A vehicular impact absorbing apparatus includes a pair of tubular guide rails having a guide slit longitudinally formed at the upper part of each guide rail fixed to the ground. Sliders are movably mounted in the guide rail at predetermined intervals, the upper part of each slider is laid on the upper part of the guide rail through the guide slit. Cushion units are mounted on the upper part of each slider. Each cushion unit is elastically deformed by vehicular impact while retracting along the guide rail. Cushion pins are mounted across the guide rails at predetermined intervals between the sliders that also absorb the kinetic energy of an impact by being broken by the rearward retracting slider. A stopper is installed around the rear end of the guide rail for stopping the retracting cushion units. A successive cushion and deceleration of the impact is possible in this arrangement.

Rectangular or circular vent apparatus for protecting a confined space having a vent aperture for relief of an overpressure condition is provided with each including vent structure having a vent unit adapted to be positioned over the vent aperture in normal closing relationship thereto. Each vent unit preferably includes at least one spring steel panel provided with a movable pressure relief portion having an initial position extending across the vent aperture. A backstop is provided for arresting the degree of movement of the spring steel panel, that absorbs kinetic energy of opening of the spring steel panel, and that assures return of the relief portion of the spring steel panel in substantially its original shape to a selected opening position when a predetermined overpressure is applied against the relief portion of the vent unit. A line of weakness comprising a series of end-to-end slits defines the movable pressure relief portion of each spring steel panel. A synthetic resin sheet covers the slits of each line of weakness. Alternatively, the vent unit may have spring steel leaves positioned against a metal sheet provided with a relief portion and normally positioned in closing relationship to the vent aperture. The spring steel panel and the spring steel leaves have a sufficient modulus of resilience and elasticity to cause the relief portion of the spring steel panel or the metal sheet to return to their respective initial positions from the open positions thereof upon relief of the overpressure condition in the confined space.

A vehicle having a driver control region, such as a drive cab, and a specialized frame extending rearward from the driver control region and having a rear module body which can be easily exchanged on the specialized frame. The specialized frame has two rails, each with an incline or slope segment, and the rear module body has two open bottom frame channels, which conform to the rails and the inclines or slope segments thereof. When lowered onto the specialized frame, interaction between the specialized frame and frame channels creates a forward push resulting in a desired position of the rear module body rearward of driver control region. Optionally, the specialized frame may be provided by adaptors attached to a regular vehicle frame to provide a slope segment or incline. The vehicle may be based on a truck, such as a chassis-cab or upon an all-terrain-vehicle (ATV). A plurality of specialized rear module bodies may include box, closed container, or passenger oriented configurations.

The present invention utilizes extracts of the pre-sporulation (preconidial) mycelial stage of entomopathogenic fungi as insect and arthropod attractants and/or pathogens and can be employed to limit the zoonotic diseases they transmit. The fungus can be cultivated on grain, wood, agricultural wastes or other cellulosic material and extracts can be made thereof. More than one fungus and substrate can be used in combination with one or more antimicrobial, antiprotozoal, antiviral, and genetically modified agents that result in reduced spread of contagions and lessens the damage they inflict on animals, and plants.

A dumpster having a moveable false floor which moves from a bottom of the dumpster toward a top opening when the dumpster is tilted to a substantially inverted orientation during collection of trash. The moveable false floor has freedom to move a predetermined length toward the top opening, where upon reaching the predetermined length a restraining means abruptly stops the floor causing the dumpster to shake dislodging adhered trash. Upon being returned to an upright orientation the moveable false floor moves back to the bottom.

A tensioner for a traction drive includes a cylinder arranged in a housing at a distance to a housing wall to thereby define an interior space which contains hydraulic fluid. A piston is received in the cylinder for back-and-forth movement and bounds a pressure chamber containing hydraulic fluid. The piston has a cylinder-distal end which is operatively connected to a spring-biased tension roller supported on a traction member. Formed between the piston and the cylinder is a leakage gap, and a reservoir for hydraulic fluid is provided in an area of the leakage gap to prevent ingress of air into the pressure chamber, when the traction drive is at a rest.

