Spiderweb Thigh High
Perfectly ghoulish for anytime of year, and just plain perfect for anyone with a taste for the darker things in life. The webs lace all the way up from your toes to your thighs and stay up all day or night. These have backseams, too!
5' - 5'10" 100-175 lbs.
Cuffs stretch to about 23", but will start to bite into softer thighs at around 16". The body of the sock has far more stretch, so these could work well as a topless stocking worn with a garterbelt if the top bands were simply cut off.
Additional Info: We also have these in pantyhose.
Made in Taiwan.
Fiber Content: 100% nylon.
Hand wash, drip dry.
Label: Leg Avenue
How wide of thighs do these fit around?
You guys are always so amazing about sharing how different items fit on different bodies (which helps ensure happy customers!). I love your selection, and my friends always know that a Sock Dreams gift certificate never goes amiss as a gift in this household!

How doth the little busy bee
Improve each shining hour,
And gather honey all the day
From every opening flower!
--Isaac Watts, Against Idleness and Mischief
Do you like honey on your toast? Thank a bee! Actually thank about 100,000 bees. That's how many can live in one hive! "Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you…" (It would take you about 27 hours of non-stop thanking to thank each bee in one hive.) Bees make honey by collecting nectar from flowers and carrying it back to their hive. They put it in a little wax cell. Then bees fan their wings over the nectar to help the water evaporate from it. When most of the water has evaporated, what's left is honey. They cover the cell with wax to save the honey for later. When a beekeeper's hive has more honey than the bees need to eat, the beekeeper harvests it.
In this book, the author takes us on a journey through the mysteries of time -- geological, biological, and personal -- as she writes of the evolution of life on this planet and the evolution of her own life: her childhood next to a Michigan graveyard; the three colleges where she "learned three things;" her twenty-five years keeping bees on a farm in the Ozarks; and finally her move to a "strange little house" in a small Maine town, "the place I wanted to grow old in."
Also available on audio.
Ms. Frizzle takes her class on a fieldtrip to a beehive in her magic school bus.
Describes the feeding process, habitat, social organization, reproduction, life cycle and special characteristics of the bee.
Depicts the life cycle and habits of the honeybee, describing in detail the organization of the hive and the making of honey.
Covers the physical structure of honeybees and how they live in colonies, as well as how they produce honey and are managed by beekeepers.
A grandfather leads his granddaughter and a growing crowd in search of the tree where bees keep all their honey.
Winnie the Pooh devises a plan to fool some bees and get honey for his empty tummy.
A retelling of the traditional tale about a bee that repays King Solomon's kindness by helping him solve the Queen of Sheba's riddle.
An introduction to the behavior and life cycle of honeybees, with particular emphasis on the production of honey.

but just for remembering my many site logins. PCAdvisor and my local rugby team website. Now when I visit and click login, i type in one password and it does the rest. I dont use the card details autocomplete because with all the different boxes to fill in, i have found that information gets posted in the wrong sections. Surnames in Forenames for example. As a test I am willing to give it ago on this Beta, I will get back to you with how it goes

I have not used this either. I have used Roboform for years just to remember the passwords to access websites, and to fill forms with my name, address, e-amil address etc. (don't use it for anything too personal). This appears to do same job.

A pair of cricket bats can be seen resting out the front of a home at Bondi Beach as a tribute to Australian cricketer Phillip Hughes November 28, 2014. Australia's cricket board will launch an "immediate" review into player safety in the wake of Hughes' death, as the global cricket community mourned on Friday and the fate of next week's first test against India remained in limbo. Flags flew at half-mast at cricket grounds and players left bats outside their doors in tribute to batsman Hughes, whose death in hospital on Thursday at the age of 25 shook the sport to its core and prompted a global outpouring of sympathy. REUTERS/David Gray (AUSTRALIA - Tags: SPORT CRICKET OBITUARY)

The Lightning has two prospects currently playing U.S. High School Hockey this fall.
Center Alexander Killorn, a 2007 third rounder, plays for Deerfield Academy in Massachusetts. Also, forward Matt Marshall, a 2007 fifth rounder, plays for the Noble and Greenough School, also in Massachusetts. Both prospects recently began their respective prep seasons.
Deerfield is 1-0 after beating the Holderness School 6-0 on December 1.
Killorn had 4 goals and an assist in the game.
Johan Harju had a power play assist in Lulea's 2-1 loss to Farjestads. Former Lightning prospect Eero Somervuori had the game winning goal for FBK.
Andreas Holmqvist had 2 penalty minutes in Frolunda's 2-1 win over Djurgardens.
The Norfolk Admirals have recalled LW Radek Smolenak from Mississippi of the ECHL. The 2005 3rd round pick had 7 goals and 15 points during his 19 game exhile to the Coast.

You know what's a shame? Other than giving up 3 unanswered goals in the span of about six minutes to blow another two points the team could've had? What if Adam Henrich had approached his career with this kind of urgency when he was 20-21 years old?

