Inventor: WEISZ ERVIN
IPC: B60L50/15
Filed: 2002-04-26
Granted: 2007-01-18
Abstract: A differential engine with variable torque conversion. The differential engine comprises a motor, a torque conversion stage, and a loading mechanism. The motor operates at a constant speed and provides input rotational torque to the torque conversion stage. The torque conversion stage converts the input rotational torque into a rotational torque at an output shaft which is coupled to a load, for example, an automobile wheel. The torque conversion stage includes first and second differential stages which are coupled together with a pair of shafts, with the shafts rotating in opposite directions. The first differential stage comprises an input shaft which is coupled to the output shaft of the motor, and first and second output shafts which are coupled to the respective shafts. A gear mechanism in the first differential stage translates the rotational torque from the motor to the first and second output shafts. The second differential stage comprises an output coupled to the output drive shaft, and first and second input shafts which are coupled to the respective shafts. The second differential stage includes a gear mechanism which applies a rotational torque to the output drive shaft when a difference occurs between the rotational speeds for the shafts. The rotational speeds of the shafts are varied by loading one or both of the shafts. The loading mechanisms include electrical or mechanical.

Title: Surface cleaner and retrieval unit
Inventor: STAHOVIAK TIMOTHY P
IPC: A47L11/38
Filed: 2002-06-18
Granted: 2007-11-22
Abstract: This invention is directed to a cyclonic power system and method of using the system to clean flat surfaces. The cyclone power system includes a driven spindle that is mounted for rotation about its longitudinal axis. There are a plurality of radially extending straight rod extending from the spindle. Curved blades are connected at one end to the spindle and at their other end to the free end of a straight rod. The centrifugal force, generated as a result of the rotation of the driven spindle is not effective to cause the straight rods, which are constructed of stainless steel, to lengthen and since the curved blades are connected to the straight rods, the centrifugal force is not effective to lengthen the curved blades. In an embodiment of the invention a perforated disc is secured to the bottom surface of the spindle and to the free ends of the straight rods. In this embodiment the water and debris is pulled up through the perforations in the disc. The perforated disc protects the rotary member from heavy projectiles that are lifted from the surface to be cleaned, adds to the stability to the rotary member and has eliminated of the need for the supports extending between the mid-portion of the curved blades and the straight rods. In addition to the above improvements the flow through the perforations in the disc is limited to the upward flow and once water laden with debris has passed through the perforations in the disc it remains above the disc and is swept to the discharge.
