Patent number: 8061568Abstract: A fiber blowing and filling machine comprising a hopper, a dispensing assembly located below the hopper, a drive assembly and a blower. The dispensing assembly comprises a housing having two longitudinally opposite apertures, namely, an air inlet aperture connected to the output of the blower and an exit aperture. The housing is equipped with a paddle mounted to a shaft that is above the apertures. The paddle is assembled from individual components, forming a plurality of vanes having flexible edges that contact the surfaces of the housing to create a pocket when the apertures are between a pair of the vanes. The fiber from the hopper flows into the housing and gets collected between a pair of the vanes, which rotate further to form the pocket. The fiber in the pocket is then blown out through the exit aperture by the air from the blower output.Type: GrantFiled: September 28, 2006Date of Patent: November 22, 2011Inventor: Janis E. Fenton

Publication number: 20080036182Abstract: An equalizer for a suspension system for a trailer is configured to absorb or dampen the harsh shocks or vibrations coming off of the leaf springs proximate to a center frame hangar, thus allowing for a “softer” ride. The equalizer utilizes one or two independent equalizer arm assemblies or castings which are each rotatably secured within the equalizer. Each equalizer arm assembly or casting is operatively associated with one of the leaf springs such that upon upward movement of the leaf spring, the associated equalizer arm assembly or casting is forced to rotate within the equalizer and to deform a shock absorber provided within the equalizer. The shock absorber, upon the deformation thereof, absorbs the harsh shocks or vibrations which would otherwise normally be transferred from the leaf springs, to the equalizer, and thus to the frame of the trailer.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 23, 2007Publication date: February 14, 2008Applicant: LIPPERT COMPONENTS, INC.Inventors: E. Fenton, Bruce Bailey

The equalizer utilizes two independent equalizer arm assemblies which are each rotatably secured within the equalizer. Each equalizer arm assembly is operatively associated with one of the front or rear leaf springs such that upon upward movement of either the front or rear leaf spring, the associated equalizer arm assembly is forced to rotate within the equalizer and to deform a shock absorber provided within the equalizer. The shock absorber, upon the deformation thereof, absorbs the harsh shocks or vibrations which would otherwise normally be transferred from the leaf springs, to the equalizer, and thus to the frame of the trailer.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 22, 2005Publication date: February 22, 2007Inventor: E. Fenton

Publication number: 20030009796Abstract: A new and distinct cultivar of early-season clingstone peach tree (i.e., Prunus persica) is provided. Attractive fruit is formed that is well suited for processing having uniform yellow flesh that is free from red staining at the pit cavity. The fruit color, flavor, and texture are believed to be superior to the ‘Dixon’ and ‘Andross’ cultivars (both non-patented in the United States). The fruit ripens at approximately four days earlier than the ‘Andross’ cultivar. The pink flowers are medium-sized and non-showy and the growth habit is uprightspreading.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 27, 2001Publication date: January 9, 2003Inventors: Thomas M.

Patent number: PP13028Abstract: A new and distinct cultivar of late-season clingstone peach tree (i.e., Prunus persica) is provided. Attractive, nearly symmetrical fruit is formed that is well suited for processing having uniform bright yellow flesh that is free from red staining at the pit cavity. The fruit ripens at approximately the same time as that of the ‘Halford’ cultivar (non-patented in the United States). The fruit color, flavor, and texture are believed to be superior to the ‘Halford’ cultivar. The flowers are large and showy and the growth habit is spreading to upright-spreading.Type: GrantFiled: June 27, 2001Date of Patent: October 1, 2002Assignee: The Regents of the University of CaliforniaInventors: Thomas M.
