Abstract: A method of manufacturing artificial snow including the steps; a) feeding a bulk material into a first apparatus; b) reducing the particle size of the bulk material in the first apparatus to produce a product; c) sieving the product produced at step b); and d) collecting the product produced at step c) for use as artificial snow.

Abstract: An aerodynamic nose cone front trailer that uses a topographical view for reference extending the trailer front all the way to the hitch. The trailer design reduces wind resistance while improving the fuel economy and improving the handling.

Abstract: A molded hollow aerodynamic cap which is attached to the tongue part of the trailers frame. The cap extends from the hitch and is attached to the front of the trailer. The aerodynamic design of the cap gives the towing driver better handling control and fuel saving mileage. Inside the cap is used for storage and other purposes.

Abstract: A vehicle cargo bed tent camper consisting of split rigid covers that when closed are locked together and have a dual function: secure covers that lock both the entrance and the cargo bed. They also protect the contents in the cargo bed from the weather and theft. Secondly, when the covers unlock they are lifted, sliding and extending over and on the cargo bed sides. Their tops or weathered surface then become mattress supports. The cargo bed covers use the top and sides of the cargo bed as supports and guides in the operation of opening and closing. Rigid main frame tent supports with the tent attached are raised and surround it all.

Abstract: A sealing fastener, which expands by the insertion of preferably a screw. The fastener comprises a substantially flat head and two expandable legs. The fastener has further an elastic body, especially a thermoplastic elastomer, molded at least on the lower side of the head by insert injection molding. The elastic body does not contain plasticizers which may be harmful to other plastics (such as polycarbonate and ABS for example) coming in contact with the fastener, all its surfaces are well defined, has well defined properties, and its dimensions are characterized by narrow tolerances.

Abstract: This invention relates to a spring fastener, which comprises side structures, preferably connected to form a U-shaped structure. The two side structures have multiple engagement springs comprising pairs of recesses and respective peaks. The number of these pairs is different on one spring than the number of pairs on the other springs. The spring fastener may further comprise an elastic or resilient body under the top end of the fastener, thus providing noise elimination or dampening. In a different embodiment, the fastener may also comprise rigid supports over the two extremities of its top end, which rigid supports force the resilient body all the way around on the fastened article, so that this configuration provides, in addition to noise elimination or dampening, excellent waterproofing properties.

Abstract: A spring fastener for securing one or more sheets of material on another sheet of material having a first clip with inwardly extended barbs, and a second clip having two sides. One of the sides has a wide angle bent, while the other side has one or more embosses and/or recesses. The fastener also comprises a resilient elastic body extending from the vicinity of the base of the first clip to at least one of the embosses. Examples of resilient bodies are foamed or unfoamed plastisol or polyurethane. The substantially central part of the resilient body is effectively reinforced and held in position by a sealing promoter extending preferably from the vicinity of the base of the first clip toward a middle position between the first and the second sides of the second clip, thus providing to the fastener superior sealing performance.

Abstract: A self adjusting spring fastener for securing one sheet of material on another sheet of material having a clip member with inwardly extended barbs, and one clip with outwardly extended barbs, or outwardly ribs or embosses, or a combination of both outwardly extended barbs and outwardly extended ribs or embosses.

Abstract: A sealing fastener, which expands by the insertion of preferably a screw. The fastener comprises a substantially flat and two expandable legs. The head has an upper side and a lower side, preferably separated by a gap. The fastener has further an elastic body molded at least on the lower surface of the head. A large unexpected improvement is achieved by having the elastic body also molded in the gap between the upper surface and the lower surface.
