Patent number: 9132311Abstract: A reformer exercise apparatus is disclosed that has a generally rectangular frame. The rail portions of the frame each have an upright outer wall and a hidden outwardly open slot therein. A foot bar support assembly movably carried by each of the outwardly open slots supports the foot bar. Each foot bar support assembly has an elongated slide plate movably supported within the slot, a hook plate fastened to the slide plate, and a foot bar support arm rotatably and slidably fastened to the hook plate. A pair of tubular risers each having a lower and upper roller therein at the head end of the frame direct arm cord ends to a cord retraction assembly mounted on the carriage. The retraction assembly mounted to the carriage releases the cords by pivoting either one of the shoulder stops toward the foot end of the frame.Type: GrantFiled: March 13, 2014Date of Patent: September 15, 2015Assignee: Balanced Body, Inc.Inventors: Brian Masterson, Elger Oberwelz, James R.

Patent number: 8047506Abstract: The present invention is directed to an apparatus for distributing a cable-pulling composition onto a cable as it is being pulled through a conduit. In one embodiment, the cable pulling composition is a block of an enhanced composition, e.g., consisting essentially of boron nitride that facilitates the pulling of cables through conduits. The invention further relates to a method for pulling cables through conduits by applying an effective amount of boron nitride composition onto the cable surface through the use of the cable-pulling apparatus of the invention.Type: GrantFiled: November 1, 2006Date of Patent: November 1, 2011Assignee: Momentive Performance Materials Inc.Inventors: Joerg Student, Rickson Sun, Andy Switky, Jesse Fourt, Mian Ding, Chunlin Yao

Patent number: 7900892Abstract: The present invention is directed to enhanced compositions that facilitate the pulling of cables through conduits. In one embodiment, the composition comprises a sufficient amount of boron nitride, which, upon application onto the cable surface, allows the cable to be pulled faster and/or with less force through the conduit than without the boron nitride present. The invention further relates to a method for pulling cables through conduits by applying an effective amount of boron nitride composition onto the cable surface. Lastly, the invention relates to an apparatus for distributing a cable-pulling composition comprising a block of boron nitride onto a cable as it is being pulled through a conduit.Type: GrantFiled: November 1, 2006Date of Patent: March 8, 2011Assignee: Momentive Performance Materials Inc.Inventors: Joerg Student, Rickson Sun, Gregory W.

Publication number: 20100154333Abstract: Structural members, building structures, and methods for making them, are provided that are less prone to develop squeaks. The methods include, in one aspect, placing at least one panel on the flange surfaces of joists with an activatable adhesive provided between the panel and the flange surfaces to bond the flange surfaces to the panels in an effective long lasting manner. In another aspect, adhesive is introduced into a groove array in a joist flange surface to attach a panel pre-positioned on the grooved flange surface. Building frame structures, such as subflooring assemblies, made by the methods are also provided.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 18, 2008Publication date: June 24, 2010Applicant: HUBER ENGINEERED WOODS LLCInventors: Brian M.
