  • Patent number: 4711635
    Abstract: A quick change self-oiling sprocket hub having a first ring including an essentially hollow structure with a threaded circumference. The hollow structure of the first ring defines an oil input aperture for filling the hollow structure with oil and an oil discharge aperture for dispensing oil. A second ring is concentrically integrally bound to the first ring an has a greater diameter than the first ring such that the overlap of the second ring to the first ring represents a flange. At least one locating pin is secured to the flange for releasably holding at least one sprocket member to the flange. The quick change self-oiling sprocket hub additionally comprises a compression retaining ring with a plurality of ring apertures circumferentially disposed along its perimeter. The compression retaining ring threadably engages the threaded circumference of the first ring for retaining the sprocket member to the locating pin and for compressing the sprocket member against the flange.

  • Patent number: 4706937
    Abstract: An automatic compressor-jack device which comprises an air compressor, a hydraulic jack and a transmission mechanism. The transmission mechanism, which is driven by a motor through a reduction gear, comprises an eccentrically disposed pin to connect to the piston rods of the cylinders of the compressor and the jack. Therefore, when the motor rotates, the transmission mechanism drives the air compressor and jack at the same time. That is, this one device allows the user two tire repair functions.
