I love this Apricot scrub by St Ives!!!!!
I've been using this product for at least a year now and still love it!
I've gone through so many skin care products from suffering with moderate acne when I was in high school. Whole sets from expensive brands like Clinique and everything you could imagine.
Honestly I hardly even have a skincare regime anymore. Makeup wipes along with this scrub are all that I use now and it does really prevent pimples and blackheads. Obviously I still get the occasional pimple here and there or a couple when I switch makeup brands or accidentally sleep with my makeup on (which I HATE but if I've had a big night it happens sometimes).
I use this scrub twice a day in the morning and at night. It smells really lovely and because it does have the beads in it - you only need to rub it into your face lightly in small circular motions.
LOVE IT! I don't see the reason behind except for microtears but I don't use it as a facial scrub but a body scrub, I get horrible acne on my back, almost like boils until I started using this! After the first use on my body I noticed the redness was gone and in a few hours my spots were gone! I always stock up when it's on sale (have 3 spare ones in my draw) apply a generous amount all over your body and then wash with your body wash and it'll feel AMAZING! Perfect, I'll keep buying this body scrub as long as I can, it makes me glow, gets rid of acne on my back, and makes my overall skin looks so nice! Not to mention how cheap it is and how much you get! (Wouldn't use on my face as it's too rough, those of you who use on their faces should try on their body and you WONT regret it!) 100% recommend it!
3 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This product didn't do much for me besides the usual scrubbing. It didn't really combat breakouts or blackheads and so I will not be repurchasing this item.
always use this or the regular one as my scrub, does not break me out wen I use it every other day, so much better than other drugstore brands like clean and clear, Neutrogena...
I used this for a while back in the 90's. I still have little broken blood vessels from it. Also, the grit clogged up the bathroom sink drain badly.
5 out of 6 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
It causes microtears in your skin.
9 out of 14 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
It was nice and all but after the next few days of using it, my face started to break out even more than it has before I wore it. I now have breakouts on places I've never had before.
Love this scrub! I use it every night after I have cleansed my face with my Clarisonic Mia. The scrub may be kind of harsh for people with sensitive skin. So be very gentle when using this product!
I love this scrub! It smells great, makes my skin so smooth, and really does help with my breakouts. I use this twice a week when I'm in the shower. I'd recommend using this after you've cleansed your face for the best results. The next morning my face is like baby and makeup goes on fantastic. Be careful because this could be too harsh for sensitive skin, so make sure to rub in gently! I love this and I think everyone should use it :-D
I have oily t-zone but dry on my cheeks, this is perfect for the morning the scrub is gentle but it cleans very well and leaves your skin smooth afterwards! That is what shocked me the most is it made my skin smooth. I have used this two times, it lasts pretty long :)

Ian Hunter and the Rant Band + Wreckless Eric and Amy Rigby
Sat Sep 6
- $$
Time Out says
Posted: Thu Mar 15 2012
Fueled musically by Little Richard and Jerry Lee Lewis, Ian Hunter joined Mott the Hoople in 1969, becoming the group's vocalist, songwriter and focal point (the corkscrew hair and shades remain). Mott recorded four influential albums before David Bowie's "All the Young Dudes" launched the band to superstardom. Hunter has enjoyed a successful solo career, as well. Expect gritty yet bighearted roots-rock fare from Hunter and his Rant Band. Also on board is the charming folk-punk collaboration between English singer-songwriter Eric Goulden and "mod housewife" Amelia McMahon.

