  • Patent number: 11926379
    Abstract: The rollover prevention apparatus defines an adaptive steering range limiting device comprising a control unit and a pair of opposing unidirectional brake assemblies mounted to a steering column position detection disc. The rollover prevention apparatus prevents the steering wheel of the vehicle from being turned beyond the threshold of vehicle rollover, but otherwise does not restrict the rotational range of motion of the steering wheel of a vehicle.

  • Publication number: 20200239210
    Abstract: A unitary scented wax article sized and shaped such that when melted, the volume of molten wax produced therefrom substantially matches the critical volume of a spill resistant container adapted to receive the wax article therein. The wax article further preferably “fits” within the spill resistant container as if it were cast in place in the spill resistant container. The invention further includes a packaged wax article apparatus comprising a flexible clear vacuum-formed plastic “clamshell” package having the wax article removably contained therein.

  • Patent number: 10717020
    Abstract: The present invention is a spill resistant container apparatus that eliminates the need for pouring of liquid such as bubble solution into or out of the spill resistant container apparatus in order to use the spill resistant container apparatus. The apparatus, which is preferably provided with bubble solution sealingly contained within the apparatus, will, when opened, prohibit the pouring of liquid out of the apparatus regardless of the physical orientation of the apparatus. The apparatus is preferably of such low cost construction that the apparatus is readily disposable after the bubble solution contained within the apparatus is substantially consumed.

  • Publication number: 20180056934
    Abstract: The present invention is a resettable load-limiting adaptive seatbelt apparatus having the means to readily allow release or disengagement of the seatbelt apparatus at a predetermined load in response to a first situation, and having the means to prevent release or disengagement of the seatbelt apparatus at the predetermined load in response to a second situation, and yet having the means to allow limited non-disengagement load-limiting payout of the seatbelt apparatus at a variable predetermined load in response to a third situation.

  • Publication number: 20180008314
    Abstract: The present invention is a bone growth stimulating and promoting cytokine type biological implant preferably comprising PTH coated with a controlled release biodegradable coating that is implanted preferably in the concave side of a scoliotically curved spine in combination with a bone growth inhibiting type biological implant preferably comprising methotrexate or like anti-metabolite coated with a controlled release biodegradable coating that is implanted preferably in the convex side of a scoliotically curved spine. The insertion of the biological implant is highly non-invasion, especially as compared to more conventional spine surgical methods, and the biological implant does not decrease spinal mobility or spinal range of motion.

  • Publication number: 20160346709
    Abstract: The present invention is a reusable/disposable low cost spill-proof bubble solution kit that eliminates the need for conventional bubble solution and accidental spillage of bubble solution and may be provided in a compact form for use by several users separately and simultaneously. The kit has a plurality of nested container upper portions, a plurality of nested container lower portions, a plurality of bubble wands, and a plurality of bubble creation composition concentrate units contained preferably within a single package. The kit is adapted such that a single compact kit provides components such that multiple containers may be assembled with each container preferably having a bubble wand and at least one bubble creation composition concentrate unit so that each container may be filled with a bubble solution created from a mixture of water and the bubble creation composition concentrate unit to a predetermined amount.

  • Patent number: 9314708
    Abstract: The spill-proof coloring container is an invention that because of its unique geometry and design, will when oriented in any position prevent spillage of liquid contents when filled to predetermined amount. Because of the use of vacuum formed sheet in the construction of the container, the container pieces are compactly stackable and are of substantially low manufacturing cost. The container is principally intended for use by young children to facilitate painting pictures and dying objects such as Easter eggs without the mess otherwise associated with painting and dying. The invention is also intended to help avoid the mess associated with pouring paint or paint powder concentrates otherwise encountered when preparing a cup of paint for general purpose painting.
