Filed:

May 17, 2005

Appl. No.:

11/130676

Inventors:

Sean V. Ciesielka - Belvidere IL, US
James S. Zielinski - Schaumburg IL, US
David R. Nowak - Chicago IL, US

Assignee:

Illinois Tool Works Inc - Glenview IL

International Classification:

G01M 19/00

US Classification:

731182, 73119 R, 731181

Abstract:

An air filter restriction sensor assembly for use on an engine, such as a small gas engine provides a simple on/off system with remote indicating to notify the operator of the air restriction. More specifically, the air restriction in the air intake line of the engine creates a vacuum which pulls on a plunger mechanism until the mechanism contacts a switch, such as a membrane switch, and activates the switch. The switch can be electrically connected to an indicator device, such as a light-emitting diode, which is readily visible to the operator to notify the operator of the air restriction.

Michael C. Blaha - Chicago IL

Assignee:

Illinois Tool Works Inc. - Glenview IL

International Classification:

B65D 5500

US Classification:

16 2

Abstract:

A refrigration, foam sealing bushing is provided for use within a refrigeration door cavity. The bushing is formed of a male member, and a female member. The male member includes a head portion, an upper shank portion, a reduced lower shank portion, and a disc-like member. The female member is formed of a tubular section having an open upper end and an open lower end. The tubular section has an axially extending bore which extends between the open upper end and the open lower end for telescopingly receiving the lower shank portion of the male member. Passageways are formed between the outer surface of the reduced lower shank portion and inner surface of the axially extending bore of the tubular section for permitting air to escape from the door cavity but yet preventing foam insulation from escaping during the injection of the foam insulation into the door cavity.

Abstract:

Various embodiments of the present disclosure provide a reusable valve in which a seal portion is co-molded with and overmolded to the valve stem to provide a secure mechanical bond therebetween. In one embodiment, the valve includes a snap fit between the valve stem and a retaining cap to provide easy assembly of the valve as well as an efficient and compact retention mechanism for a biasing spring and the valve stem in relation to the valve housing. In one embodiment, the valve includes an easy-to-use opening and closing mechanism that provides tactile feedback to the user when moving the valve stem to an open position and to a closed position to inflate, deflate, or maintain air or gas pressure in the inflatable article. The present disclosure also provides a dunnage bag with such valve.
