliding valve closers. Multiporting within the ring allows close control of the flow by the slight rotation of the outer porting ring.

Gage tests tube flares quickly and accurately
Flared tube gage with a test cone that is precisely made with a tapering surface to complement the tube flare is capable of determining the accuracy of a tube flare efficiently and economically. This device should improve the speed, efficiency, and accuracy of tube flare inspections.

Polaroid film helps locate objects in inaccessible areas quickly
Polaroid film is used with conventional portable X ray equipment to locate and shoot items or objects in difficult areas. Polaroid film development time is about 20 seconds.

Quick-attach clamp
Clamp of the slideable jaw type can be applied to moving lines such as cables or ropes. The clamp has a trigger-operated jaw that can be attached to a redrop parachute on a moving tow cable. The trigger mechanism maintains the jaws retracted in the housing until they are released for clamping.

Quick-release hook-and-loop fastener
Joints between two rigid materials lined with velcro fabric can now be broken with ease using any one of several methods. Three such methods are applicable to either hook or loop fabric.

Quick-acting backup tool for welding ducts
Alignment and backup tool facilitates butt welding of large-diameter ducts. It consists of a circular three-place segmented hoop, a pneumatic piston, and two shoes.

Quick don-doff electrode pastes
Evaluation of electrode pastes for use in electrocardiographs and electroencephalographs found that the one having the desired don-doff properties had to be water soluble or a water dispersible base. Poly /methyl vinyl ether/maleic anhydride/ or starch gels of the gum drop variety are two such bases.

Improved quick-disconnect electrical connector
Electrical connector is fitted with an O ring, moisture-proof seal, is shielded in both the mated and unmated positions, and is equipped with one keying and three locking spheres.

Fiberglass honeycomb elements formed quickly and cheaply
Cookie cutter device initiates production of identical, double-contoured fiber glass elements used as shock absorbers. Three-bladed edges convert triangular honeycomb elements into hexagonal shapes which are then stamped to desired length by concave and convex dies. Sandpaper smoothing completes the process.

Foolproof quick-release locking pin
Locking pin can be withdrawn only when stress on the joint is negligible. Pin consists of a forward-pointing sleeve, a spring-loaded sliding handle, and a sliding plunger. Plunger movement controls installation and withdrawal of pin.
