  • Patent number: 6400262
    Abstract: A system has been invented for monitoring at least one tire of a towed vehicle, the system in one aspect using mechanical indicators in conjunction with appropriate electrical wiring circuits and lights or other warning apparatus at a driver's position in a towing vehicle to signal the lowering of a tire due to loss of air pressure in the tire. Certain embodiments of such a system do not require the use of a monitoring camera and related video apparatus. In other systems according to the present invention, one or more cameras are used to provide a real-time view of either the tire(s) of a towing vehicle, tire pressure indicator(s), or both.

  • Patent number: 5349793
    Abstract: A building system in which knock-down buildings are shipped in stacked packages. The skids are standard width for loading on an oil field trailer and cooperating with guides on the trailer. The buildings have a greater width dimension than the skid and outriggers extend outwardly from the skid to support stacking plates between stacked skids at spaced points on each side of the building.

  • Patent number: 4637179
    Abstract: A knockdown building with a floor made up of several panels having a core of insulation material and structural members extending around the periphery of the core made of wood and received between the plywood of the floor panels in which a simple angle iron frame coupled with the strength of the peripheral wooden structural members provides the strength necessary for handling and tailgating a building. The roof is flat and buildings may be stacked directly one upon the other with force transmitted directly through structural members to the angle iron skid. Due to the flat roof, several buildings may be stacked directly one upon the other eliminating the need for stacking racks and due to the simple angle iron skid replacing the massive oil field-type skid of past construction the cube for a building prepared for shipment is drastically reduced.