Wind of Change
Months on a fishing boat in the Bering Sea with a boombox and a handful of metal tapes.
By Mark Richardson , August 28, 2001
A job that allows you to listen to the music of your choice all the live long day can only be so bad. Even the most despondent assembly line worker can attest that a Sony Walkman and a pocketful of AAs sooths the savage breast. But alas, most jobs forbid headphones and solitude, so there must be compromise. "What should we listen to today?" becomes the all-important question that begins every shift, the question that has everything to do with whether that shift is enjoyable or not. In fact, the importance of this question simply cannot be overstated. The negotiation over selecting tunes at work can be as delicate and tense as trying to broker a Middle East peace accord, and a breakdown in talks is potentially as volatile.
I know what I'm talking about here, because I had the mother of all work-tune-selecting jobs. In 1993 and 1994, I worked two seasons aboard a fishing boat in the Bering Sea. The Royal King was a 212-foot factory trawler that caught and processed pollack, the abundant cod relative that is transformed into fish sandwiches for the fast-food joints of the world. I worked in the factory, a cramped room stuffed with steel machinery and flooded with fetid seawater. My station was the packing table, the place where fillets by the basketful were sealed into a box and placed into a compression freezer. And on the top shelf of the packing table was the holy boombox, half broken, encrusted with fish scales, and most importantly, loud enough to be heard above the factory howl.
But there were problems. I brought only CDs onboard, and the CD player on the boombox was faulty. Thousands of miles from radio, tapes were the only option. There were only a half-dozen in regular rotation. Some numbers for you: shifts aboard the Royal King were sixteen hours long, seven days a week, with no days off, ever. And during those 112 hours of work every week, you only have six or seven tapes to listen to. On average, that works out to hearing each album approximately 15 times a week in its entirety. Occasionally, someone would toss in something from their private tape stash and it would work its way into the rotation, but for the most part it was the magic six, over and over and over...
What was in this precious tape box, you ask? Remember that it was the early 90's, and the company that I worked for was based in Seattle and drew from the Pacific Northwest for about half its staff (the rest came from all over-- Mexico, Vietnam, the Czech Republic, Ethiopia-- a true melting pot). So that tiny box was packed to the gills with grunge and metal. These were the regulars:
Candlebox: Candlebox
Pearl Jam: Ten
Stone Temple Pilots: Core
Metallica: Metallica
Scorpions: Crazy World
Nirvana: Nevermind
I thought Candlebox sounded terrible on the first listen, and they did not improve after 150. I could deal with the Scorpions at first, because of my fond memories of the band's 80s output, but after a few weeks they began to sound much worse than even Candlebox. To this day, I get physically ill whenever I hear Klaus Meine's voice on "Wind of Change," reminded of the seasickness that never went away. Metallica's black album actually held up well, considering, and Core probably works better for me now than Ten. But there was one ringer. Though I haven't listened to it in a while now, Nevermind never suffered from repeated exposure.
Working on the boat to this music, I understood why it took grunge to thrust the punk underground into the mainstream: the metalheads loved it. Most of the factory workers didn't differentiate between Pearl Jam, Metallica, Nirvana and the Scorpions in the least (I imagine Fugazi or Sonic Youth would have stuck out like a sore thumb). All rocked. End of story. I was to discover that the rock was very, very important. Somebody left the Chili Peppers' Blood Sugar Sex Magic in the factory occasionally, and folks liked it just fine. But when one of my roommates quit mid-season and left a tape of the Beastie Boys' Check Your Head behind, the crew would have none of it. I'd ask people, "Why don't you like the Beastie Boys? It's not that different from the Chili Peppers!" To which they'd respond, "What are you talking about? Fuck that rap shit. Chili Peppers rock."
And so it went. The same six tapes with an occasional God-sent variation. I was so hungry for change just about anything different seemed the Greatest Music of All Time, regardless of its true worth. Case in point: Little Feat. The First Mate was a nice hippie type in his early 30s. Sometimes, when the weather got too rough to work on deck, he'd come below to the factory and bring his music with him. He liked the Dead and had some show tapes, which suited me just fine. But I had a hard time keeping the Dead on the stereo, even with the Mate's rank to back it up. He also liked Little Feat, and for whatever reason, that band worked for the rest of the crew. So Goodbye, Columbus and Dixie Chicken were in regular rotation for a time.
I thought both those albums were absolutely brilliant. Packing my heart out to their syncopated rhythmic madness, I was convinced that they were criminally overlooked rock masterpieces, loose-limbed 70s funk strained through 70s rock to emerge as pure, blissed-out boogie. Years later, back on the mainland, it took only a single listen through a dollar-bin copy of Waiting for Columbus to realize just how wrong I was.
But still, despite the numbing repetition, not every deviation from the regular rotation was welcome. Deep in the throes of my Little Feat addiction, some well-intentioned soul figured me for a Southern-fried rock freak and threw on a tape of Molly Hatchet's Double Trouble Live. To this day, I can safely say that this album contains the worst music I've ever heard. Ever. A return to "Send Me An Angel" after a single trip through Double Trouble Live seemed merciful.
During the time I spent looking for fishing jobs, I fell in love with Seattle and decided I wanted to live there. While still on the boat, I wrote my friend Josh and began trying to talk him into it, and ultimately, he didn't take much convincing. Nirvana had transformed it into the place to be, and who were we to argue? The good life was cloaked in flannel.
As the season ended (the boat docked in the first week of April), I was as excited as I'd ever been. I'd just finished the most hellish three months of my life and I was about to make my home in what seemed the coolest city anywhere. Having coffee with friends in Seattle my second day off the ship, we chuckled about Kurt Cobain's recent trouble in Italy, where he'd mixed pills with booze and had to be hospitalized. "Mixing $100 champagne and sleeping pills in a five-star hotel in Rome? This is supposed to be a low?! That'd be the greatest day of my life!"
A while later, I was still staying with friends in Seattle. One day, my friend came home in the afternoon and said he'd seen a late edition of the Seattle Times: Kurt Cobain had killed himself. We flicked on the television to see pictures of the masses gathering at Seattle Center, a mere two miles away. We never considered going down, but watched the coverage for a while. The guy that first drew everyone's attention to the place was gone. We wound up following a ghost.

