Vehicle steering system for kickback reduction

A steering system (10) and a method of dampening the forces transmitted to a steering wheel (20) of a vehicle when a steerable wheel (22) of the vehicle collides with an obstacle using the steering system (10). The method includes steering a vehicle via a steering wheel (20) operably connected to a steerable wheel (22), with the steering wheel (20) defining an input angle. The method also includes monitoring the rate of change of a steering angle (40) as defined by the steerable wheel (22), with the ratio of the input angle to the steering angle (40) defining a steering ratio. The method further includes reducing an amount of torque transmitted to the steering wheel (20) from the steerable wheel (22) when the rate of change of the steering angle (40) exceeds a maximum rate by adjusting the steering ratio (40).

Cylinder Cart

A cylinder cart system that incorporates a stabilizing platform for safely loading and offloading of gas / fluid cylinders from trucks and the like is disclosed. The cylinder cart system incorporates a stabilizing platform to which a tank retention mechanism is attached that permits a gas / fluid cylinder to be retrained and raised / lowered via the use of an integrated elevator mechanism that may be manually or power operated. In the raised position, the cylinder cart provides sufficient stability to permit safe offloading of a gas / fluid cylinder onto a pickup truck or the like by a single person. In the lowered position, the cylinder cart incorporates hand truck functionality to permit transport of the gas / fluid cylinder across rugged terrain. An optional integrated safety braking system may in some embodiments provide additional stabilization of the system when the cylinder cart is in the raised position.

Crutches and Sitting Device

InactiveUS20170319423A1Effective ambulationImprove postureWalking sticksCrutchesEngineeringLumbar
The New Design for Crutches and Sitting Device is an improvement of the basic crutch to provide needed support to ameliorate potential injuries and improve ambulation for persons suffering from injured lower limbs, lumbar region or other injuries and who frequently required using crutches for mobility. However, crutches require more energy from the user than merely walking, and frequently, a crutch user may require rest. Prior crutch systems have not provided a convenient way to provide the user with such rest. The current invention fulfills two functions: (i) providing improved walking aid for those recovering from orthopedic surgery of the spine and lower extremities—as well as those who suffer from permanent disability from the spine and lower limbs; and (ii) improved sitting aid for those recovering from orthopedic surgery of the spine and lower extremities—as well as those who suffer from permanent disability of the spine and lower limbs.

Safety Glass Breaker

An automobile safety glass breaker tool is held against an automobile safety glass window and fired to break the window. The tool is armed by sliding a firing pin piston to the rear against a spring and fired by releasing the firing pin piston. The firing pin piston hits a 22 blank cartridge to fire the blank cartridge. The blank cartridge drives a striker piston forward, and a striker point on the striker piston impacts and shatters the automobile safety glass window. The striker point is limited to reach about 0.6 inches forward and out of the tool to prevent injury to a user.

System for ejecting a spin-stabilized space flying body

A spacecraft or space flying body is spin-stabilized as the body is expelled from an ejection tube, for example from a larger spacecraft. For imposing spin stabilization on the flying body, a guide groove is provided between an outer wall of the flying body and an inner wall of the ejection tube. The guide groove has at least partly a helical slope. Guide spheres or balls travel in the guide groove as the flying body is driven by a drive, such as a spiral spring or an electric motor, out of the ejecting tube.

Pressure relief valve for use in cementitious material pumping systems

InactiveUS7644904B1Quickly and safely discharging the pressureEliminate dead spacePlug valvesMultiple way valvesFree rotationEngineering
A pressure relief valve integrally formed with a section of conduit in a closed system for pumping cementitious material eliminates any dead space in the system within which the cementitious material may flow and set, and thus avoids system disassembly for cleaning following use and the possible replacement of clogged system components. The pressure relief valve includes a hollow cylindrical housing disposed on a conduit. First and second elongated linear slots are aligned with the cylindrical housing's longitudinal axis and are disposed in opposed portions of housing, with one slot in flow communication with the conduit. A cylindrical drum having a third elongated linear slot disposed within the cylindrical housing is freely rotatable therein. A handle attached to one end of the drum allows for manual rotation of the drum for aligning the three slots permitting the discharge of cementitious material and release of pressure in the system.
