  • Publication number: 20120080551
    Abstract: A recreational vehicle cable and hose storage reel includes a shaft having an axis and a support drum rotatably mounted on the shaft for rotation about the axis. The support drum includes a central cylindrical support housing through which the shaft extends. A pair of end flanges are disposed at opposite ends of the central cylindrical support housing. One or more intermediate flanges are disposed along the central cylindrical housing between the pair of end flanges at spaced intervals and defining two or more reel segments. One or more apertures extend through the central cylindrical support housing along each reel segment that is configured to receive and retain an end of an elongated article to be wound about the reel segment. A bracket connects to the shaft and is configured to mount the shaft to a support structure. Other embodiments are disclosed.

  • Patent number: 7281646
    Abstract: An apparatus for mounting a grill to a vehicle bumper is provided. The apparatus for mounting a grill to a vehicle bumper includes a support platform, a support arm attached to the support platform at an end thereof, a pivot mount assembly for attaching an end of the support arm to a vehicle bumper, and a retaining mount assembly. A grill is fixedly mounted to the support platform by securing the grill to grill mounting flanges, which are attached to the support platform. The support arm is pivotal about the pivot mount assembly allowing the grill to be rotated about the vehicle for positioning of the grill for use. In addition, the grill support platform can be pivotal about the support arm allowing greater versatility in positioning the grill for use. The retaining mount assembly is attached to the vehicle bumper at a spaced distance from the pivot mount assembly and functions to retain the support arm in a non-use position against or parallel to the vehicle bumper.

  • Patent number: 4991093
    Abstract: The present invention is a method for examining at least a portion of an object using penetration radiation. The method includes the steps of transmitting radiation from an external source through the object in a plurality of coplanar rays, detecting the attenuated transmitted radiation after it has passed through the object, determining the projection data for said rays, and inverting said projection data to generate the distribution of the attenuation coefficient, wherein said inverting step includes the Direct Fourier Inversion Method such that the projection data is padded and the Fourier coefficients are filtered.