Great Rack for the price. Ordered my BMW X3 without the factory rails by mistake and Rhino racks made a rack that fits it. Racks are sturdy and easy to install. Instructions are easy to follow. Loaded a cargo box easily on it.
Whether you're hauling luggage, bicycles or your kitchen sink, you need a secure base rack system to make sure your cargo gets where you're going safely. Base rack systems provide the steady foundation for cargo carriers, roof rack systems and more. And, even if the top of your vehicle is bare, we have a base rack system that'll work for you.

More proof that Cruz is a fraud
Submitted by marvinmartian on Sun, 09/29/2013 - 21:40. Permalink
"Setting aside the fact that District of Columbia v. Heller, 554 U.S. 570 (2008) makes it crystal clear that there are, indeed, circumstances where it is constitutional to regulate guns, what is most remarkable is that Senator Cruz did, himself, make the case for regulating the very weapons Senator Feinstein seeks to ban in her proposed regulation.
Cruz offered that defense in the amicus curiae brief he prepared for the Supreme Court in the Heller case—a brief the Senator tells us makes him quite the expert on the subject of the 2nd Amendment."

This is true. No need for any BLLSL nonsense. Have another live show, just do the gangnam style.
( i just found out about the gangnam style)
You've just found out about it?
I remember being weirded out when it made it on the radio.
Last month.
In a small un-trendy town located in Texas.
The backwoods part of Texas.
The GB crew is not you're slave that will humiliate themselves for the community's amusement.
...and then i remembered this:
I assumed it would make its way to Dance Central 4, so who knows, maybe one day.
I already fully expect a renamed version of it will be one of the taunts for your character in Saints Row 4. If they're going to do the Carlton and what not, they'll probably want Gangnam.
@Sploder said:
Gangnam style is so last month, it's all about the pyongyang style now.
The video of Drew's trip to the DPRK is totally worth a sub actually.
@DizzyMedal said:

Yeah, Saints Row 4's "Open Condom Style" taunt will be a real hit.
I'm not trying to be THAT guy, but I honestly don't know what it is. I keep hearing people talking about so I guess I should really look it up.
'Dance, Monkey, dance!'
I sincerely hope not. I am going to be as hipster-ish as possible right now, and say that it was best before it got 300 million+ views. I see it badly imitated in TV ads (Big fucking Brother, of all shows), hear it on the radio, andreferenced to death on countless Facebook memes. If the Bomb Squad right now decided to imitate it (and hate themselves for it, because they hate dumb internet references as it is) then that will be the point where I break my computer in half and live a rural, organic and technology-deprived lifestyle, growing beans for the rest of my years.
Thus, I shall keep my exposure limited to the only use of Gangnam Style that matters.

Gangnam style is so last month, it's all about the pyongyang style now.
It's so last yar if you live in Asia.
Fuck Gangnan Style.
Mmmmm, the new Macarena and every other crappy dance thing. No thanks.
man, so viral
I would probably unsub...
What is wrong with you?...
I'm a longtime sub and I would still like to see this regardless.
What the fuck is gangnam style?
I actually love the song personally, but I feel like the GB crew should NOT do it. That's not their scene.
I'd rather they did the dance from Bubble Pop. You wouldn't pay to watch Brad popping his ass in and out?
I would cancel my sub.
Haha Giant bomb Gangnam would be glorious! Needs to happen. :D
God damn it; I came in here just to link that video. #TeamBrad keeping it real; your move, @Laksa!

