Publication number: 20220081057Abstract: The modular bike is a chainless biking device that may be quickly converted from a road bike to an all-off-the-road bike or a racing bike. To accomplish this, the device includes a frame, a drive box, and a plurality of wheels that are detachably attached to one another in an efficient and stable fashion. The device utilizes a hydraulic drive mechanism, which is more efficient than a chain drive mechanism. Further, a quick release mechanism associated with the wheel hubs of the modular bike enable users to quickly change the wheels from the frame for tire and/or spoke repairs. Additionally, the offset arrangement of the drive box and the frame along with the quick release mechanism of the wheels enable users to transform the bike to various configurations to match to the purpose/terrain of the ride etc.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 11, 2021Publication date: March 17, 2022Inventor: Wilfried Dreyfuss

Patent number: 5244015Abstract: A pipe-end protector depending on its being used as a cap or plug comprises a metal housing with a sleeve-like, elastomer inset or a metal plug with a sleeve-like, elastomer cover. To increase the strength of the protector, the metal housing or the metal plug--which always are tubular--are provided at their outer end with a flanged or folded, preferably rolled edge. To facilitate manufacture of the protector, the inset or the cover may consist of at least two part-cylindrical mating case-components.Type: GrantFiled: April 8, 1992Date of Patent: September 14, 1993Assignee: Drilltec Patents & Technologies Co.Inventors: Wilfried Dreyfuss, Thomas E. Remp, Kurt Muller

Patent number: 5195562Abstract: A protector for the threads of a pipe-end, comprises a tubular member including a longitudinal portion and a curved end portion bent substantially 270.degree., the curved end portion including an edge disposed a distance away from the longitudinal portion; and an elastomeric sleeve disposed co-axially and substantially co-extensively relative to the tubular member. The sleeve is adapted to engage the threads of the pipe-end. The sleeve includes an end portion disposed between the edge and the longitudinal portion, the edge clamping the sleeve end portion against the longitudinal portion, thereby securing the sleeve to the tubular member. The sleeve includes a radially extending annular flange disposed outside the curved end portion for engaging an end portion of the pipe-end.Type: GrantFiled: May 31, 1990Date of Patent: March 23, 1993Assignee: Drilltec Patents & Technologies Co.Inventors: Wilfried Dreyfuss, Thomas E.

Patent number: 4772198Abstract: In injection-molding threaded molded articles in the form of plastic caps and stoppers with or without imbedded reinforcing cages, an injection unit, a closing unit and an injection mold are provided, where the movable mold half is equipped with a threading part. The threading part is irrotational and integral. A rotating tool is provided, which for the condition of open injection mold can be moved between the mold halves and is operationally linked to the molded article so it can be jointly moved with it to unscrew the molded article from the threading part. Radial and axial centering pins are provided in the injection mold to center the cage.Type: GrantFiled: September 22, 1986Date of Patent: September 20, 1988Assignees: Wilfried Dreyfuss, Thomas E. RempInventors: Wilfried Dreyfuss, Thomas E. Remp, Kurt Muller

Patent number: 4706822Abstract: This invention relates to a frame for the transport and storage of pipes consisting of profile frame parts, of which the upper and lower profile frame parts are connectable with one another by bolting rod means. Recesses are provided on both ends of the profile frame parts for receiving the bolting rod means. The bolting rod is rotatably arranged with an end having a transverse crosspiece that is detachably positioned into lateral transverse bores of the lower profile frame part. The crosspiece has at least one bevel end for facilitating insertion of the crosspiece into the transverse bores of the lower profile frame parts.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 1985Date of Patent: November 17, 1987Assignees: Wilfried Dreyfuss, Thomas RempInventors: Thomas E. Remp, Jr., Wilfried Dreyfuss, Kurt Muller

Patent number: 4662402Abstract: System for protecting machine parts, such as threads, from physical and chemical damage. The parts to be protected are cleaned, coated with a separating agent, and a mold is placed around them. A protective material is inserted in the interspace between the mold and pipe end. The protective material forms a tough, protective jacket. If desired, the mold can later be removed by means of a tear-open element or integrated weak spots. For the protection of pipe interiors, plastic material can be pressed into the end of the pipe such that it seals against the inside lining of the pipe.Type: GrantFiled: August 7, 1986Date of Patent: May 5, 1987Inventors: Wilfried Dreyfuss, Thomas E. Remp, Jr., Kurt Muller

Patent number: 4610362Abstract: The invention relates to a frame for the transport and storage of pipes of profile frame parts, of which the upper and lower profile frame parts are connectable with one another by rods which can be conducted through recesses of the profile frame parts and are swingably arranged with an end provided with a transverse piece in lateral transverse bores of a profile frame part. In order to improve the support of the pipes on the frame parts and to simplify and cheapen the manufacture, the frame parts are C-profiles with retracted base part, two C-profiles arranged in one another in opposite directions, the shanks of the outer C-profile extending beyond the base of the inner C-profile, or box profiles with side wall extensions. In particular, as middle frame parts there are used double C-profiles. In the free shanks or extensions of the profiles there are formed, as supports for the tube, divided-circular recesses, which, if need be, have a flange with inner reinforcing walls which faces inward or outward.Type: GrantFiled: July 20, 1982Date of Patent: September 9, 1986Assignees: Wilfried Dreyfuss, Thomas E.

Patent number: 4599778Abstract: The invention relates to an inserting and centering device for associated screw-in pipes. Two semi-cylindrical jaws are connected in articulating manner on the cylindrical inside surfaces of which are provided an annular projection having an annular, downward shoulder to rest on the socket edge of the pipes.The jaws further comprise, at their upper end, a conical flare joining the said projection. Each jaw is equipped with one handle. the device further includes a closure mechanism to keep together the jaws when they are in the closed position wherein the jaws enclose with play the pipe socket. One handle of at least one jaw at the same time is designed to be a part of the closure mechanism.Type: GrantFiled: April 30, 1984Date of Patent: July 15, 1986Assignees: Wilfried Dreyfuss, Thomas E.

Patent number: 4438783Abstract: A device that protects the inner surface of pipes from rust is disclosed. This device is especially useful for pipes provided with threading and a thread guard at their threaded ends to form an airtight seal. The device comprises a holder that can be inserted in the pipes on which a number of receptacles are attached at intervals. The receptacles are filled with a drying agent or dessicant and are made of a moisture permeable material. A moisture indicator may be placed in the base of the thread guard.Type: GrantFiled: April 9, 1982Date of Patent: March 27, 1984Assignees: Wilfried Dreyfuss, Thomas E.
