  • Tire inflation system with integrated wheel seal
    Patent number: 8397774
    Abstract: An axle assembly includes a non-rotating component and a wheel hub supported for rotation relative to the non-rotating component about an axis. The wheel hub includes a hub air passage that has a hub inlet and a hub outlet to be fluidly connected to at least one tire. An air chamber is formed at least in part between the non-rotating component and the wheel hub. The air chamber receives air flow from an air source and directs air flow into the hub inlet. A seal assembly engages the wheel hub to seal the air chamber.

  • Adjustable multiple nail holder-extension
    Patent number: 7963193
    Abstract: An improved nail holder that allows the user to safely and comfortably hold a multiplicity of nails while extending his or her reach into hard-to-reach or otherwise inaccessible places. The present invention represents a significant improvement over those inventions disclosed in the prior art in that it: (1) permits the user to hold and position a multiplicity of nails at the same time, (2) provides the user with an ergonomic handle that is comfortable, efficient and safe to hold, (3) extends the reach of the user beyond arm's length and into hard-to-reach or otherwise inaccessible places, and (4) moves the nails held therein horizontally and/or vertically so as to permit operation in additional hard-to-reach or otherwise inaccessible places.