If I disappear from a discussion please forgive me. My 24-7 business requires me to split mid-sentence to serve them. I am not ducking out, I will be back later to catch up.
Now we even have
a DP cookbook. Nice!

literally saw this on a menu in Tucson. Still think its the funniest thing I have seen on a menu.
Here in Wyoming
they have Rocky Mountain oysters on the menu. Not especially funny, except when some out of stater orders them thinking they are oysters.
Rocky Mountain Oysters
High dollar stuff that most do not know about.Great stuff when real hungry.

and I thought
the raccoon eaters were weird
Bacon Wrapped Pork Tenderloin
1 Pork Tenderloin, cleaned and trimmed
3 slices of pepper or regular bacon
1 tablespoon of garlic powder
1 teaspoon of Lawry's Seasoned Salt
1 teaspoon dried crumbled leaf basil
1/2 teaspoon dried crumbled leaf oregano
1 teaspoon of black pepper
Olive Oil
Combine all the dry seasonings and then rub it all over your pork tenderloin. Then wrap the bacon around the tenderloin and secure it with toothpicks. Place the tenderloin in a oven safe pan. Next take some olive oil and coat the outside of the tenderloin with it. Then put it in the fridge for an hour or two and let it sit there thinking about the things its done in life... :)
Heat your oven up to 375 degrees and then cook the tenderloin for 45-60 minutes OR until the center of it reaches 155 degrees. I always make sure the bacon is done to. Once done, pull it out of the oven, cover it foil quickly and let it stand for ten minutes. Then slice it and you are good to go!
Mexican taquitos w/ guacamole.
Mash a nice sized ripened Haas avocado (the avocado w/more oil content--not the tropical type, too watery. It must be firm but also have a "give" to it when you squeeze it in order to know that its ripe and ready to eat). Add salt and a little lemon juice with a dash of garlic powder to the mashed avocado. You might like to add half of a chopped tomato to it if you like. (I like an almost smooth guacamole w/ a few unmashed avocado chunks left in it.) Chopped onion is optional and so is chopped cilantro ( a type of parsley.) One large Haas avocado is usually enough for 4 to 6 taquitos.
Heat up 4 to 6 corn tortillas over the eye of the burner on your stove until the tortillas are soft and pliable. You'll have to turn them over once or twice. And yes, you warm them directly over the fire coming through the eye on your range. (No pans, skillets or griddles necessary for warming.) Also make sure to warm one up and roll it up with a little butter in it, too--umm, yummy!
Next, open a can of corned beef and dig out a spoonful and form it into something looking like a sausage in your warm tortilla. Flip the end of your tortilla over the meat and keep rolling it until you've got something resembling a cigar.
Stick a toothpick through your newly rolled taquito and fry it in a skillet with about enough hot oil in it to come at least one-quarter of the way up the sides of your taquitos. Fry them by rolling them over and over in the hot oil until all sides are crispy.
Next, remove them from your skillet and let them drain standing up on one end to let the oil drain completely out of them. (I usually put some paper towels or napkins at the bottom of a soup bowl to drain them.)
After they're drained, put them on a plate, scoop your guacamole on top of them and enjoy! Don't forget the hot sauce!
Chicken and Stuff a la Jive
I cook for three. Two of us have different dietary requirements than myself. So I cook in stages. When I finish this post, I am going to start a batch of Chicken and Stuff a la Jive.
Pack a slow cooker with bone-in chicken thighs and about half as much carrots and celery. Add equal parts soy sauce and either water or salt-free chicken broth to fill the gaps. Turn on high and wait about 2 3/4 hours. Turn it off when it starts bubbling. Allow it to cool with the lid on. (It will keep cooking.) When cool, separate the chicken, carrot/celery, and liquid. Refrigerate in three containers.
The congealed liquid (fat and jelly) may be used as sauce for kibble, or as stock for people food.
To make Jive food, place chicken and vegetables in separate pans. Add soy sauce and herbs to chicken. Heat in microwave or conventional oven. Melt salted butter over vegetables. Serve with cooked rice or whatever.
To make Dexter and Zoot food, debone chicken and discard bones. Combine two parts chicken, one part carrot/celery, two parts cooked rice or oat meal, and one part cooked sweet peas or sweet potato. Mix with doggy vitamin and mineral powder per instructions.