William James Middle School and Langston Chapel Middle School will meet in the first round of the region football playoffs Wednesday, at 5 p.m.
he season for one high school sport is starting to wind down and another is already midway through the state playoffs, but there are still a handful of area teams that are either in contention for a title or at least looking back on a great season.
SAVANNAH - Bulloch Academy went from despair to triumph in one play Friday night at M.C. Anderson Field.
Metter, GA - After a sloppy first quarter, the Savannah Christian Raiders (7-0, 4-0) hit the gas against the Metter Tigers (3-4, 3-3) and never looked back.
EVANS - Statesboro is usually a straightforward team, but decided to shake things up.
PORTAL - For the second game in a row, the Portal Panthers didn't attempt a pass.
PORTAL - Even die-hard Portal fans might have been surprised to see the score roll in from Twin City last week.
Statesboro has already avenged on of its losses from last season. Tonight, it hits the road to take a shot at notching some more payback.
BROOKLET - Jefferson County would love to get into a shootout with Southeast Bulloch.
For Bulloch Academy, the road to the playoffs goes through Savannah.
BROOKLET - Sierra Peebles pitched a pair of complete game gems and Effie Manahan knocked in five runs as Southeast Bulloch swept its best-of-three series against Monticello Thursday afternoon in the first round of the GHSA Class AA state playoffs.
Stratford Academy rode the arm of Sloan Sibley, the bats of Morgan Long, Carmen Russett, Lexi Rouse and Caroline Avant and the defense of Andi Shilling to sweep Bulloch Academy in the second round of the GISA Class AAA playoffs Thursday.
BROOKLET - An impressive regular season proved that Southeast Bulloch deserved to be among the 32 teams competing for the GHSA Class-AA title, the journey through the state playoffs begins today.
As the 2011 softball season began, Chandler Dennard had two goals for his team - win a region championship and make it to the Final Four.
PEMBROKE - There wasn't much Tiffany Howard didn't do in Bryan County's first GHSA Class A state playoff matchup.
The Portal Panthers started the year with back-to-back wins, but they knew the schedule would get tougher as the year went on.
In 2009, Barack Obama was sworn in as the 44th president of the United States of America and the nation's first African-American commander-in-chief. Pilot Chelsey B. "Sully" Sullenberger successfully crash landed a U.S. Airways jetliner with 155 people on board in the Hudson River.
Struggles at the beginning of the season put Statesboro in an unfamiliar spot.
BROOKLET - Southeast Bulloch has passed the first test, but there is still plenty more work to be done.
SYLVANIA - When Ron Duncan arrived at Screven County prior to the 2012 season, the Gamecocks were in a decade-long rut.
Halfway through the season, the Metter Tigers found themselves with their backs against the wall.
PORTAL - The Portal Panthers celebrated their homecoming two weeks ago, but a few more alums will get an encore performance when Jenkins County comes to town on Friday night.
BROOKLET - Since taking over at Southeast Bulloch in 2010, head coach Pat Collins has been consistent with his plans for the Yellow Jackets.
DUBLIN - Bulloch Academy's Lanier Olliff and Will Rushing combined for just 16 carries, but the duo amassed 216 yards and five touchdowns as they led the Gators to a dominating 42-16 victory over Trinity Christian School in GISA Region 2-AAA action at Cleve Warnock Stadium Friday night.
Statesboro entered Friday night's game on a two-game winning streak, but the top-ranked Gators from Ware County brought it to a screeching halt.
BROOKLET - It's safe to say that the rough start for Southeast Bulloch is all but forgotten.

Platanus occidentalis
American Sycamore, Buttonwood
Deciduous, Trees
These trees are all large, with a heavy trunk (or trunks) and a sculptural branch pattern. Older bark sheds in patches to reveal pale, smooth new bark beneath. Big, rough-surfaced leaves (to 10 in. across) have three to five lobes and resemble maple (Acer) leaves. Fall foliage color is yellowish to brown, not striking. Ball-shaped brown seed clusters, usually on threadlike stalks, hang on the bare branches through winter; these are prized for winter arrangements. Best in rich, deep, moist, well-drained soil. All are subject to anthracnose, which causes early leaf drop and twig dieback. Rake up and dispose of dead leaves, since fungus spores can overwinter on them. Chlorosis may be a problem in the desert.Platanus occidentalis
Native to the eastern U.S. Has a long leafless period. Irregular habit, contorted branches. Occasionally grows with multiple or leaning trunks. Old trees near streams sometimes reach huge size. Best in a large wild garden.

A drunken Brookfield man searching for a place to sleep tried to get caught stealing so he could spend the night in a jailhouse bed, police said.
An officer saw the man steal a number plate from a sign at a gas station at 2:41 a.m. Friday, according to Brookfield police.
When asked why he took the plate, the man said he was drunk and desperate for a warm bed - at any cost.
The man was not cited, and was released to his mother.

