Patent number: 8205306Abstract: The present invention discloses a single-part zipper pull comprised of two rotatable halves secured together on a pin. On one end of the zipper pull is a handle by which fingers can grasp the pull. On the other end of the zipper pull are clasps to latch to the zipper slider. The complete clasp is made up of the two J hooks, one on each half. The handle is made complete by rotating the two halves of the zipper pull together. In the open position, the J hooks have a gap by which to engage the zipper slider crown. In the closed position, the clasps come together making a complete loop thereby securing to the zipper slider crown. Once the zipper pull tab is closed, a latch and receiver engage to prevent the two halves from rotating to an open position.Type: GrantFiled: July 12, 2009Date of Patent: June 26, 2012Inventors: Frank Gerald Kovach, Brian Eugene Cook

Publication number: 20070156523Abstract: A method to process an incentive includes, at a commerce server, receiving an incentive identification code that identifies an incentive amount to be used for at least a partial payment of a transaction. A determination is made at the commerce server whether the incentive is valid. If the incentive is determined to the valid, incentive information is communicated to a payment processor server from the commerce server, the incentive information including an authorization that authorizes the payment processor server to transfer the amount as the partial payment for the transaction.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 30, 2005Publication date: July 5, 2007Inventors: Deborah Yee-Ky Liu, Charles Eugene Cook, Michael R.

Patent number: 7226257Abstract: A router bit with a position stop is disclosed. The router bit includes a body with a collar extending outwardly from it and a shaft extending outwardly from the collar. At least one cutter blade is mounted to the body and the cutter blade may be used to cut a profile into a workpiece. The collar has a first diameter, the shaft has a second diameter and the first diameter is larger than the second diameter. The collar has a face formed a spaced distance or height from the transition point between the collar and the body. The face rests against the upper surface of a chuck when the shaft is secured in the chuck. This allows the body and hence the cutter blades to be held a predetermined distance above the upper surface of the chuck. A second router bit may be provided to cut a complimentary second profile in a second workpiece.Type: GrantFiled: April 6, 2006Date of Patent: June 5, 2007Assignee: Black & Decker Inc.Inventors: Jeremy A. Lowder, Thomas Curtis Parker, Robert William Yeager, Russell Eugene Cook

Patent number: 6450472Abstract: A locking assembly to secure an all-terrain vehicle on a platform includes a securing member attached to the all-terrain vehicle and a receiving member attached to the platform. The receiving member includes a base support member that is mounted to the platform and a post member that is perpendicularly attached to the base support member. The locking assembly additionally includes a locking clevis that is attached to the post member that is designed to couple with the securing member. The securing member includes a base plate that is attached to the front end of the frame of the all terrain vehicle, while a locking cantilever bar extends from the base plate. In operation, the locking cantilever bar is positioned proximate the arms of the locking clevis, and the securing member can thereby be coupled with the receiving member to secure the position of the all-terrain vehicle on the platform.Type: GrantFiled: November 13, 2000Date of Patent: September 17, 2002Inventor: Cecil Eugene Cook, Jr.

Patent number: 6203112Abstract: A road cutting apparatus is detachable and connectable to a self-propelled front end loading machine. The cutting apparatus includes a rigid frame structure having a connecting section for attaching the frame structure to the front end loading machine and a planar mounting section. An engine including a power take off (PTO) is mounted to a top surface of the mounting section for driving the circular cutting apparatus, and a belt drive is attached to the PTO. The belt drive includes a driving pulley and a following pulley, and a belt disposed between the driving pulley and following pulley provides for transfer of torque therebetween. A driven shaft with a first end and a second end is mounted to the mounting section and attached to the following pulley at its first end, and a retainer blade is connected to the second end for coupling to a circular cutting blade. A cutting assembly is mounted on the mounting section which includes the circular cutting blade and a cooling system for cooling the cutting blade.Type: GrantFiled: May 3, 1999Date of Patent: March 20, 2001Assignee: American Standards Construction Corp.Inventors: Eugene Cook, William Isenberg
