Michael Kornely has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Self balancing electric hoist
    Patent number: 4807767
    Abstract: The specification discloses a self-blancing screw jack that is responsive to small manually applied "upset" loads to move the load in the desired direction. A strain gauge measure the total load and is used to establish a null signal representative of the load at rest. This nulled signal is then continuously compared with the actual load signal. When the actual load signal varies from the preset nulled signal by a predetermined value, the drive motor is actuated to drive the load in the direction of the variance. A non-reversible gear means is used to support the load in the at rest position.
