Abstract: A three-dimensional reconfigurable framework apparatus, and moreover a three-dimensional reconfigurable vehicle mounting system, having a first group A column supports, a second group A column supports, at least one group C row supports, at least one coupling elements, at least one group B arcuate column supports having an arc angle ?, and at least one group D row supports that are rotatively interconnected to form the three-dimensional reconfigurable framework having at least a first position and a second position, wherein at least one movable attachment mechanism is arranged to vary a radial separation distance R between the at least one group C row supports and the at least one group D row supports.

Abstract: A motorcycle having one or more translucent body panels, such as an airbox cover and a flyscreen. The translucent body panels can be sufficiently opaque to mask the components positioned behind the body panel when the motorcycle is viewed from a distance, but yet allow visual inspection of those components when viewed from a position adjacent the motorcycle.

Abstract: A heating tank assembly for a hot water dispenser having a tank body, an electric heating element, a magnetic switch, and a movable float. The tank body has a plurality of walls and a main heating chamber for storing and heating water. At least a portion of the electric heating element is located within the main heating chamber of the tank body. The magnetic switch is electrically connected to the heating element and acts as a protective switch to the heating element. The movable float is located within the tank body and has a magnet that closes the magnetic switch when sufficient water is present in the tank. The heating tank assembly may also include at least one thermal cutout device. The thermal cutout device acts as a backup and will shut off the heating element if the heating element reaches a preset maximum temperature.

Abstract: A continuous molding machine particularly adapted for but not limited, in principle, to the making of waffles includes a lower conveyor carrying a plurality of forms each constituting a first part of a respective two-part split mold, a second conveyor carrying a plurality of forms each constituting the other part of the respective split molds and means for guiding the respective conveyors in respective paths so that the first and second mold parts are carried from spaced apart positions to positions in which the parts meet in registry and each of the molds defined by the parts is thereby closed and then the first and second mold parts are carried away from each other again so that each of the molds is opened. The conveyors carrying the mold parts may be passed through an oven to different extents so that the respective conveyors are heated differently and means are provided for aligning the mating mold parts despite different thermal expansions of the conveyors.
