  • Patent number: 9675047
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a pet or animal drying and washing apparatus a two part housing structure with a slidable and removable inner housing shell with guides and an outer housing shell with recesses on their respective side walls so that they can be easily connected together as a single unit and form a heating flow passage there between. The outer shell having inner and outer walls conforming to a contour shape and having support and air channel blocks on a bottom floor to support an inner shell housing having a plurality of slotted vents disposed on side walls and back walls and between bottom floors of the inner and outer shell housings. A blower and heating unit is disposed within a back wall cavity of the outer shell housing and closed by a thermostatic control device to direct heated air in the heating flow passage.

  • Patent number: 6339849
    Abstract: A soccer helmet includes a generally dome-shaped padding layer and a generally dome-shaped shell layer fitting over and attached to the padding layer. The padding layer might have a substantially uniform thickness of approximately ⅜ inches. The shell layer is smooth and has some rigidity such that when the soccer helmet is being worn on a human head, the ball rebounds from the shell layer in about the same direction and with about the same speed, or with a greater speed, than the soccer ball would if rebounded off an unprotected human head. Therefore, the soccer helmet does not interfere with heading a soccer ball. The soccer helmet protects the head from repetitive blows due to, for example, heading. Furthermore, the soccer helmet protects the head from single event injuries such as collisions with goal posts, the ground, and other players' head, knee, elbows, and feet.

  • Patent number: 4051705
    Abstract: A high pressure apparatus for reducing metal rod to wire in one pass through a die by surrounding the rod with a medium under high hydrostatic pressure to maintain ductility of the metal to be formed; the die is supported against a frame member by a die stem having a central opening through which the wire passes to a winding reel. To prevent clogging of the die stem with pressure medium that passes through the die in small quantities, the die stem is heated to a temperature substantially above the softening temperature of the pressure medium.
