  • Patent number: 6105905
    Abstract: A railway gate system comprising a railway station having an elevated platform area for passengers to stand and a recessed area with a track and a train movable therealong. A gate has a continuous upper restraining rail along its length. A plurality of cylindrical posts each have an upper end secured to the lower surface of the rail and a lower end. A horizontal recess and vertical apertures are located in the edge of the platform area adjacent to the track. The recess is adapted to receive the rail when lowered to an inoperative orientation and with the circular apertures adapted to slidably receive the posts. Motion imparting mechanisms include elongated pistons having upper ends secured to the lower surface of the rail, central extents extending through selected spaced circular apertures in the platform and lower ends. Hollow cylinders are located beneath the selected spaced circular apertures having open upper ends to receive the pistons.

  • Patent number: 6079742
    Abstract: A tire changing system with frame mounted jacks and lug wrench comprising a vehicle having a plurality of wheels and a frame with a pair of longitudinal lower supports horizontally situated on a lower surface thereof adjacent to sides thereof; four housings each having a horizontally oriented upper extent, a vertically oriented intermediate extent integrally coupled perpendicularly to an edge of the first horizontally extent, and a horizontally oriented open lower extent; four jacks coupled to the upper extent of an associated housing, each having an extended position upon the receipt of a raise signal for raising an associated wheel above the ground and a retracted position upon the receipt of a lower signal for lowering an associated wheel to the ground thus allowing normal operation thereof; and a control mechanism for allowing a user to selectively transmit to the jacks the raise signal and the lower signal.