Homemade Sausage Gravy.
I'm too lazy to make the biscuits from scratch, so I go with Grand Butter-Tastin Biscuits.
My friends call me all the time for this gravy recipe, but it's super easy and delicious.
1 Pkg of Jimmy Dean Sage Sausage
5 heaping spoonfuls of flour
Brown the sausage in a skillet over medium heat.
When it is fully cooked, cover the sausage with 5 heaping spoonfuls of flour and mix it together. It will look really funny and dry.
Pour in milk over the sausage/flour mix until it is completely covered. Stir and cook over medium heat until it thickens (about 10 minutes)
Pepper to taste.
It's pretty much the greatest breakfast ever.
I made this gravy
once on my own before I saw your post. You're right, it's super easy and delicious!
Yams and apples
Reading all those Thanksgiving recipes reminded me of this little dish I dreamt up the other day, and everyone wants it to be added to the holiday line up. I thought that was about as high a praise as a recipe could get, and this is just so easy...
Peel and slice 1/4 thick both yams and apples at 2:1 ratio. 2 yams and 1 apple is about 1.5 servings.
Melt enough butter to well cover the bottom of a cast iron skillet. Layer the slices, potato on bottom and top, apple between. Over the apple, sprinkle a dusting of brown sugar. If you make a lot, dot with butter between additional layers. Bake at 350F for 45 minutes, or until potatoes are very soft.
Love or fear? Choose again with every breath.
Winter Squash Casserole
This has been a big hit 2 years running for Christmas Dinner (about 40 people) and most of them do not like squash, but they'll eat this!
- 2 each Butternut squash
- 2 each Acorn squash
- 1 can cream of mushroom soup
- 1 medium sliced onion
- 1 medium diced red bell pepper
- 1 lb Andouille Sausage
- 1/2 lb sliced portabellas
- 1 cup bread crumbs
- Preheat oven to 350º.
- Peel butternut & acorn squash, scoop out seeds and cube 1/2-3/4".
(seeds are good for roasting)
- Place squash chunks into large baking dish.
- Stir in veggies.
- Cut andouille lengthwise then slice 1/4" (diced) and add to mixture.
- Pour in cream of mushroom soup.
- Bake covered at 350º for 30-45 minutes, or until squash is tender.
- Cover with bread crumbs and bake uncovered an additional 5-10 minutes to brown.
Special Notes:
- Richard's Andouille is best if you can find it. It is already well seasoned and by dicing it you will release this seasoning into the dish. If all you can find is mild andouille, then you will also need to add salt and cayenne pepper before cooking. It is probably best to mix this seasoning into the soup before pouring it over the mixture. I use Richard's andouille for all my sausage dishes now. I no longer need to season gumbo, red beans & rice, etc. Diced andouille does the job perfectly. (ask your grocery to carry it in stock)
- Rabideaux's Pork and Venison sausage is also a great substitute. And great on the pit too!
Rabideaux's Sausage Kitchen - Iowa, La (337)582-3184 (That's pronounced "eye-oh-way")
- Regular mushrooms will do if you can't find portabellas.
- The soup is not necessary, but does make the dish a little creamier and helps the squash cook faster.
Can't wait
to try it, yeah!
Forgot to add a note
DO NOT precook the squash in place of peeling.
I tried the usual method the second time by halving the squash and pre-roasting in a bit of water to steam the pulp out.
This removed all moisture from the squash itself and the dish was very dry.
It might work however if you leave the squash whole, but peeling raw is the only other way I know of.
Why I don't cook at home
Too hilarious!
Love The Oatmeal.
My moms stuffing
in a pan crumple up pork sausage with sage, celery, onion, raisins salt and pepper. In a large bowl Toast bread tear in small pieces add diced apple add mixture from pan when cooked, toss add a couple eggs then put it all either into the turkey, a cookin bag, or a pan bake. Our family used to call it divorce dressing. LOL Because if my brothers wanted it they had to make it, and they did.

Chicken wings
Separate the wings into 3 pieces at the joints. Save the ends.
Put in a single layer on a sheet pan skin side up lightly salt and cook at 350 for about an hour.
After an hour turn them. Cook about 20 more minutes and start watching them, turn them back over and when the skin is good and crisp they are ready. They basically fry themselves in their own grease.
For the sauce I mix butter, hot sauce, garlic, and honey. I don't measure it just do it to taste.
Meanwhile the ends will have been cooking in a pot of water with carrots, celery, and onion. Then I pull out the wing ends and add brown rice, salt to taste.
Wings and brown rice. Usually I cook some broccoli also with it.

Super Easy Pizza Crust
I cook for a living and try to make most things from scratch.
This pizza crust is super fast and easy.
Put the following into a mixing bowl, let sit about 5 minutes until it looks foamy.
1 cup of warm water( not too hot or it will kill the yeast)
1 package of yeast
1 teaspoon of sugar
2 Tablespoons of oil
2 1/2 cups flour
Beat for a few minutes with a dough hook..if no dough hook, knead the dough for a few minutes with your hands on the counter.
Roll out or pull out the dough into a circle and top with pizza ingredients.
No need to allow the dough to rise but do spray your pan so the crust does not stick.
Bake @ 450 degrees.
You can also make quick easy bread sticks with this dough.
Thanks Candace

But your recipe would work with any meat, and I like your way of adding little bits of advice!
One of my friends liked to put fresh mint in her tea--it grew by the back porch, and her husband said it grew well there because he took a leak from the porch. Unsure of whether he was teasing or not, she did without the mint leaf!
Also, be very careful with wild rabbits as they carry tularemia. Cooking probably kills the germ, but make sure you wash well after skinning the critter. My dad was a trapper and got tularemia from skinning them.

