  • Patent number: 11952929
    Abstract: A dozer valve bracket includes a first member to secure to a rail. A second member receives a dozer valve. A pivot couples the first and second members with one another for pivotal movement with respect to one another. A stop in the second member contacts the rail to provide a second position to enable the second member to pivot away from the first member on another side of the rail to enable installation of an exhaust system.

  • Patent number: 10562057
    Abstract: An adapter to provide illumination at a grease gun nozzle and a method of attaching the adapter to a grease gun is presented. The adapter comprises a body having a threaded aperture, a non-threaded aperture, and a light source secured within the non-threaded aperture such that the distal end of a dispensing hose of a grease gun extends out of the adapter once the adapter is coupled to the dispensing hose. To attach the adapter to a dispensing hose of a grease gun, one must first unscrew the dispensing nozzle from the distal end of the dispensing hose. Next, the adapter is coupled to the distal end of the dispensing hose using the threaded aperture of the adapter. Finally the dispensing nozzle is screwed back on to the distal end of the dispensing hose that is extending out of the adapter.

  • Patent number: 8172712
    Abstract: The present invention provides a system for providing an improved compact power transfer unit for use in motor vehicles having a front wheel drive transverse based engine and transaxle, and, more particularly, to a power transfer unit for use with a transaxle arrangement capable of providing all-wheel drive or four-wheel drive. The present invention discloses a planetary gear utilizing a fixed ring gear, the planetary gear capable of selectively engaging a low range output from the power transfer unit for propelling the vehicle when driven in off-road conditions requiring higher torque and slower speeds. The vehicle driver can selectively engage a normal, high range where torque flows through the planetary gear directly to the drive shaft with no gear reductions, or the driver may selectively engage the low range where the torque flowing into the planetary gear is redirected and reduced thereby providing higher torque with reduced speed.
