  • Publication number: 20070037123
    Abstract: An endosseous dental-implant apparatus of enhanced structural strength, simplicity, and installation convenience, the UNI-PLANT™ achieves positive indexing engagement between the primary-implant and its mating secondary-implant member via employment of TRULOCK™,—a male into female indexing-device embodied as either a single abaxial asymmetrical indexer or plural such indexing stations;—discovered to improve strength over other commercially available dental-implant indexing configurations. By employing one or more such smoothly contoured ‘curvilinear’ male/female-indexers the heretofore need of traditional tool-engaging surfaces, such as hexagonal or tri-lobed shapes is advantageously to eliminated;—while also facilitating a novel tool-free delivery system from factory-sealed sterile-vial directly to the patient's oral-cavity.

  • Patent number: 4833442
    Abstract: An anti-theft security device, attachable to various types of parked vehicles, such as motorcars, motorcycles, light-aircraft, etc.; said device having a preferred wedge shaped profile as viewed installed from the wheel axial direction, and having clincher like appendage elements extending radially inwardly therefrom toward the wheel-axle on both opposed sides of the tire and rim-flange in a jaw like manner, thereby rendering the vehicle essentially immobile until said security device is simply detached by the vehicle-owner through means of a distensible-jaw element which is released by an integral latch/lock member; including an optional electronic audio-alarm provision whereby intimate contact between tire-tread and the armature/wedge-ramp acts to detain a switch-lever interconnected with the said lock, so that attempted forced removal of the wheel-immobilizer assembly activates an electronic audio-alarm circuit of substantially conventional design powered by enshrouded d.c.

  • Patent number: 3960437
    Abstract: A safety-reflector device universally adaptive to spoke wheeled vehicles such as bicycles; said reflector being suitably streamlined and attractive in appearence while functioning to create a visual cyclodial pattern of highly identifiable movement during normal wheel rotation under night-time use conditions; said reflector having unique captive attachment means via rotation of wafer-like half sections about a common interconnecting point as may be centered between any two adjacent spoke members, with elongated ends overlaping thus captive spokes.
