  • Publication number: 20040211082
    Abstract: Having batteries as its primary power source, the Freedom Hair Dryer uses heating coils 10, 15, and 20, or any combination thereof, to generate heat. By connecting the A/C adapter to the A/C adapter inlet 98, you can use A/C current as your secondary power source. With the aid of heat convection material 50, the heat is intensified before being passed on through a heat transfer hose 35, and into a cap 45. All of the parts are protected against heat with heat resistant material 65. The dryer has a pouch which stores the cap 45, and heat transfer hose 35, when they are not being used. This same pouch in FIG. 3, can also be used to carry personal effects when travelling beyond the house. The unit has a cigarette lighter adapter for use in a vehicle. The pouch in FIG. 3 can interchange with the fan section in FIG. 2. The fan 60, helps to accelerate the drying process.

  • Publication number: 20040187992
    Abstract: The quick change rims and wheels are designed to eliminate a lot of the hassles associated with changing a deflated bicycle tire. The rim has spoke locking holes for a single spoke (10) and spoke locking holes for a double spoke (15) wheel. Thus making the rim interchangeable. The spokes have locking springs (35) which keeps the rim securely attached to the wheel. Removal of the rim is accomplished by pressing the locking springs (35) inward. Replacement of a new tire (30) simply requires that you pushes the rim upward onto the spoke (45) until the locking springs (35) clicks. If the user is running tubes with his or her tire (30), the air stem (65) can be removed so that the inner tube stem may be inserted there. Double spoke (45) wheels are strong enough by themselves to stabilize the rim and maintain proper alignment. However, when using a single spoke (45) wheel, the alignment stabilizer plate (55) should be used. The plate has stabilizer locking springs (50) to hold one rim and tire close to the next.

  • Publication number: 20030184260
    Abstract: The Internal Boost-off System is designed to be a user-friendly way to boost your car battery's power. The system can be mounted under your dashboard, in your console, under your seat, or on side of your door. The system includes a plurality of components that combine to achieve a common end. The system has several safeguards in place to promote safety and ease of use. The connection guide (45) prevents improper connection of terminals (25) to terminals (50) and terminal (55) or terminals (50a) and terminal (55a). The cable (10) that connects to the power transfer center is enclosed to avoid inadvertent conducting of metals. The Y adapter (15) affords its users an alternative location in which to connect their starter for greater access should power need to be disconnected in the event of a fire or accident. The system has an adapter that enables it to be used on non-system vehicles. It also has an adapter that lets you run several accessories off of your battery instead of connecting them to your fuse box.
