Publication number: 20060080770Abstract: A pocket-equipped shower curtain includes a generally planar flexible panel having at least two generally transparent sections, an exterior surface and an interior surface and at least two pockets each including an outer wall, the outer wall mounted on the exterior surface of the generally planar flexible panel over the generally transparent sections of the flexible panel. Each of the pockets includes an opening operative to permit the insertion of an object into each pocket, the object thus being viewable from either side of the generally planar flexible panel. Finally, at least two closure devices are mounted adjacent each of openings of the pockets, the closure devices operative to alternatively open and close each opening to generally prevent incursion of fluids into the pockets when the closure devices are closed thereby generally preventing damage to objects placed within the pockets.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 13, 2005Publication date: April 20, 2006Inventor: Vernon Rich

Publication number: 20060043233Abstract: A tissue dispensing device for vehicles includes a body having a circumferential outer wall, a base wall, a top opening, an upper portion, a lower portion and a transition portion extending between and connecting the upper and lower portions, the body being generally hollow and a lid having a tissue release opening formed therein, the lid adapted to fit on and cover the top opening. The upper portion has a minimum circumference at least ten percent (10%) greater than the maximum circumference of the lower portion and the lower portion has a generally truncated cone shape such that as the lower portion is slid into a cup-holder, the sides of the cup-holder frictionally engage the lower portion to releasably secure the device within the cup-holder. Finally, a plurality of tissues is housed within the body in an interconnected manner for dispensing through the tissue dispensing opening of the lid.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 25, 2005Publication date: March 2, 2006Inventors: Franklin Borchardt, Vernon Rich

Patent number: 6415758Abstract: An engine block 10 is disclosed having machined front and rear faces. Each of the front and rear faces is capable of receiving and sealing against a housing (20,40) enclosing a gear train for coupling the engine crankshaft to a camshaft of the engine. The front face is additionally capable of directly receiving and sealing against an engine front cover while the rear face is additionally capable of directly receiving and sealing against a flywheel housing. In this way, the same engine block may be selectively assembled into an engine having a front mounted or a rear mounted camshaft gear train.Type: GrantFiled: August 21, 2000Date of Patent: July 9, 2002Assignees: Cummins Engine Company Ltd., Iveco (UK) Ltd., New Holland U.K. Ltd.Inventors: Enzo Pierro, John J.

Patent number: 6216658Abstract: An integral cylinder block is provided having features which enhance structural stiffness, thereby reducing noise emissions. The block includes an upper portion with cylinder bores and a lower portion forming at least a part of a crankcase. At the upper and lower portions of the block, the casing has sculpted wall portions with a curved, undulate shape. At a side of the cylinder block, a closed oil cooler cavity is formed. A wall is provided to generally separate the oil cooler cavity from the water jacket defined within the block. An opening is provided in the wall, but the opening is distally located relative to a water pump outlet that provides a flow of coolant into the cavity, thereby improving the flow direction of coolant across the oil cooler. Also, an opposite side of the cylinder block includes a closed tappet cavity to accommodate pushrods.Type: GrantFiled: June 18, 1999Date of Patent: April 17, 2001Assignees: Cummins Engine Company Ltd., Iveco (UK) Ltd., New Holland U.K. Ltd.Inventors: Enzo Pierro, Nikos Jon Chimonides, Hermann-Josef Huestegge, Phil Scarth, Craig James Korte, Andrew Clamp, Jean-Patrick Vernon Rich, Hans-Jurg Nydegger
