  • Patent number: 5871262
    Abstract: A precision wheel, roller and track tread product newly developed consisting of a wheel, roller and track tread material capable of carrying a very heavy load for its size mounted on a new tread locking assembly hub, roller shaft or track tread cleat. The tread locking assembly is designed primarily to bond very difficult to bond materials to a given wheel hub or wheel rim without an adhesive which could be used for commercial, industrial, automotive, and all other purposes where a revolutionary state-of-the-art wheel product is needed. The resultant benefits of the tread alloys with the use of a newly invented tread retention device with super holding power is an inner tube perforated liner mounted over a circular groove derived from a precisionly designed tread locking assembly from specific mathematical, scientific tests and mathematical calculations. These mathematical advantages are a product of groove design dimensions.

  • Patent number: 5739959
    Abstract: The present invention provides new variable focal power Lens Units in an eyeglass frame, controlled by radar and electronics for the visually impaired, consisting of a Neodymium Iron Boron ring magnet in a flexible rubber binder having a convention pole e.g. North, (facing the electromagnet) attached to the stabilizer ring on the forward movable lens. Forward movement to supply positive focal power is achieved by repulsion coming from an electro ring magnet with a Barium Ferrite core in a flexible rubber binder, having a copper coil around the core creating the electromagnetic force when energized by the current controlled power supply. Rearward movement to supply negative focal power is achieved by attraction coming from the electro ring magnet in reverse operation.The second Lens Unit consists of an automatic fast focusing infinitely variable focal power Lens Unit consisting of a permanent magnet with an additional copper coil surrounding it to energize a clear magnetic fluid oil to have e.g.

  • Patent number: 5542752
    Abstract: A wheel tread locking circular groove invention designed primarily to bond very difficult to bond materials to a given wheel hub or wheel rim without an adhesive which could be used for commercial, industrial, automotive, and all other purposes where a revolutionary state-of-the-art wheel product is needed. The resultant benefits of the locking circular grooves are derived from specific mathematical ratios. These mathematical ratios are a product of groove design dimensions. Another part of the invention is to bring together the wheel tread locking invention with a newly developed state-of-the-art engineering thermoplastic polyurethane resin designated as Isoplast.RTM. grade 202 with specifications far superior to that of any conventional material that can be used for wheel tread material forming a new product that has been needed for a very long time. This resultant combination of the present invention with the Isoplast.RTM. grade 202 will benefit everyone in the country, as all goods, food products, etc.

  • Patent number: 5440357
    Abstract: This invention will for the first time provide a digital read-out showing the amount of diopters either Positive or Negative with a zero starting point midway between the Positive and Negative dioxter readings. The people having their eyes checked will now be able to communicate in the most accurate way with their eye doctor using an adjustment knob for each eye respectively to obtain the prescription needed. This is achieved through a specially designed lens unit and through the use of direct gear rack drives attached to the movable lenses coupled to an encoder and that is battery powered producing a DC square wave output voltage and fed into a Positive to Negative read-out display Totalizer unit with LED electronic digital read-out that is available with a scaling factor for precise conversion to diopter values for each eye respectively. The Totalizer is a computerized unit with microchip circuitry running on DC battery current which makes the Vari-Lens.TM.

  • Patent number: 5312116
    Abstract: The present invention provides an O-Ring mounted in a square shaped chamber in a housing. The O-Ring contains a groove adapted to move the O-Ring inner bore toward the center of the shaft in response to a pressurized fluid. The chamber is fed by a liquid or a gas. Internal pressure in the housing created primarily by rotation of the shaft, or by a pump from an outside source, feeds fluid to the chamber through openings in the housing, thereby expanding the O-Ring to lightly contact the shaft. This is a major benefit over conventional O-Rings, seals and prior art that enables the O-Ring to provide minimum drag and maximum sealing of internal lubricants for bearing operation. Another major benefit of this self-adjusting O-Ring is that it automatically compensates for wear, increasing its service life to many times that of conventional O-Rings.

  • Patent number: 5229885
    Abstract: An automatic fast focusing infinitely variable focal power Lens Unit, to supply the infinitely variable focal power as required. The Lens Unit consists of two lenses, one of which is stationary, being connected to an eyeglass frame or other optical products with the outer lens moving in connection with precisely constructed joints fastened to the inner stationery lens. The outer lens is automatically adjusted by Precision Proportional Solenoids. A Radar-sending and receiving unit supplies the signal for controlling the movement of the outer lens, that takes place to supply the infinitely variable focal power. The Lens Unit is covered around on the periphery by a C-shaped Ring reservoir containing a clear refractive liquid to flow throughout the entire Lens Unit as the outer lens moves outwardly and then back inward to its starting point and zero mark, for value of focal power. The construction described herein is to give precision and uniform results repeatedly, for people who need bifocals, trifocals, etc.

  • Patent number: 5211484
    Abstract: A portable pressure regulated lubrication system for all bearings derived from using a specially designed thrust bearing. The thrust bearing carries a lubricant from a lubrication fitting on the outside of the thrust bearing to the outer race or races in a bearing hub, which in turn feed the internal bearing rollers or balls and rotating surfaces. The lubricant from the fitting coming in travels without any loss sealed within static seals thus assuring full and positive lubrication of the bearings. The pressure within the system is maintained and protected against excess pressure by a relief fitting with a set rating. The pressure assures improved lubrication and particularly with a grease lubricant improves lubrication and system life, and maintains the system free of voids and contaminants. Seals within the system maintain pressure and prevent lubricant outflow while functioning with static and/or moving parts. Round or square cross-sectioned O-Rings preferably act as seals.

  • Patent number: 4988218
    Abstract: A thrust bearing or thrust bearings are adapted to be used in pressurized lubricating systems to maintain lubricant under pressure in these systems. The pressure assures improved lubrication and particularly with a grease lubricant improves lubrication and system life, and maintains the system free of voids and contaminants. Seals within the system maintain pressure and prevent lubricant outflow while functioning with static and/or moving parts. Round or square cross-sectioned O-rings preferably act as seals. A special O-ring having separable end segments may be used in the systems with the thrust bearings to seal against pressure and lubricant outflow.
