Patent number: 6450742Abstract: A loading and unloading device for transporting vehicles with the use of a truck which is movably and releasably secured to the bed of the truck. The device has a movable vehicle receiving floor with forward and rearward legs pivotally secured to the bed so that the receiving floor can be displaced forwardly and upwardly to lift and carry a vehicle at a height sufficient to permit the placement of another vehicle on the truck bed and beneath the floor. A power cylinder, preferably one or more hydraulic cylinders, is used to selectively raise the receiving floor and carried vehicle upwardly and forwardly of the bed so that the weight of the car is more evenly distributed over the truck. The elevated vehicle is positioned more near the front wheels and axle of the truck to enable better truck handling and control. The configuration of the receiving floor, the truck bed and the pivotally secured legs always forms a parallelogram so that the vehicle being raised is substantially level at all times.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2000Date of Patent: September 17, 2002Inventors: John M. Jenkins, Ed Wilson

Patent number: 5028181Abstract: A quick change right angle drill head incorporates mechanism rotating components within the drill head housing thereby resulting in a more compact package which facilitates use in space-limited locations. A single push button release enlarges a chuck opening to receive a cutting tool. An internally located compression spring becomes operative when reverse thrust forces are exerted against a cutting tool. The design of the present invention may be constructed to either lock the cutting tool into the drill head chuck or release it, upon exertion of the reverse thrust forces.Type: GrantFiled: May 14, 1990Date of Patent: July 2, 1991Assignee: Grumman Aerospace CorporationInventors: John M. Jenkins, Paul E. Kovach, Murray Berger

Patent number: 4956426Abstract: A method and system for regulating the isotacticity of polypropylene in a continuous process for manufacturing polypropylene by the polymerization of alpha-olefins in a fluidized bed reactor system using a model which correlates isotacticity values to catalyst productivity values. A catalyst productivity target value is computed using the model based upon a selected xylene solubles or isotactic index. The instantaneous catalyst productivity of the system is then determined by dividing product production rate by catalyst flow rate which is then compared to the catalyst productivity target value. When the comparison between the instantaneous catalyst productivity value and the catalyst productivity differ the molar feed ratio of SCA to alkyl is automatically adjusted until the catalyst productivity, and hence isotacticity, is changed approaching the target values.Type: GrantFiled: July 24, 1986Date of Patent: September 11, 1990Assignee: Union Carbide Chemicals and Plastics Company Inc.Inventors: George G. Ardell, Reginald W. Geck, John M. Jenkins, III, William G. Sheard

Patent number: 4270552Abstract: A process and apparatus for producing reconstituted tobacco by a papermaking process. Tobacco material is mixed with aqueous tobacco extract or water to wet the tobacco, the resulting slurry is fed to a deflaker in which the bundles of tobacco fibers are reduced to small fiber bundles. The slurry is then directed to an extraction stage after which the water soluble and fibrous components of the slurry are separated. The fibrous material in the form of a slurry is preferably passed through a second deflaker to further separate the fiber bundles and through refiners to prepare the material for web formation. The fibrous material is diluted and passed to a papermaking machine in which it is processed to form a base sheet of reconstituted tobacco and the sheet is impregnated with a concentrate of the water soluble component separated at the extraction stage. The latter component may be subjected to a high shearing force to lessen its viscosity and facilitate the impregnation process.Type: GrantFiled: July 20, 1979Date of Patent: June 2, 1981Assignee: Brown & Williamson Tobacco CorporationInventors: John M. Jenkins, Christopher T. Pedder, Neil G. D. Robertson
