Patent number: 7591286Abstract: A channel shaped extruded duct unit cooperates with an identical duct unit to form a closed duct therewith. The duct unit has at least one integral longitudinally extending attachment formation configured to hold captive relative to the duct unit a plurality of complementary clamp elements adapted to operatively encircle a composite duct and hold the two constituent duct units in their duct defining relationship. The clamp elements have a pair of cooperating integral catch formations whereby a pair of clamp elements can be clipped together to form an operatively substantially endless clamp encircling a closed duct and an integral outwardly directed circumferential terminal flange at each axial end thereof. Generally, semicircular clip units are provided to connect the terminal flanges associated with the ends of collinear duct assemblies.Type: GrantFiled: July 19, 2006Date of Patent: September 22, 2009Assignee: Project Control and Engineering Services (Proprietary) LimitedInventor: Barry Howard

Publication number: 20080115468Abstract: An apparatus, system, and method for guiding an animal includes a hackamore for the purpose of riding without a mouth bit, chains or side shanks. Neck reining is encouraged by applying pressure to the neck and the outside of the lower jaw on the same side, which then encourages the horse to bend in the proper direction. Because of the uniquely designed hackamore, the horse is encouraged to stop with minimum pressure. As the neck rein pressure is applied, the plate twists and applies pressure to the side of the jaw, the horse moves away from the pressure providing more control to the rider. Because of the instant release of the pressure, the horse feels the rider's instant and complete release which provides for easier and faster training of the horse. The adjustable nature of the hackamore allows for the rider to fit various animals unique muzzle structure.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 29, 2008Publication date: May 22, 2008Inventor: Barry Howard

Patent number: 7100300Abstract: A tape measure is disclosed which has a spooled measuring blade mounted via a rotatable connection within a casing (100). The tape measure has impact-protection components. These components may be resilient means (46, 60, 62, 82, 108) arranged between the spooled blade and the case, such as at the rotatable connection. Further impact-protection components are resilient pads (112, 114) which are molded into impact-vulnerable locations on the outer surface of the case.Type: GrantFiled: August 1, 2002Date of Patent: September 5, 2006Assignee: Fisco Tools LimitedInventors: Jonathan Arnold Manley Knight, Barry Howard Lee

Patent number: 6932357Abstract: A gear reducing collet nut assembly is provided for holding a tool bit. The assembly includes an outer grip sleeve that can be rotated to actuate a clamping structure with a bore for holding a tool bit. More specifically, the assembly includes a planetary gear system to amplify torque from the grip sleeve to facilitate effective manual operation. The assembly includes a base member that is securable to a shaft of a rotary power tool, and the planetary gears are rotatably mounted at a plurality of positions on the base member. The planetary gears are driven by a central sun gear that is fixed to the grip sleeve. The planetary gears deliver torque to a ring gear that extends peripherally around the planetary gears. Movement of the ring gear is effective to actuate the clamping structure. In an embodiment, an exterior of the ring gear is threaded to the base member and axially fixed relative to the grip sleeve.Type: GrantFiled: May 9, 2003Date of Patent: August 23, 2005Assignee: Credo Technology CorporationInventors: Barry Howard Jacobs, Timothy D. Baker

Patent number: 6721055Abstract: Provided herein is a device useful for measuring the fineness of a dispersion of particles in a liquid vehicle. A device according to the invention includes a light source, a means for mounting a film of said vehicle of increasing thickness, and a means for producing an electronic image of said film, in which these elements are positioned relative to one another so that the light the imaging means receives is predominantly light reflected from regions of the surface of said film which are disrupted by protruding particles. This is achieved by configuring the device so that the image producing means is aimed into the dark field below the light source, with the image producing means being directed generally at an angle below the angle of reflection of any light reflected from undisrupted regions of the surface of the film.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 2001Date of Patent: April 13, 2004Assignee: Tioxide Group Services LimitedInventors: James Henry Hatfield, Peter Barry Howard, Edmund John Lawson, Alastair Orr Mackenzie

Patent number: 6597152Abstract: A splitting adapter for a battery charger having a power cord for connection to an electrical source, the charger having a single charging receptacle for receiving a connector extension of a battery pack of the type used with cordless power tools, said adapter including a housing having a housing connector extension with a sufficiently similar structural and electrical configuration as the connector extension of the battery pack so that the housing can be electrically connected to the battery charger when said housing connector extension is inserted into the charging receptacle. The splitting adapter also includes at least two charging receptacles, each of which is configured to receive a battery pack connector extension, where the charging receptacles are spaced from one another a sufficient distance that the battery packs will not interfere with one another when inserted into the adapter.Type: GrantFiled: August 23, 2002Date of Patent: July 22, 2003Assignee: S-B Power Tool CorporationInventors: Barry Howard Jacobs, Peter Neumann
