An apparatus including a mirror mounted to a frame which attaches to a peripheral back lighting assembly that supports the mirror assembly.

The present invention relates to a floating loading buoy (1) comprising a surface element (2), columns (3) connecting the surface element (2) to a submerged pontoon element (4), mooring devices (5) for securing the loading buoy (1) to the seabed (6), at least one attachment point (7) for transfer pipelines (8) from a production/processing/storage unit (9) to the loading buoy (1), mooring and transfer devices (10) for transferring fluid from the loading buoy (1) to a loading/unloading vessel (11)...

A device for a floating frame that is to be used for assisting in work performed from the underside of an automobile includes a frame plate associated with the floating frame, a unit plate attached to the unit carrying the chassis/body and a ball roller positioned between the two plates. The ball roller is connected to the frame plate by way of an outer tube and the ball roller permits the floating frame to move side to side relative to the unit in a simple and easy manner.

A floating dock includes a plurality of float modules comprised of containers having opposing walls, a deck with opposing edges mounted in spaced relationship above the float modules, and a pair of wales extending along opposing walls of the float modules and opposing edges of the deck. Compression rods extend between the wales and act on the pair of wales such that the compression rods exert compression force on the float modules and deck. A compression beam or plywood panel extends between the...

A toy for the bathtub and having a somewhat conical chamber in which a quantity of suds and bubbles may be confined. The chamber merges upwardly with a restricted passageway which in turn terminates upwardly in a nozzle. Displacement downwardly of the toy in the water causes forceful ejection of the suds and bubbles from the nozzle.

A drill string is rotated by a top drive system and includes a floating sub which interconnects the upper end thereof with the drill pipe, and a bit at the lower end thereof. The bit is connected to the lower end of the drill pipe by means of a shock absorber. The floating sub prevents vibrational energy from the drill string from damaging the top drive system while the shock absorber prevents vibrational energy from damaging the bit and vice versa.

A floating floor comprises a plurality of square buffer members arranged in parallel at regular intervals on a supporting structural floor, a plurality of floor panels vertically spaced above the supporting structural floor by the supporting members to form an air layer between them. The floor panels are respectively provided with a plurality of air holes through which the air layer is communicated with the outside of the floor panels. The floor panel may be a hollow panel having a plurality of ...

Compression rods extend between the wales and act on the pair of wales such that the compression rods exert compression force on the float modules and deck. A compression beam or plywood panel extends between the...

A floating wharf structure has a plurality of adjacent arranged interconnected float units, each float unit comprising an enclosed substantially rectangular shell structure. A device for interconnecting the float units comprises flange structures projecting from the sides of the float units having horizontal top and bottom mounting surfaces which cooperate with upper and lower stringers mounted respectively against the top and bottom mounting surfaces of the flange structures. These stringers ex...

A floating breakwater is disclosed which comprises a plurality of floating breakwater units interconnected with each other in side by side relation and anchored to the sea bottom with anchor cables or chains. Each floating breakwater units comprises a center float, a front and rear barrier joined thereto with connecting members in suitably spaced apart relation or directly joined to the center float so as to define the separated spaces therebetween. The pitching, heaving and surging of the float...
