Patent number: 5823925Abstract: Stretching apparatus which includes a flared, concave array of tensioned, smooth elastic cords removably connected to a support, constituting an inexpensive, compact, and flexible mechanism for providing a substantial variety of free-styled or controlled, repeatable exercises. The elastic cords are simultaneously accessible to multiple portions of the body with a wide range of orientations because of the generally concave or frustoconical shape formed by an array of elastic cords which permit multiple multi-directional resistive-type exercises in nearly all directions. The elastic cords preferably comprise shock cords, and the shock cords and/or supporting structures carry visible indicia to indicate the degree of resistance and difficulty of a preplanned routine or to facilitate free-style usage.Type: GrantFiled: January 6, 1995Date of Patent: October 20, 1998Assignee: Blodgett & Blodgett, P.C.Inventors: Timothy D. Webster, Robert T. Wyld

Patent number: 5620518Abstract: An apparatus for and method of coating an article by the use of electro-static attraction of ionized particles which are subsequently cured. The apparatus includes a first foraminous conveyor for carrying the article through a powder coating zone and a second conveyor for carrying the article through a curing zone. The surface of the article which rests on the foraminous conveyor is cleaned of particles as the article is transferred from the first foraminous conveyor to the second conveyor. The first foraminous conveyor is also cleaned of particles after the article has been transferred. After the articles have been cured to form a coating on the article, the article is put through the coating system again except that the article is supported on the conveyor so that the surface which was not coated in the first pass through the system is out of contact with the conveyor.Type: GrantFiled: January 17, 1995Date of Patent: April 15, 1997Assignee: Blodgett & Blodgett, P.C.Inventor: Richard Salisbury

Patent number: 5264255Abstract: A system for coating articles by the use of electrostatic attraction of ionized particles which are subsequently cured. The system includes a pair of carriers for jointly carrying each article through the system, from application of the particles to the article through curing of the particles on the article. Each carrier is capable of carrying the article independently of the other. After deposition of the particles on the article, the article and the carriers are conveyed through a cleaning station wherein one of the carriers is moved out of carrying engagement with the article and cleaned while the article supported by the other carrier. The other carrier is then moved out of supporting engagement with the article and cleaned while the article is supported by the first carrier.Type: GrantFiled: April 27, 1992Date of Patent: November 23, 1993Assignee: Blodgett & Blodgett, P.C.Inventor: Richard Salisbury

Patent number: 4917197Abstract: A weighing system for a vehicle having a spring supportive frame which moves relative to the axles of the vehicle in response to changes in load weight on the vehicle. The weighing system includes at least one position indicator for each axle to be monitored which provides electrical signals which vary in accordance with the built position of the frame relative to the axle which is being monitored. The weighing system also includes a programmed central processing unit for receiving the electrical signals from the position indicator and for calculating the load weight on the frame, based on the value of the electrical signals.Type: GrantFiled: February 10, 1989Date of Patent: April 17, 1990Assignee: Blodgett & Blodgett, P.C.Inventor: Robert K. Waite, Jr.
