  • Publication number: 20060045983
    Abstract: A process and a manufacturing system for producing an adhesive coated fabric. The manufacturing system has a weaving loom, a dip unit, and a curing unit; the three units being in-line and the fabric passing successively from one unit to the next unit. The curing unit has a plurality of electric heating means. The controls of the weaving loom and the curing unit are linked so that the heating means in the cure unit are turned off when the weaving loom is shut down.

  • Patent number: 6883849
    Abstract: A truck bed extender that enables a user to load and unload heavy loads from a truck bed. The apparatus includes a lower frame longitudinally aligned and securely mounted inside the truck bed. Disposed inside the lower frame is a sliding intermediate frame with at least one length adjustable leg attached at its distal end that supports the distal end of the intermediate frame in an extended position. During assembly, the proximal end of the intermediate frame slides into, and extends from, the lower frame. Disposed longitudinally over the lower frame and the intermediate frame is a moveable upper frame with a support panel attached thereto. When the intermediate frame is fully extended from the truck bed, the upper frame may move longitudinally rearward from the truck bed and onto the intermediate frame so that cargo may be loaded or unloaded onto the support panel.

  • Patent number: 6275654
    Abstract: A cleaning unit is described which includes a heating unit and a recirculating pump assembly capable of supply a given fluid flow output at a given pressure at a dispenser head or wand. The recirculating flow is controlled by an unloader valve connected to the high pressure side of a pump, recirculating a portion of the flow to the low pressure side when the pressure in the high pressure side exceeds some set value. The unit utilizes an oversized pump so that an undersized motor can be used to improve durability and lifetime and low weight.
