Filed:

Jan 2, 2002

Appl. No.:

10/039963

Inventors:

Kenneth Michael Jackson - Phoenix AZ 85022

International Classification:

A63B 6934

US Classification:

482 83

Abstract:

The fluid collection system for ring events comprises a mat, an extraction port and connector, a flexible hose and wet vacuum source. The mat has raised edges to support a sloped surface that gravity feeds the extraction port and raised gasket depressions to support a ring stool. The extraction port has apertures for drainage and is connected to the flexible hose and wet vacuum source by the extraction port connector. This connector fits into at the rear of the extraction port at the 90Â angle of the mat. The mat is hinged to allow it to fold in either direction for rapid deployment and removal. When the mat is deployed, all fluids distributed in the competitors corners will be removed by aide of gravity and the wet vacuum source, leaving the surfaces clean and dry. The fluid collection system promotes safety, hygienic, fair ring event conditions.

Abstract:

Power to a load is controlled by actuation of an inductive circuit from a first condition of low inductance to a second condition of higher inductance in response to a preselected overcurrent condition. In a first preferred embodiment, the inductive circuit comprises a pair of coils electrically connectible so that magnetic fields produced by current flow in the coils oppose each other in the first condition, reducing the magnetic flux and thus the effective inductance of the circuit. The magnetic fields are either neutral to each other or reinforce each other in the second condition, giving rise to a higher inductance. Alternatively, the inductive circuit may include one or more fixed value inductors interposed between a power supply and a load in response to an overcurrent condition.
