Appl. No.:

10/831439

Inventors:

Larry T. Guillemette - E. Greenwich RI, US
Joseph A. Lane - Taunton MA, US

Assignee:

Amtrol, Inc. - West Warwick RI

International Classification:

B65D 1/04

US Classification:

141 1, 141 24, 141 25, 141 27, 141114, 2205672, 220585

Abstract:

A mobile prepressurized fluid storage tank is disclosed where the compressed air, completely separated from the fluid by a flexible diaphragm, dispenses the fluid under pressure, e. g. , into an engine. The prepressurized diaphragm-type fluid storage tank is initially charged with a gas on one side of the diaphragm. A connector on the other end of the tank is connected to the fluid pumping system. Fluid is pumped into the tank until a predetermined pressure is reached and then the fill valve is shut off. A second connection attached to a bottom system connection has a hose. At the end of the hose there is a fluid shut off valve. Dispensing of the fluid takes place through the fluid shut off valve. The prepressurized fluid storage tank is mounted on a frame that contains wheels for mobility.

US Classification:

623 237

Abstract:

Methods of repairing the mitral valve and reducing mitral regurgitation. One method includes securing a first tissue anchor to a position on a posterior portion of the annular tissue of the mitral valve and a second tissue anchor to a position on an anterior portion of the annular tissue of the mitral valve. At least one tensile member spans between the first and second tissue anchors and across the orifice of the mitral valve. When tension is applied to the at least one tensile member, the posterior portion of the annular tissue is pulled toward the anterior portion.

International Classification:

F16L 5504

US Classification:

220530

Abstract:

Expansion tanks having a pair of hollow body members. Each hollow body member has an end wall and a tubular side wall having an end portion. The end portions of the side walls are in end to end relation. There is a continuous retaining ring having a first peripheral portion and a second peripheral portion. The end portions of the side walls are united to the first peripheral portion so as to form a tank. The second peripheral portion is located interior to the first peripheral portion. There is also a flexible diaphragm in and spanning the tank and having a peripheral portion in peripheral engagement with the end portion of the side wall of one of the hollow body members. The second peripheral portion of the retaining ring engages and compressingly holds the peripheral portion of the diaphragm in peripheral engagement with the side wall.

Amtrol Inc. - West Warwick RI

International Classification:

B65D 4702

US Classification:

137315

Abstract:

A non-refillable valve for a pressure container which includes a housing with a central passageway, which has a lower portion that is narrower than its middle portion which in turn is narrower than its upper portion. A side port is present in the lower region of the middle portion and an outlet nozzle is attached to the side port. The lower end of the housing is adapted to sealingly engage the pressure to provide communication therebetween. The valve stem is rotatably positioned in the upper portion of the central passageway. The internal end of the valve stem extends into the middle portion of the central passageway and has a longitudinal central bore present part way through the body portion. A resilient valve sealing member has a body portion and an upper flange that extends upwardly and outwardly from the body. A vertical post is positioned in the middle of the top surface of the upper flange and slidingly and rotatably engages the central bore on the bottom of the valve stem.

Assignee:

Amtrol Inc. - West Warwick RI

International Classification:

B01D 1900

US Classification:

55170

Abstract:

Closed liquid circulating systems, which have supply and return lines and a circulating pump, have a problem when gas present in the circulating liquid. A device for removing the gas by insertion in the system includes an upright main body which has an upper chamber and a lower chamber. The separating horizontal wall has a gas discharge port in the center thereof. The horizontal inlet has an integral diffuser positioned immediately inside of the lower chamber. The integral diffuser is affixed at horizontal and vertical angles to the horizontal axis of the inlet. The horizontal outlet has a vertical pipe leg positioned inside of the lower chamber so that the lower segment thereof is positioned in the lower portion of the lower chamber and that the vertical axis of the lower segment of the vertical pipe leg is aligned in the vertical axis of the upright main body. A gas vent-eliminator is positioned within the upper chamber. The liquid enters the inlet and is forced tangentially against the side of and downwardly in the lower chamber so as to form a water vortex in the lower chamber whereby the gas in the liquid is released in the form of bubbles.

US Classification:

524432

Abstract:

A universal elastomeric compound whose improved features display excellent permeability while simultaneously having above average chlorine compatibility. This improved elastomeric compound comprises a measured quantity of a terpolymer of ethylene-propylene-non-conjugated diene copolymer (i. e. EPDM, e. g. ROYALENE 3180), chlorinated Isobutylene (e. g. Chlorobutyl 1066), furnace or carbon black (e. g. , N-550 Black), paraffinic oil (e. g. , Sunpar 150 Oil), organofunctional magnesium silicate (e. g. , Mistron CB), magnesium oxide (e. g. , Maglite D Bar), zinc oxide, stearic acid, tetramethylthiuram disulfide (e. g. , TUEX), zinc thiophosphate (e. g. , ROYALAC 136), and treated sulfur (e. g. , Spider Sulfur). Adding a specified quantity of said ROYALAC 136, TUEX, and Spider Sulfur to the EPDM/butyl compound imparts low taste and odor to water.

US Classification:

220403

Abstract:

A flexible diaphragm/liner located in a tank connected to a liquid system. The bottom opening in the flexible diaphragm/liner is mounted in a hole in the bottom of the tank. The rigid tank is connected to a system to permit materials, like water, etc. , to pass into and out of the interior of the flexible diaphragm/liner depending upon the operating needs of the system. The diaphragm/liner has an upper portion which is adapted to flex into or out of its lower portion in a predictable fashion, under pressure changes. A compressible gas is used in the upper portion of the tank.

US Classification:

55170

Abstract:

A gas-liquid vortex separator-eliminator which is adapted to be connected in a closed liquid circulating system having supply and return lines including a circulating pump connected therein for circulating liquid in the circulating system. The upright main body of the devise has an upper chamber and a lower chamber. The upper chamber and lower chambers are separated by a horizontal wall that has a gas discharge port in the center thereof. The inlet has a longitudinal axis which is generally perpendicular to the vertical axis of the upright main body. The inlet has a short pipe leg connected to the upper portion of lower chamber. The outlet has a longitudinal axis which is generally perpendicular to the vertical axis of the main body and which is generally parallel to the longitudinal axis of the inlet. The outlet is positioned in the lower portion of the chamber. When the separator-eliminator is in operation, liquid enters the inlet and exits through the outlet, the flow of the liquid in lower chamber producing a vortex whereby gas in the liquid is released in the form of bubbles.