Kukla's Korner Hockey

Don't Even Call Them Hockey Fans
by Paul on 04/01/08 at 08:07 PM ET
Comments (0)
from the Calgary Sun,
The early Sunday morning beating of an Oilers jersey-clad Andrew Parker on 4 St. S.W. by who he described as four or five men wearing Flames sweaters is being investigated by city police.
Flames boss Ken King said if it's true, the team would immediately disown such fans.
"We have no interest in having any fans who'd even think of doing such a thing," said King while on his way to Edmonton to attend tonight's Flames-Oilers game.
"I'd be happy to invite them back and refund their jersey money and not be associated with them or have them in our building or at any other event."

Flames Building For The Future Too
by Paul on 03/30/08 at 11:23 AM ET
Comments (0)
from Eric Francis of the Calgary Sun,
Yes, the Oil leads the league with 12 double-digit goal scorers, despite icing 16 players under age 26.
But simply put, the Flames are the envy of the NHL in terms of building blocks for the future.
Defying conventional wisdom that suggested the salary cap era would prohibit clubs from collecting superstars as used to be the case with the old New York Rangers or Detroit Red Wings, Darryl Sutter has four of the league's very best locked up for the next six years.
With the game's best leader (Jarome Iginla), most complete and feared defenceman (Dion Phaneuf), a Vezina-winning goalie (Miikka Kiprusoff) and one of the top stay-at-home defenders (Robyn Regehr) all inked to lengthy extensions this year, the Flames are essentially guaranteed to avoid the type of sorry season the Oilers had last year.

Flames Should Be Working With Huselius
by Paul on 03/29/08 at 10:01 AM ET
Comments (0)
from Randy Sportak of the Calgary Sun,
For all of his flaws—some real and some imagined by his detractors—Huselius is still arguably the most gifted offensive player on Calgary's roster.
His passing skills are rivalled only by Alex Tanguay's, but he's much more willing to shoot the puck in scoring areas, so that makes Huselius very dangerous in the offensive zone, especially on the powerplay.
He's more than capable of scoring that big goal at the right time, which is a big deal come playoff time.
As for those who say he disappears when the games get more physical, they're dead wrong.

Huselius Has Been There Before
by Paul on 03/28/08 at 10:17 AM ET
Comments (0)
from Eric Francis of the Calgary Sun,
At the tail end of a brief interview following yesterday's practice, Kristian Huselius was asked if he'd dealt with being a healthy scratch before.
"I did in Florida," said Huselius, before adding a telling kicker as he walked away to abruptly cut short his first comments on the benching: "with him, so…"
"Him" being coach Mike Keenan, the man who relegated the healthy winger to the press box Tuesday as part of their latest clash in philosophies.
Back in 2003, when the two last worked together, Huselius was, by several accounts, a regular target of the demanding coach despite reaching the 20-goal mark in each of his first two NHL seasons.
Stories of Keenan loudly berating young Huselius for soft or indifferent play still circulate around Miami's tiny hockey circles.

Is Phaneuf Norris Worthy
by Paul on 03/27/08 at 10:05 AM ET
Comments (0)
from Bruce Dowbiggin of the Calgary Herald,
And it begs the question whether the precocious 22-year-old should now be mentioned along with the Nick Lidstroms and Chris Prongers as a candidate for the Norris. As a human highlight reel leading Calgary to first place during the past two weeks, it's getting harder to argue that Phaneuf's time isn't now. He eats up ice time and has the knack of being his most competitive in the big games. He has won the enmity of opposing players for his nasty side.
It comes down to your idea of how complete a defenceman needs to be to qualify.

Three Are The Key For Flames
by Paul on 03/26/08 at 02:55 PM ET
Comments (0)
from Eric Duhatschek of the Globe and Mail,
When Calgary wins, the formula for success is as simple 1-2-3.
1. Kiprusoff outplays the goalie at the other end of the rink. When he's engaged, the Finn moves well, plays big, covers lots of net, and generally limits the bad goals that he allows to a manageable few.
2. Iginla, the perfect captain, rallies the troops, by word and deed, with a manner that is rare in today's NHL. With the team touch-and-go just to make the playoffs, he has turned in a first-star performance in virtually every win they've had over the past two weeks.
3. Phaneuf.

