  • Patent number: 11506105
    Abstract: Method and system are provided for a retractile exhaust tail pipe for vehicles. The system comprises an exhaust tube mounted to an underbody of a vehicle, an exhaust tip slidably mounted to the exhaust tube, the exhaust tip having a plurality of extension shafts fixed on a second end, and an exhaust tip retract module positioned on the exhaust tube circumscribing an outer surface, the exhaust tip retract module having an actuator, a gear, and a plurality of bearings that mate with the plurality of extension shafts on the exhaust tip. In one example, the system reduces a probability of vehicle tail pipes contacting a ground surface in an off-road condition.

  • Publication number: 20100006011
    Abstract: A novel multi-purpose, portable, and flexible working table. More in particular it addresses the make up of a novel all purpose portable work table which can be used to rigidly secure material to perform in any direction such actions as cutting, welding, soldering, gluing, painting, and mitering. The invention presented herein, addressing the object of creating a flexible work table with multiple subcomponents to work on materials of different widths and lengths and at different heights. In addition, this novel invention is comprised of a top surface of which certain parts are removable and which will allow the removed sections to be reconnected at a lower elevation than the stationary sections.

  • Patent number: 6050533
    Abstract: A main structural component (the unit) is disclosed herein which includes having on its front surface two center openings and two clamp like mechanisms, one permanent restraining block and two unique adjustable blocks. The adjustable blocks' length of travel shall be the same as the length of the slotted opening transversing from the unit's front surface to the back. The unit shall be utilized in conjunction with the multiple and distinct set of sub-components described herein. The unit's functionality is manifested when the sub-components are attached to its center, and the complete assembly (unit and sub-components) is installed on top of the inner ledge molding (the stool) of any window. The ultimate object is to simplify the process of stabilizing ladders and assembling localize scaffolds. The unit when used properly, shall completely balance the lateral, vertical, and outward horizontal forces created when an individual is using a ladder or scaffold.
