  • Publication number: 20200325973
    Abstract: A gearless differential for distributing power from a motor to two follower shafts with ends connected to opposite wheels and to opposed outer disks held in position with a journal mounted casing having corresponding identical regular polygonal raceways with asymmetric sections surrounding a central drive disk there between with equidistant radial slots each holding one cylinder or roller bearing to radially reciprocate as they race along the raceways in a slippage mode where one wheel loses traction; and in a drive mode where the central drive disk power input drives both outer disks connected to the two follower shafts transferring torque evenly to both wheels so there is no movement of the cylinders or roller bearings in the raceways.

  • Publication number: 20200131720
    Abstract: A concrete curb forming and extruding apparatus with wheel adjustment locks, and an adjustable slip form system shaping cementitious material into a continuous curb forced there through by an extruder which receives materials stored in a hopper with dasher. The extruder has a rotary trowel compacting member which continually forces material from the hopper into compressed concrete passing through an adjustable slip form to fill the same and form differing shaped continuous curbing underneath fences or against vertical surfaces or conventional curbing, depending upon the slip form setting.

  • Publication number: 20120015774
    Abstract: An eccentric dual stepping gear roller bearing system, which consists of an input shaft and an output shaft associated with a gear ring holding an exterior row of equally spaced ball bearings, an output gear with an interior row of lesser diameter with fewer equally spaced ball bearings held at a different plane relative the exterior row, and at least one stepping gear with exterior and interior stepping gears having differing radii joined off-set on top of one another and eccentrically mounted on the drive shaft to act on the interior and exterior rows of roller bearings, which act as gear teeth to rotate the output gear to reduce shaft output.

  • Publication number: 20040070168
    Abstract: An adjustable air cushion bicycle seat hydraulic ram system mounted within the seat post of a bicycle with one end of the ram attached to the bicycle seat, and the other end of the ram in communication with an internal reservoir associated with an adjustable pressurized air/oil reservoir to selectively fill the internal reservoir with a pressurized air column to form an air cushion within the ram to provide the desired ride cushion.

  • Publication number: 20040065487
    Abstract: A track vehicle employing a rail track system attached to the sides of the frame of a track vehicle having a continuous track driven by pneumatic tires mounted to the frame proximate each end of the rail system along such that triangular torsion and compression links are mounted to the continuous track such that the apex end slides along the rail and the other ends extending against the track to provides lighter more even ground contact for use on snow and other soft terrain than present track vehicles.
