An arm record cleaner of the disclosure incorporates threaded connections for adjusting the vertical position of a cleaner arm and the tracking pressure applied by a pivotally mounted cleaning head member on a front end of the arm to a record being cleaned. A base of the cleaner supports the lower end of a vertical post by one threaded connection and the upper end of the post mounts an intermediate portion of the arm. On the opposite side of the post from the cleaning head, the arm includes a rear end on which a counterbalance is supported by another threaded connection to provide the control of the tracking pressure. The cleaning member has a soft pile covered cleaning edge and a brush and is pivotally mounted on the cleaning head so that the cleaning edge and brush balance the pressure applied to a record being cleaned. One preferred embodiment includes a rotatable nut of the base that moves the post up and down. Another preferred embodiment includes a threaded hole in the base receiving the lower threaded end of the post and also includes a spring clip that pivotally secures the cleaning member to the cleaning head.

A cleaning kit for magnetic tape type sound reproducing equipment is disclosed as including a rectangularly shaped receptacle for receiving and storing cleaning tools. The size of the box is such that the kit can be conveniently stored along with or in the space normally provided for tape cassette boxes of a conventional size. In its preferred embodiment, the receptacle includes a base member injection molded from opaque plastic and a cover which is also injection molded from clear plastic and pivotally connected to the base member for movement between open and closed positions. A tool rack on the base member secures the tools which comprise a brush, an elongated probe holder, and a mirror. A compartment of the cover receives a bag of cleaning probes and a bottle of cleaning fluid for use in cleaning magnetic tape type sound reproducing equipment in cooperation with the tools.

A magnetic tape sensing head cleaner disclosed has a hollow housing including a pair of housing members that are selectively latchable to each other in a closed position and releasable therefrom to permit replacement of a cleaning loop received by a track within the housing. Latching portions formed integrally with the housing members during plastic molding thereof cooperate in pairs to provide wedging latches that secure the housing members to each other in the closed position and permit repeated separation thereof for replacement of the cleaning loop. The track that receives the cleaning loop is preferably located within a cleaning loop compartment at one end of the housing and includes a drive roller, a pressure pad, and a guide loop around which the cleaning loop is driven. Adjacent another end of the housing, a storage compartment is defined for a cleaning brush, a cleaning probe, cleaning probe tips, and a cleaning fluid bottle. One of the housing members is molded from opaque plastic and includes a bottom wall, an apertured end wall through which the cleaning action by the cleaning loop takes place, side walls connected to the end and bottom walls, and an intermediate wall that connects the side walls and separates the cleaning loop and storage compartments.

A manual record cleaner that is manually grasped and engaged with a rotating record to provide effective cleaning of the record grooves as well as removal of static electrical charge from the record. A body of the cleaner includes rigid leading and trailing projections spaced from each other and having coverings of a soft pile for cleaning the records. A receptacle mounts the cleaner and has a first compartment that receives the leading projection and a second compartment that receives the trailing projection. Within the first compartment, an absorbent material is mounted on the receptacle in a spaced relationship from the pile covering of the leading projection so that cleaning liquid applied thereto creates an atmosphere that dampens the leading projection pile covering the proper amount. Static charge on a record being cleaned and dust accumulation are removed by the dampened leading projection while the dry trailing projection removes any remaining dust accumulation. A brush and a static charge dissipating member are mounted on the body between the leading and trailing projections.

A phonograph record cleaner having a pair of soft pile covered projections extending downwardly from a cleaner body with a still brush and a soft brush also extending downwardly between the projections. During cleaning of a record, the cleaner is oriented so that the stiffer brush precedes the softer brush, and the pile covered projections properly locate the ends of the brush bristles relative to the record surface. The stiffer bristles are longer than the softer bristles, while the softer bristles of the shorter length are more densely packed than the stiffer bristles. Indicia on the cleaner body allows the cleaner to be hand held and properly oriented during use. Both of the brushes project downwardly through openings in a hollow lower member of the cleaner body and have retainers that limit the downward movement through the openings. An upper member of the cleaner body is snap connected to the lower member as is a retaining member which engages the brushes to limit their upward movement within the openings so as to properly position the brushes. During periods of nonuse, a receptacle mounts the cleaner body with the projections and brushes received within an upwardly opening depression of the receptacle.

A magnetic tape sensing head demagnetizer disclosed has a housing with a hollow handle portion and a clear plastic probe portion projecting outwardly from the handle portion. A coil within the handle portion receives the inner end of a core which has an outer probe end that is received by the probe portion to protect it during demagnetizing of a tape sensing head as an AC voltage provides a pulsating flux to the core. A bulb received within the handle portion of the housing shines light through the probe portion thereof to provide illumination during the demagnetizing. Closing of a normally open switch energizes the coil with the AC voltage and concomitantly applies a portion of the voltage across the coil to the bulb to provide the illumination. An inner end of the probe portion is mounted by the handle portion with the probe end of the core located adjacent one lateral side edge of the probe portion and the bulb located adjacent the other side edge in a construction that gives the probe portion good light gathering and transmitting characteristics. Intensification of the transmitted light is achieved by tapering of the probe portion side edges toward each other in a direction toward the distal end of the probe portion.

A control system (14) for a vehicle air conditioner driven by an associated internal combustion engine of the vehicle is disclosed as including a control circuit (40) for selectively operating the air conditioner to provide cooling of the vehicle in a manner that conserves fuel without appreciably affecting passenger comfort. A sensor (62) of the control system is responsive to an increased power demand on the engine to automatically suspend operation of the air conditioner by the control circuit until the engine output is subsequently increased with respect to the power demand. The control circuit preferably provides electrical operation of the air conditioner compressor which is driven by the engine and the sensor (62) senses the intake manifold vacuum of the engine to automatically suspend compressor operation whenever the vacuum falls below a predetermined extent. A temperature switch (74) of the control circuit senses the engine operating temperature to maintain compressor operation during engine warmup even when the intake manifold vacuum falls below the predetermined extent at which compressor operation is normally suspended. A tachometer (78) of the control circuit senses vehicle speed and operates switch ( 80) to maintain the compressor operation whenever the speed sensed is above a predetermined value even when the intake manifold vacuum falls below the predetermined extent at which compressor operation is normally suspended.
