US Patent:

40903737, May 23, 1978

Filed:

Jan 24, 1977

Appl. No.:

5/761825

Inventors:

Richard D. Lang - Chittenango NY
Theodore S. Bolton - Liverpool NY

Assignee:

Carrier Corporation - Syracuse NY

International Classification:

F25D 2312

US Classification:

62262

Abstract:

A control mechanism for moving a door of an air conditioner which includes a mounted movable carriage in contact with a biased door. The carriage by means of a connected resilient arm containing a pin which slidably follows a ramp arrangement holds the door in an open position when operated in a single direction and released. Upon the second operation in the same direction and subsequent release the biased door returns to a closed position and the control mechanism returns to its initial position.

Filed:

Nov 2, 1987

Appl. No.:

7/115301

Inventors:

Theodore S. Bolton - Liverpool NY

Assignee:

Carrier Corporation - Syracuse NY

International Classification:

F24F 316

US Classification:

98 4024

Abstract:

The discharge air sweep mechanism for an air conditioner is provided with slippage in its drive linkage such that the position of the vanes can be manually adjusted when the drive motor is turned off, or if the vanes become jammed during normal air sweep operation, the drive motor can continue to operate without damage to the mechanism. In one form of linkage, frictional engagement is provided by a pair of arms that are biased together with engaged member disposed therebetween, with the engaged member being allowed to slide between the arms upon the occurrences of either of the above mentioned conditions. Vane stop means is provided to automatically recalibrate the relative positions when normal air sweep operation is resumed.

Assignee:

Carrier Corporation - Syracuse NY

International Classification:

F24F 1300

US Classification:

98114

Abstract:

A plastic sleeve assembly and an air conditioning unit are disclosed for mounting the air conditioning unit in a through-the-wall application. The sleeve assembly includes flange members with screw holes therethrough and standoffs about the screw holes, such that the air conditioning unit, having an L-shaped sealing flange thereon, when inserted into the sleeve and fastened thereto, causes the standoff on the flange to be in compression and not tension as the standoff makes contact with the L-shaped sealing flange when a fastener secures the air conditioner in the sleeve.

Appl. No.:

7/112611

Inventors:

Richard J. Lang - Liverpool NY

Assignee:

General Electric Company - Syracuse NY

International Classification:

H03H 1120

US Classification:

333164

Abstract:

The invention relates to a voltage controlled analog phase shifter for operation at millimeter and microwave wavelengths using MMIC (Monolithic Microwave Integrated circuit) fabrication techniques. The phase shifter is formed of an artificial transmission line consisting of multiple unit elements in which each unit element contains a serial transmission line-inductance and a shunt diode capacitance which is variable as a function of an applied potential. In the design, the interconnecting transmission lines may be a small fraction of a wavelength, substantially less than one-quarter wavelength, and of high impedance relative to the characteristic impedance of the phase shifter. In consequence of the lumped design, each unit element, and a phase shifter using a plurality of such unit elements may be very small. The design also exhibits a low to negligible power consumption.

Theodore S. Bolton - Liverpool NY

Assignee:

Carrier Corporation - Syracuse NY

International Classification:

F24F 1302

US Classification:

98 40C

Abstract:

A duct adapter for use in conjunction with an air conditioning unit is disclosed. This adapter attaches to a discharge opening of an air conditioning unit and acts to divide the stream of conditioned air into multiple streams, one being discharged into the enclosure containing the air conditioning unit and a separate stream being discharged into a duct for delivery at a distant location. Means for attaching the adapter to the air conditioning unit and a damper assembly therein are additionally disclosed.

International Classification:

F25D 1900

US Classification:

62298

Abstract:

The intermediate partition of a room air conditioner is provided with a downwardly extending slot in its upper edge such that installation and removal of the motor, with its attached fans, can be easily accomplished without removal of the partition. A filler plate is provided for insertion into the slot after the motor has been installed into its mount in the outdoor section.

US Classification:

343821

Abstract:

An improved element for use in an electrically steered antenna array is disclosed comprising a dipole, an integral balun and a 180. degree. phase shift bit. The arrangement utilizes printed circuit techniques throughout using an unbalanced microstrip for connection to electrical circuitry, a balun for transitioning from unbalanced microstrip to a balanced dipole antenna and includes a low loss 180. degree. phase shift bit formed by the use of a branched feed network including two diodes whose conductive states determine the sense of antenna excitation, and produce the equivalent of a 180. degree. phase shift bit.
