  • Patent number: 5865215
    Abstract: The instant invention consists of an inner cannula of hosing amenable to transport of a liquid coupled with an outer cannula of hosing amenable to transport of a gas. As respects two embodiments, affixed to outer walling of the inner cannula and to inner walling of the outer cannula are rigid struts, typically three or four, at 120.degree. or at right angles with respect to one another at various points along the respective lengths of the hosing that serve to maintain separation of the cannulae from one another at times when the inner cannula is filled with a liquid and the outer cannula is filled with a gas. A third embodiment is strut free. Each cannula has an ingress end whereat a liquid is introduced into the inner cannula and whereat a gas is introduced via an extrusion found on the outer side of the first manifold ring into the outer cannula.

  • Patent number: 5638776
    Abstract: An internal combustion engine employing two identical piston assembly units, each providing several piston faces of various diameters, oriented and reciprocating opposite to each other within housing which provides chambers to accommodate the several piston sizes. Heat lost through the walls and heads of combustion chambers in primary cylinders from combustion therein is absorbed by incoming combustion air pumped by compressor pistons into plenum chambers surrounding the primary cylinders, wherein elevated pressure is maintained to aid the heat transfer and to provide pressure for scavenging and recharging the primary cylinders. Combustion in the primary cylinders drives the piston assembly units inward, and combustion gases expand into the common secondary system to a pressure determined by the space provided, with plenum air then admitted to scavenge and recharge the primary cylinders, and equalize plenum, primary, and secondary chambers' pressure.

  • Patent number: 5622299
    Abstract: A snowmobile carrying unit fitted to the loadbed of a pickup truck has four plungers held with pins to the downwardly directed four legs of the top portion of a two-piece bedrack which hold the bedrack fast to the sidewalls of the loadbed. An eight wheel dolly rides in channels in the two tracks of the top portion of the bedrack which is held to the bottom portion by pins placed through complementary holes. A circular track atop the dolly receives four wheels on the bottom of a flat rotatable carriage unit with bar on rod locking assembly units received by threaded holes in the floor of the carriage. The leading edge and the trailing edge of the carriage have two slits each amenable to receipt of swivel locks.
