  • Patent number: 8276844
    Abstract: The invention relates to a system for landing UAV's. The system comprises a slingshot structure that includes arm based structure and an axis installed along the arm of the structure and enabling the arm to move around it. The system comprises a base connecting the axis to a platform at which the system is installable. The system also includes a controlled pulling and braking means that connects the arm of the structure and the platform upon which the system is installable and stretchable elastic installed in a stretched manner at a gap formed between two arms and set to connect with a landing UAV. At the landing phase, the controlled pulling and braking of the system essentially breaks the motion of the arm based structure that is propelled to revolve around the system's axis, and propels the structure to move around the axis.

  • Patent number: 5597197
    Abstract: An automobile sunshade cover shades a passenger compartment of an automobile. The sunshade is attached at one end to a pouch for storing the cover, and is arranged so that the pouch is freely suspended by laces from suitable fittings of the automobile, such as the hinges attaching the lid of the trunk to the automobile body. The pouch serves to anchor the sunshade when deployed. The sunshade has a crossbar attached to its front edge which provides a convenient grip for the user during the deployment and folding back of the cover, while acting as a second anchor of the cover when placed under the windshieId wipers. In its operative position, the sunshade covers all the automobile's windows providing protection against the sun regardless of the time of day that the sunshade is deployed or the orientation of the parked vehicle. The sunshade does not cover the automobile's registration plates or rear reflectors.
