  • Patent number: 6213327
    Abstract: A container for a rail vehicle for the installation of electric and electronic equipment is proposed. The container (1) is formed from an extruded section (2, 3) bent in the edge regions (10) and provided with lid (22) and rear panel (21). The extruded section used for forming the wall has a special structure adopted exactly to the requirements of the container (1) and having at least one coolant duct (13) of closed cross section. A cooling circuit within the equipment is formed by means of the cooling ducts, in which case the coolant may be pressurized. The thermal energy produced and radiated in components installed individually in the interior space of the container (1) is absorbed by the cooling circuit within the equipment and is dissipated via the surface of the container to the outside atmosphere.

  • Patent number: 6209740
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a portable tray for placement atop a conventional oil drain barrel assembly in which the tray comprises three separate but interchangeable sector elements that are each preferably formed by a plastic extrusion process, disconnectably connected to each other using conventional fasteners, such as nut-bolt combinations, about the top edge of such drain barrel assembly. Result: the tray is exceedingly convenient for stowing tools and fasteners associated with conventional oil draining operations but can be retrofitted for use with any conventional oil drain assembly irrespective of the diameter of its drain pan.

  • Patent number: 6182846
    Abstract: A pedestal closure assembly has an upper housing section and a separate lower housing section, each of which include front walls, rear walls, and two side walls. These housing sections are structured and dimensioned for telescoping nesting with first and second positive locking mechanisms for a friction fit. These housing sections when locked together form an integral housing structure which has an interior space for protectively accommodating electrical, power supply or telecommunications equipment. This housing structure may be constructed of non-metallic material. The first positive locking mechanism and second locking mechanism may be positioned across from each other on opposite side walls of the housing sections, and, even more preferably, may be aligned diagonally from each other on opposite side walls of the housing sections. The lower housing section may include raised ribs to enhance the friction fit of the assembled housing sections.

  • Patent number: 6168156
    Abstract: A domino box kit (20) (shown in FIG. 1, FIG. 2 and FIG. 3) comprises a sectionalized base (29) which has a recessed area for storing a plurality of domino game tiles (26), a score book (37), and a writing instrument (38), and a sectionalized cover (30). The base (29) (shown in FIG. 4) has two sections. A base section (23) has a male slidable track member (40) and a base section (24) has a female slidable track member (41) for connecting the base sections by a male and female slidable track system. The cover (30) (shown in FIG. 5) has two sections. A cover section (21) has a male slidable track member (42) and a cover section (22) has a female slidable track member (43) for connecting the cover sections by a male and female slidable track system. The base sections (23) and (24) and the cover sections (21) and (22) (shown in FIG. 6) are used as domino stands for supporting the domino game tiles (26) while the game is being played.
