Abstract: Disclosed is a variable length shackle assembly that includes a first frame member that includes a vehicle frame mount and a rail support and a second frame member that includes a leaf spring mount and a guide rail that cooperates with the rail support to permit the first frame member to move linearly relative to the second frame member while resisting non-linear movement and a biasing member such as a spring that connects that first frame member to the second frame member.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to rear drive axle suspension systems for OEM cargo truck and ambulance type vehicles and more particularly to a method and a means to provide said vehicles with a Two-Position suspension system, wherein Position-1 is for vehicle transport and Position-2 is for vehicle loading and unloading.

Abstract: Some embodiments of the present invention relates to rear drive axle suspension systems for OEM cargo truck and ambulance type vehicles and more particularly to a method and a means to provide said vehicles with a 2-Position suspension system, wherein Position-1 is for vehicle transport and Position-2 is for vehicle loading and unloading. And, wherein improved vehicle ride, stability, and handling is achieved in Position-1, and improved lowered vehicle load floor is achieved in Position-2.

Abstract: Rails are mounted to the tops of the sides, ends and tailgate of a pickup truck box. Each rail has an outwardly extending base resting on the top of the truck box. The rails are fastened to the box by screws extending through holes in the rails and outwardly into the inside wall of the truck box at the sides and ends. An upstanding, longitudinally-extending flange in an internal cavity in each of the side rails receives the hooked outer end of longitudinally movable anchors having clamping screws with knurled knobs thereon to clamp the anchors to the rails in any of an infinite number of possible positions longitudinally of the rails. Apertures in the anchors receive cargo strap or chain hooks or partition connectors or other accessories. An upwardly opening longitudinally extending groove in each of the side and end rails receives and secures a reinforced hem of a tonneau cover.

Abstract: A wall-mounted housing encloses a blower, an antiseptic solution holder, an atomizer pump, and a timer-switch assembly. A front-mounted actuator bar initiates a timer which starts the blower and pump. The atomizer delivers antiseptic solution into the blower discharge for delivery of a vapor mist through the nozzle to the hands of the user for a pre-determined period of time established by the timer. Then the atomizer is shut down by the timer and the blower continues to operate for another predetermined period to dry the hands.

Abstract: A towel dispenser contains two rolls of paper. A bar on the front, when pushed, delivers a short length of wet towel and a short length of dry towel, simultaneously. It also guides the towel dispensed from one of the rolls through a bath of antiseptic hand-cleansing solution. It also releases the system to enable pulling an additional length of toweling from each of the two rolls. Upon release, either towel can be pulled out further manually to produce about ten more inches of towel. The toweling is delivered from both rolls simultaneously, but the towels are used in sequence, the wet towel first and the dry towel next.

Abstract: Slotted rails are mounted to the tops of the sides, ends and tailgate of a pickup truck box. Each rail has an outwardly extending flange resting on the top of the truck box. The rails are fastened to the box by screws extending through holes in the rails and outwardly into the inside wall of the truck box at the sides and ends. There are longitudinally spaced slots in the rail above the flange. An outwardly opening longitudinally extending groove in the flange receives and secures a reinforced hem of a tonneau cover. One embodiment of the rail has a longitudinally extending downwardly opening groove in the bottom of the rail receiving the upper edge portion of a truck bed liner.
