Date Jan. 10, 1991.A sanitary fixture constructed from at least inner (1) and outer (45, 50, 61) shell sections formed from any suitable material such as a plastics material. The inner shell (1) has an upwardly facing concave basin portion (1A) and is supported on a cradle like member (30). The supported inner shell (1) provides structural integrity for the fixture and the remaining components of the fixture are carried essentially by the supported inner shell. The cradle like support (30) has a bottom section (31) for attachment to a supporting base, a top section (33) that engages the undersurface of the basin, and an intermediate section (32) interconnecting the top and bottom sections together. The supported inner shell provides structural integrity for the fixture whereby the outer shell section of the fixture which extends downwardly form an upper rim (10) of the basin, is essentially non-load bearing and thereby capable of being removed from fixture servicing or for substitution with a replacement shell of a different color, texture, design or material. The bottom section of the cradle like support can be made detachable (60, 78, 70) from the remainder of the support for ease of removal and installation of the fixture over a down pipe located in a floor.

Patent EP-0447985-A1 (EP)
Inventor: NATWICK VERNON RUBEN
IPC: A61M5/142
Filed: 1991-03-15
Abstract: A flow detector for use in a volumetric pump to determine if fluid is being displaced by the pump. The volumetric pump (30) includes an inlet cracking valve (46) and an outlet cracking valve (52) disposed on opposite sides of a plunger (48) used to displace fluid by compressing flexible tubing (34). During a pumping segment of a pumping cycle for the volumetric pump, the outlet cracking valve is closed with a cracking force that compresses the flexible tubing until the pressure of the fluid displaced by the plunger exceeds a cracking pressure, at which time the outlet cracking valve opens to enable fluid flow from the volumetric pump. A cracking flexure (182) provides the cracking force. As the outlet cracking valve opens in response to the fluid pressure exceeding the cracking pressure, a flow detector (54) comprising in one preferred embodiment a strain gauge (198) mounted to the cracking flexure responds to the stress generated in the cracking flexure thereby, producing a signal indicative of fluid flow from the volumetric pump. Other types of sensors, including an optical sensor (300), and a linear variable displacement transformer (LVDT) (318) are alternatively used for sensing movement of an outlet valve arm (180) as fluid flows from volumetric pump (30). Since a compressible gaseous fluid in the pumping portion of the flexible tubing does not develop the cracking pressure, the flow detector also provides an indication when a source of liquid (31) for the volumetric pump has run dry.

Abstract: A new single pole circuit breaker (10), intended for use in a multipole circuit breaker, is disclosed. Among other distinctions, upon being tripped, a relatively large torque is imparted to the trip lever (270) of the single pole circuit breaker. This is achieved by interacting the contact bar stop pin (90) on the contact bar (70) of the single pole circuit breaker with a camming surface (285) on the trip lever (270). In addition, when pivotal motion is imparted to the trip lever (270) by an external agent, the trip lever (270) directly engages the toggle mechanism of the circuit breaker, to collapse the toggle mechanism and produce tripping. Moreover, the trip lever (270) has a configuration which permits convenient pivotal mounting to a frame (100).
