  • Patent number: 7766164
    Abstract: Medical tray and cover apparatus includes a tray body having an open top and an open front; the cover is removable and covers the tray top and front. The tray body includes a plurality of oppositely disposed grooves that provide for the insertion of closure and divider panels. The tray grooves are configured to allow the tray to be loaded with ampoules or vials without being snagged by the grooves. The trays are transparent so that its contents are visible without removing the cover. The trays are stackable with the cover in place. The trays are lockable such that the ability to stack the trays is not interfered with. The tray and cover eliminate particle generation from use and wear that can contaminate the contents of the tray. The tray and cover are capable of being autoclaved.

  • Patent number: 7634982
    Abstract: An improved in intake manifold for a carbureted, vee type of internal combustion engine is comprised of at least two members, a fuel-oxidizer flow member and an isolator member. The flow member is removably connected to the isolator member. The isolator member is connected at a bottom surface to a vee valley of the internal combustion engine formed between opposing banks of cylinders. In a preferred embodiment, the flow member is sealingly split along a longitudinal axis of the engine. The isolation member isolates the flow member from the environment existing in the vee valley while sealing the vee valley. Engine coolant passages and a distributor shaft opening are provided within the isolator. Changing the flow member is accomplished without disturbing the vee valley sealing, the distributor setting, nor the engine cooling conduits.

  • Patent number: 7523730
    Abstract: A carburetor spacer is provided with an isolation member to isolate the flow of atomized fuel from a carburetor to an intake manifold of an internal combustion engine comprising first and second hollow members fitting one inside the other and an elastomeric member interposed between said fitted hollow members. The elastomeric member also serving to thermally insulate the flow of fuel-oxidizer from heat produced by the engine. Thus, the isolation member helps prevent the fuel from reverting to a liquid state before being introduced into the cylinders of the engine and by reducing the heat input to the fuel-oxidizer mixture, less expansion of the mixture occurs before being introduced into the engine's cylinders. Less expansion results in more of the mixture of the fuel-oxidizer can be input to the cylinders resulting in a greater power output by the engine.

  • Patent number: 7448989
    Abstract: An exercise device for strengthening and enlargement of the penis includes flexible members, such as straps or pads, adapted to fit around an erect penis and spaced along the length of the penis. An elongated member is attached at one end to each of the straps or pads and extend downward therefrom. The other end of the elongated members are each attached to an opposite end of a spring member. The opposite end portions of the spring member comprise lever arms. A weight member is attachable to the spring member at a location approximately equidistant between the ends of the spring member. Each attachment joint of the elongated members, the spring member and the weight allows for relative pivoting, rotation or bending at each of the joints.

  • Patent number: 7172706
    Abstract: A liquid separator for separating water from a mixture of water and fuel includes a flow dispersion member which serves to control the flow of the mixture into, through, and out of the liquid separator. The flow dispersion member is placed between a flow inlet channel and a separation chamber and includes a plurality of flow paths that significantly reduces turbulence into and through a separation chamber of the liquid separator thereby improving the separation of the water from the mixture. Further improvement of the separation is provided by the unique arrangement of an inlet port so as to induce a circulatory motion to the incoming mixture and thereby separate some water by centrifugal action.

  • Patent number: 6938631
    Abstract: A ventilator for a covering for a boat or other object includes a dome for covering air venting openings. The air vents are provided in a pair of oppositely disposed ventilator plates. The boat or other covering is firmly clamped between the ventilator plates by means of a nut that can be tightened by hand. The venting openings are disposed one above the other with no obstructions therebetween in order to allow for direct air transfer between the inside and the outside of the cover while preventing weather elements from entering the cover.

  • Patent number: 6386845
    Abstract: An encased air blower (10) includes a motor and fan assembly (21) which is connected to the casing (11) of the air blower (10) by a combination mounting and sealing member (22). The unique mounting and sealing member (22) provides a positive seal between the suction (12) and pressure (13) sides of the air blower casing (11). The unique mounting and sealing member (22) further serves to acoustically isolate the motor and fan assembly (21) from the casing (11) and thereby significantly reduces the operational noise level of the air blower.
