  • Patent number: 11912545
    Abstract: A wireless hoist system including a first hoist device having a first motor and a first wireless transceiver and a second hoist device having a second motor and a second wireless transceiver. The wireless hoist system includes a controller in wireless communication with the first wireless transceiver and the second wireless. The controller is configured to receive a user input and determine a first operation parameter and a second operation parameter based on the user input. The controller is also configured to provide, wirelessly, a first control signal indicative of the first operation parameter to the first hoist device and provide, wirelessly, a second control signal indicative of the second operation parameter to the second hoist device. The first hoist device operates based on the first control signal and the second hoist device operates based on the second control signal.

  • Patent number: 5394890
    Abstract: A device for reversing growth direction of ingrown toenails is provided with a first flat portion which is adhesively secured to a top surface of a toenail, such that the front outer corners of the first portion are positioned above and immediately adjacent to ingrown toenail corners, and a second, wedge-shaped portion which is integrally attached to the first portion. The inner surfaces of the first and second portions are provided with a plurality of parallel rows of teeth which are angled, so as to allow meshing of the teeth of the first portion and the second portion, while preventing withdrawal of the wedged portion from its engagement with the first portion, when in place. The wedge is gradually pushed between the top surface of the toenail and the bottom surface of the first portion, causing uplifting of the ingrown toenail corners and relief of pressure on surrounding tissue.

  • Patent number: 5215133
    Abstract: The device of the present invention is intended to temporarily support upended liquid containers for the purpose of absolute evacuation and reclamation of any and all residual liquid content remaining therein. The device has a funnel-shaped retaining body which has a wider open top and a smaller diameter open bottom. A non-continuous side wall has an elongated opening therein which, due to resiliency of the material from which the retaining body is constructed, allows a limited expansion or contraction of the retaining body depending on the size of a liquid container positioned therein. A hook-shaped attachment rod allows to suspend a retaining body from a stationary support.

  • Patent number: 5195164
    Abstract: An electric hot air blower has a casing having a discharge portion containing a heating element and variable speed motor driven air blower and provided with a pistol grip handle for manipulation of hot air blower. A pair of pivotally mounted triggers frontally positioned in vertically spaced relationship in the center of the pistol grip handle selectively operate respective ones of a pair of spring-biased open incremental switches disposed in the handle for variably controlling the air blower motor speed in concert with the intensity of the heating element. The triggers are lockable in a selected position between an off and the maximum position of the incremental switch actuated thereby by a releasable locking button engageable with locking teeth on the trigger.

  • Patent number: 5088585
    Abstract: Routine hand-labor cargo processing is an integral component of world commerce. The present invention permits the incorporation in one-and-the-same freight floor surface of the capacity for near-instantaneous conversion from the traditional static norm to the fluidity of an appropriately-spaced roller ball floor surface constructed of a positively unfailing composition. This convertability aspect offers an incomparable cost reduction in both labor and equipment in the cargo handling field. This floor system allows for those transfer balls 20 to retract from and project above its floor surface at the will of the operator.

  • Patent number: 4332210
    Abstract: A flagpole system for automatically displaying and furling a flag employing a motorized drive in which a frictional roller causes the flag to be loosely folded without a spindle into or unfolded from a waterproof cylindrical housing. The system employs both light sensitive and moisture sensitive circuits to automatically activate the DC motor for furling and unfurling the flag. During furling of the flag, when the flag is fully furled, a welt along the side of the flag causes an amperage overload in the motor to take place, activating an amperage overload switch and turning off the motor. At the same time the amperage overload switch reverses the current so that, when the motor is reactivated to lower the flag, the flag will be unfurled. A similar welting overload system is used in the unfurling operation. The drive roller can include uni-directional flicking members on their surface for a flicking action in the furling operation only. The system can be grounded mounted (FIG. 5) or wall mounted (FIG. 9).
