20100008734 | Extended Length Strand Take Up Device - An extended length strand take up device is presented that may be used to repair damaged guy wires in the field. The invention comprises two connecting bodies connected by a single tension rod that extends continuously between the two connecting bodies. Each connecting body slides over opposite ends of the tension rod and is held in place by a stop member, such as threaded nuts screwed onto the respective ends of the tension rod. The connecting bodies may further include an inwardly-facing pull tab or tabs that can be used for pre-tensioning the guy wire. An alternative embodiment of the invention comprises a single tension rod that is fixedly anchored to the ground and several connecting bodies that are fixedly mounted along the end of the guy wire at standard increments. The tension rod runs parallel to and overlaps the end of the guy wire. The connecting bodies slide along the length of the tension rod until the required tension and length is reached. A stop member, such as a threaded nut, is screwed onto the end of the tension rod holding the connecting bodies in place. | 01-14-2010 |

20090302671 | Automobile Axle - A vehicle axle includes an axle housing defining a cavity. The axle includes a pair of outer drive shafts, each being coaxially received in a respective housing cavity and slidable therein, each outer drive shaft defining a splined cavity. The axle includes a pair of inner drive shafts, each having a splined end coaxially coupled to a respective outer drive shaft splined cavity such that a respective outer drive shaft is slidably movable therein. A piston is attached to the inner end of each outer drive shaft and separates an inner fluid chamber from an outer fluid chamber. A fluid channel includes opposed ends in communication with respective fluid chambers. A force absorption container is in fluid communication with each fluid channel and includes a compression spring, wherein the spring is compressed when movement of the piston pushes fluid through the channel into the force absorption container. | 12-10-2009 |
20090302672 | Automobile Axle - A vehicle axle includes a main axle having an end defining a splined cavity. The vehicle axle further includes a splined shaft coaxial with the main axle, the splined shaft having a configuration that is complementary to a configuration of the splined cavity. The shaft and the main axle are coupled together by the shaft splines and the cavity splines, the shaft being movable relative to the main axle along the axis. The vehicle axle includes a force-absorbing member located inside the splined cavity and being in communication with the main axle and the splined shaft so as to absorb force when the splined shaft moves toward the main axle past an equilibrium point. | 12-10-2009 |
20150013635 | Engine Combustion System - An engine combustion system includes a power cylinder and a gear assembly, the piston having respective intake and exhaust valves. The power cylinder includes a connecting rod pivotally attached to a bottom of the piston and extends vertically downwardly in vertical alignment with a gear assembly. A movable rack gear is coupled to the connecting rod and in communication with a rotatably mounted central gear. When an air/fuel mixture is ignited within the power cylinder fuel chamber, the connecting rod is urged downward causing linear movement of the rack gear in operative communication with the rotatably mounted central gear such that the power generated thereby is translated to a vehicle transmission or power train without angular inefficiency of a traditional crankshaft system. | 01-15-2015 |
