  • Patent number: 7432607
    Abstract: An energy generator comprising a generally flat and partially flexible traffic surface on which pedestrians and traffic may pass. Underneath the traffic surface, a plurality of dynamo cells each have a dynamo therein, each dynamo having two electricity generating elements (magnets, coils, etc) and an operative electrical connection to an electrical load such as a battery, capacitor, light, an electrical network or the like. A first electrical generating element in each dynamo may be disposed so that it moves downward when weight from traffic is applied to the traffic surface, while a second electricity generating element remains stationary, supported by the bottom surface of the energy generator. A spring and bottom support may urge the first (moving) element back upwards when the imposed force is released.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7070089
    Abstract: A multidimensional and easily adjusted container may be created from a single sheet container template having a plurality of horizontal and vertical fold lines and perforation lines extending along portions of the fold lines. A large number of containers having a variety of dimensions may be created by using indicia such as numbering of the fold lines and perforation lines, instructions and so on to indicate to users how to fold the box into various sizes and shapes. A unit dimension of the separation of the parallel lines may provide a regular grid of lines, or the separation distance between parallel lines may be a multiple of the unit distance. Different multiples of the unit distance may be used on a single container template, and the unit distance may be different for the horizontal and vertical fold lines.

  • Patent number: 6279818
    Abstract: A multipurpose adjustable single sheet container for storing and shipping various sizes and shapes of items. The single sheet container is characterized by having end flaps that can be either cut or folded, at the option of the user, for enclosing the ends of the container. The container has vertical fold lines which allow the user of the container to adjust the length and the width of the container for forming different geometric shapes. The container includes a plurality of side panels. Opposite sides of the side panels are divided by vertical fold lines. Opposite ends of the side panels include upper horizontal fold lines and lower horizontal fold lines. The upper horizontal fold lines divide the side panels from a plurality of upper flaps. The lower horizontal fold lines divide the side panels from a plurality of lower flaps. Opposite sides of the upper and lower flaps are divided by vertical perforated lines.

  • Patent number: 6138901
    Abstract: A blank sheet of foldable material has vertical fold lines and horizontal fold lines defined thereon and a tab for forming the blank into a closed shape. By creasing or folding the container along the pre-formed horizontal and vertical fold lines, containers of various shapes may be formed.
