Publication number: 20070109140Abstract: This is an Abstract for an Electrical Smoke Detector that mounts in the ceiling or on the wall near the ceiling. Smoke detector would be installed at a height that would meet The Fire Department code specification. This would be mounted on an amateur plate with a breaker switch (6×6) with a snap close casing. This system would be equipped with a 9 volt battery backup in case the electricity failed. There would be a red tester button and a low battery indicator that sounds to warn that battery needs changing. There would be a build in sensor that would detect smoke or heat. Person with older homes could get a grant thru CAP to install the new smoke detectors.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 14, 2005Publication date: May 17, 2007Inventors: George Nicks, Minnie Jackson

Publication number: 20070062242Abstract: A semi-automated method for manufacturing a woodworker's holdfast tool from an unheated length of mild steel rod includes forging a flattened contact surface at one end of the rod and subsequently bending the rod upwardly away from the contact surface and forming the crook portion in an automated wire forming machine configured to exceed the desired working angle during cold forming of the crook portion to account for the resilience of the rod when the bending force is removed.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 10, 2006Publication date: March 22, 2007Inventors: Joel Moskowitz, Richard Lombardi, George Nick

Patent number: 6915873Abstract: A suspended drive axle and agricultural tractor having same including a central housing having inboard final drives and left and right axle housing suspended therefrom by upper and lower control arms with axle shafts extending outwardly therefrom to which wheel and tire assemblies are mounted. A constant velocity universal joint is provided between the inboard final drives and the axle shafts. The universal joint having a pair of journal members and a coupling yoke that radially surround the drive and driven yokes of the joint whereby the axial length of the universal joint is minimized to enable the wheels to be located on the axle shafts at 60 inch tread spacing. This allows the drive axle to be used on a row crop tractor without altering the structure of the vehicle from a conventional row crop tractor whereby the characteristics of a row crop tractor are maintained.Type: GrantFiled: September 4, 2003Date of Patent: July 12, 2005Assignee: Deere & CompanyInventors: Terrill Wayne Woods, Dennis Aaron Bowman, Mervin Peter Kizlyk, Norman Frederick Lemmon, Kendall Lee Giesmann, Aaron James Peterson, George Nick Schmitz, Peter Alan Kosmicki, Joe L.

Patent number: 6041709Abstract: A peristaltic type pump for pumping ink to a printing section of a corrugated paperboard finishing machine capable of both pumping ink to the printing section and pumping excess ink from the printing section back to an ink supply as well as pumping a cleaning fluid to the printing section and pumping excess cleaning fluid back to a sump. The pump includes at least one pumping element for pumping the ink or cleaning fluid to the printing section and at least one but preferably two pumping elements for pumping the excess ink or excess cleaning fluid back to the ink supply or sump respectively. Each pumping element includes a rotor having at least two but preferably three or more lobes for compressing two portions of a semicircular portion of a flexible tube surrounding the rotor to confine a finite quantity of ink or cleaning fluid in the tube between two of the lobes in sucession during rotation of the rotor to force the ink or cleaning fluid from an inlet to an outlet of the pump.Type: GrantFiled: November 12, 1998Date of Patent: March 28, 2000Assignee: USAdvantage, Inc.Inventors: Robert Ray Wells, George Nick Hochman
