Patent number: 7524272Abstract: Disclosed is an exercise machine providing an upper body exerciser portion adapted for use with a lower body exerciser and having a semi-dependent retraction system. The exercise machine generally includes a frame adapted to be mounted on a lower body exerciser (though standalone versions are also disclosed) and the upper body exerciser consisting of first and second user members for pulling by a user to provide pull forces, single retraction means for providing retraction forces to the user members sufficient to retract them back to their start positions after being pulled out, and, non-floating combining means coupled to the single retraction means for making the retraction forces semi-dependent on the pull forces, and thereby reducing travel of the retraction means, by coupling the single retraction means to both user members. Drive and resistance means are further provided.Type: GrantFiled: June 12, 2006Date of Patent: April 28, 2009Assignee: Johnson Health Tech Co., Ltd.Inventors: Robert C. Bruck, Mark J. Kannel, Donald E. Stiemke, Nathan Pyles, Ronald H. Carringi, J. Addison Pettis, Daniel D. Budworth

Patent number: 6814772Abstract: An underhood air cleaner (10) includes a plastic housing (12) having an inlet (14) for receiving dirty air, a filter element (18) for filtering the air, and an outlet (42) for discharging clean filtered air. A plastic outlet duct (40) is butt welded (50) to the housing outlet (42) in axially non-overlapping relation, to eliminate axial overlap previously required for a hose clamp, to reduce the amount of underhood space required by an engine air cleaner in the axial direction.Type: GrantFiled: September 13, 2002Date of Patent: November 9, 2004Assignee: Fleetguard, Inc.Inventors: Jon S. Wake, Donald E. Stiemke

Patent number: 6436162Abstract: An air filter housing (12) includes twist and lock structure (46) having a first position (FIGS. 5, 6) permitting axial movement (120) of a cover (44) and base (38) relative to each other, and being rotatable in a first direction (48) from the first position (FIG. 6) to the second position (FIG. 7), and in the second position (FIG. 7) preventing axial movement of the base (38) and cover (44) relative to each other, and being rotatable in a second opposite direction (78) from the second position (FIG. 7) to the first position (FIG. 6). Anti-rotation lock structure (80) provides a rotational retention force holding the twist and lock structure (46) in the second position (FIG. 7).Type: GrantFiled: March 22, 2000Date of Patent: August 20, 2002Assignee: Nelson Industries, Inc.Inventors: Jon S.
