US Patent:

51407183, Aug 25, 1992

Filed:

Dec 7, 1990

Appl. No.:

7/623692

Inventors:

John B. Toth - Lakewood CO

International Classification:

A47L 2500

US Classification:

152101

Abstract:

The spar track cleaning and maintenance device comprises: a compressible, working surface for cleaning, lubricating and maintenance of a longitudinally extending, irregularly-shaped, spherical opening defined by a spar track; at least a first compressible, resiliently flexible, cordage member for inserting into the spar track opening and for slidably engaging an internal surface of the track opening; and a control means for adjustably shaping the working surface and the first cordage member upon being inserted within the spar track opening. The control means adjustably shapes the working surface and the first cordage member which is integrally formed with the working surface to allow the working surface and the first cordage member to compress and substantially conform to the irregular spherical shape of the internal track surface and be in slidable engagement therewith. The compressed working surface and the first cordage member upon being slidably moved within the track opening reduces friction at the internal track surface and enhances the sliding of the mating slides and boltropes when under loadings from the sail.

Appl. No.:

7/869960

Inventors:

John B. Toth - Lakewood CO

International Classification:

A47L 2500

US Classification:

152101

Abstract:

A device maintains an elongated, generally, T-shaped, spar track for a free running of mating slides and boltropes under loadings of a sail through cleaning and maintenance. A first internal surface region of the T-shaped track opening is comparatively wider than a second internal surface region of the track opening. The second internal surface region merges with a third external region of the track opening. The improvement comprises a compressible, flexible, pliable member for cleaning, lubricating and maintenance of the T-shaped track opening. The pliable member is prefolded and united to provide a T-shape corresponding to the shape of the track opening. The pliable member is provided with a T-shape to facilitate insertion of the pliable member into the track opening and to enable the pliable member to be in slidable engagement with the track opening. A control member adjustably shapes the pliable member when inserted within the track opening to cause the pliable member to compress and to substantially correspond to the T-shape of the track opening. The inserted pliable member is in slidable engagement with the track opening when subjected to compression through the control member, and when being slidably moved to allow the effects of corrosion to be reduced, and thereby, enhance a free running of the slides and boltropes under the loadings.

Appl. No.:

7/991312

Inventors:

John B. Toth - Arvada CO

International Classification:

B65D 8538

US Classification:

2063162

Abstract:

A water and dirt protective, camcorder, shooting case comprises an enclosure. The enclosure comprises an outer structure that substantially encapsulates the camcorder and minimizes damage from adverse environmental elements and from harmful shock and impact from external objects, while allowing camcorder shooting with the enclosed camcorder. The enclosure includes interconnected folding end frames, tension members for allowing the enclosure to be adjustable from a collapsed, flexible, folded arrangement to an erect, tensioned and semi-rigid arrangement, which semi-rigid arrangement serves to minimize said damage. The enclosure also comprises a water and snow resistant, a dirt and dust protective, and a shock and impact protective material to effect minimizing said damage. Lastly, the enclosure has a mounting means interconnected with the end frames, tensioning members and outer structure so as to allow the enclosure to be suitable for use with a number of camcorder models having different formats, physical sizes and camcorder control positions.

Appl. No.:

7/828719

Inventors:

John B. Toth - Lakewood CO

International Classification:

B65D 8320

US Classification:

22240213

Abstract:

Disclosed is an aerosol extension for use with a pressurized container in domestic, industrial and general spray applications. The pressurized container includes a cylindrically-shaped body, a planar bottom and a convex top. The body includes a propellant and a product to be dispensed therefrom. The top has a circular opening for receiving an actuator and a dispensing valve. The actuator and dispensing valves defines a dispensing system for delivering the product as a spray, a mist, a stream or a powder. The actuator, in turn, defines an outlet orifice for delivering the product held within the pressurized container. The improvement comprises a clamping member, which is joined and releasably locked to the dispensing system. A flexible, elongated, tubular member is provided for accurately delivering products contained in the pressurized container from the dispensing system to intended locations otherwise difficult to reach with the products. The tubular member is adjustably coupled between the clamping member and the dispensing system to effect efficient delivery of the products.
