  • Patent number: 8764243
    Abstract: An LED (light emitting diode) illumination device that can generate a uniform light output illumination pattern. The illumination device includes an array of LEDs, each having a LED central axis. The LED central axis of the array of LEDs is angled approximately toward a central point. The illumination source includes a reflector with a conic or conic-like shape. The reflector wraps around the front of the LED to redirect the light emitted along a LED central axis. A housing of the LED illumination device can include a plurality of heatsink fins at a periphery, and a band can be formed within or outside of the heatsink fins.

  • Patent number: 5476050
    Abstract: A single beam aerial work platform with a base structure, top structure, and at least three scissor mechanisms. A hydraulic cylinder for raising the top structure relative to the base structure is attached between the first or lower scissor mechanism and the third or top scissor mechanism. The hydraulic cylinder is attached by a mounting bracket at an offset to the pivot points and structural members of the scissor mechanisms. An additional stress reducing beam, attached parallel to one of the structural members of the middle scissors mechanism, reduces the horizontal bending stress in the structural members of the scissor mechanisms and the connecting pin loading in the scissor mechanism pins.

  • Patent number: 5417146
    Abstract: An apparatus for the carbonation of liquids, such as water, comprises a liquid storage tank coupled to a carbonizer having a carbonated liquid holding tank which presents a carbon dioxide atmosphere to liquid introduced therein. The liquid introduced into the holding tank blends with the carbon dioxide atmosphere, and is held in the tank for withdrawal upon demand. The liquid storage tank maintains a liquid therein at ambient pressure, and has a draw tube for liquid removal positioned proximate the bottom wall of the tank. The tank has a channel system in the tank bottom to allow liquid to collect therein to maximize the amount of liquid which may be withdrawn. Liquid level switches sense the level of liquid within the channel system and are coupled to the carbonizer to prevent its operation when insufficient liquid is present in the storage tank.

  • Patent number: 5281064
    Abstract: A fastening system allows the panel mounting of handles and similar hardware in both front and rear mount configurations. A caged bolt is provided in a transverse aperture extending through the hardware item. A mounting bolt includes a head-distal shank portion for engagement with the bolt when inserted through the hardware rear face, and head-proximate unthreaded shank portion for capture by the caged nut when the bolt is inserted through the hardware item from the front face. The caged nut can be positioned along the length of the aperture to align with a panel mounting hole.
