Abstract:
The adjustable foot peg allows a rider to adjust the position of the foot peg in two ways. First, the bracket to which the foot peg attaches preferably includes a series of holes, about which the foot peg apparatus will rotate. Second, the foot peg is placed at the end of a rotating member, the rotating member able to be fixed at one of multiple possible angular positions.
Abstract:
1. AN IGNITION TIMING CONTROL SYSTEM COMPRISING, IN COMBINATION AN AUTOMOTIVE VEHICLE INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE HAVING AN INTAKE SYSTEM INCLUDING A CARBURETOR FOR MIXING FUEL WITH INTAKE AIR TO PRODUCE A COMBUSTIBLE MIXTURE, AND IGNITION PLUGS TO IGNITE SAID COMBUSTIBLE MIXTURE, AN IGNITION DISTRIBUTOR FOR SUPPLYING HIGH VOLTAGE CURRENT TO SAID IGNITION PLUGS OF SAID ENGINE IN ACCORDANCE WITH A PREDETERMINED SEQUENCE, A VACUUM ADVANCE DEVICE RESPONSIVE TO ENGINE INTAKE VACUUM PRODUCED IN SAID INTAKE SYSTEM DOWNSTREAM OF SAID CARBURETOR FOR ADVANCING THE IGNITION TIMING OF SAID IGNITION DISTRIBUTOR, AND VALVE MEANS CONNECTED IN COMMIUNICATION WITH SAID ENGINE INTAKE SYSTEM BOTH UPSTREAM AND DOWNSTREAM OF SAID CARBURETOR AND WITH SAID VACUUM ADVANCE DEVICE, SAID VALVE MEANS BEING ARRANGED TO CONTROL A VACUUM TO BE INTRODUCED INTO SAID VACUUM ADVANCE DEVICE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE OPERATING MODES OF SAID ENGINE IN TERMS OF AN ABSOLUTE LEVEL IS INTRODUCED INTO SAID THE VACUUM AT THE ABSOLUTE LEVEL IS INTRODUCED INTO SAID VACUUM ADVANCE DEVICE DURING ACCELERATION OF SAID VEHICLE TO EFFECT A VACUUM ADVANCE IN SAID IGNITION DISTRIBUTOR AND SUCH THAT THE VACUUM AT SUCH AN ABSOLUTE LEVEL IS AT LEAST PARTIALLY REDUCED AND INTRODUCED INTO SAID VACUUM ADVANCE DEVICE DURING CRUISING OPERATION OF SAID VEHICLE AND DURING DECELERATION THEREOF TO EFFECT A DESIRED REDUCTION IN THE VACUUM ADVANCE.
Abstract:
A carpet trim cutter having a blade holder which is adjustably mountable to the body of the carpet trim cutter such that a cutting blade carried by the blade holder may be selectively positioned to control the depth of cut by the cutting blade. Means are provided for selectively positioning the blade holder on the body of the carpet trim cutter including means for releasably attaching both the blade cutter and the blade to the carpet trim cutter. The carpet trim cutter is of an integral construction fabricated from a plastic material.
Abstract:
A tackless carpet stripping for attaching carpet or the like to a floor in a room wherein the stripping is fastened to the floor along the peripherial edge of the floor adjacent the walls of the room. The tackless carpet stripping is a one-piece integrally molded structure having an elongated member with its lower surface positioned on the floor and fastened thereto by means of nails or the like. The upper surface of the elongated member has a plurality of integral sharp-ending holding members projecting toward the wall at an angle inclined with respect to the upper surface of the elongated member. In the preferred embodiment the stripping is fabricated from a plastic material, such as polystyrene.
Abstract:
A system for recovering electrical energy and water from exhaust gasses. The system includes a thermoelectric generator to produce electricity from the waste heat of the exhaust gasses of internal combustion engines and the like. The exhaust is cooled by the thermoelectric generator, air cycle machine and other heat absorbing devise which, through work, reduce the exhaust gas temperature and promote condensation of the water.
Abstract:
An earpiece set capable of emitting light and flashing according to changing of acoustic frequency including a pair of sound broadcasting units having earplugs and ear muffs, a pair of audio connectors and a pair of audio cables to transmit acoustic signals, wherein the audio cables electrically connect with a pair of control units for receiving acoustic signals, the control units are respectively electrically connected with a pair of LED light strips respectively extending along the audio cables to the sound broadcasting units, for driving the LED light strips for light emitting and flashing according to changing of acoustic frequency of the acoustic signals, thus effects of being easily discerned and providing safe warning and amusement can be achieved for a user.
Abstract:
Disclosed is an electronic cigarette lighting device with a safety mechanism, and the device includes a casing with a combustion-supporting hole formed on the casing, a heat generating unit installed in the casing and alternately positioned with the combustion-supporting hole, and a slide cover installed at the top of the casing and normally covered onto the combustion-supporting hole. After the slide cover is pushed to expose the combustion-supporting hole, the heat generating unit starts generating heat to produce high temperature. A safety mechanism is installed between the casing and the slide cover and capable of blocking the slide cover, such that a user has to release the blocked status of the safety mechanism first before the user can push the slide cover and uses the electronic cigarette lighting device, so that the device can prevent an improper operation of the cigarette lighting device and improve safety.
