Filed:

Nov 5, 2007

Appl. No.:

11/982771

Inventors:

James E. Rodriguez - Aliso Viejo CA, US
Angel Ching - Montebello CA, US

International Classification:

F16K 37/00

US Classification:

137553

Abstract:

A position indicator () mountable on a valve housing () that forms a chamber that holds a piston assembly () that can slide to different positions spaced along an axis () that extends in front and rear directions (F, R), to indicate the position of the piston assembly along the axis. The position indicator includes a frame () that forms a cavity (), a plunger () that is slidably mounted on the frame, and a spring () that urges the plunger forward along the axis. A plurality of switches (-) are mounted in the cavity, and a switch operator in the form of a slider () coupled to the plunger rear end to move with it, operates different switches as the plunger moves forward and rearward along the axis. The valve housing has a rear end () that can be opened and the indicator frame in mounted on the housing rear end, with a plunger front end () projecting forward of the frame and into the housing chamber () and abutting a rear end of the piston assembly in the housing.

International Classification:

F16K 25/00

US Classification:

251174000

Abstract:

A valve of the type wherein high pressure fluid moves through a first moveable member () that lies in a first valve body (), through a rotor channel (), and though a second moveable member () in a second body, with the rotor being rotatable to direct the fluid into a selected passage of the second body. In this valve, forces on the rotor vary with the pressure of the fluid, but are decreased to reduce friction and therefore reduce rotation torque. Forces on the rotor are decreased by constructing each moveable member with a cylindrical surface () that is dynamically sealed against. Each valve body includes a body and an insert () threaded into a front end of the body. The insert has an internal flange () with a flange front end () that abuts the rear of a spring () that urges the movable member forward towards the rotor, and with a flange rear end () that abuts a seal device () that dynamically seals to the cylindrical surface () of the moveable member.

International Classification:

A01M 23/00

Abstract:

A bait station for use with trapping rodents, including a housing, a ballast located within a base of the housing to inhibit movement of the bait station, at least one rodent trap retention area located above the ballast, and at least one rodent access to an interior of the housing though a side panel of the base at a height greater than that of the ballast. The bait station may include a removable tray disposed above the ballast that includes the rodent trap retention area to facilitate rodent removal and cleaning. Opposing first and second rodent access openings may be located on opposite side walls of the base to facilitate rodent entry from multiple directions.
