  • Patent number: 7536889
    Abstract: An improved rotary rolling or bead rolling machine capable of placing beads, crimps, flanges, turns, burrs, elbows, slits, offsets, collars, flats, or other deformations in sheet material. The machine provides a foot operated roller force and motor control and allows an operator to utilize two hands to manipulate the sheet material placed between the rollers. The machine utilizes an air spring or air-stroke actuator to provide substantial roller force in a small volume. The machine further provides roller adjustability whereby a roller may be displaced relative to another roller.

  • Patent number: 7365255
    Abstract: An optimally coupled stringed musical instrument bridge having an individual bridge assembly supporting and retaining each string. Each assembly comprises an action (height) and intonation (length) adjustable string support assembly and string retention assembly integrally incorporated into the instrument body. The bridge minimizes acoustic energy lost to friction, thereby increasing sustain, minimizes fundamental or harmonic interaction between strings, and maximizes acoustic energy transmitted to the instrument body, thereby allowing the natural instrument resonances to emanate. The bridge and its attributes are especially suited for use with bass guitars.

  • Patent number: 7322750
    Abstract: A locking engine splay cap apparatus and method of use and manufacture comprising a splay cap and an engine block base having uniquely positioned and formed slots and protrusions which integrally mate. The mating provides optimum register of the internal combustion engine main bearing caps whereby cap chatter and inward deformation is minimized. The method of use allows smaller displacement and more efficient engines to produce higher powers without compromising reliability and durability.