THERMOELECTRIC ANTIPERCULATOR DEVICE FOR THE FUEL SYSTEM OF AN INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE Filed Dec. 13, 1967 a 440 lo I 11 L. 2 34a )Q-4OO I 66 5 u I C k:
. 64 E i pi fie H To 62 74 60 so i s? I l N as l2 FIGI -|O l4 '16 I f v GAS TANK FUEL PUMP FILTER CARBURETOR mvENToR RICHARD T. RACE j ATTORNEYS v United States Patent M US. Cl. 62-3 4 Claims ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A thermoelectric cooling device is mounted in the wall of the intake chamber of a fuel pump and in the float bowl of a carburetor to control the ambient temperature within th respective enclosures to eliminate perculating the fuel therein. A temperature sensitive resistor mounted within each of the enclosures is responsive to ambient temperature changes within the enclosure to vary the current through the thermoelectric cooling element to maintain the temperature of the enclosure below the boiling point of the fuel.
Background of the invention It is known that evaporative emission of hydrocarbons from automobile engines contribute greatly to smog conditions in big cities. The greatest part of these emissions is due to the perculating or boiling of the gasoline from the carburetor float bowl.
Furthermore, when the engine and/or gasoline is hot, and the car is idling or stopped, there is a possibility that the fuel will boil within the intake chamber of the fuel pump, resulting in vapor lock of the pump. Likewise, if the vent valve in the fuel bowl of the carburetor does not function properly during the soak period with the engine shut down, pressure can build up in the bowl and blow gas into the engine manifold thereby flooding the engine and requiring extensive cranking to start.
Summary of the invention It is an object of this invention to eliminate boiling of the fuel in the carburetor bowl of an internal combustion engine thereby reducing the amount of hydrocarbon emitted therefrom.
It is another object of this invention to reduce the chances for vapor lock in the fuel pump of an internal combustion engine.
It is a further object of this invention to prevent flooding of an internal combustion engine due to perculation in the carburetor bowl after the engine has been shut down.
In one embodiment of this invention, thermoelectric cooling elements are respectively mounted in a wall of the intake chamber of a fuel pump in an internal combustion engine and in a wall of the carburetor float bowl. A temperature sensitive resistor mounted in each of the enclosures is responsive to temperature changes therewithin to control a semiconductor switch, which is operable to control the current through the thermoelectric cooler element. Therefore, as the ambient temperature within the enclosures of the fuel pump and carburetor bowl rises, the resistance of the temperature sensitive resistor decreases operating the semiconductor switch to increase the current flow through the cooler element. The energized cooler elements remove heat from the enclosures and discharges it through a heat sink to th atmos phere thereby maintaining the temperature of the gasoline below the boiling point to prevent perculation and/ or evaporative emissions from the enclosures.
3,477,238 Patented Nov. 11, 1969 Description of the drawing FIG. 1 is a block diagram illustrating a basic fuel system for an internal combustion engine;
FIG. 2 is a side elevation view in cross-section of a carburetor of an internal combustion engine in accordance with this invention;
FIG. 3 is a side elevation view partially in cross-section of a fuel pump for an internal combustion engine in accordance with this invention; and
FIG. 4 is a schematic wiring diagram illustrating operation of the device of this invention.
Detailed description Referring to the drawing, FIG. 1 illustrates a basic fuel system for an internal combustion engine wherein a fuel pump 10 draws gase from a tank 12 and passes it through filter 1-4 to the carburetor 16. Air is mixed with the fuel in the carburetor 16 and is drawn therefrom into the internal combustion engine 18. When the engine is hot, especially during the warm summer months, the fuel, following engine shut down, has a tendency to boil and evaporate from the carburetor bowl of the fuel system. This evaporation puts hydrocarbons into the air adding significantly to smog conditions in big cities. This invention describes a unique device for preventng evaporation of the gasoline from this device when the engine is stopped and also during engine operation.
FIG. 2 represents a typical float-type carburetor 16 for an internal combustion engine. It includes an inlet valve 20 that is operated by a float mechanism 22, which controls the amount of gasoline within the float chamber or reservoir 24. The fuel is drawn from the chamber 24 through metering valve 26 and through the venturi tube 28 into the pipe 30' where the gasoline mixure is mixed with air and delivered to te engine manifold for firing the cylinders.
In accordance with this invention, Peltier-type thermoelectric heat pump or cooler 32 is mounted in the bottom wall of the float bowl housing 33. Peltier thermoelectric heat pumps are known in the art to provide a low impedance electro-responsive means for heating or cooling at a given thermo-junction depending upon the polarity of the direct current flowing through the device.
Thermoelectric cooler element 32 has fins 34 which extend into the carburetor float bowl chamber 24 and which are in contact with the fuel in the float bowl. A thin sheet of material 38 which has good heat conducting properties but acts as an electrical insulator, for example, mica, is bonded to one side of a heat sink 36 and the other side is bonded to the thermal cooling element 32. The mica strip permits heat to be conducted therethrough to the atmosphere through the heat sink 36 thereby providing a path for eliminating the heat from the cooler element 32 as current passes through it. Because the strip 38 is a good electrical insulator, it reduces the chance of an inadvertent grounding of the cooler element through the heat sink 36.
Also mounted within the chamber 24 is a temperature sensitive resistor or thermistor 40. A connection 42 is made from the thermistor to a control circuit indicated generally at 44 which will be described in more detail in conjunction with FIG. 4. A second set of conductors 46 extend from the circuit 44 and connect that circuit to the cooler element 32.
