  • Publication number: 20140196328
    Abstract: A very thin edge lit sign is described using a mirrored acrylic sheet or similar material. The mirrored side is engraved to create an Image and the reverse side is painted any color desired to provide illumination in the engraved areas. A bright white LED light strip is enclosed in a piece of trim attached to the top and bottom of the sign. The resulting sign can have vivid multicolor illumination and is thin enough to be magnet mounted to the side of a vehicle.

  • Patent number: 6315091
    Abstract: The present invention provides a brake cooling system for cooling vehicle brakes having a fascia for mounting in a front area of the vehicle. The fascia has at least one aperture therein for allowing air to pass therethrough. The aperture has a first aperture side opposing a second aperture side. The brake cooling system further has a channel structure communicating with the aperture to allow the air to pass through the channel structure. The channel structure extends back from the fascia and has a first channel side opposing a second channel side. The channel structure is constructed to channel air from the aperture to the vehicle brakes when the vehicle is moving in a forward direction.

  • Patent number: 6189959
    Abstract: An improved cushioning bumper and stop member for a pivotal door such as used to cover a fuel opening in a vehicle body which is designed to be indexed by rotation in its mount to a precise position for establishing the door's closed position to create an outer surface flush with the surrounding surface of a vehicle body. The adjustable cushioning bumper member is mounted in a recessed door mount assembly so that it can be manually indexed by rotation to a desirable optimum position establishing the door's surface at a desired planar orientation relative to the vehicle's adjacent body surface.

  • Patent number: 5306361
    Abstract: In the heat treatment in the field of a thermite weld between rail ends, the rail ends and the weld are enclosed within a containment filled with an aluminothermic material mixture. The mixture is ignited and the rail ends and the thermite weld are heat-treated for a given period. After the given period, the aluminothermic reaction products and the containment are removed, and an air quench unit is placed about the weld and rail ends and compressed air is directed at the weld and rail ends for a given time period. After the removal of the air quench unit, the weld is allowed to cool to ambient temperature.

  • Patent number: 5215139
    Abstract: In forming an aluminothermic weld between adjoining rail ends, a sand mold is arranged around the rail ends disposed in spaced relation. The sand mold is formed at least in part of silica sand. The surface of the mold in contact with the rail ends and enclosing the space between the rail ends is formed of one of a combination of silica sand and zircon sand, a layer of zircon sand inwardly from a layer of silica sand, or a thin layer of a zircon mold wash on a surface formed of silica sand.
