Patent number: 7290888Abstract: The projection system includes a plurality of projection apparatus including a frame. The frames of adjacent projection apparatus are interconnected by at least one bracket connected to vertical members of the adjacent projection apparatus. Adjacent projection apparatus define a viewing area defined by the upper members of the frames of the projection apparatus, the lower members of the frames of the projection apparatus and the outer frame edges of each of the adjacent projection apparatus. A viewing screen is disposed over this viewing area.Type: GrantFiled: June 2, 2005Date of Patent: November 6, 2007Assignee: Technological Systems Sales, Inc.Inventors: Le Roy Francis Kepley, Jr., William K King, Scott A Herkimer, Robert Wescomb Jones

Patent number: 7036628Abstract: An apparatus that secures a hunter to a tree while in a tree-mounted hunting stand that includes a safety harness assembly (200) having a belt retractor (24) and a body harness (16). The belt retractor is configured to be removably secured about the tree and removably secured to the body harness. The belt retractor along with energy-absorbing materials improves the hunter's safety while in tree stand and provides a sufficiently large range of motion about the stand.Type: GrantFiled: January 12, 2004Date of Patent: May 2, 2006Assignee: Key Saftey Systems, Inc.Inventors: Timothy L. Wilcox, Patrick J. Gorman, Gerald R. DeMeyer, William K. King, David R. Arnold

Publication number: 20040212785Abstract: Projection system. A projection apparatus is disclosed having a first vertical member and a second vertical member disposed parallel to the first vertical member, the second vertical member substantially the same length as the first vertical member. An upper crossbar member is disposed between the first and second vertical members and perpendicular thereto. An intermediate crossbar member is disposed between the first and second vertical members and perpendicular thereto and below the upper crossbar member to define a viewing area bounded by the first and second vertical members, the upper crossbar member and the intermediate crossbar member. A viewing screen is disposed over the viewing area.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 17, 2004Publication date: October 28, 2004Inventors: Le Roy Francis Kepley,, William K. King, Scott A. Herkimer, Robert W. Jones

Patent number: 5999232Abstract: A video display is provided which includes a display screen mounted to a forward end of the video display, a video projector having a center of gravity, and a reflective assembly for directing light from within the video projector to the display screen. The video display further includes a frame for supporting the display screen, the video projector and a reflective assembly in an operative relationship. Stationary brackets are rigidly mounted to the frame, and projector brackets are rigidly mounted to the video projector. The projector brackets are pivotally mounted to the stationary brackets for rotating relative to the stationary brackets, about a pivot point. Rotating the projector brackets relative to the stationary brackets rotates the video projector relative to the frame, from a first position to a second position.Type: GrantFiled: September 9, 1996Date of Patent: December 7, 1999Assignee: Technological Systems Sales, Inc.Inventors: Le Roy Francis Kepley, Jr., William K. King, Michael G. Berry

Patent number: 4328847Abstract: A pair of routers are serially mounted on a pivotable support on a cutting table such that the routers may be adjusted in unison relative to the table. In addition the routers are adjustable relative to each other in a seesaw manner about a central cutting axis so as to maintain the axis. The apparatus and process of the present invention is particularly useful for making the male and female cuts of a dovetail joint in a single operation without requiring any adjustment of the routers relative to each other after the initial positioning. Depending on the cutting tool employed, dovetails, splines, rabbet cuts, mortise and tenon joints and countless other cuts may be made.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 1980Date of Patent: May 11, 1982Inventor: William K. King, Sr.
