  • Patent number: 6668392
    Abstract: An enclosure for a portable toilet comprises at least two sections, one of which has a door opening and a door mounted thereon. The enclosure door is moveable between a closed position and an opened position. Each enclosure section includes a first end and a second end. A tab having a hole extends from the first and a hole is formed in the second end of each enclosure section. When assembled, the first end of one section abuts the second end of the adjacent section. To ensure a substantially smooth seam or junction between the two sections, the tab extends from the inner surface of one section, across the junction between the two sections, to lie against the inner surface of the adjacent section. The tabs are aligned with the holes, and are sized such that the tab holes align with the section holes. A fastener is passed through the section hole and the tab hole to secure the two sections together. Mounting tabs are also provided at the bottom of the enclosure to secure the enclosure to the base.

  • Patent number: 5946903
    Abstract: An external combustion engine for driving a power shaft, which includes a rotary combustion chamber having an eccentric rotor and a plurality of telescoping vanes extending from the rotor to the inner walls of the combustion chamber. The vanes divide the combustion chamber into individual compression and combustion cells. As the rotor rotates the cells become progressively smaller in volume compressing a flammable mixture of fuel and air. At the point of maximum compression the mixture is ignited. The expanding gasses are permitted to escape into an adjacent expansion chamber in which rides a reciprocating piston, driving the piston and producing work.

  • Patent number: 5926994
    Abstract: An artificial fishing lure, composed of a plastic injection molded body, having hangers for hooks. a line tie point, a lip for diving, a rib at each side for controlling water flow. an elliptical body shape, a groove molded into each side of the body beginning at the nose and continuing to a point just aft of the nose, where a fin assembly is mounted. Water is passed along the groove, through a channel in the rib at the side of the body, where it is forced outward causing an increase of pressure on the underside of the fin, resulting in a lifelike motion of the fin.

  • Patent number: 5759358
    Abstract: Processes are provided for producing a pure grade of acrylic acid having residual aldehyde levels under 10 parts per million. The processes apply selected groups of amines sequentially and, preferably, continuously in selectively reducing, for example, acrolein and furfural, and may be advantageously conducted in the presence of maleic acid and maleic anhydride impurities.

  • Patent number: 4232862
    Abstract: A hurdle obstacle utilized curved bars of selected sizes each supported in the apex of a standard module conical base such that a main portion of the bar extends parallel to the ground for jumping over or moving beneath. One end of the obstacle bar is swivelably engaged in the base by means of a flanged bushing which receives one end of the bar so that upon impact with a user, the safety obstacle device swivels out of the user's path to prevent tripping or other injury.
