Inventor: ST GERMAIN DENIS
IPC: G01N3/56
Filed: 2006-05-19
Abstract: A pre-failure warning indicator is provided for use with a sling. The pre-failure warning indicator triggers at a point that is predictable within a relatively narrow range, thereby increasing the possibility that a damaged sling is removed from use. The pre-failure warning indicator includes a dedicated strand of materi al that is placed in close proximity to the load-bearing core yarns of the sling but remains separate and independent from the core yarns; the ends of the dedicated stra nd are connected via a sacrificial "ring." A warning fiber having an end that is visible to operators/riggers works in conjunction with the sacrificial strand and the ring. The ring is designed to fail when the sling is subjected to a specifically chose n condition (e.g., excessive weight). The failure of the ring causes the warning fiber t o withdraw from the rigger's view thereby warning the rigger that the sling was subject ed to the specifically chosen condition and may be damaged.

Title: Stub out fluid quick connector with shut off valve interface
Inventor: PIERSON ERIK E
IPC: F16K51/00
Filed: 2005-08-03
Abstract: A fluid quick connector with a shut off valve interface is mountable on a first endform, such as a building plumbing stub out. The quick connector carries a retainer at an opposite end for releasable latching of a second fluid operative element to the stub out. An internally movable shut off valve is carried in the quick connector housing and is normally biased to a fluid blocking position. Insertion of a second endform through the second end of the quick connector housing overcomes the biasing force on the valve and moves the valve to an open fluid flow position allowing fluid flow between the stub out and the second endform.