The present invention has at least one rack chock which is supported pivotally and tiltably at one end by a pin and cross head assembly located at a position between at least one leg rack and the hull of the platform. The other end of the rack chock is connected to the jack foundation with an actuator assembly. The pin and cross head assembly is disposed slidably within a guide for permitting the teeth of the rack chock to engage the leg rack teeth without visual monitoring and manual control. The actuator assembly connected to the other end of the rack chock controls the swinging movement of the rack chock and its engagement and disengagement with the leg rack. A pair of jacks urges upper and lower wedges with tiltable surfaces converging onto the rack chord's upper and lower surfaces, thus obtaining a optimal surface to arrest the relative movement between the rack chock and the leg rack. As such, load from the jack foundation is transferred to the legs, overturning moments on the legs to the jack foundation. Stress to the mating surfaces of the present invention and the leg rack is minimized as the engagement of the present invention takes place under load from the inertia load of the rack chock due to the pivoting action with minimum forcing action from the actuator assembly.

A catch assembly coupled to the operating mechanism of the ATS is provided. The catch assembly is structured to arrest movement within the operating mechanism when the operating mechanism moves at more than the speed for which it was designed. That is, the catch assembly does not engage when the operating mechanism is stationary, or moving at a standard speed, i.e. the speed at which the operating mechanism was intended to move. When there is a strong over-current, such as during a withstand test, a magnetic field causes a movable contact to separate from a fixed contact assembly which, in turn, causes the operating mechanism to move at a speed that is faster than the standard speed. The catch assembly is structured to engage and arrest the motion of the operating mechanism when the operating mechanism moves at a speed that is faster than the standard speed.

The present invention provides a reverse opening type separable end stop having a mechanism which securely locks a reverse opening type slider on a surface of an insert pin or a box pin, thereby blocking the slider from needlessly moving inward, wherein the reverse opening type separable end stop comprises a reverse opening type slider, a box pin and an insert pin, the insert pin or the box pin being provided with a contact portion with which a locking pawl provided on the reverse opening type slider mounted on a fastener chain can always make contact by colliding an end surface thereof in an opening/closing direction at an end portion of the fastener chain, so that the contact portion is locked by the locking pawl, whereby a high quality reverse opening type separable end stop is ensured.

A pet safety warning ring comprises a collar body, a vibration frequency sensor, an information transmission module, a warning flash device, a microcontroller chip, a sensing adjustment means and an ultrasonic transmitter. When a pet is moving, the vibration frequency sensor receives a vibration and transmits a message to the warning flash device to achieve the effect of warning a driving car about the existence of the pet. If the vibration frequency sensed by the warning ring reaches a specific value, the microcontroller chip will turn on the ultrasonic transmitter to emit a high-decibel ultrasonic wave, such that the pet will feel uncomfortable. When the pet slows down its movement, the ultrasonic transmitter will stop operating, so that the moving speed of the pet can be controlled to prevent an accident if the pet runs onto a road.

The invention relates to an anti-jamming device in the field of motor vehicles, which is used for preventing an object from getting caught. Said anti-jamming device comprises an actuating means (1) which can be coupled to a body part (3) of a vehicle and can be moved relative to said body part (3) by resting the same against the object, and an apparatus for detecting a relative movement between the actuating means (1) and the body part (3).

The instant invention is a climbing device for belaying and rappelling. A tube is split into two pars that are hinged to pivot scissor-like. A loop of rope is inserted into the split tube and attached to the climber or an anchor with a carabiner. The split tube is open when the rope is slack and retains the one-piece tube belay device's characteristic advantages of smooth feed. The two parts pivot when there is tension in the rope, closing around the rope in a scissor-like movement that increases friction by pinching the rope against the carabiner, significantly reducing the brake-hand force needed to arrest and hold the weight of a climber. At least one spring applies the force that opens the spit tube when the device is not supporting a load. Alternate configurations include openings to control two ropes simultaneously; a lever to control the release of the rope when lowering a climber; and a means for attaching a second carabiner for rigging the device to belay a second with auto-braking. The instant invention is effective with climbing ropes of any diameter and can arrest rope moving through the device in either direction.
