  • Patent number: 5192346
    Abstract: This invention is an air purifier pleated flat filter to be installed in passenger motor vehicles to stop pollution for passengers inside of the motor vehicle. This filter will cleanse the air which is pulled by the blower from outside the motor vehicle and/or the existing air polluted by passengers inside the motor vehicle. It also absorbs the odors and emissions from the air conditioner. This filter prevents pollutants, which are emitted from the exhaust fumes of the motor vehicles, as well as hydrocarbons, odors, smoke, soot, dust and allergens-pollen from polluting the air which enters the motor vehicle interior. The pleated filter is preferably installed in the plenum of the vent which is connected to the cowl plenum chamber or in the plenum of cowl plenum chamber of the vehicles's heating-cooling system. The filter is also preferably equipped with a sensor switch that notifies the driver whenever the filter becomes dirty and must be replaced.

  • Patent number: 5004487
    Abstract: This invention is a filter assembly to be installed in passenger motor vehicles for the protection of the occupants from pollution originating from either exterior the vehicle and/or interior the vehicle. The assembly is preferably installed in the plenum of the vent which is connected to the cowl plenum chamber of the vehicle's heating-cooling system. The assembly is also preferably equipped with a sensor switch that notifies the drive whenever the filter becomes dirty and must be replaced. The assembly includes a hot fluid heater, such as a hot water heater, which protects the filter from freezing and keeps the filter dry. The assembly prevents pollutants, which are emitted from the exhaust fumes of motor vehicles, as well as odors, hydrocarbons, smoke, soot, dust and allergens-pollen from polluting the motor vehicle interior. By installing the filter assembly in motor vehicles, we can be assured of breathing purer air.

  • Patent number: 4641136
    Abstract: This invention allows for the use of safety apparatus at the front and rear of the automobile, which serve as an addditional pair of "eyes" for the driver. The apparatus comprises a security system for the prevention of automobile collisions. The apparatus at the front of the automobile is connected to the front wheel system or to the steering mechanism by an appropriate rotary device which revolves so that the beams or waves do not encounter vehicles in oncoming lanes going in the opposite direction. The electronic safety apparatus emits beams or waves whose length is automatically regulated to correspond to weather conditions and to the speed of the vehicle so as to ensure safe braking distance.

  • Patent number: 4501706
    Abstract: A carburetor including a housing having a plate with a plurality of vaporizers formed therein is disclosed. The vaporizers communicate air and fuel inlets formed in the housing with a mixing chamber which forms part of a central aperture which extends between the top and bottom surfaces of the housing. Each vaporizer includes a central fuel outlet opening into the mixing chamber transverse the central aperture and a plurality of inclined air outlets spaced about the fuel outlet for directing pressurized air against pressurized fuel in the fuel outlet to vaporize the fuel and also to force the vaporized fuel into the mixing chamber for mixing with air allowed therein from the top surface of the housing by a control mechanism. The vaporized fuel and air mixture thereafter freely flows from the mixing chamber and out of the housing at its bottom surface.
