  • Patent number: 8915371
    Abstract: A dual compartment dispenser for pill or other item storage includes a larger outer compartment container and an auxiliary smaller pocket container configured to accommodate a predetermined daily dosage of items, which the user can carry in a clothing pocket, backpack or handbag, without having to carry the entire bottle container of items. The smaller auxiliary pocket container compartment nests on an interior collar ledge within the outer compartment container It is loosely supported by a ledge within the neck of a bottle neck container. The daily dose container gyrates and pivots upward when pushed against on one side of a top edge thereof, so that the daily dose container is up-ended and provides a portion extending upward above a top of the neck of the main housing container housing, for manual grasping without the need to invert the main housing container to release the smaller auxiliary pocket container therefrom.

  • Patent number: 4708106
    Abstract: A V-shaped crankarm so arranged, constructed, and mounted that when the piston and piston pin are at top dead center and the greatest resistance to the downstroke is made by the crankarm, the V-crankarm will transfer the force of combustion via a crankpin arm portion, which is fixed at an angle to a crankshaft arm portion lying in a plane substantially perpendicular to the axis of the cylinder, in order to affect rotary motion.

  • Patent number: 4622932
    Abstract: A V-shaped crankarm so arranged, constructed, and mounted that when the piston and piston pin are at top dead center and the greatest resistance to the downstroke is made by the crankarm, the V-crankarm will affect the resistance to the downstroke and transfer the power of the downstroke to rotation of the crankarm and the crankarm.

  • Patent number: 4616561
    Abstract: A vented heading for the outer frame of an airtight double-hung sash window unit adapted to be seated in an opening of an exterior wall of an apartment. Vent holes in a head panel allow fresh air flow into the heading; and a baffle member at the back of the heading serves to direct the airflow downwardly at the rear of the unit into the apartment. Stale air from the apartment is enabled to move past the baffle member and escape through the heading and vent holes to the outside.

  • Patent number: 4556023
    Abstract: A pair of rotary valves for an internal combustion engine positioned in a cylinder head over a cylinder block. The rotary valves include a pair of rotatable shafts, and a pair of sleeve supports having ports opening to the cylinder or cylinders of the engine. The pair of rotatable shafts can be either hollow or solid. The hollow intake shaft brings in a fuel mixture to an inlet passage that rotates into alignment with an intake opening in the intake shaft to the piston cylinder. The hollow exhaust shaft allows exhaust of burned gases from the piston chamber through an exhaust opening from the piston cylinder to an exhaust passage in the exhaust shaft and to the atmosphere. The solid rotatable shafts are provided with a diametrical intake channel and a diametrical exhaust channel that aligns with the openings to the piston cylinder and to the fuel mixture and to the atmosphere. Drive and timing gearing between the crankshaft and the intake and exhaust shafts are provided.
