  • Patent number: 6217125
    Abstract: The safety wheel assembly uses spacer mounting nuts to allow the mounting of a spare or second wheel and tire on an existing motor vehicle wheel mount assembly. The primary wheel and tire of a vehicle are normally mounted using lug or mounting bolts. These bolts are then used to secure the primary tire with the spacer mounting nut which thereby provides for mounting the spare wheel and tire outwardly of the primary wheel relative to the vehicle. The two tires and wheels are spaced such as not to contact one to the other. The spare tire is a smaller diameter than the primary wheel. For example the standard size spare tire of solid rubber may be mounted in such a position as such spare tires are of a smaller diameter. The spare tire may also have protruding elements on the tire surface to aid in travel under snow conditions.

  • Patent number: 6193187
    Abstract: The reusable space launch system has a first stage vehicle or aerospacecraft, a second stage vehicle or reusable spacecraft and a third stage vehicle or reusable orbit transfercraft. All the stages have the basic aerodynamic vehicle elements of a fuselage, wings, and tail, with the incorporation of control surfaces to supply lift, stability and control. The aerospacecraft is configured to use ejector ramjet engines for powered flight and includes equipment to capture air to supplement oxidizer for the ejector ramjet engine during take-off and extreme high altitude In order to optimize aerospacecraft performance in a pull up movement to exit the sensible atmosphere, the aerospacecraft may include auxiliary ascent rocket engines. The aerospacecraft payload bay is accessed by nose load re-closable payload fairings. The reusable spacecraft is mounted on tracks on each lower side of the aerospacecraft payload bay.

  • Patent number: 6079135
    Abstract: The flexible identification collar consists of a strap with an attached tongue on one end. The strap is the approximate length of the outer circumference of the hose to which it is to be attached. There is a slot or hole in the strap adjacent to the end opposite the tongue through which the tongue passes when the strap is wrapped around a hose and is then fastened to the strap exterior layer. Use of hook and loop material on the tongue and the exterior and interior layers of the strap serve to secure the tongue and strap end to securely fasten the collar to a hose. In addition hook material or grip material on the interior layer provides a friction surface to prevent slippage on the hose. The exterior layer of the strap will normally be made of a reflective or fluorescent material for improved visibility in low light situations. In addition, an alternate color reflective stripe may be added to the exterior layer as well as a reflective label.
