Abstract: An odor removal assembly comprising a flexible bag that, when open, allows a user to place items into the bag's interior, and when closed, prevents a user from placing items into the interior of the bag. The bag may include a fastening mechanism for closing the bag. The assembly includes an ozone generator that generates ozone and expels the ozone through a conduit that extends between an outlet of the ozone generator and the interior of the bag. The assembly may also include an ozone destruction catalyst for removing ozone from the interior of the bag. In various embodiments, the odor removal assembly includes an automatic shutoff system for preventing the ozone generator from generating ozone gas if: the ozone level exceeds a pre-determined level outside of the bag, if the ozone level exceeds a pre-determined level within the interior of the bag, and/or if the bag is open.

Abstract: An oxidizing agent generating device and a liquid application device combine a gaseous oxidizing agent with a liquid creating an oxidizing agent-liquid material that is applied to a surface to incapacitate and destroy pathogens on the surface. The oxidizing agent ozone is combined with the liquid and the mixture is applied under pressure to the surface to render the pathogens ineffective. A surfactant is added to the mixture decreasing the tension of the mixture when it is in contact with the surface increasing the amount of dissolved ozone in contact with the surface.

Abstract: A clutch assembly for connecting a drive member or a driven member to a shaft. The clutch assembly includes a tubular cup assembly that interfaces with a tubular receiver. The cup nests within the receiver, and they are secured by screws. The shaft is received within the cup whereby a non-circular element connected to the end of the shaft is received within a chamber having a non-circular interior sidewall. The receiver is connected to a drive member or a driven member. When a component connected to an end of the clutch assembly ceases to rotate, and a component connected to the opposite end of the clutch assembly continues to rotate, the clutch will prevent damage to either component by failing.

Abstract: A support frame for elevating an object includes an object engaging portion connected to a guide assembly. The guide moves along a support assembly by actuation of an elevation assembly. The support assembly may be releasably connected to a base by a removable pin allowing the device to fold for storage. The guide includes a safety mechanism whereby a pin connected to the guide slidably engages apertures in the support assembly. The elevation assembly may include a threaded member connected to the guide, and an elongated support member threadably engaging the threaded member. Rotation of the elongated support member moves the guide along the support and elevates the object engaging portion. The elevation assembly may include a pulling force member connected to the guide assembly.

Abstract: Various embodiments of a vehicle jack an include an elevation assembly and a guide bracket. The elevation assembly includes a threaded member and an elongated support member, with the elongated support member configured to threadedly engage and rotate relative to the threaded member. The guide assembly includes a guide bracket configured to engage the threaded member such that the threaded member moves with the guide assembly as the guide assembly moves along a path defined by a longitudinal axis of the elongated support member. This movement raises or lowers a vehicle positioned on the jack. Various embodiments address the assembly of a vehicle jack by engaging a threaded member with an elongated support member and a guide bracket. Rotation of the elongated support member about its longitudinal axis causes the threaded member to move the guide bracket along a path defined by the longitudinal axis.

Abstract: A small vehicle jack, having the ability to lift vehicles having a variety of wheel bases, and axle configurations. A support frame provides stability for a vertical bar, which supports a winch means. The winch means raises a lifting frame using a strap means, and the lifting frame which follows the vertical bar using an improved sleeve means, in which rollers are used on either side of the vertical bar. The jack may have adjustable and detachable wheel support means, in which the wheels of the vehicle are used as the contact points to raise the vehicle. The jack may also be used without wheel support means, but instead use hook means to attach to an axle.

Abstract: Provided are a portable winch assembly for use in lifting equipment and a planetary reduction gearbox that may be incorporated into existing winch assemblies. The planetary reduction gearbox of the winch assembly includes a primary sun gear, a first plurality of planet gears, a secondary sun gear, a second plurality of planet gears, and a ring gear. The primary sun gear is fitted with a drive head, which is configured for engagement by a handheld torquing device, such as an electric drill. The rotation of the primary sun gear results in the subsequent rotation of a cooperatively engaged gear-driven lifting assembly, to which a rope, cable, or strap may be attached for hoisting equipment. Optionally, a handle assembly may also be included, the handle being selectively disengageable from the lifting assembly, so that the handle may be remain stationary with respect to the rotation of the primary sun gear.
