  • Publication number: 20210252906
    Abstract: Roller wetting dams are presented including: a curved paint shield, the curved paint shield defining a front surface, a back surface, a proximal edge, a distal edge, a top edge, and a bottom edge; a proximal side shield positioned along a portion of the proximal edge and extended from the top edge, where the proximal side shield is substantially perpendicular with the curved paint shield; a distal side shield positioned along a portion of the distal edge and extended from the top edge, the distal side shield substantially perpendicular with the curved paint shield; and a number of trailing arms coupled to the back surface of the curved paint shield extending backward from and substantially perpendicular to the curved paint shield.

  • Patent number: 7591254
    Abstract: A supercharger control system is installed at the bottom front end of the engine, directly onto the crankshaft. An accessory drive belt around the accessory belt pulley rotates continuously to keep vehicle accessories operating. A second belt around a larger pulley drives the supercharger blower. When the dashboard mounted switch is turned on, electricity from the engine energizes an electromagnet, which compels engagement of the rotating accessory pulley with the supercharger pulley by means of a slide plate. The belt around the supercharger pulley then rotates, operating the supercharger. If the driver does not require extra power and performance delivered by the supercharger, the switch is turned off, stopping the flow of electricity. This shuts down the magnetic field, causing the pulleys to be disengaged and disconnecting the supercharger, while still allowing the crankshaft to operate the accessories.

  • Publication number: 20080236162
    Abstract: A compact, solid mount unit supercharger control system is installed at the bottom front end of the engine, directly onto the crankshaft of a vehicle. An accessory drive belt around the accessory belt pulley of the system rotates continuously to keep vehicle accessories (alternator, water pump, etc.) operating. A second belt around a larger pulley drives the supercharger blower. A switch mounted with the vehicle dashboard controls engine generated electrical current to the system. In order to activate the supercharger, the switch is turned on. Electric current flows to the system and energizes an electromagnet, creating a magnetic field which compels engagement of the rotating accessory pulley with the supercharger pulley by means of a slide plate. The belt around the supercharger pulley then rotates, operating the supercharger. When activated, the supercharger forces air into the engine cylinders for greater horsepower output with fuel/air explosions within the cylinders.
