GYROSTABILISERS
A gyrostabiliser having a vacuum chamber assembly is disclosed. The gyrostabilizer can have a flywheel enclosed within a vacuum chamber formed by a housing. The flywheel shaft can be fixed to or integral with the flywheel and located relative to the housing by upper and lower spin bearings which permit rotation of the flywheel about the spin axis.
Disposable oil change kit
A tool for liquid disposal is provided for collecting liquids and for changing engine oil or other hydrocarbon containing products, whereby the liquid, spent oil, or hydrocarbon is encapsulated in a non-biodegradable substance rendering the kit safe for disposal in a non-hazard or controlled substance landfill. A disposable container with a diffuser may be composed of rows of apertures that are used to channel the liquid to all levels of the container so that liquids can be exposed to the maximum surface area of the non-biodegradable substance contained in layered pouches containing the absorbent for total encapsulation.
Popularity of content items
Search results may be yielded based on a search query. A search query inspired by a user may be received. Based on the search query, multiple search results each including links may be determined. The multiple search results may include a first search result that includes a link to a first digital instance that describes or embodies a first content item, and a second search result that includes a link to a second digital instance that describes or embodies a second content item. A perceived popularity may be assessed for each of the first and second content items. The perceived popularity may be a measure of the popularity of the first and second content items, and may be distinct from a popularity of the first and second digital instances. A presentation of the multiple search results may be determined based on the accessed perceived popularity.
Oil pan structure
An oil pan structure (1) includes a lower structure (2) fixed to a lower portion of an engine block, a main oil pan (3) provided under an engine block with the lower structure being between the main oil pan and the engine block, a sub oil pan (5) that is provided in the main oil pan (3) and forms a first chamber (6) and a second chamber (7) inside the main oil pan (3). The sub oil pan (5) is separated into an upper body (5a) and a lower body (5b). The upper body (5a) is formed together with the lower structure (2) by injection molding.
Fluid drain pan with stowable pouring stand
A drain pan has a reservoir portion with a funnel plate for collecting drained fluids. The funnel plate has sloped surfaces to direct fluids towards a drain screen, with one of those surfaces spaced from the reservoir to form a spout for pouring out the collected fluids. A deployable leg is attached to the reservoir adjacent the spout for elevating the reservoir while pouring out the collected fluids. The leg has a foot portion for resting on the ground or other horizontal surface.
WASTE OIL RECYCLING DEVICE
A waste oil recycling device is provided, wherein the waste oil recycling device includes: a basin configured to be mounted to a barrel and including a first internal space and a basin opening in communication with each other, the first internal space being configured to be in communication with an interior of barrel, the basin opening being open toward a first direction; at least one connection tube extending on the basin in the first direction and configured to be in communication with the interior of the barrel; and a receiver connected to the at least one connection tube and including a second internal space and a receiving opening in communication with each other, the second internal space being in communication with the at least one connection tube.
Foldable mechanic's creeper
In one aspect there is provided a foldable creeper having a body comprised of a foldable material. The body has a first end, a second end and is foldable in a direction along a folding axis. The creeper further comprises a bottom, a raisable circumferential wall having first end portion, a second end portion, a first side wall and a second side wall, said first and second side walls running along axes that are substantially parallel to the folding axis. A first locking member and a second locking member are provided for supporting the first and second side walls. The first end portion, the second end portion and the first and second side walls are moveable relative to the bottom and cooperate to form a circumferential raised barrier around the periphery when the creeper is in an unfolded configuration.
Lube skid
A lube skid apparatus configured to be moveable and transportable. The lube skid having one or more tanks carried by a scaffold of the lube skid. One or both tanks having sloped bottom walls to optimize flow of fluids in the tanks to minimize residual fluid left in the tank. One or both tanks having sloped top walls configured to contain and direct the flow of fluid spills on the skid to an adjacent sump. The skid also carries a plurality of service devices such as a motor, an air compressor, a tank to hold compressed air, pumps to move fluid with associated filters and hoses, and one or more service storage drawers.
OIL DRAINAGE AND SHIELDING DEVICE FOR MOTOR VEHICLES
An oil capturing device for a motor vehicle is disclosed, may include a handle that functions as a channel for fluid flow, facilitating the easy pouring out of collected oil. The device may include an open top with a face on one side, serving as a shield to protect an user and surrounding components from oil discharge during the draining process. The design may include a partial cutout in the Z-axis, creating a higher plane above a top of the body to act as a shield and a guide for positioning the device at the oil draining orifice.
Waste oil recycling device
A waste oil recycling device is provided, wherein the waste oil recycling device includes: a basin configured to be mounted to a barrel and including a first internal space and a basin opening in communication with each other, the first internal space being configured to be in communication with an interior of barrel, the basin opening being open toward a first direction; at least one connection tube extending on the basin in the first direction and configured to be in communication with the interior of the barrel; and a receiver connected to the at least one connection tube and including a second internal space and a receiving opening in communication with each other, the second internal space being in communication with the at least one connection tube.