Phaneuf The Humanitarian
by Paul on 03/26/08 at 08:28 AM ET

from the Calgary Flames,
The Calgary Flames Hockey Club announced Tuesday Dion Phaneuf has been named the recipient of the Ralph T. Scurfield Humanitarian Award. The Scurfield Award is presented each year to the Flames player who best exemplifies the qualities of perseverance, determination and leadership on the ice, combined with dedication to community service.
In his third professional season, defenceman Dion Phaneuf has not only established himself as an elite player but has also proven he is a proud Albertan who truly understands how important it is to use his profile to enhance the work of local charities and make a positive impact on his community.

Phaneuf Is A Punk
by Paul on 03/25/08 at 08:26 AM ET
Comments (0)
from Adrian Dater of All Things Avs,
Phaneuf is a punk, by the way. And some day he's going to get his, and it's not going to be pretty for him. He's going to hit one backside of a player too many, and somebody is going to rip that shield off his face and hand him his teeth….
This is a 22-year-old guy, at the top of his physical powers and who really has a lot of talent. But he doesn't play an honorable game.
He hits you when your back is turned. Then, when you get mad about it and try to hit him back, he backs away and hides behind his shield, mouthing off. He's got a lot of Bill Laimbeer in him.

Give The Hart To Iginla
by Paul on 03/23/08 at 10:50 PM ET
Comments (0)
from Ross McKeon of Yahoo,
People in Washington and Pittsburgh won't like to hear this, but if the season were to end today, Jarome Iginla is the league's most valuable player.
The Hart Trophy race has never been so hotly contested. The competition is very much a reflection of close races, parity throughout the NHL and certainly a trickle-down effect of what a salary-cap system means to the league overall.
But the 30-year-old Edmonton native, who captains the provincial rival Calgary Flames, is the choice. He may not have as many goals and not as many points as others, but Iginla is the living, breathing, skating definition of the award: the player adjudged to be the most valuable to his team.

Affected Models include:
AUDIENCE: Emergency Medicine, Cardiology, Risk Manager
ISSUE: FDA notified healthcare professionals and medical care organizations of the Class 1 recall of the listed AEDs which contain a component that may fail unexpectedly due to a defect. If the component were to fail during a rescue attempt, the AED may not deliver defibrillation therapy, causing serious adverse health consequences, including death. The unit's self test may not detect the failure or impending failure of the component.
BACKGROUND: These products are used for emergency treatment of victims showing symptoms of sudden cardiac arrest who are unresponsive and not breathing. These AEDs were manufactured and distributed from July 1, 2011 through December 30, 2011.
RECOMMENDATION: Affected customers are advised to contact the firm to arrange for delivery of shipping materials for an immediate return of their AEDs for repair. The affected devices will receive a hardware correction, and the same serial number device will be returned to the customer in most cases.

When it comes to flying first class, the thrill is gone, some experts say. Deregulation has "hugely democratized" the skies, said Gary Leff, a founder of milepoint.com, a frequent-flier community. Since deregulation in the late 1970s, low-cost carriers were introduced. Later, the industry was dealt blows with 9/11, rising fuel costs and the recession, resulting in an extended era of cost-cutting. The development of loyalty programs also allowed members to pay for upgrades with miles, further eroding the cache of first class.

- Another Doc Fords WinnercaptivatoniDined on 10/9/2014I've always enjoyed the food at Doc Fords in Sanibel and Fort Myers Beach...but the food in Captiva seemed to be even better! Will definitely go back!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Yucatan Shrimp are a must!MagnoliaDined on 9/26/2014We thoroughly enjoyed our Doc Ford's dinner before the Island Hopper Festival events last Friday. My Ceviche and Yucatan shrimp were delicious. I love spicy and the shrimp were perfectly spicy! My husband's paella was chock full of seafood. My friend's shrimp and grits dish got a thumbs up from him. We also enjoyed the music from songwriters who were performing in an adjacent room. A great night!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great family restaurant!OpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 8/29/2014Ate here twice during our stay in Captiva. They were very accommodating for our large group of 3 families (5 kids).

