All-Terrain Variable-Volume Multi-Article Utility Carrier

US Patent:
5033759, Jul 23, 1991
Filed:
Jun 14, 1990
Appl. No.:
7/538201
Inventors:
John H. Wix - Meeker CO
International Classification:
B62B 104
US Classification:
280 4718
Abstract:
A manually-powered multi-article utility carrier has a mobile body defined by separate spaced apart upright front and rear main support structures being rigidly interconnected by a load-supporting bottom platform structure, and separate auxiliary support structures movably interfaced telescopically with the main support structures. The main support structures, bottom platform structure and auxiliary support structures together define the capacity of a variable-volume multi-article holding cavity of the carrier body. Locking mechanisms releasably couple the respective support structures together for locking the auxiliary structures in one of a series of extended longitudinal positions relative to the main structures for varying the volume of the carrier body holding cavity. The carrier body has a generally upright orientation when in a freestanding resting position and can be angularly tilted to assume a transport orientation wherein it rests on a pair of ski-like skids attached thereto. A storage compartment is attached to the carrier body so as to underlie the bottom platform structure, and a pair of ground wheels are rotatably mounted at opposite sides of the compartment.

Ventilated Toilet Seat

US Patent:
4620329, Nov 4, 1986
Filed:
Jun 17, 1985
Appl. No.:
6/745498
Inventors:
John Wix - Meeker CO
International Classification:
A47K 1300, E03D 904
US Classification:
4217
Abstract:
Air is removed from the vicinity of a toilet bowl of conventional design by means of a ventilation system comprising a toilet seat having an internal channel that conveys air through the hinge mechanism of the seat to an exhaust fan. The hinge mechanism is comprised of paired units, each utilizing interengaged threaded hollow tubes and right angle fittings to establish passageway between the channel of the seat and downstream air-conveying components.
