US Patent:

7355363, Apr 8, 2008

Filed:

Nov 16, 2004

Appl. No.:

10/989479

Inventors:

Ralph C. Angiuli - Canfield OH, US
Michael T. McMahon - Salem OH, US
Brett A. Reed - Alliance OH, US

Assignee:

Overhead Door Corporation - Farmers Branch TX

International Classification:

G05B 5/00

US Classification:

318466, 318468, 318286, 49 26, 49 28

Abstract:

An operator for a barrier, such as an upward acting door, includes a control unit having two optical limit switches providing output signals to a controller to effect shut-off of the operator motor when the door reaches open and closed limit positions. The limit switches preferably include LED emitter and phototransistor sensor elements and are preferably mounted on a circuit board in close proximity to a screw member which rotates in timed relation to the position of the door. Linearly movable nut members are mounted on the screw member and include or engage optical shield members which move into positions to provide respective output signals from the optical switches. The door closed optical limit switch may incorporate a pre-limit switch function to override a signal from a door bottom edge obstruction sensor.

Assignee:

H.J. Heinz Company - Pittsburgh PA

International Classification:

B65D 37/00

US Classification:

222215, 222212, 222556, 215216, 215235, 215316, 215384, 220675, 220837

Abstract:

A bottle formed of a food-grade plastic material, such as clear polyethylene terephthalate includes a frustoconical neck portion, a shoulder region, a base region, and a sidewall portion have opposed grip-enhancing surfaces, and elastically deformable pressure panels. A cap for the container may include a valve to control product leakage, and may be sized to allow inversion of the bottle. A generally trapezoidal tab of the cap moves between a closed position covering a cap orifice and an open position outside the plane of the cap.
