Filed:

Sep 22, 2003

Appl. No.:

10/664332

Inventors:

Kevin J. Anibas - Eau Claire WI 54703

International Classification:

F01L 134

US Classification:

123 9016, 123 9029

Abstract:

Disclosed is a valve system that provides a means of controlling the charging and exhausting of the combustion chamber(s) of internal combustion engines. In this system, asymmetrical valve bodies are first lifted a nominal distance from their sealing surfaces, then are rotated by their non-centered stems, which operate in conventional valve guides. Rapid port opening, relatively long duration at the full open position, and rapid port closing are achieved. This dual-action valve motion is provided by a drum type camshaft featuring radial protrusions to lift the valves from their sealing surfaces and circumferential cam grooves, which rotate the valves in palindromic fashion. A multi-level valve layout allows for relatively larger port sizes, as it lets the valves move without interference with one another. A mechanism for actuating the valves by electromechanical means is also disclosed.

Inventors:

Kevin J. Anibas - Eau Claire WI, US

International Classification:

B62K025/04

US Classification:

180227, 280284

Abstract:

A device for providing adjustable, deployable, controlled flex and lateral suspension movement to a motorcycle chassis. This is accomplished by a swingarm pivot mechanism, that when operated, variably allows the swingarm member to move laterally, controlled by flexure members, and constrained within selected limits. The mechanism is controlled by a logic unit acting on inputs such as lean angle, road speed, transmission gear position, engine speed, throttle position, brake application, suspension position, and a rider override switch. In another embodiment, the mechanism is used without an actuator, and is manually adjusted for flex and performance per conditions and rider preference.

Appl. No.:

Inventors:

Kevin J. Anibas - Eau Claire WI, US

International Classification:

B23P019/04

US Classification:

29239

Abstract:

Disclosed is a device for removing woodwork and trim from the interior or exterior of buildings. Its function is such that damage to the woodwork, and to the wall from which it is removed, is minimized or eliminated. In operation, the device is first driven between the wall and the woodwork to be removed. A specially shaped bar is then inserted between the base of the device and a spring loaded lifter plate. When this bar is pivoted, the lifter plate is moved away from the base, wedging the woodwork loose. Since a relatively large surface area acts on the wall and the woodwork, gouging or other damage is unlikely. Removed trim pieces may be reinstalled or salvaged for use on other projects.

International Classification:

F26B005/08

US Classification:

34602, 34603, 34604

Abstract:

The invention is a clothes dryer featuring an interior working volume that is adjustable to suit the size of the load and type of article(s) to be dried. Since the volume is adjusted to fit the load, only the necessary volume is heated. For large loads or bulky articles, the volume is set to full, while for small loads and small articles the volume may be decreased for faster drying and energy savings. The dryer working volume is adjusted by a simple manually operated linkage, or, in other embodiments, by motorized mechanisms.

Abstract:

An energy saving reflector assembly for cook-top heating units. The reflector assembly features a device which concentrates heat on the bottom of a cooking vessel being heated and prevents heat from escaping laterally from under the vessel being heated. The device provides significant decreases in both cooking time and energy consumption. Embodiments for electric and gas cook-tops are described.

US Classification:

187/211000, 187/255000, 187/263000, 187/269000

Abstract:

This mechanism is designed to provide motion and force while maintaining parallelism between a base structure and a movable structure. This is accomplished by opposed pairs of pivoting arms which are synchronized by a timing device which links an arm with the arm opposite to it and ensures that these arms move the same distance but in opposite directions. This mechanism will work in any spatial orientation. Applications of this mechanism include lift tables, adjustable work stations, vertically adjustable conveyors, and others.

International Classification:

E05B027/04

US Classification:

070/493000

Abstract:

A lock apparatus includes a housing having a cylindrical bore formed therein and a cam rotatably mounted in the housing. A cylindrical sleeve having a notch formed therein rotatably mounts in the bore of the housing. A cylinder core inserts into the sleeve and engages the cam. The core including multiple tumblers and the housing has a corresponding number of drivers biased toward the bore and engaging the tumblers through the notch and aligned along the periphery of the bore when a proper key is inserted. When the sleeve is rotated, the drivers are captured in their bores, allowing the core to be easily removed without a tube or special tools and providing for simple rekeying.
