| 168 | Telescoping member methods and apparatus | US10586115 | 2005-01-14 | US08075217B2 | 2011-12-13 | Donald H. Eason |
| In at least one embodiment, an apparatus (1) that comprises a compression sleeve element (2) established at least partially around portions of a first elongated member (6) that telescopes from a larger elongated member (8) in which it may nest. A relative motion obstruction element (4) may disallow only certain types of motion, e.g., rotational and axial, of the compression sleeve element relative to the elongated members around which it may be at least partially established. As it may be the compression enhancement element (3) —which may be used to generate a retaining compression force element—that prevents perpendicular displacement of the compression sleeve element, deactivation and effective disengagement of the compression enhancement element may allow for a quick removal of the compression sleeve element without requiring that it be slid off an end of either elongated member. | ||||||

The holder further allows for pivotal attachment of individual drums to link or pivot allowing the linked drums to articulate. The holder can also consist of members that allow a connected drum to move in horizontal position, angle, or height of the drum. | ||||||
| 180 | Matter for the all aluminum housing used for producing sound | US11598274 | 2006-11-13 | US20080110320A1 | 2008-05-15 | Cheynetta L. Boone |
| The purpose for the all aluminum housing, it is used for producing sound out of aluminum. When the aluminum is used, to make an instrument—yes, the embodiment of the instrument is aluminum; which it makes the instrument lighter to hold, and it gives a distinguishing sound. A clean, clear, crisp and firm quality sound; no more waiting a year for your instrument to cure, or using your instrument till it cure, or heavy woods or heavy plastics. The reason for the all aluminum housing used for producing sound, and also having a use—for a speaker box to be made out of all aluminum, and not wood to make the speaker box lighter in your home or vehicle (when carrying around your speaker box in your vehicle). The purpose for the all aluminum housing, it's usage for producing sound, and it is ideal for a car back window surface lid. And, it is ideal for intercom boxes; and for a speaker frame for speakers. | ||||||
