Patent CA-2527592-A1 (CA)
Inventor: VILLEGAS GALEANO DORA MARINA
IPC: E04H6/02
Filed: 2005-12-08
Abstract: The following is a description of a structure called "Portable Snow Shell for Vehicles."   The snow shell refers to a light, semi-rigid and portable structure that can be used during the winter period to protect stationary vehicles from snow. It also protects the car from other climate factors such as sun, rain and other elements. The structure covers the length of the car (front, top, rear) and a small area around it, and helps keep the snow off the vehicle and allows the car to be moved quickly. Installation and dismantling of the structure is easy due to the simplicity and lightness of the shell. The shell can thus be set up at any time such as during the night when the car is parked in the street, driveway or open garage. Moreover, the shell can be easily transported and fits into the car's trunk to be used anywhere. The shell is installed onto the car to cover it without actually resting on the vehicle's surface. The structure is assembled with the help of different plastic stems located on the lateral and cross-sectional sides of the mould. These stems, used as braces, fortify the structure by giving it its rigidity and stability. The shell is supported over the car by means of solid clips, which are attached to the car's tires or fixed to hubcaps designed for this end. The shell's size and shape may vary according to the make, model and type of the vehicle. At the moment, there is nothing on the market offering vehicle snow protection such as the portable shell. Such a structure provides a good solution for motorists in countries where snow is the major cause for vehicle problems, saving time and effort. Nevertheless, a type of protective structure that can be found on the market is the "car shelter." This large tent-like structure is installed in the vehicle owner's driveway for the duration of winter and dismantled when the weather becomes milder. Also found on the market is the "car tarp." This item, made of a single sheet, is often used to cover new cars or any car not in use and protects it from light and dust.     Finally and more obviously, we can find camping tents made of nylon on the current market. These tents are evidently used to shelter people from the elements when sleeping outdoors.

Inventor: ROGNE ALLAN W
IPC: D21F5/16
Filed: 1998-01-05
Abstract: A combination infrared/convection dryer or oven (10) for drying traveling webs (W). A shutter assembly (8) is provided between the infrared radiation source (16) and the moving web in order to selectively expose the web to infrared radiation. Drying efficiency is optimized by adding heated impinged air at high velocity on the machine direction ends and between the infrared elements. The air being discharged on the web is heated as it is pulled into the inlet of a close coupled supply fan (28) which then discharges the air to the nozzles. A portion of the air is also exhausted at atmosphere to maintain the oven enclosure in a negative pressure state, thus drawing fresh make-up air into the oven housing through the web inlet (12) and outlet (13) slots. Flotation nozzles (151, 152) can be used where contactless support of the running web is desired. Enhanced drying of the web and/or a coating on the web at high speed is achieved without a concomitant increase in dryer length.

Abstract: A cleaning assembly including a disposable cleaning implement having a cleaning element mounted to a fitment having an elongated post. The cleaning assembly includes an elongated maneuvering wand having a handle portion and a distal implement attachment end thereof. A ripping mechanism is coupled to the wand attachment end, and is configured to releasably grip the fitment post to mount the cleaning implement. The gripping mechanism and the maneuvering wand cooperate to substantially limited pivotal movement of a longitudinal axis of the fitment post, relative a longitudinal axis of the gripping mechanism to not more than about 0 degrees to about 25 degrees when the fitment post is subjected to forces radial to the longitudinal axis of the fitment post. In another aspect, the frictional drag between the sliding components is significantly reduced, enabling a tool assembly with a high axial holding force for the cleaning implement, but with a significantly lower, consumer friendly release force for the implement during release operation of the tool assembly.
