  • Patent number: 4064994
    Abstract: An improved deflection-resistant rack designed to reduce the amount of deflection suffered by a rack because of weight being supported therewith. The rack strength achieved by this invention is the result of a design which utilizes each element of the improved rack as an integral member of its spaced double-bar construction. Frequently elements of the improved rack serve in multi-functional capacities within the improved rack design.

  • Patent number: 4055327
    Abstract: A camper lifter device for lifting and transporting campers comprising an adjustable frame having first and second side members with a lifting assembly adjustably carried on each side frame member. A lifting cable is attached via pulleys to two angle iron lifters slidably carried on each lifting structure dimensioned for fitting underneath each side of a camper to be lifted or lowered with the cables being wrapped around a cable drum mounted on a front structural member of the frame for effectively shortening and lengthening the cable and lifting and lowering the two lifters slidably coupled to the lifting mechanism. First and second structural members are removably attached to the first and second side members for carrying the camper during periods when the camper is not in use but it is desired to leave the camper on the lifter device, i.e.

  • Patent number: 4052492
    Abstract: The method of impregnating substantial amounts of asphalt into fiberboard. Melted asphalt having desired properties for use with fiberboard is atomized and then chilled by passage through cold water sprays, and into a cellulose-fiber-containing slurry. The asphalt used has a high penetration at elevated temperatures and is atomized at a lower temperature than is ordinarily utilized in producing atomized asphalt. The slurry may then be pumped into a chest, stored therein, pumped into a deculator, and then to a head box and flowed on to the wire screen of a Fourdrinier machine, forming a wet mat. Or, the asphalt-containing slurry may be further asphalt-enriched by spraying atomized asphalt into it as previously, and then pumped into a chest enroute to a Fourdrinier machine. Water drains through the wire screen, and the mat then goes to the dryer. The slurry-handling and the board-forming steps are conventional.

  • Patent number: 4051826
    Abstract: The invention is a means and method of injecting fuel into the cylinders of an internal combustion engine wherein the fuel is introduced under pressure to each cylinder through a metallic fuel tube having an integral and preferably multiplyorificed nozzle thereon, the tube and nozzle being charged to a high electrical potential, causing injected fuel to assume a charge and be repelled from the nozzle in small droplets which in turn disperse into smaller droplets due to internal repulsion created by the charge, the result being the rapid and thorough atomization of fuel so that quick and more complete combustion will occur. The applied charge may be reversed at the end of the injection cycle to cause current flow between the droplets and the oppositely charged nozzles to ignite, or further speed combustion of, the mixture.
