    Abstract: A wheel and brake disc apparatus of a vehicle includes a roadway wheel and a brake disc mounted rotatably to the vehicle, the roadway wheel and the brake disc arranged about an axis of rotation. The roadway wheel extends radially in relation to the axis of rotation to a wheel rim configured to hold a tire adapted to operate on a roadway surface. The brake disc is inboard of the roadway wheel and extends radially in relation to the axis of rotation to a brake disc rim. A brake caliper assembly mounted at a fixed location over the brake disc rim is configured to squeeze brake pads against the brake disc. The brake disc rim includes a tread configured to operate on a rail without interference from the brake caliper assembly.

    Abstract: A fastener includes a shank and an annular body. The shank is arranged about an axis of rotation and includes an external thread having a thread pitch and a thread lead angle to a plane normal to the axis of rotation. The annular body includes an annular face and a cam annular face. The annular body is received about the shank and arranged about the axis of rotation. The cam annular face includes a ramp and a shoulder. The shoulder includes a base, a crest, and an axial thickness extending from the base to the crest. The axial thickness is greater than the thread pitch. The ramp inclines between the base and the crest at a slope angle to the plane. The slope angle is equal to or greater than the thread lead angle.

    Abstract: An accordion toilet plunger with disposable cover assembly includes an elongated handle and an attached accordion head having an open end defined by a circular rim opposite the elongated handle. A plurality of pleats is formed between the elongated handle and the open end, defining an interior volume. A flexible plastic bag having closed end and an open end is provided. The bag has an interior volume enclosing the accordion head and at least a portion of the elongated handle. A portion of the closed end of the flexible plastic bag is received within the interior volume of the accordion head. A securing ring is moveable between an expanded condition and a contracted condition to expand around and contract against the circular rim and secure the flexible plastic bag to the circular rim.

    Abstract: A start/service aircraft battery system including a housing on wheels/dolly for convenient movement to a space adjacent an aircraft to be started/serviced. An electrical output cable is carried by the housing and attachable to the aircraft to be started/serviced. A control panel on the housing includes a start/service switch having a start position and a service position. A starting battery and a larger service battery are carried by the housing, the starting battery being coupled to the electrical output cable through the start/service switch in the start position and the larger service battery being coupled to the electrical output cable through the start/service switch in the service position. The starting battery is removably attached to the start/service aircraft battery system for individual starting operations.
