Filed:

Jan 12, 2009

Appl. No.:

12/351966

Inventors:

Jon Allen - Portland OR, US
Alan Bronson - Warren OR, US

International Classification:

A01M 31/06

US Classification:

43 3

Abstract:

A non-motorized waterfowl decoy device includes a recoil mechanism adapted for use in a front-facing position or a rear-facing position. The recoil mechanism includes a rotatable spindle having a long axis about four times greater than its diameter. The recoil mechanism further includes a elastic drive member adapted to slidably couple into a pair of corresponding slots on the spindle and engage a rear-support post having a u-shaped alignment channel. A pull cord attached to the spindle causes the spindle to rotate and coil the elastic drive member. Positioning the pull cord through a provided aperture on the rear guide-post enables reward-facing operation and, positioning the pull cord through a provided aperture on a front guide posts enables forward-facing operation.

Jon Allen - Milwaukie OR, US

International Classification:

B60S 3/04
G06T 17/00
G05B 19/042

Abstract:

An automated/robotic car wash system is disclosed that is able to autonomously wash and dry a vehicle using steam and/or high-pressure water. High-pressure water, steam, and/or pressurized air outputs are mounted to a tool head, which is in turn mounted to the end of a multi-axis robotic gantry system wash that maneuvers around the surface of the vehicle. Also provided are vehicle washing processes that automatically controls the movement and operation of the system, through an automatic main controller that generates and analyzes input data in the form of a movement program, a safety program, a user entry program, a toolpath program, and/or a utilities management program.
