  • Saftey harness
    Publication number: 20060054387
    Abstract: A safety harness consists of a harness similar at first glance to other harnesses of the type but with the added feature of a conical waistbelt and specially contoured shoulder pads. The conical waistbelt allows for more weight to be distributed straight on top of the hip bones thus reducing the amount of weight the shoulders must bear. By having less weight on the shoulders, back pain is dramatically reduced. The contouring of the shoulder pads also allows for a greater freedom of movement.

  • Contact conductor for electric vehicles
    Patent number: 5045131
    Abstract: A contact conductor for electric vehicles is produced from an aluminum alloy containing an excess of silicon. The alloy comprises 0.2-1% by weight magnesium, 1-7% by weight silicon and the balance being aluminum and incidental impurities. It has a tensile strength of at least 38,000 psi and a minimum electrical conductivity of 50% IACS.

  • Method for contact conductor for electric vehicles
    Patent number: 4861388
    Abstract: A contact conductor for electric vehicles is produced from an aluminum alloy containing an excess of silicon. The alloy comprises 0.1-1% by weight magnesium, 1-7% by weight silicon and the balance being aluminum and incidental impurities. The conductor is produced by the steps of: (1) casting the alloy into a continuous bar, (2) hot rolling to rod without intermediate cooling, (3) quenching the hot rolled rod, (4) cold deforming the quenched rod and (5) subjecting the cold deformed rod to artificial aging.
