US Patent:

6488047, Dec 3, 2002

Filed:

Jun 28, 2001

Appl. No.:

09/894491

Inventors:

Donald S. Glover - Birmingham MI
James E. Scanlon - Novi MI
Mark Koeroghlian - Austin TX

Assignee:

Brass Craft Manufacturing Company - Novi MI

International Classification:

F16K 1728

US Classification:

137517, 137460, 1375155, 251 65

Abstract:

A number of improved excess flow valves are disclosed wherein the flow around a magnet holding portion of the valve body is generally unrestricted to reduce the pressure drop across the valve. The valve is preferably also formed separately from its valve seat to reduce the complexity of the valve, and allow it to have less resistance to flow. The valve seat may be provided as a separate part, or may be provided in the conduit.

Assignee:

Brass Craft Manufacturing Company - Novi MI

International Classification:

F16K017/28
F16K031/08

US Classification:

137517, 1374542, 1375155, 251 65

Abstract:

A number of improved excess flow valves are disclosed wherein pressure drop is optimized through the device to maximize efficiency while minimizing shut-off flow rates. Flow restrictions are minimized throughout the valve structure and maximized across a valve closure plate, eliminating flow restriction variations caused by orientation of the valve components. A magnet having radially opposing poles optimizes the magnet's attractive force relationship with the valve plate.

Appl. No.:

6/377935

Inventors:

James E. Scanlon - Madison Heights MI

Assignee:

Ross Operating Valve Company - Detroit MI

International Classification:

F16K 1120

US Classification:

137884

Abstract:

A flow control for base mounted valves having a number of ports that extend through it and valve elements that are positioned for directly controlling the flow through at least certain of the ports. The valve elements include operators that are accessible at one end of the valve block for controlling the valve elements.

Assignee:

AlliedSignal Inc. - Morristown NJ

International Classification:

B60R 2244

US Classification:

2423753

Abstract:

A seat belt retractor (20): comprising a spool (25), a frame (52) for rotationally supporting the spool, a seat belt (16) receivable on the spool, a rewind spring (100) for biasing the spool in a belt winding direction comprising a spring coil (100) having an inner spring end (103) connected to and rotated by a shaft (56) movable with the spool and an outer spring end (104) and a rotatable spring cup (70,72, 80, 81) connected to the outer spring end in continuous connection with the retractor shaft (56) for unwinding a predetermined number of coils from the spring coil in relation to the rotation of the shaft and reducing the rewind force or tensions applied to the shoulder of an occupant.