A coating 48 of an insulating material such as urethane foam is placed on the interior surfaces of the walls of the casing 34 to insulate the chamber from heat radiating from the exterior of the easing into the chamber.
Operation of the invention may be best understood by referring to FIG. 4, which shows a control circuit 44 that includes a semiconductor switch composed of transistors 50 and 52. A control potential is connected to the semiconductor switch from the engine battery 51 before the ignition switch 54 so that operation of the control circuit 44 is independent of the engine ignition system. Biasing resistor 56 has a suflicient value to bias off PNP transistor 50 with the temperature in the bowl at a predetermined level selected to be below the boiling point of the fuel. However, as the temperature rises in the cham' ber 24, the resistance of thermistor 40, which is a negative temperature coefficient device, decreases causing an increase of current flow through resistor 58. This increased current flow biases on NPN transistor 52, which in turn draws sufiicient current through resistor 56 to turn on transistor 50 thereby permitting current to flow in a direction thorugh the thermal cooler 32 to draw heat from the chamber 24. The heat is conducted through the mica strip 38 to the atmosphere through the heat sink 36 thereby cooling the chamber 24. The resistor 60 provides a positiv feedback in the thermistor circuit to insure a sharp triggering action for transistor 50. The values of the circuit components are chosen so that the temperature of the gasoline within the chamber 24 of the float bowl of carburetor 16 is maintained at a temperature below its boiling point to prevent vaporization of the gasoline.
FIG. 3 illustrates in more detail the fuel pump shown in the fuel system of FIG. 1. The fuel pump 10 includes a spring loaded diaphragm 60 which is operated by a cam (not shown) actuated arm 62 in the conventional manner. Movement of the diaphragm 60 in one direction draws fuel from the gas tank through the inlet 64 into the inlet chamber or reservoir 66 and through the inlet valve 68 into the pump chamber 70. Movement of the diaphragm in the opposite direction moves the fuel from the pump chamber 70 into the outlet chamber 72 and through the outlet valve 74 and outlet 76 to the filter 14.
A problem has existed in fuel pumps of this type that when the engine is shut down after running for sometime or during idling, and th fuel and engine are extremely hot, the fuel in the inlet chamber 66 evaporates so that the diaphragm 60 of the pump 10 loses suction causing a vapor lock of the fuel pump thereby starving the engine. In order to counteract this evaporation, the thermoelectric cooling element 32a, which is similar to the thermoelectric cooling element 32 described in conjunction with FIG. 2, is mounted in a wall of the casing 80 of pump 10. An insulating layer of urethane foam is deposited on the inner surface of the casing 80 between the casing and the walls of the casing 82 surrounding the inlet chamber 66. This provides insulation of the inlet chamber 66 from ambient temperatures surrounding the fuel pump.
A temperature sensitive resistor 40a is also positioned within the intake chamber 66 and is similar to the temperature sensitive resistor 40 in FIG. 2. A circuit 44a, which is similar to circuit 44 described in conjunction with FIG. 2, connects the temperature sensitive resistor 40a to the thermoelectric cooler 32a.
The fins 34a of cooler 32a extend into the chamber 66 and keep the ambient temperature therein at a predetermined level in the same manner as described for the thermoelectric cooler 32 to prevent the fuel within the chamber from boiling, thereby greatly reducing the chances of vapor lock of the pump.
It should be understood that although the temperature sensitive resistor elements 40 and 40a are each described as a negative temperature coefficient thermistor, a positive temperature coetficient device could be used by utilizing a semiconductor switch employing transistors of a different type. It is also contemplated within the scope of this invention that devices other than a thermistor controlled semiconductor switch could be used to control the flow of current through the thermoelectric cooler 32. For example, the other devices could include bimetallic or pressure switches, the former reacting to the temperature within the enclosures of the fuel pump and carburetor bowl and the latter being responsive to pressures built up in the enclosures due to temperature increases to vary the current through the cooler element.
What has been described, therefore, is a device for preventing the vaporization of the fuel in elements of a fuel system to which the fuel passes thereby reducing the emission of hydrocarbons in the air and preventing vapor lock.
What is claimed is:
1. A carburetor for an internal combustion engine, including in combination, a bowl for the engine fuel, a thermoelectric cooling element, means mounting said cooling element in said bowl, heat dissipating means, thermoconductive means coupling said cooling element to said heat dissipating means, and circuit means including a sensing element connected to said thermoelectric cooling element, said sensing element being responsive to the ambient temperature within said bowl to control the current through said circuit means and said thermoelectric cooling element thereby regulating the temperature of the fuel in the bowl to prevent the same from vaporizmg.
2. The carburetor of claim 1 wherein said thermoelectric cooling element is mounted in a wall of said bowl and extends into the closure thereof, said heat dissipating means is a heat sink, and said thermoconductive means is a layer of material having good thermoconductivity properties and poor electrical conducting properties, said layer of material being connected between said cooling element and said heat sink so that the heat can be dissipated from said cooling element through said heat sink to the atmosphere surrounding the carburetor.
3. The carburetor of claim 1 wherein said sensing element is a temperature sensitive resistor, the resistance of said resistor varying in accordance with the temperature in said bowl thereby controlling the current through said circuit means.
4. The carburetor of claim 1 further including insulating means covering the interior walls of said bowl thereby insulating the closure of said bowl from heat in the air surrounding the same.

