This is the copyright waiver Background info. 01 : This is to note that the original Mechanical Linkage, the Peaucellier-Lipkin linkage, from which the EB Pendulum is only one point in difference ( a Switch of Pivot point and purpose = EB Pendulums purpose is to produce True Curves as apposed to the Single Real Straight Line Mechanical Motion of the Peaucellier-Lipkin Linkage ) , was invented / introduced in the later part of the 18 hundred's and as such there really is no true need to debate about patent rights relating to these linkages since such rights has long ago lapsed by now. 02: NOTE for those more legalistic among us : The EB pendulum was invented in 1986 and about a year later was granted a provisional patent ( under another name = FLARD = meaning Four Levered Rocker Device as a New Bicycle Crank & Helicopter Blade Sweep = I may elaborate on these some more later ) in South Africa. Those kind of patents only last for a year anyway, so from 1988 onwards a passing of about 23 years occurred , leaving any patent claims to be made on the EB truly a thing of the past since the 20 year expiry deadline is long gone on that one too, referring to any claims of Newness value. So relax ,......this stuff is really legally free to use. The EB is thus my original concoction in a stalled attempt to invent a gear-less Gearbox ( using only levers / linkages ) and this invention attempt was before being informed about the Peaucellier-Lipkin linkage. The Lapsed Provisional Patent is mentioned only to legally establish the claimed time / period of invention as above being in the time period closely after the month of March of 1986. So anyway.....i have the right to give the EB idea away, for free ...... so here it is !! 03: However you do need to legally explore your own claim to "newness value" if you wish to apply any of this websites ideas in a possible new patentable design /idea of your own making by using somewhere in your own design the EB SIMPLEX LEG arrangement. 04: In such an event note that patent rights should only be claimed for that part of your design that is in addition to the EB SIMPLEX LEG or EB ORIGINAL PENDULUM, if it is indeed possible { ...i speak in ignorance...not being very lawyer-ish myself... } to make such a partial, cut up, patent application. Anyway a patent Attorney or someone who knows that stuff can help you out there. ( ...for big bucks unfortunately....) 05: These thoughts above are just added so as to ( hopefully, if interested parties take note of it ) relieve me ( and yourself ) of having the hassle of Patent Right Dispute issues cropping up as various parties explore the use of the EB SIMPLEX LEG & / or EB PENDULUM in their designs. 06: PLEASE TAKE NOTE that the Waiver of rights refer here to the use of the original material on the subject of the EB, TWINE WAVE STUFF only, from the writer referred to as m, as presented on this website. No information as found in any OFFSITE link references that may be on this site whether now or in the future, are covered in this release given for general free use of the EB Original Pendulum's & EB SIMPLEX LEG LINKAGE, TWINE WAVE PRINCIPLES, information only. 07: This simply mean that i (... that is me --> m ... ) won't hassle you for a share in any benefit you may derive out of this EB stuff ....CLEAR...!!!???
