  • Patent number: 5493269
    Abstract: A safety sensor and warning system, for use in combination with a motor vehicle, has sensors for determining if personnel are present in one or more predetermined danger zones proximate to the vehicle, during times when the vehicle is undergoing the loading and/or unloading of personnel; if the presence of such personnel is determined within any one or more of such danger zones related warning apparatus creates a sensory warning signal whereby the driver of the vehicle is made aware of such presence by the personnel; Microwave Doppler Shift Radar detects objects by reacting to a reflected radio signal of controlled strength and frequency which shifts off its original frequency when reflected off of an object of adequate density moving into, or changing position, within the range of the radiated radio signal and its consequent reflection; the sensors for determining if personnel are present in one or more predetermined danger zones utilize this known Microwave Doppler Shift Radar Technology and are electronica

  • Patent number: 5487466
    Abstract: An improved desktop accessories holder is disclosed which incorporates a platform resting on a horizontal surface such as a desktop, and slanting upwardly on an incline as it extends away from a user. A pencil cup is held on the inclined platform so that the open end of the pencil cup faces the user, and pocket members are hung onto the sides of the pencil cup to provide containers for paper clips, typing correction fluid, stamps and the like which a user can readily reach into because the tops of the containers are tilted toward and face the user in the same manner as the open end of the pencil cup. Adjacent the top of the pencil cup is a mesh of rubber bands which elastically grasp the bodies of the items which are pushed into the pencil cup.

  • Patent number: 5281947
    Abstract: A safety sensor and warning system, for use in combination with a motor vehicle, has sensors for determining if personnel are present in one or more predetermined danger zones proximate to the vehicle, during times when the vehicle is undergoing the loading and/or unloading of personnel; if the presence of such personnel is determined within any one or more of such danger zones related warning apparatus creates a sensory warning signal whereby the driver of the vehicle is made aware of such presence by the personnel; Microwave Doppler Shift Radar detects objects by reacting to a reflected radio signal of controlled strength and frequency which shifts off its original frequency when reflected off of an object of adequate density moving into, or changing position, within the range of the radiated radio signal and its consequent reflection; the sensors for determining if personnel are present in one or more predetermined danger zones utilize this known Microwave Doppler Shift Radar Technology and are electronica

  • Patent number: 4967915
    Abstract: A storage rack for the storage of items such as video and audio recordings is shown as having a mounting portion by which the storage rack can be mountably secured to an associated support structure; the mounting portion carries a relatively lower disposed support for providing a generally upward support for the items to be stored on the storage rack and such mounting portion carries a relatively upper disposed constraining support for maintaining the items, stored on the storage rack, between the upper support and the associated support structure; the upper support is also positionable in an attitude generally behind the mounting portion to thereby serve as a support and enable the storage rack to become a free-standing unit.

  • Patent number: 4314317
    Abstract: A flashlight having side by side compartments for storage and a battery respectively. The battery compartment has partial dividers for confining the battery and leaving a space for a contact strip having a leg portion on which the battery sits. A snap in divider fits above the battery to hold a lamp, and the top of the contact strip is bent inwardly to make contact with the base of the lamp. Different color light transmitting caps can be put over the lamp so that the flashlight can be used for spectator voting or approval. Preferably different color caps can be kept in the storage compartment.
