Patent number: 6811233Abstract: A foldable workbench provides ergonomic and flat horizontal working surfaces that can be folded vertically to occupy less space when desired. The top shelf may fold downwardly and provide a working space for arms and shoulders. The middle space is generally disposed at waist or hip height to provide arm and shoulder space while also providing an object against which a person might lean in order to provide stability, steady themselves, and work upon objects present on the middle shelf. The lower shelf has room for a person's shins or feet, especially when leaning against the middle shelf. The foldable workstation has a generally thin profile when folded up against a wall or other similar vertical support. The folded panels of the foldable workbench provide protection for tools hanging vertically on a pegboard or the like adjacent the upper folded panel. Similarly, foldable shelves provide horizontal storage or stowage space when needed yet fold vertically to occupy less space when so desired.Type: GrantFiled: November 20, 2002Date of Patent: November 2, 2004Assignee: CanAm Marketing CorporationInventor: Stephen R.

Patent number: 6328205Abstract: An interlocking door seam provides a stronger seam for double doors, making them less subject to attack by prybars and the like. Particularly for central mail stations (CMS) and central box units CBU, double doors present there are subject to attack by prybars and the like that force the locks and allow thieves to rifle the contents of the enclosed mail boxes. Attachment of interlocking door seam to the first edge of the first double doors protects that first edge from prybar attacks. The adjoining edge of the second double door then releasably fits into a convex strip that protects the adjoining edge of the second double door, thereby protecting it from prybar attack. The interlocking door seam allows normal operation of the double doors while decreasing the risk to the central mail station of prybar attack at the seam between the double doors. Flanges present along the free edge of the convex strip provide easy engagement of that free edge.Type: GrantFiled: November 2, 2000Date of Patent: December 11, 2001Assignee: CanAm Marketing Corp.Inventors: C.

Patent number: 6142865Abstract: A ventilation system for a long life vehicle (LLV). A rear vent currently existing on most LLV's is secured by an adapter to provide air to a squirrel cage fan or other air pump. The cooler air is ducted to the forward passenger compartment where its glass enclosure serves to heat the confines to high temperatures during sunny days. A resistor in the ductwork serves as a generally electrically-identical configuration to an auxiliary fan currently present in most LLV's. The ductwork transmits the air pumped from the rear vent to a vent assembly having a plenum and louvers with grills. The plenum provides a small and temporary reservoir for the air flow so that it may be redirected sideways to the louvers. The louvers provide course adjustment for the airflow with finer adjustment achieved through the grills. Overall advantages include greater driver and passenger well being leading to safer operation of the vehicle as well as less thermal stress for the instruments and operating controls.Type: GrantFiled: October 26, 1998Date of Patent: November 7, 2000Assignee: Can-Am Marketing Corp.Inventors: C.
