  • Patent number: 4048511
    Abstract: An automatic output control method and dynamo equipment for generating sets using automobile wheel friction drive, which, in relation to generating sets using automobile wheel friction drive and consisting of a base plate with a jack attached and a dynamo which is removable from the said base plate and tiltable so that its shaft bears upon an automobile wheel driven by the automobile engine to achieve electricity generation over long periods of time with good efficiency and stability by utilizing the said automobile engine power, features the use of a tapered drum having a parallel section for the dynamo drum driven by friction with an automobile wheel, arranged so that the said tapered drum, sliding freely in the axial direction along a screw groove notched along the shaft, and so that a coil spring fits around the said shaft in such a manner that the tapered drum may be pressed always in the direction of the smaller diameter section by the elastic tension, that the revolution of the tapered drum may be tran

  • Patent number: 4004383
    Abstract: A method and device for anchoring a strut such as a stockade, ground mark or guardrail to the ground, in which a top plate is formed with a bore for accomodating the strut, and radial plates are secured to the bottom of the top plate. The radial plates radially extend outward from the center of the bore of the top plate and have a cut-out portion to support the strut. The bore of the top plate is sized to be larger in diameter than the strut so that the strut can be orientated within a given range. A plurality of clamping means are provided on the top plate and adapted to radially urge the strut thereby to determine the orientation of the strut relative to the center of the bore of the top plate. A strut anchoring device thus constructed is placed on the ground which is slightly digged and driven into the ground by driving a driving pope or tool abutting against a bearing surface provided in the radial plates until the top plate reaches the ground surface.

  • Patent number: 3943370
    Abstract: A friction-drive electricity generating method and equipment utilizing the driving wheel of motor cars, where, in order to make it possible to generate electricity efficiently for a long period by using the engine power of motor cars, a base plate with a jack attached is fixed to one of driving wheels of the motor car in such a manner that it may be held between them and then a dymamo is installed, removably and tilting freely, on the said base plate so that the driving wheel may be lifted up with the said jack and so that electricity may be generated by pressing the dynamo shaft against the driving wheel while it is being revolved by the motor car engine.
