Appl. No.:

12/658304

Inventors:

Richard Alexander Olson - Fallbrook CA, US
Mark Ronald Bridgeford - Alta Loma CA, US

Assignee:

Ice Management Systems, Inc. - Temecula CA

International Classification:

B64D 15/12

US Classification:

244134 D

Abstract:

An apparatus for removing ice from an object (e.g., in-flight ice removal from the skin of an aircraft) includes an actuator assembly that forms an elongated electrically conductive loop. The actuator is mounted in a position enabling it to impact the object to be de-iced in response to movement of the loop that is produced by electric current pulses flowing in opposite directions in two mechanically independent loop subassemblies. The loop subassemblies include multiple electrically conductive elements interconnected at their ends using elongated flexible connectors in order to introduce a physically discontinuity that reduces any restriction of relative movement of the subassembly ends caused by the connectors, thereby achieving enhanced operation and less fatigue failure as compared to a rigid structure having encapsulated element

US Patent:

55279910, Jun 18, 1996

Filed:

Nov 3, 1993

Appl. No.:

8/147060

Inventors:

Walter A. Sadowski - Newington CT
Richard M. Olson - Newington CT
William R. Stephens - Rocky Hill CT

Assignee:

Carlingswitch, Inc. - Plainville CT

International Classification:

H01H 902

US Classification:

174 51

Abstract:

A generally rectangular plastic switch housing has locating tabs that position a U-shaped hardened steel grounding strap on the housing so that the strap and housing can be conveniently mounted from the front of a panel in a panel opening that includes relieved and upset portions designed to make electrical contact with serrated segments of the U-shaped strap's legs. The base of the U-shaped strap has an opening with upset edges designed to make electrical contact with the center terminal in the bottom wall of the switch housing.

US Patent:

Filed:

Dec 28, 1993

Appl. No.:

8/173984

Inventors:

Richard M. Olson - Newington CT
William R. Stephens - Rocky Hill CT

Assignee:

Carlingswitch, Inc. - Plainville CT

International Classification:

H01H 900

US Classification:

200315

Abstract:

An electrical switch has three terminals, one that is always connected to one side of an LED and in parallel to a resistor. A rocker slides a movable contact to and from an engine OFF or kill position, from and to an engine RUN position. An oil detector circuit uses the engines magneto system to light the LED when the switch is in the RUN position and the engine is rotated. The flashing LED provides a visual indication of low oil in the engine.
