  • Patent number: 10946922
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention relate to a battery powered ride-on toy vehicle. The ride-on vehicle includes a main body, a front wheel assembly, and a steering assembly. The front wheel assembly is angularly offset from the main body so that steering the vehicle into a turn with the steering assembly creates a camber angle in the wheels of the front wheel assembly and tilts the main body into a turn. The ride-on vehicle may also include a rear wheel assembly and a drive assembly configured to drive any wheels included in the front wheel assembly and the rear assembly. The toy vehicle can also drift through turns while tilting into the turn.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20150093961
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a remote control assembly including a remote control unit and a toy vehicle. The remote control unit is a four function device that provides forward, reverse, forward-left, and forward-right inputs such that the selection of one input will cause the vehicle to move in a forward direction, the selection of a second input will cause the vehicle to move in reverse direction, the selection of a third input will cause the vehicle to move forward and left, and selection of the fourth input will cause the vehicle to move forward and right.

  • Patent number: 6837644
    Abstract: A dual shaft and rotating machine coupling has a first rotatable shaft, a second rotatable shaft and a rotating machine rotor coupling. The first rotatable shaft has a first shaft connecting flange radially extending outwardly therefrom. The second rotatable shaft is axially aligned with the first rotatable shaft and has a second shaft connecting flange radially extending outwardly therefrom. The second shaft connecting flange is spaced from the first shaft connecting flange. The rotating machine rotor coupling has a rotor spider and a rotor connecting flange radially extending inwardly from the spider securely sandwiched between and in abutting relation with the first and second shaft connecting flanges.

  • Patent number: 5535877
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for removing water from a solution of water and glycol solution. The apparatus finds application in recycling of glycol wherein a water and glycol solution having as much as a 95% water content when introduced to the apparatus leaves the apparatus with a water content in the order of 40% to 60%. The glycol concentrator has a packing medium made from glass shards that provide a labyrinth through which air is circulated in one direction and thin streams of glycol are circulated in generally the opposite direction. It is believed that mixing of the thin streams of solution and air flow steams in the labyrinth results in a thin film evaporation process. The glycol concentrator apparatus has reduced energy requirements when compared with a distilling process.