gwvmfvloz William ZCamer Patented Aug. 30, 1932 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE WILLIAI T. COMER, OF ATLANTA, GEORGIA, ASSIGNOR T CRYSTAL CARBONIO LAIBO- RATORY, OF ATLANTA, GEORGIA, A CORPORATION OF GEORGIA PROCESS AND APPARATUS FOR PRODUCING FROZEN CON FECTIONS Application led October 6, 1830. Serial No. 486,792.
The invention relates to frozen confections and has as an object'the provision of a process of producing frozen confections by a continuous method whereby they may be produced cheaply and rapidly.
It'is a further object of the invention, to provide a process of producing frozen confections in the form of fingers or pencils of confection which may or may not be enclosed in a casing as produced.
It is a further object of the invention to provide a novel form of frozen confection enclosed in a casing whereby the confection may be consumed out of hand without contact of the fingers with the edible 'portion of the confection.
It is a further object ofthe invention to provide an apparatus for carrying out the process of the invention.
Further objects of the invention will appear from the following'description when read in connection with the accompanying drawing showing an illustrative embodiment of the invention, and wherein Fig. 1 is a centralvertical section of the apparatus for carrying out the process showing in dotted lines a position into which the freezing apparatus may be moved; and
Figs. 2 and 3 are transverse sections respectively on lines 2 2 and 3 3 of Fig. 1.
In accordance with the invention a frozen confection may be produced in the form of frozen fruit pulp, ice cream, orices, which material may if desired be enclosed in a casing for sanitary protection whereby it may be conveniently eaten out of hand.
To carry out the process of the invention the apparatus illustrated is shown as comprising an extruding device in the form of a cylinder 10 having a piston 11 reciprocable therein by means of which the material to be frozen indicated at 12 may be caused to extrude from a nozzle as 13.
If a casing is to be supplied over the frozen confection, a normally flexible tube 14 of ma terial as transparent glassine or any of the usual casings which are provided for stuffing with frankfurt sausages may 'be gathered upon the nozzle 13 and the end thereof tied as indicated at 15, whereupon extrusion of the material 12 from the nozzle will carry the filled casing off from the nozzle.
To freeze the material as extruded, there is shown an open-ended cylinder 16 surrounded by a freezing chamber 17 closed at its ends and preferably provided with heat insulation material 18.
To intensely chill the walls of the tube 16, there is shown diagrammatically a carbon dioxide compressor 19 having its output connected by means of pipe 20 with the interior of the chamber 17 and having its intake also connected by means of a pipe 21 with the interior of the chamber. The compressor 19 desirably compresses the carbon dioxide to liquefaction and the expansion of the same in the chamber 17 produces carbon dioxide snow which evaporating in the chamber cools the tube 1,6 so intensity as to substantially instantaneously freeze the confection as it passes through the tube 16.
The chamber 17 is shown as placed in spaced relation to the nozzle 13 for purpose of placement of the casing 14 on the nozzle 13. After such placing the chamber 17 may be moved to a position closely adjacent the end of the nozzle 13 into the position shown in dotted lines so that the freezing will take place immediately as the material leaves the nozzle. By a reasonably deliberate extrusion, the material will be frozen as fast as extruded and will be projected from the tube 16 in frozen condition where sections of the tubing may be broken or cut oil' for use.
In order to separate the material into readily removable sections, provision is made for introducing spacing discs 22 into the stream of extruded material. To this end a slot 23 is shown in the upper ortion of the nozzle 13 into which discs pre erably in superposed airs may be insertedat desired intervals to be carried along with the stream of extruded material.
After the material is frozen the casing 14 may then be severed between the discs of'each pair thus roviding a finger or pencil of frozen con ection enclosed in a casing closed at each end by means of an inserted disc. The casing 14 may then be stripped o if as required by'consumption or if the casing 14 1s made of edible material it may be eaten with the confection.
In accordance with one use of the process, peach pulp has been frozen providing a delil cious frozen confection.
Minor changes ma;7 be made in the hysical embodiment of the lnvention or in tide steps of the process within the scope of the appended claims without departing from the spirit l0 of the invention.
I claim:
1. The process of producin a frozen confection which comprises extruing confection material, introducing separating discs into 1| the stream of extrusion and freezing the material as fast as extruded.
2. The process of producing a frozen confection which comprises extruding confection vmaterial into a tubular casing, introducing I0. separating discs into the stream of extrusion t-o be therewith introduced into the casing, freezing the material as fast as extruded and separating the frozen material and casing into sections adjacent the discs.
3. The process of producing a frozen confection which comprises extruding confection material into a tubular casing, introducing pairs of superposed separating discs into the stream of extrusion to be therewith introl0 duced into the casing, freezin the material as fast as extruded and separatm the frozen material and casing between the ses of each pair into sections closed at each end by one of said discs.
35 4. Apparatus for producing a frozen confection comprising, in combination, extrusion means, means for introduction of separating discs into a stream of material extruded thereby and means adjacent the point of emission 40 to freeze the material as it passes from the extrusion means.
