Abstract: An apparatus and method for windlocking a curtain (100) over an opening in a  building is disclosed and claimed. The windlocking curtain (100) resides to the exterior of the window, door or other opening and protects it from the intrusion of air, water or debris. In its upper position the windlocking curtain (100) permits normal use of the opening and in its lower position it  secures the opening. A flexible corrugated curtain (115) has tension rods (123, 124) therethrough and the tension rods (123, 124) run in tracks (111, 112) on each side of the curtain (115) and necessarily on each side of the opening. Interengagement of the tension rods (123, 124) with tracks (111, 11 2) is accomplished by deformations in the rods that are referred to as interrup ts (121). In one embodiment the tension rods (123, 124) are successively longer  from top to bottom of the curtain (115) and their interrupts matingly wedge with angled tracks (111, 112) to secure the curtain (115). In another embodiment the interrupts (705, 707, 710) matingly engage parallel tracks (602, 603) upon the application of force due to wind, fluid (usually water o r sea water) or debris. In another embodiment a flap on the edges of a flexibl e curtain (2200) engage the side tracks (2004) absorbing shocking and sealing the opening. A method for securing the opening utilizing the apparatus is al so claimed which provides top, bottom and side securement.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un système de transport monté sur rail destiné au transport en pente, pouvant être adapté à différente inclinaisons de pente le long de son chemin de déplacement, et permettant de conserver une plate-forme de transport à niveau sans nécessiter de dispositifs ou de systèmes de nivellement mécaniques. La plate-forme (2) peut être inclinée pour être chargée ou déchargée. La plate-forme (2) peut être reliée au rail (1) par des roues, la roue la plus proche de la plate-forme (2) étant située sur le rail et l'autre roue étant située sous le rail (1). Ainsi, la plate-forme (2) est soumise à un couple vers le bas pour conserver le contact entre les roues et le rail (1). Au fur et à mesure que la pente du terrain augmente, et que par conséquent l'inclinaison du rail (1) augmente, le rail (1) s'élargit pour maintenir la plate-forme (2) à niveau. Au fur et à mesure que la pente s'adoucit, le rail (2) rétrécit pour maintenir la plate-forme (2) à niveau.

Title: Ramp kit
Inventor: LUCHT DUANE
IPC: B60P1/43
Filed: 2003-05-15
Abstract: A ramp kit formed of brackets assembles a plurality of board sections into an assembled ramp structure in which the board sections are mounted to one another in an end to end configuration with adjacent board sections being supported at an obtuse angle relative to one another. By forming a ramp of plural board sections mounted in an end to end configuration, a gradual steepness to an assembled ramp is provided to reduce the relative angle between the end of the ramp and a truck box floor so that the ramps may be considerably shorter than straight long boards normally used with trucks without concern of vehicles to be loaded into the box being hung up on the end of the truck box floor. The arrangement of the brackets of the kit provides a small lightweight package for store shelves which is inexpensive to purchase, while providing the consumer with the benefit of a ramp with graduated steepness when suitable boards are provided.

Patent CA-2446440-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BAILEY JAMES CHRISTOPHER
IPC: B67D3/00
Filed: 1999-10-29
Abstract: A vent and fluid transfer fitment (30) for sealing and trans- ferring a fluid from an inverted fluid-filled container (16) without premature leakage to a receiver attachment (22), has a transfer check valve (12) and a venting check valve (13) which are preferably duck- bill valves. The transfer check valve is attached to the fitment for allowing fluid to be transferred from the container when the receiver attachment engages the transfer check valve. The venting check valve is also attached to the fitment for allowing air to displace the fluid as the fluid exits the container, wherein both the transfer check valve and the venting check valve have an inherent sealing pressure created by the static pressure of the fluid within the container. In addition, the inherent sealing pressure of the venting check valve is less than the inherent sealing pressure of the transfer check valve which allows air to enter the container due to the pressure differen- tial created as the fluid is displaced.
