  • Patent number: 10857990
    Abstract: A hydraulic system bleed system for a vehicle, including a hydraulic system bleed device, including a pneumatic air cylinder containing air in an interior portion thereof, a ram rod disposed at least partially within the pneumatic air cylinder, such that the pneumatic air cylinder and the ram rod are disposed between a steering wheel and a brake pedal of the vehicle, and a recoil spring disposed within the interior portion of the pneumatic air cylinder to provide a springing reciprocating movement for the ram rod, and a mobile device to provide a signal to the hydraulic system bleed device to initiate the reciprocating movement such that the brake pedal is depressed.

  • Patent number: 7735793
    Abstract: A locking bracket for securing virtually any commercial grade hand truck to the cargo bed of a delivery truck or any other surface for safety and security. The locking bracket generally comprises a flat mounting plate, a kick-lever pivotally attached to the mounting plate for kick-release, and a push rod attached to the other end of the lever. The push rod extends to a clamping mechanism including two upwardly protruding spaced blocks housing opposed laterally-closing clamping teeth. In operation, a hand truck is locked in place overtop in a standing position with the center strut of its nose plate clamped between the teeth. Urging the lever forward with one's foot drives the push rod which opens the clamping teeth for quick-kick release of the hand truck.

  • Publication number: 20070012533
    Abstract: A hydraulic system bleed device for applying pressure to a pedal associated with a hydraulic system so as to permit the hydraulic system to be bled by a single person. The hydraulic system bleed device includes a cylinder with an internal compression spring, extension shafts extendable from within the cylinder, a telescoping extension shaft, a pedal attachment assembly, a steering wheel attachment assembly, and a lever for compressing the cylinder spring to provide an urging force against a hydraulic system pedal.
