  • Patent number: 10752052
    Abstract: The embodied invention is a two tire lift tower and platform that is movable on castors. A motorized belt system is used to lift the tires. The belt system is mounted on each tower and is connected to a horizontal tire lifting bar. It is designed for portability by using a rechargeable battery is mounted on a rotating frame that allows each tire to be lifted separately. Simple buttons operate the tire belt lifting design that also allows for motor speed control to be adjusted by the operator. The dual belt system ensures that the horizontal lift bar is adequately maintained in a horizontal orientation. The maintenance of the unit is relatively simple due to the simplified design.

  • Patent number: 7181971
    Abstract: A rattle and noise detection system useful for a large variety of automotive vehicles is provided. The vehicles are examined in a stationary position with one of their tires having been driven onto said detection system. This tire rests against a roller assembly driven by an electromechanical drive train, electrically powered and remotely controlled. Each roller in the assembly can individually rotate around its center axis as the assembly itself rotates over a specific RPM range causing the longitudinal side of each roller to continuously strike the tires' treaded lower half at a predetermined position. This position is primarily a function of the tire size and the roller assembly's diameter and mounting position in the detection system. As the rollers continuously strike the tire, vibrations and shock waves are produced in the vehicle causing and maintaining the same annoying rattles, squeaks and noises noticeable during driving conditions.