- Great casual dining on CaptivaCreativelyswankDined on 7/12/2014In the area for a hockey tournament this proved to be hit with our group. The grits alone were worth the trip, so delightfully cheesy with just the right hint of heat. There were no complaints about any of the items we ordered, everything was fresh and flavorful. Service was top notch. Not the place I'd go for a romantic evening but perfect for families and groups.Special Features:
- Best on CaptivaOpenTable Diner Since 2003VIPDined on 7/2/2014We really enjoyed Doc Ford's. Started w/ the Jerk Chicken faltbread ( can get gluten free crust) and yukatan shrimp for 4 people to share. Loved both. Main course, fish taco's, snapper and grilled shrimp. Drinks were great, waitress was great. Didn't let us over order.Special Features:
- Not worth the $$GdEatsDined on 7/2/2014Children's menu left much to bd desired. Husband ordered a salad which was wilted and I paid 28.95 for a scallop dish that was horrible. Never again. Name, location, and ambience can't make up for pricey, below average meals.

I can recommend this restaurant without hesitation!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Horrible foodJudieBDined on 3/30/2014Not sure where these great reviews came from but our food was TERRIBLE. Tasted like it came off a Sysco truck. Certainly no self respecting chef would put out such awful food. Island Style Shrimp tasted old and certainly not fresh, and had no "island" flavor. It was mushy. Clam chowder was tasteless and had the consistency of paste. The drunkin parrot carrot cake was supposed to have rum on it but no rum tasted and it was very dry and tasteless, however the frosting was good. Waste of money. Touristy. Loud. Waiter was nice but inexperienced and never did ask how we liked our food, which most of mine was left on the plate. When he asked about the dessert, if we liked it, we said no it wasn't good. No response except to give us our bill.Special Features:

- Good, Upscale Pub FoodTheFamilyDined on 3/29/2014Doc Fords seems to be trying to do a little bit of everything in this venue -- family restaurant, upscale pub, sports bar and more. On the whole, I'd describe it as upscale pub food. The space is generous and maybe even too open We dined twice as a family and had good experiences both time. The food was above average and the service was attentive. Despite being kid-friendly, the food on their kids' menu comes in adult sizes and portion --can be good or bad but is worth considering. Odd thing to note about the reservations -- we made one for a party of three weeks in advance and all worked out well. When we tried on short notice, they said reservations were only for large groups.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Food and ambienceFoodnut2Dined on 3/27/2014Food and ambience just so-so. Three of us ate....fish fingers were very good. Fish sandwich limp, soggy and barely warm. Ribs cooked w/o sauce. Sauce put on afterwards. Chowder too thick and not remarkable. Seating just like every eating place in America, i.e. Chains.

- Fun Outdoor Seating w/Great FoodAliceDined on 3/9/2014We enjoyed our dinner so much we went back for a second dinner. We sat outside on the patio both times which I would strongly suggest. Inside feels very bar like and not the kind of place we would have enjoyed on our quick escape from snow. The food was great. We enjoyed grilled grouper, mahi mahi, fish tacos, flatbread pizza, hamburger - all delicious with a decent nod towards health Service was good. Prices reasonable. Good for families, young and old.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Work in ProgressMarkFromHomewoodDined on 3/8/2014This is a shiny, recent addition to the Doc Fords family of bustling restaurants, with a prime Captiva location at the entrance to the sprawling South Seas Plantation. We were excited to secure a reservation for a special occasion, but ended up happy to go. The food was fine. The restless ambiance was inappropriate for a 60th anniversary meal. The service was as indifferent and inattentive. We were seated on a cocktail-sized table in front of a bandstand on live music night. So much for conversation. Our server was disengaged. The wrong plates were brought to the table. The beverages were not replenished during the meal. This is out of character with other visits to Doc Fords, and I expect improvements as this location gets it's legs.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- captive audience on CaptivaLilMsFoodieDined on 2/1/2014our group of four had a good sampling of what this Doc's has to offer: oysters (raw), ceviche, quinoa salad, fish taco and steak. I think everyone liked their food but I felt my fish tacos, something Doc's has prided itself on since opening on Sanibel 10 years ago, were indifferent and the beans and rice accompaniment was worthy of a frozen dinner. No salsa with the taco and nothing offered. Tacos get a 3/10...edible but not much more. Our server wasn't very good. That is a problem on Captiva where business is always feast or famine. Good servers get picked off by other restaurants. While the location can not compare with the shrimp docks of Fort Myers Beach or Sanibel's Rum Bar, this restaurant had little character.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Snowden's run: Obama the dupe
Obama never accepted that China, Russia, Iran and North Korea were malefactors. He thought they antagonized us because we antagonized them first. They have taken advantage of this stupendous naivete since Day 1. Now China has exported our most-wanted leaker to Russia. Obama says through a spokesman this will "damage" our relationship with China. Like they care. The President just got rolled, again, by foreign leaders who understand the Machiavellian nature of international relations. We have four more years of these humiliations to endure.

