  • Patent number: 7854324
    Abstract: A shipping carrier having a frame with an elongated tube and an elongated retainer attached to the tube. Dunnage made of a compressible material is attached to the retainer and that dunnage has a plurality of space for recesses, each of which has spaced-apart sides and are dimensioned to receive an edge of a component. A guard is attached to the dunnage so that the guard overlies at least a portion of one side of the dunnage recess. Additionally, a subcomponent may be attached to the dunnage with a screw anchor.

  • Patent number: 6763599
    Abstract: A plumb bob apparatus comprises a rigid surface mount member for coupling at a proximal end to a surface. The surface mount member is rotatable about its axis. The plumb bob apparatus further includes a rigid device support member for pivotally coupling at a proximal end to a distal end of the surface mount member. When the plumb bob apparatus is coupled to the surface, the device support member will align vertically. The plumb bob can be mounted on a substantially vertical surface.

  • Patent number: 5152489
    Abstract: An accessory tray assembly for a golf bag cart. The assembly includes a tray having two apertures formed therein with pivotally mounted container holders. A golf ball holder is included having two upstanding, resilient walls spaced apart the distance of a golf ball. Tapered ridges are formed along the inner surface of each wall to hold the golf balls therein. Golf balls are inserted in the holder by pushing the balls by the ridges which cause the walls to resiliently move apart to allow golf balls inserted or removed.End stops are included at the end of the walls to prevent the balls from rolling off the tray and having holes for holding golf tees. Snaps are formed around the perimeter of the tray for attaching straps to hold towels or other items.A female portion of a bayonet mount is formed on the lower surface of the tray. A clamp having the mating portion of the bayonet mount is attached to the golf bag cart by a rubber bushing.

  • Patent number: 4550904
    Abstract: An improved paper support bar for use in a chain driven printing press having a bar (11) that may be permanently attached to the drive chains (17) of a printing press and a plurality of paper supporting fingers (13) snugly disposed thereon for supporting paper (32). Each finger (13) has a hole (27) disposed therethrough that conforms in configuration to the cross section of the bar (11). Each finger (13) also has a plurality of ridges (28) formed thereon to contact the bar (11) and further aid in snugly holding the finger (13) on the bar (11). Each finger (13) also includes an inclined edge (29) formed thereon to present only a very narrow edge (31) to the paper (32) as a support surface.

  • Patent number: 4274034
    Abstract: A glow plug driver adapted to be coupled to a power supply and a glow plug comprising first and second conductive leads for coupling the glow plug to the power supply and an electronic switch in the first lead having conductive and nonconductive states so that pulses of electrical energy can be supplied to the glow plug. A resistor and a capacitor are coupled between the leads in parallel with the glow plug so that the capacitor can charge when the electronic switch is in the conductive state and discharge when the electronic switch is in the nonconductive state. A timer is used to place the electronic switch in the conductive state for a predetermined amount of time. The timer is in turn controlled by a transistor having its base coupled to a junction between the resistor and the capacitor.
