Patent number: 9907992Abstract: A resistance mechanism for an exercising device is provided. The resistance mechanism comprises a housing configured to engage the exercise device. The housing is configured to translate a resistance from a resistance generator to the exercise device. The resistance mechanism also comprises a resistance adjustment mechanism configured to adjust a level of resistance provided by the resistance mechanism. Adjustment in a first direction increases a provided resistance, and adjustment in a second direction decreases the provided resistance. The resistance generator comprises a flywheel coupled to an indexing wedge. The resistance mechanism is configured to, when the adjustment mechanism adjusts in the first direction, push against the indexing wedge in a linear direction towards and against a brake arm, causing the brake arm to engage the flywheel, thereby increasing the level of resistance provided by the resistance mechanism to the outdoor exercise device.Type: GrantFiled: September 26, 2017Date of Patent: March 6, 2018Assignee: Landscape Structures Inc.Inventor: Matthew A. Tschann

Patent number: 9752722Abstract: According to one aspect, a method of installing a display mounting apparatus in a vehicle is provided. A base mount member of the display mounting apparatus is coupled to a surface of the vehicle. The base mount member includes a pair of pivot attachment holes. An angular position of a pivot support member is adjusted. The pivot support member includes an upper mounting surface and a locking pin passage, where the pivot support member is coupled to the base mount member by a pivot pin that passes through the pivot attachment holes. A lower surface of an upper mount member is positioned proximate the upper mounting surface to align a pair of locking pin holes in the upper mount member with the locking pin passage. A locking pin is engaged through the pair of locking pin holes in the upper mount member and through the locking pin passage.Type: GrantFiled: August 23, 2016Date of Patent: September 5, 2017Assignee: ROSEMOUNT AEROSPACE, INC.Inventors: Brian Farnes, Matthew Tschann
