  • Patent number: 7364175
    Abstract: An improved vehicle sway control assembly designed to limit excessive side swaying of an axle of a vehicle during all driving conditions. The system utilizes two frame brackets (77), (97), one axle/spring bracket (129), and two rods (35), (67). The first rod (35) has one end attached to a frame bracket (77) and the other end to the axle/spring bracket (129). It incorporates a telescoping feature allowing the rod end nearest the frame bracket (77) to telescope. The second rod (67) is attached on the opposite side to a frame bracket (97) on one end and a mid section plate (34) on the telescoping rod (35) on the other end. The counter rotational arch of the second rod (67) will force the telescoping rod (35) to extend thus canceling the telescoping rod (35) arch curve travel if it were a solid rod. The overall design will limit axle (166) to frame (78) side movement while providing near straight vertical axle (166) travel.

  • Patent number: 7328711
    Abstract: An orthodontic flossing implement and method of use thereof, wherein the present implement comprises a handle from which extends a flat, narrow arm, and wherein the tip of the arm comprises a slit or aperture through which a desired length of floss is inserted. The narrow arm, with the length of floss threaded therethrough, may be quickly and simply inserted underneath a selected arch or pass of a brace wire, wherein the length of floss hanging from the arm aperture may then be easily grasped and worked within and along the inter-dental space disposed proximate or behind the selected wire arch. Thereafter, the arm of the flossing implement is retracted and systematically moved between each arch of the wire, whilst maintaining the floss through the aperture of the arm, whereupon each respective underlying inter-dental space may be conveniently and quickly flossed.

  • Patent number: 7320720
    Abstract: A filtration device adapted for adjustably interlocking with adjacent filtration devices in a filter bank, wherein inversely disposed flaps on opposing sidewalls, such us an upper flap disposed along a first sidewall and a lower flap disposed along an opposing sidewall, overlap to interlock and prevent air flow between adjacent filters. Each flap may comprise a single member, or may include multiple folded sections, and may be color coded or provided with installation instructions, may be manufactured integrally with an air filter frame, or may be formed separately and adhered to the frame prior to filter installation, and a flap may also include an adhesive for adhering interlocking flaps together.

  • Patent number: 7311183
    Abstract: A clutch brake device comprising two concentric ring-shaped plate sections, threadably and adjustably secured together via four screws. The screws pass through the periphery of the exterior plate and extend into depressions on the interior plate. The interior plate has central tangs that engage keyway slots in an input shaft. The outer plate has tabs symmetrically positioned around its outer periphery, wherein the tabs can receive force from a rod, or the like, to move the outer plate relative to the inner plate to facilitate threaded relative adjustment. Each ring-shaped plate has thereon a frictional surface, wherein each frictional surface is dimensionally different from the other. An alternate embodiment comprises a camming member, having two slidably separable plates. The first plate rides up the ramp sections of a second plate, thereby causing the first plate to separate axially from the second plate and, thus, expand the clutch brake.

  • Patent number: 7311636
    Abstract: A motorcycle wheel attachment for replacement for a rear sheave or sprocket that attaches to the hub of the rear wheel. The outer perimeter of the apparatus resembles the outer perimeter of the replaced motorcycle sheave/sprocket so that the respective drive belt or chain can be affixed around the perimeter. With respect to the belt or chain, the engine and transmission, the attachment functionally replaces the sheave/sprocket. The attachment includes an enclosed inner gear system having a locked and unlocked position. In the locked position, none of the gears rotate with respect to the exterior of the attachment. In the unlocked position, the gears couple to the movement of the exterior of the attachment as well as the drive force exerted by the belt or chain. This coupled movement allows the attachment and wheel to rotate in a reverse direction using the forward drive of the engine, thereby giving the motorcycle reverse power.
