  • Patent number: 8434654
    Abstract: A BOAT HITCHING DEVICE AND CARRYING SYSTEM used for a carrying device for boats. This device is used in and around diving deck of the boat. The device is comprised essentially of two main parts: 1. A case which features a way to fasten the device to the boat; a way to rotate a receptor from a stored position and then securely retain the receptor in an essentially horizontal “use” position; a manner to pivot and securely retain the receptor in the use position; and features to provide a safe, flat deck when the device is in storage and 2. a receptor with a hub to pivotally yet securely connect to the case; a receiver structure to receive the various carrying accessories; and a way to securely retain the accessories. These devices are designed for Original Equipment or After Market offerings.

  • Publication number: 20120186372
    Abstract: A simple mechanical device that converts the rotary motion of a drill motor to an oscillating/reciprocating or into a continuous motion. The device is for use in operations with soft, fibrous materials such as surgical needs, carpets, fiber based materials, and soft woods. The device drills a close tolerance hole with drive shafts in line or offset to the driven shaft. A general reciprocating drive system is comprised of a reciprocating drive device; a turning drive device such as a drill; a drive structure member such as a gear, plate or the like; a reciprocation configuration such as the eccentric linkage; a device encasement; a means for connecting the members to an encasement; a control mechanism for reciprocating or continuous rotation; a driven output connector such as a tool chuck; and a drill bit with at least 3 flutes.

  • Publication number: 20090050343
    Abstract: This device is a simple mechanical device that converts the rotary motion of a drill motor to an oscillating or reciprocating motion. The device is for use in unique, non-surgical operations with soft, fibrous materials such as carpets and other fiber based materials. The device drills a close tolerance hole with drive shafts in line or offset to the driven shaft. A general reciprocating drive system is comprised of a reciprocating drive device—offset drive and eccentric bars; a turning drive means such as a drill or the like; a drive structure member such as a gear, plate or the like; a reciprocation configuration of various members such as the eccentric linkage to the reciprocating driven structure member such as a gear, plate, linkage or the like; a device encasement; a connection means of members to an encasement; and a driven output means.
