  • Patent number: 7559154
    Abstract: The tape measure may consist of a relatively large tape blade. To accommodate a large blade the tape measure housing is formed as a hollow annulus having an open central core where the blade is wound about the core of the annular housing. Because the housing has a central opening it can be easily carried in one hand. The device also includes a locking mechanism for locking the tape in an extended position and a rewind mechanism for rewinding the tape back into the housing. The rewind mechanism may comprise a belt drive, opposed springs with a cam lock, a linear spring compressed by a gear drive, a motor driven gear drive, a flat spring and gear drive or a magnetic drive.

  • Patent number: 7204475
    Abstract: A vehicle lift for a motorcycle includes a base, a ramp, and a lifting mechanism. The base has a first end and a second end. The lifting mechanism has a first end and a second end. The ramp has an end and a connection point. The connection point of the ramp is pivotally connected to the first end of the base. The first end of the lifting mechanism is pivotally connected to the second end of the base. The second end of the lifting mechanism is pivotally connected to the end of the ramp. The vehicle lift is in a lowered position when the lifting mechanism is collapsed. The vehicle lift is in a raised position when the lifting mechanism is extended.

  • Publication number: 20020131616
    Abstract: A combination hat and headset device (the “hatset”) for improved comfort, hygiene, and consistent microphone placement. The headset is a combination of speaker(s) or microphone(s) for use in communicating with some other system, such as a telephone or computer system. The hat supports the weight of the headset and provides a buffer between the headset and the user. The hat is separable from the headset, so it can be washed independently of the headset. The hat and headset are easily separable, so the hat may be user-specific while the headset is shared among multiple users. The headset is specifically designed to be able to fit any head, with several independent adjustments available for variations in ear and mouth shape, size, and position, and head proportions. The microphone boom is designed to be temporarily movable away from the user's mouth, and then rapidly and accurately restored to a formerly selected position.
