20080203263 | Adaptive mounting structure - A novel adaptive mounting device that effectively mounts and secures objects to nonplanar surfaces, and in particular effectively mounts and secures objects in a quick and efficient manner to complex contours of different automotive vehicle dashboard and other interior vehicle surfaces having differing coverings of differing textures. By example and without limitation, this novel adaptive mounting device includes a substantially flexible container containing a substantially plastically formable composition; a frame at least partially embedded in the plastically formable composition; and a presentation structure substantially supported on the frame external of the container. A method for manufacturing the novel adaptive mounting device is also provided. | 08-28-2008 |
20090242719 | Adaptive mounting structure - A novel adaptive mounting device that effectively mounts and secures objects to nonplanar surfaces, and in particular effectively mounts and secures objects in a quick and efficient manner to complex contours of different automotive vehicle dashboard and other interior vehicle surfaces having differing coverings of differing textures. By example and without limitation, this novel adaptive mounting device includes a substantially flexible container forming a vacuum chamber containing and substantially filled with a substantially granular substance. A mounting structure having a frame supporting a presentation structure is joined to the bladder with at least a coupler or other presentation structure external of the bladder. A substantially air impermeable seal is formed between the bladder and a portion of the frame, and at least a partial vacuum is formed within the bladder. | 10-01-2009 |
20090302185 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR ELEVATING AN EQUIPMENT UNIT - A system may support an equipment unit above a ground surface. The system generally includes a support and a cavity. The support may elevate the equipment unit off of the ground surface. The cavity may be adapted for receiving a fill material to maintain the fillable pad on the ground surface. | 12-10-2009 |
20110147558 | Insulated Foot Pad for a Tripod - An insulated foot pad for a tripod has an insulated block sandwiched between two plates. The plates are made of a material that is a poor conductor of heat. Tripod legs placed on the foot pads will not sink into the snow on sunny days nor into warm asphalt on hot days. | 06-23-2011 |
20110210224 | Shapeable support stand - A shapeable support stand for items such as portable phones and cameras includes a shapeable backing member, a footer member and a spacer member therebetween, the spacer member providing a channel between the backing member and the footer member which is open at both ends and thus can accommodate items having widths greater than that of the support stand. The support stand can be made from a single piece of pliable fabric which is sewn to provide all three members, with the pliable fabric of the backing member containing a shapeable filler such as beads. The pliable fabric is advantageously microsuade, and the footer member can contain an elongated insert such as a tube of closed-cell extruded polystyrene foam. | 09-01-2011 |
20120032053 | FIXTURE FOR SECURING A THIN-WALLED COMPONENT - A fixture for securing a thin-walled component includes a support having one or more securing devices for securing the component to the support. An inflatable pressure element is adapted to press, when inflated, against a flexible liner located adjacent the thin wall of the component. The inflated pressure element and the liner act to damp vibrations in the component during machining of another side of the thin wall. The liner has at least one stiffening element located opposite a position where a machining operation is performed on the other side of the thin wall. The stiffening element holds the liner away from the thin wall to create a cavity between the liner and the thin wall. | 02-09-2012 |
20130043365 | Emergency Water Tank with Inflatable Elevation Device - An inflatable or fixed-volume water tank that is equipped with one or more inflatable elevation means designed to elevate the tank while it is in use in order to enable convenient use of the tank and to enable water to flow from the tank by force of gravitation; An inflatable device designed to serve as an elevated platform for an inflatable or fixed-volume water tank. | 02-21-2013 |
20140263912 | COLD FLOW MACHINE ANCHORING - A leveling pad for stabilizing a device is provided. The leveling pad comprises a metal base having a socket configured to receive a portion of the device and a liner coupled to the metal base and being configured to cold flow into a profile of a floor surface when a weight of the device is applied to the leveling pad. The liner may be of a polymer, such as vinyl. The liner is further configured to plastically deform into the profile of the floor surface. The plastic deformation is designed to increase a magnitude of a shear force or a tensile force required to separate the liner from a portion of the floor surface into which it is configured to plastically deform. | 09-18-2014 |
20150308140 | MODULAR MONOPOLE TOWER FOUNDATION - A foundation for a monopole includes a central portion, a plurality of legs, and a vertically oriented outer perimeter wall surrounding the plurality of legs, wherein a cavity formed within the outer perimeter wall defines a volume configured to contain ballast. Each of the legs has a proximal end and a distal end, wherein each of the plurality of legs is removably attached to the central portion at its proximal end and extends radially from the central portion. | 10-29-2015 |
