Patent number: 11937659Abstract: A visor mechanism for a safety helmet, in particular for emergency services, includes a visor, which is slidably mounted relative to an outer shell of the safety helmet in order to cover a front region of the safety helmet, and a visor adjuster, which is coupled to the visor so that the visor can be slid by a sliding actuation of the visor adjuster. The visor mechanism has a locking assembly coupled to the visor and the visor adjuster, which locking assembly, when locked, blocks the sliding of the visor, and which locking assembly (6), when released, allows the visor to slide. The locking assembly can be released by a release actuation of the visor adjuster. A safety helmet may include a visor mechanism of this type.Type: GrantFiled: September 10, 2020Date of Patent: March 26, 2024Assignee: SCHUBERTH GMBHInventors: Karsten Lübke, Michél Schrader, Milad Youkhanna, Michael Jarisch, Sebastian Reitebuch

Patent number: 10322047Abstract: Transfer ramp for Car to wheelchair. This new design safely helps transfer someone from or to the car or wheelchair. This design is self-supporting between the lower structure of the car seat, car structure under the door, the outboard floor riser ledge of car structure under the door and the rear vertical support column of the door frame. It is only supported from the car side. The person can actually sit on the edge of the board before sliding over to the wheelchair. It is more of a platform than a transfer board. It is more fixed than a standard transfer board that is commonly available on most of the market. This design minimizes the 12? gap that exists between the car seat and wheel chair when using a standard transfer board.Type: GrantFiled: September 24, 2016Date of Patent: June 18, 2019Inventor: Timothy Michael Schrader

Patent number: 8166604Abstract: A vehicle wiper assembly may include an arm and a wiper blade attached to the arm. The wiper assembly may be placed into a parked condition by supporting the wiper blade to a wiper lifter. To prevent unintentional removal of the wiper blade, as may occur for example in a car wash, the wiper blade remains irremovable from the arm due to physical interference between the wiper assembly and the wiper lifter. When removal of the wiper blade is desired, the wiper assembly may be manually moved to a position where the wiper blade can be removed from the arm without physical interference between the wiper assembly and the wiper lifter.Type: GrantFiled: January 30, 2009Date of Patent: May 1, 2012Assignee: Honda Motor Co., Ltd.Inventors: Michael A.
