  • Publication number: 20200155398
    Abstract: A rotating support stand for an individual with limited mobility is provided in which a pivoting base supports a platform. The base and platform are able to pivot when a release pin that is actuated by a pedal is disengaged from the platform. Following a rotation of the platform, the pin will engage into a locked position and allows the individual supported on the platform to be in a new second position.

  • Patent number: 8935995
    Abstract: A wheeled, manually movable, internal combustion engine powered electric generator is mounted in a rigid frame formed of tubular steel elements. A pair of aligned wheels is pivotally mounted to each opposite side of the frame, and one pair has a locking mechanism. The electricity generating components are mounted to the bottom of the frame. The battery and trickle charger are carried above the engine in a locked compartment. The engine's muffler is disposed beneath the upper outline of the engine to free space for accommodating the battery and the fuel tank, which is completely within the outline of the frame and holds more than 12 gallons of diesel fuel. The frame also supports and contains a locked compartment that houses the electric connector that is used to connect the electric output of the generator to the load.

  • Patent number: 8616159
    Abstract: A wheeled, manually movable, internal combustion engine powered electric generator mounts in a rigid frame formed of tubular steel elements. A pair of aligned wheels is pivotally mounted to each opposite side of the frame. One pair of aligned wheels is provided with a locking mechanism that enables both the front and rear wheels to be locked against rotation. The electricity generating components mount to the bottom of the frame. The internal combustion engine mounts toward the rear end of the frame. A propane fuel tank is carried above the engine by the upper rear portion of the frame. A battery and a trickle charger are carried above the engine and secured in a compartment with a locked hinged cover. The frame also supports and contains a locked compartment that houses the electric connector that is used to connect the electric output of the generator to the load.

  • Patent number: 8313309
    Abstract: A wheeled, manually movable, internal combustion engine powered pressure washer is mounted in a rigid frame formed of tubular steel elements. A pair of aligned wheels is pivotally mounted independently to each opposite side of the frame. Each pair of aligned wheels is provided with a pivot pin mechanism that enables the rear wheels to be lifted of the ground to facilitate pivoting the unit on the front wheels. The internal combustion engine is mounted toward the front end of the frame, and the pump toward the rear end of the frame. The upper front portion of the frame houses a fuel tank completely within the outline of the frame, and the tank holds more than two gallons of fuel.

  • Patent number: 7096780
    Abstract: The present invention contemplates a trash can that one finds in high-traffic public venues. The trash can receives trash through an opening in the top of the housing. A trash by-pass chute is disposed within the housing and transports the trash from the opening in the top to the lower portion of the housing. A compacting mechanism is provided for automatically compacting the trash in the lower portion of the housing. Access to the trash by-pass chute is controlled by a hatch that can be closed by activation of a hatch stop. An actuator automatically activates the hatch stop during operation of the compacting mechanism. The compacted trash may be removed from the lower portion of the housing via a door that opens to allow access through the side of the trash can. The mechanism for compacting trash contents is automatically disabled if the door is open. A controller operates in conjunction with non-contact magnetic sensors to control operation of the trash can.
