  • Patent number: 5402948
    Abstract: This invention relates to a comminuting device which processes small pieces of bulk materials, such as pieces of rubber tires, into crumb-sized particles. It is designed to operate at slow speeds, 50-350 rpm by having the work material move along the exterior peripheral surface of a rotating drum cutting efficiencies are improved. This unique invention provides cutting teeth on the stator and drum each having limited rotational movement which permits greater efficiency for cutting multi-grade materials such as rubber tires having steel and material cord. Cutting blades can be rotated three times to expose unused cutting edges before replacement is required.

  • Patent number: 5326124
    Abstract: This invention relates to an improved water delivery apparatus which may be adapted to be mounted for use on a bicycle in which water may be delivered to be sprayingly discharged through the sprayer or to a mouthpiece which may be placed in a bicycle rider's mouth to allow water to be discharged directly therein. This apparatus operates with an existing standard water bottle for a bicycle and alleviates the possibility of having a stream of water misdirected, distracting the rider, nor will a rider be caught off-guard receiving a stream of water in the face when a spray was anticipated.

  • Patent number: 5183324
    Abstract: This invention relates to a lighting accessory which may be worn by an individual that allows the user to variably direct the light emissions along an arc of approximately 180 degrees in front of and above the user. Once the light is positioned, it can be operated hands-free. The apparatus is self-contained having a housing comprised of two members hingedly connected together. When the housing is opened by rotating one member about the common hinge axis relative to the other housing member, the internal light switch is triggered to activate the light source. The switch is operably responsive to the relative positions of the housing members, disengaging the light source from the power source when the members are closed and engaging the light source to the power source when the housing unit is open.
