An audible wristwatch assembly for alerting a blind user of the time of day and calendar date includes a strap that is worn around a user's wrist. The strap is extended through a housing and the housing has a recess therein. An electronic clock is positioned within the housing to track the time of day and the calendar date. A speaker is coupled to the housing to emit audible sounds outwardly from the housing. An announcement button is movably coupled to the housing, and the announcement button is positioned in the recess to inhibit the announcement button from being inadvertently depressed. The speaker audibly emits the time of day and the calendar date when the announcement button is depressed to alert the user to the time of day and the calendar date.

A fire suppression and control system for a commercial cooking unit having a conventional chemical fire retardant discharge system has a flexible fire curtain supported by a hood and adapted to enclose the cooking unit from the room between the hood and the floor. A housing for storing the curtain in folded condition is positioned on the hood and includes a release mechanism for releasing the curtain from the housing when a fire occurs. A heat-responsive control for discharge of the fire-resistant chemical is coupled to the release mechanism for the curtain to release the curtain at the time the fire-retardant chemical is delivered to the cooking unit. The fire-retardant chemical is preferably a Halon 1211 gas. The release mechanism includes an electromagnetic coupling which is connected through an electrical circuit to a switch at a mechanical actuator for the valve in the chemical fire-retardant delivery system.

A planetary wire feeder for feeding wire workpieces such as welding wire for a MIG or TIG welding operation comprises two sets of rollers connected to rotate in unison about the axis of the wire and radially spaced from each other in a housing. Roller holders have an axially tapered outer surface and are axially movable within the housing. Stationary gibs mounted within the housing with complementary tapered surfaces adjust the spacing between the roller holders at different axial positions of the roller holders within the housing. A nipple is provided on one roller holder tapered outer surface to equalize the pressure of each set of rollers on the wire.
