  • Publication number: 20190217452
    Abstract: The present invention is a device, system and method for removing stuck brake key screws. Specifically, the invention is capable of ensuring a more effective means and method for removing stuck brake key screws from an aircraft's landing gear wheel hub half. More specifically, the invention provides for optimal or virtually optimal engagement of the device with the head of a screw to be removed, and which, it is the inventor's belief, allows for the virtually optimal transmission of screw removal torque to a screw, which should minimize the likelihood of stripping the head of the stuck screw and, if stripped, the need to expend the time and effort to drill out the screw.

  • Patent number: 9700122
    Abstract: The present invention is a loadbearing device known by the Applicants' as the “Central Osteoarticular Relief and Performance Structured Load Distribution System” (“CORPS-LDS”), which is worn by a user to help distribute the weight of a load being carried or borne by the user. More specifically, the weight is substantially shifted from the user's shoulders to their hips while not overly inhibiting the user's range of motion. Furthermore, it is an aspect of the CORPS-LDS to distribute the weight being carried in a manner that reduces the strain on the spine and back while lessening the metabolic expenditure of the user. Moreover, the present invention is a protective vest system that utilizes the present invention's CORPS-LDS.
