Joseph John Jingle has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 8092121
    Abstract: A load support includes an outer tube and a plunger at least partially slidably disposed within the outer tube. Gravity-set wedging members are disposed between an outer surface of the plunger and an inner surface of the outer tube for setting the plunger and outer tube in place with respect to each other, wherein the wedging members are substantially self-setting under gravity. The wedging members gouge the outer surface of the plunger and the inner surface of the outer tube upon inward axial movement of the plunger within the outer tube.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7927042
    Abstract: An adjustable yield rock bolt that comprises an elongated tensile support member that interacts with at least one gouging member and a receiving member capable of receiving the elongated tensile support member and hold the gouging member segment there between, wherein the elongated tensile support member extends beyond the receiving member a length that corresponds to a predetermined amount of yield before ultimate failure. The bolt has adjustability by allowing for controlled yield by gouging of the elongated tensile support member for any length of displacement.
    Type: Grant
