Title: Straw with leakage prevention
Inventor: STRIBLING ROBERT PATTON
IPC: A47G21/18
Filed: 2005-01-10
Granted: 2012-05-15
Abstract: A flexible check valve is introduced within a fluid path for leakage protection. The flexible check valve (300) can be a duckbill/crossbill valve comprising multiple flexible members (306) that restrict the flow of fluid in a tubular member. The flexible check valve is preferably used in conjunction with drinking straw (100) to prevent liquid from exiting a container such as drink box (200). Preferably, the flexible check valve is crossbill valve (400) that is attached using adapter (900). Liquid is designed to only flow through when an external compressive force (405) (e.g. users fingers or lips) is applied to the valve. When force is no longer applied to the valve section, the valve returns to its normally closed position and fluid is wholly or substantially prevented from exiting.

If the receiver unit (10) is located within the range (R) of the activation signal and receives the activation signal the receiver unit (10) is activated. Subsequently, the access code is transmitted from the communications unit (20) to the receiver unit (10). After a successful check of the access code by the receiver unit (10) the access is freed. In a second variant of the method the activation signal is transmitted by the receiver unit (10) within a predetermined range (R). If the communications unit (20) is located within the range (R) of the activation signal and receives the activation signal the receiver unit (10) is activated. The access code is subsequently transmitted from the communications unit (20) to the receiver unit (10) and after a successful check of the access code by the receiver unit (10) the access is freed.

Abstract: Electrical components projecting outwardly from the storage tank portion of an electric water heater are shielded from foam insulation material being injected into an insulation space between the tank and an outer jacket portion of the water heater by a hollow, open sided foam dam structure extending through a jacket opening and circumscribing the electrical components. Force exerting projections on the dam engage the interior side surface of the jacket and forcibly hold the inner side of the dam structure in sealing engagement with the tank. The projections also hold an outer side peripheral lip of the dam in a an outwardly and resiliently deflected orientation in which it is sealingly pressed inwardly against the outer side surface of the jacket around the periphery of the opening therein to prevent injected foam from being forced outwardly through the jacket opening.
