Publication number: 20150224562Abstract: Exemplary illustrations of a method of making a wheel may include stamping a wheel blank, and forming a lip extending about a periphery of an aperture defined by the wheel blank. The aperture may be configured to receive a valve stem. The method may further include refining the lip about the periphery of the aperture.

Patent number: 7318812Abstract: A reversible wrist brace includes a sheet of flexible material that overlies and supports a wearer's wrist, wherein the sheet of material includes opposing surfaces each having one or more portions of loop material. The flexible sheet has at least one opening in the vicinity of a lateral edge to accommodate at least one fastening strap, such that the strap may slide within the opening. The fastening strap is a continuous loop of sheet material having an outer surface with a hook-bearing portion. The fastener is designed so as to enable a wearer to switch the wrist brace between right and left hands by orienting the hook-bearing portion so that it is coincident with the loop-bearing portion when the wrist brace is worn on either hand. The wrist brace may include a splint that may be inserted within a pocket located on the flexible material to further immobilize the wrist.Type: GrantFiled: March 4, 2004Date of Patent: January 15, 2008Assignee: Beiersdorf, Inc.Inventors: Richard G. Taylor, Jessica A. Mills

Patent number: 6501198Abstract: A control lever for heavy machinery includes a proximity sensor for reducing the likelihood of inadvertent activation of the heavy machinery components. The proximity sensor is disposed adjacent an operating position of the control implement and detects when an operator's hand is in an operating position on the control implement in accordance with a capacitance of the operator's hand. The sensing circuit outputs an activate signal to a controller circuit for controlling the heavy machinery components when the operator's hand is in the operating position on the control implement. As a consequence, the operator is not required to perform excessive operations to effect control of the heavy machinery and has both hands available for machine operation.Type: GrantFiled: February 17, 2000Date of Patent: December 31, 2002Assignee: JLG Industries, Inc.Inventors: Richard G. Taylor, Louis A. Bafile

Patent number: 6065565Abstract: An apparatus includes a generator assembly having a power source operable to power a generator. The generator is connected to a battery assembly having one or more batteries. The battery assembly is operably connected to a drive system, such as an electric drive propulsion assembly and/or an electric or hydraulic positioning assembly. A selector is operably connected to the generator assembly to select either the battery assembly or both of the generator assembly and the battery assembly to power the apparatus.Type: GrantFiled: January 30, 1997Date of Patent: May 23, 2000Assignee: JLG Industries, Inc.Inventors: Ignacy Puszkiewicz, Richard G.

Patent number: 6063048Abstract: A support brace for knee or elbow is provided that includes a sleeve of elastic material that is unidirectionally elastic in a transverse direction across the width of the brace to provide compressive support to the joint on which the brace is worn. The sleeve includes a front portion across which is disposed one or more slightly spiral shaped, or "S" shaped, support straps. The support straps are unidirectionally elastic in a longitudinal direction along their lengths to provide lift support to the joint on which the brace is worn.Type: GrantFiled: October 10, 1996Date of Patent: May 16, 2000Assignee: Futuro, Inc.Inventors: Stefan G.

Patent number: 5420051Abstract: A process of forming an emitter of a bipolar transistor is described. Dopants of a first conductivity type is implanted in the substrate to form the base. Dopants of a second conductivity type is then implanted into the base region to form a substrate emitter region.