Description (OCR text may contain errors)
July 2, 1963 v D. A. RlCHlNS 3,096,505
BRAKELIGHT SYSTEM Filed May 25, 1962 INVENTOR.
DAVID A. RlCHiNS BYW Hl ATTORNEY United rates atent encases BRAKELHGHT SYSTEM David A. Richins, Echo, Utah Filed May 25, 1962, Set. No. 197,783 2 Claims. (Cl. Mil-69) The present invention relates to brakelight systems and, more particularly, to a new and improved brake-lighting system which is adapted for use with fluid (air or liquid) operated brakes such as air-brakes and hydraulic brakes.
In contrast with prior attempts to relate brakelight intensity to braking action, the present invention, rather than being mechanically linked to brake pedal movement, is made responsive to the fluid pressure produced by braking action so that the degree thereof is accurately reflected in the intensity of the brake lights of the vehicle incorporated in the system. In this manner serious indication errors, as would otherwise be the case for lowfluid level of the master cylinder or otherwise produced, excessive brake pedal travel prior to brake set, are avoided.
Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a new and improved brakelight system wherein the intensity and/or character of brakelight display is directly related to and in fact actuated by the fluid pressure experienced by the brakes of the vehicle incorporated in the present system.
A further object of the present invention is to provide an electro-mechanical system responsive to increases in fluid pressure at the brake lines of a conventional fluid braking system for actuating electro-mechanically desired electrical components so that the character of current supply to the brakelights of the vehicle may be progressively and desirably altered.
A further object of the present invention is to provide a new and improved, automatic switching system in connection with pressure cylinder plunger used so that the latter, upon translation due to increased pressure within the pressure cylinder, will automatically cut in desired electrical components such as brakeligh-ts. I
A further object of the present inven-tion is to provide a new and improved, fluid operated brakelight system which is reliable, extremely versatile in use, and inexpensive to manufacture.
A further object of the present invention is to provide a fluid operated brakelight system which is responsive to brake pressure at the wheels for giving a desired indication of the degree of braking applied, thereby warning drivers to the rear of the vehicle being braked as to the manner and degree of the braking action thereof.
The features of the present invention which are believed to be novel are set forth with particularity in the appended claims. The present invention, both as to its organization and manner of operation, together with further objects and advantages thereof, may best be understood by reference to the following description, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings in which:
FIGURE 1 is a vertical section, largely in schematic form, of the apparatus which may be used with a conventional fluid braking system to accomplish the purposes intended by the invention.
FIGURE 2 is a schematic diagram of a substitute portion of the circuit shown in FIGURE 1.
In FIGURE 1 is illustrated in schematic form an automobile fluid (hydraulic or air, for example) braking system 10, for example, having a brake pedal actuator 11 which, upon depression thereof, increases the fluid pressure of the fluid in line 12 leading to the brakes of the vehicle. An auxiliary fluid outlet 13 is coupled from line 12 by means of line 14; accordingly, upon depression of brake pedal 11, the fluid pressure will increase not only at brake line 12 but also at auxiliary line 14 leading to auxiliary fluid outlet 13. The latter is fixedly secured or otherwise made integral with a pressure cylinder 15 into which hydraulic fluid under actuated pressure flows. Pressure cylinder 15 is supplied with a plunger 16 which may be of any conventional form and, in the embodiment shown, includes a head 17 and a stem 13. Stops 19 are disposed within and fixedly secured to pressure cylinder 15 and limit the outward travel of plunger 16 under the spring pressure of compression spring 2!). Compression 20 will be seated against sealing abutment 21 of pressure cylinder 15.
