Title: End cap assembly for an alkaline cell
Inventor: SARGEANT SEAN A
IPC: H01M50/197
Filed: 1999-05-13
Abstract: An end cap assembly is disclosed for sealing the open end of a cylindrical alkaline cell housing preferably having a diameter less than the diameter of AAA size cells. The end cap assembly is preferably intended for sealing AAAA (LR61) size cylindrical alkaline cells. The end cap assembly comprises a terminal end cap, an insulating sealing disk underlying said end cap, and an elongated current collector penetrating through an aperture in said insulating sealing disk. At least a portion of the insulating sealing disk lies within the cell housing to seal the open end thereof. The terminal end cap is located outside of said housing. The end cap assembly may include an insulating washer between the terminal end cap and the cell housing. The terminal end cap and the insulating washer are stacked over the peripheral edge of the cell housing at the open end of the cell housing. The insulating washer electrically insulates the terminal end cap from the cell housing. The insulating sealing disk has an integrally formed rupturable membrane therein. The membrane ruptures when gas pressure within the cell exceeds a predetermined level.

Title: Cleaning system having collapsible cartridge
Inventor: SCANNAPIECO GUSTAVE J
IPC: A47K11/10
Filed: 1989-08-02
Abstract: A cleaning system utilizing a hollow bodied, disposable dispensing package comprising a storage chamber and integral dispensing chamber. The package is connected to the system handle via a conical protrusion on the package closure. An orifice separating the two chambers is provided with a movable, inlet clapper valve, the dispensing chamber outlet orifice being normally closed by a spring urged valve. Deformation of the elastic walls of the bellows shaped dispensing chamber penses a discrete amount of liquid to the system handle with out relying on gravity. Compression of the dispensing chamber reduces the volume thereof, closes the inlet clapper valve, and opens the outlet valve to dispense the product. The conically shaped storage chamber provides for ready pumping and evacuation of cleaning fluid therefrom, the flexible walls collapsing inward as a result of the vacuum created by the decompression of the dispensing chamber. A stiffened side wall in the form of a label or longitudinal ribs further controls the collapse of the storage chamber.

Title: Aligning running conveyor belts
Inventor: KUHNERT EGBERT
IPC: B65G39/16
Filed: 1985-10-28
Abstract: Disclosed is a control device and process for aligning, in the running direction, an endless belt. The device comprises a lifting cylinder with a ram which is retracted or extended as a result of switching signals received from microswitches via a control circuit. The device further includes a pivotal wing which is pivoted by the extending ram in the running direction A of the belt, and a deflecting roller having an axle, the ends of which are mounted in the eyeparts of eyebolts. During pivoting, the wing presses one eyebolt, resting at its bolt end against the front side of the wing, in the running direction A of the belt. The axle, mounted at its axle end, with a certain play in the eyepart of the other positionally fixed eyebolt, is pivoted as a result. As soon as the belt runs out of alignment, that is to say deviates from the running direction A, one of the belt edges actuates the associated microswitch and consequently the lifting cylinder. As a result of the pivoting of the axle of the deflecting roller, the non-aligned running of the belt is constantly counteracted and the belt is deflected counter to the nonaligned direction until it actuates the other microswitch.

Title: Airless paint sprayer outlet check valve
Inventor: CONASTER ROGER
IPC: F04B11/00
Filed: 1996-03-25
Abstract: An airless paint sprayer includes an outlet check valve assembly having a dual spring configuration which allows for increased fluid flow through the valve without diminishing response time of the valve or the priming operations of the system. One of the springs is not engaged when the valve is closed and the other spring has a much lower spring rate and biases the valve toward a closed configuration when the valve is open, closed, and all positions therebetween.

Patent AU-6927491-A (AU)
Title: Boat
IPC: B63B19/08
Filed: 1991-01-10
Abstract: The boat has a flap (1) forming a part of its V- or spoon-shaped bow and being unfoldable therefrom. This flap is supported by means of projections (9a,9b) arranged on both of its sides on swivel joints (13a,13b) set back into the inside of the boat with respect to the inner wall of the bow. Upon pivoting the flap (1) out of the bow opening (15), the flap is swung away from the bow wall portion with the uncovering of an interspace (2) between the flap and the bow wall portion which latter lies underneath the bow opening (15). The flap outside wall can be urged underneath the surface of the water and can be fixed in its position. The flap (1) is designed as a buoyant member, and when serving as a working or recreational platform, etc., can be folded back into the bow of the boat in such a way that the hydro- and aerodynamic properties as well as the esthetic appearance of the bow are not impaired. The boat according to this invention can thus be utilized, without restriction of its full functional ability, as a rescue boat, salvage boat, pleasure boat, and speedboat. The configuration of the flap (1) acting as a buoyant member makes its use possible without impairing the stability of the boat; in the unfolded condition, this configuration even enhances the capsizing stability of the boat. Furthermore, the design of the boat hull is such that the stern engines, when a curve is traversed, do not leave the water (4), and the boat exhibits a very high capsizing stability.
