Appl. No.:

09/452350

Inventors:

Michael Kenna - Mesa AZ
Jon Ward - Reston VA
Michael Farrier - Lakeside AZ
Steven Wallace - Arlington VA

Assignee:

US Classification:

13762511, 13762413, 13762519

Abstract:

A water distribution valve, ideally suited for distributing water from a recirculating pump of a swimming pool to selective outlet lines, is designed with a main housing in the form of an outer cylindrical section. This main housing has outlet ports located through the peripheral surface thereof at equal angular spaced intervals. These outlet openings are located in a plane which is perpendicular to the central axis of the main housing. A fluid distribution member, in the form of a T-shaped body, is rotatably mounted inside the main housing member. The base or stem of the T is connected with a water inlet; and one arm of the T has a fluid delivery opening in it for delivering water from the inlet through the opening. The fluid delivery opening in the arm is designed for mating alignment with a selected one of the outlet openings in the main housing; so that when the T is rotated into alignment with one of these openings, water is delivered from a pump, through the inlet, to the fluid delivery opening and from there, through the selected fluid outlet opening in the main housing.

Abstract:

A connector insertion tool includes a pneumatic drive mechanism for connecting two structural members through the use of connectors having two spiked ends oriented in different planes relative to each other. A first pneumatic mechanism rotates a first spiked end of a pair of connectors into a position for being driven into a structural member. A pneumatic mechanism drives a block which engaged and drives the spiked ends into a first structural member, and positions the second spiked end of each connector into position for being driven into a second structural member. A pair of clamp arms rotate into position through the operation of the pneumatic drive mechanism causing a connector to be driven into opposite sides of a second structural member for connecting the first and second structural members, for example, beams in wood-frame construction, together.
