  • Patent number: 6408992
    Abstract: An adjuster for establishing the non-braking position of a vehicular brake pad assembly which takes the form of a shaft that is mounted in a sleeve with the inner end of the shaft to threadably engage with a series of female threads mounted within the sleeve. The shaft includes a manually connectable star wheel. A seal is located between the sleeve and the shaft which prevents entry of dust and water within the sleeve. A star wheel is mounted on the shaft and is manually connectable to affect rotation of the shaft relative to the sleeve which will result in the shaft longitudinally moving relative to the sleeve.

  • Patent number: 5406740
    Abstract: A bait tank which has a smoothly contoured interior wall surface of the tank so that the fish that are swimming in the tank will not come into contact with any protrusion. Inlet water within the internal chamber of the tank is supplied in a direction tangential to the wall surface of the internal chamber of the tank to provide a continuous directional current for the fish to swim into. The access opening through the top of the bait tank is closable by a removable cutting board. A light is provided within the bottom of the tank to provide illumination of the internal chamber of the tank.