The stem 18 is supplied with a cam surface 22 which, in the embodimentshown, is shown as a detent or relieved area. A protuberance could equally serve as well as will be seen hereinafter. Switch means 23 is mounted to the cylinder wall 24 of pressure cylinder 15, as shown, and includes contacts 25 and 26 which are secured in place as shown and are respectfully coupled by electrical leads 27 and 28 to terminal C and to contact 29, respectively. The electrical circuit involved will be considered hereinafter. Switch means 23 includes a plunger 30 having a cam finger 31 which rides upon the stem 18 and, when the latter is translated in the direction to the right of the viewer, upon relieved cam surface 22. Protuberance or enlarged area 32 depresses plunger 30 against compression spring 33 so that the shorting bar 34 of plunger 30 remains out of contact with the two contacts 25 and 26. When, however, the plunger 16 is caused to move to the right under the influence of in creased fluid pressure within the pressure cylinder 15, then cam finger 31 will ride down cam surface 22 so as to permit the closing of switch means 23.
Enlarged portion or protuberance 32 may be considered to be a portion of the cam surface 22 and, in any event, operates to retain the switch 23 in open condition when fluid pressure within the pressure cylinder 15 are minimal or non-existent (as is the case, for example, when the pedal is not being actuated).
If needed, plunger 16 may be provided with a fluid seal by conventional packing means 35 in any even-t, plunger 16 includes a lateral arm 36 and a preferably included, rearwardly extending finger 37. Arm 36 is supplied with an aperture 37 for receiving guide bar 38 of rheostat 39.
While a rheostat 39 is illustrated, it is obvious that other electrical techniques may be incorporated in lieu thereof, such as a voltage divider or other means, for varying, in accordance with the depression of plunger 16, the electrical current supplies to brakelight means 40. Again, the operation of the electrical circuit will be hereinafter described.
A housing 41 of any convenient form, encases the struc ture of the present invention. Mounted thereto is an insulative base 42 to which is hinged, by hinge pin 43, a switch 44. Switch arm 45 is conveniently, electrically conductive and includes contacts 46 and 47, is hinged to insulative base 42 by conductive pin 43 which is electrically connected by lead 48 to battery 49. The remaining side of the battery is grounded at 50 as shown. Switch 44 also includes a leaf 51 having contact 52 which is normally open or disconnected with respect to contact 4-6. Leaf 51 is secured by insulative mount'53 to arrn45 but is electrically non-conductive with respect thereto except for those conditions present wherein contacts52 and 46 are, in engagement. Protuberance 54 may simply serve as a fulcrum point for the resilient, springy arm 51.
Fixedly secured to insulative base 42 is a switch arm 55 having contact 56 normally in engagement with contact 47. Contacts 46 and 47, being integral with or otherwise affixed to the arm 45, are in electrically conductive relationship therewith. A mechanical spring 57 ismounted 3 to insulative base 42 and, by its finger 58 engages the arm 45, pivoting the same about pin 43 so as to insure the electrical contact of contacts 56 and 47 in the absence of pressure exerted by finger 37 upon the over-all switch 44.
The operation of the circuit as thus far described is as follows. In the absence of the application of brake pressure (or the existence of very slight brake pressure), then there will be no depression of plunger 16. As a consequence, switch means 23 will be open so that brakelight 40 will not be conducting electrical current. However, an increase in fluid pressure within pressure cylinder 15 will depress plunger 16 somewhat so that cam finger 31 will slide down the cam surface 22, thereby permitting switch means 23 to close. It is noted that lead 60 connects terminal C to one side of brakelight means 40; the remaining side of brakelight means 46 is connected by lead 61 to ground. Hence, a buildup in pressure within cylinder 15 (owing to a slight depression of brake pedal 11), will depress plunger 16 within pressure cylinder 15 so that, in addition to switch means 23 becoming closed in manner as hereinbefore described, the sliding contact 61 of rheostat 39, which contact slides along rheostat coil 62 in a conventional manner, reduces the number of turns of the coil between battery 49 and brakelight means 40 so as to reduce the electrical resistance ofiered to the circuit by rheostat 39. Upon further progressive depression of the plunger 16, less and less electrical resistance is oifered by rheostat resistance coil 62 to the circuit so that the brakelight means 46 will become increasingly brighter, conducting as it does increased current. It is to be observed that the circuit is completed through the light 40, leads 60 and 27, switch means 23, electrically conductive arm 36 and contact 61, rheostat coil 62 and lead 65, arm 55, through contacts 56 and 47 back to the other side of battery 49. It will be noted that the contacts 56 and 47 remain closed provided finger 37 has not advanced sufiiciently to the right so as to produce the engagement of contacts 52 and 46 and the disengagement of contacts 56 and 47. However, at its extremity of travel the plunger 16 will advance to the fartherrnost or extremity regions or" its movement to the right so that finger 37 will in fact come into engagement with switch 44 so as to produce contact between electrical contacts 52 and 46 and the disengagement of contacts 56 and 47 against the action of spring 57.
