Trolley Braking System
US Patent:
2013023, Sep 19, 2013
Filed:
Mar 13, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/419239
Inventors:
Daniel Blair Boren - Pukalani HI, US
Brett J. Epstein - Jupiter FL, US

Assignee:
ADVENTURE HOLDINGS LLC - Pukalani HI
International Classification:
B61K 7/02, B61B 7/00
US Classification:
104113, 188 62
Abstract:
A trolley braking system for smoothly reducing the speed of a rider supported by a harness on a cable or rope approaching a landing platform comprises a cylinder having a closed end and a piston slidably mounted in the interior. A braking cable is secured to the piston and routed through an opening in the closed end of the cylinder to a braking block, which is slidably mounted on the cable between the trolley and the landing platform. The system may also may also include a relief valve to release compressed air from the cylinder, so that the braking force may be controlled.

International Classification:
B61B 7/00
US Classification:
104112, 104113, 104 53
Abstract:
A trolley for transporting the rider supported by a harness on a cable or rope, the trolley having a mounting plate configured with a connection point to receive the rider's harness, a pulley rotatably mounted to the mounting plate to support the plate on the cable or rope, and a friction shoe mounted on the plate forward of the pulley to contact the upper portion of the cable or rope, wherein the connection point is located beneath the cable or rope between the centers of the pulley and the friction shoe. The apparatus may also provide a manually operated brake handle to allow the rider to selectively apply braking force to reduce the speed of the trolley on the cable as desired.
Method For Protecting New/Used Engine Parts
US Patent:
2009000, Jan 1, 2009
Filed:
Sep 4, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/204463

International Classification:
C23C 14/54
US Classification:
427 9, 427580
Abstract:
New and used parts of gas and steam turbine engines are protected by imparting a controlled residual compressive stress to given portions of the part and then coated by a CVD or PVD process at low temperatures with layers of TiN or alloys thereof at alternate selective hard and less hardened levels. The protective treatment is particularly efficacious for airfoils of compressor blades/vanes of gas turbine engines and airfoils of airfoils and certain components of steam turbine engines. This method is targeted to reduce erosion, corrosion and stress-corrosion cracking in these parts.

International Classification:
E04G 3/28
US Classification:
182 15
Abstract:
An apparatus for transporting a rider between two points on a cable or rope, having a plurality of supports configured to suspend the cable or rope between two points of unequal elevation and a trolley for transporting the rider supported by a harness on the cable or rope, the trolley having a mounting plate configured with a connection point to receive the rider's harness, a pulley rotatably mounted to the mounting plate to support the plate on the cable or rope, and a friction shoe mounted on the plate forward of the pulley to contact the upper portion of the cable or rope, wherein the connection point is located beneath the cable or rope between the centers of the pulley and the friction shoe.