The remaining portion of the circuit will now be discussed. Contact 46 is connected through switch arm 45 and pin 43 to battery 49. Electrical lead 66 is electrically connected to leaf 51in a conventional manner and leads to terminal B. Remaining lead 67 connects to circuit breaker (or flasher) 63 the opposite side of which is connected by lead 69 to junction 70. Junction 70 is electrically connected to the remaining side of brakelight means 40.
Thus, in operation the translation of finger 37 to the right, so as to produce the engagement of contacts 52 and 46 and the disengagement of contacts 56 and 47, interrupts the former circuit as before explained by removing battery voltage of battery 49 from lead 65. However, an additional portion of the circuit comes now into operation by virtue of the engagement of contacts of 52. and 46 and the conduction therethrough of battery voltage through lead 66, 67, circuit breaker 68, lead 69, junction 70 to the brakelight means 40. As to unit 68, the same is referred to as a circuit breaker or flasher in the industry. It will normally comprise a bi-metallic strip, as illustrated in FIGURE 2, or other suitable means. In any event, what is had now is an interruption of the rheostat circuit 62 and an almost simultaneous energization of the circuit breaker or flasher 68 which leads to brakelight means 40. Unit 68 serves to supply intermittent electrical current surges to the brakelight means 40 so that the latter will flash oif and on. FIGURE 1 illustrates the situation wherein a single brakelight is employed. Of course, there may be one or more brakelights employed.
4 Where there are two employed, for example, then the circuit of FIGURE 2 will obtain.
in FIGURE 2 terminals C and B are the same as those in FIGURE 1; however, in lieu of that portion of the circuit shown to the right of these terminals in FIGURE 1, it will be seen in FIGURE 2 that terminal C is now connected by electrical lead 72 to junction 73. Correspondingly, electrical lead 74 interconnects terminal B and flasher contact 75. Flasher arm 76 is, .as before explained, a bi-metallic strip which oscillates in a conventional manner between two contacts 77 and 78. When the bi-metallic strip 76 conducts current it becomes hot and, due to its bi-metallic nature, bends so as to contact the terminals 77 and '79. Electrical lead 80 is .a low resistance lead so that it will carry almost all of the current to contact 79 and through shorting bar 81 of arm 76 to contact 77 while the bi-metallic strip 76 is cooling. When the bi-metallic strip '76 is cooled sufliciently then it will fall back to make conduction again with contact 78. Electrical lead 82 interconnects contact 7 8 with brakelight 40 the remaining side of which is grounded. Electrical lead 83 interconnects contact 77 with brakelight 40'. Lead 72 is interconnected with junctions 73 and 84 by means of leads 85 and 86. Thus, it will be seen with reference to FIGURES 1 and 2 that either the rheostat coil 62 is directly coupled to junction C (and hence junction '70) or the flasher unit 68 is coupled to the same. Hence, during extremities of travel the rheostat operation becomes in eifective electrically and the flasher unit takes over. In the case of FIGURE 2 the lights 40 and 40" will flash alternately, owing to the operation of flasher unit 68 as hereinbefore described.
Of course, if desired, the rheostat could conceivably'be kept in the circuit while the flasher is operating so that the lights would be flashing at a very high intensity. However, this increases battery drain; further, rapidly flashing brakelights will be of suificient distinction to attract attention of automobiles to the rear even though the brightness thereof is not excessive.
Thus, what is obtained is an important addition to a fluid operated braking system wherein increased foot pedal pressure and, hence, increased braking action at the wheels of the vehicle will automatically produce increasing brake light intensity which increases preferably proportionately to the increase in brake pressure so that vehicles to the rear will be apprised of the manner of braking which the automobile is undergoing. For extreme braking action then the plunger 16 operates at its extremity of travel so that the switch 44 is actuated, thereby insuring that the brake light means 44 is flashing so as to further attract the attention of drivers to the rear.
It is to be understood that there is no desire for limitation to the exact details of construction shown and described, for obvious modifications will occur to a person skilled in the art.
