Patent CA-2386574-A1 (CA)
Inventor: CORNWELL JAMES P
IPC: A61M39/00
Filed: 2000-09-08
Abstract: L'invention concerne un raccord destiné à retenir un tube cylindrique, qui comprend un corps de raccord traversé par un trou. Ce dernier comporte une cavité principale cylindrique placée à une extrémité du corps à l'intérieur duquel on peut introduire une extrémité du tube. Un épaulement d'arrêt circulaire est placé sur le tube de façon qu'il soit dans la cavité principale une fois le tube installé dans le raccord. Une fermeture, par exemple un jonc de blocage, est installée à l'extrémité libre de la cavité principale maintenant l'épaulement dans ladite cavité. La fermeture est pourvue d'un trou circulaire destiné à recevoir le tube. Un joint étanche élastomère est monté à l'intérieur de la cavité principale entre l'épaulement et la fermeture. Les diamètres intérieur et extérieur du joint étanche permettent de comprimer ce dernier entre le tube et la paroi de la cavité principale. On forme un jeu d'épaulement présélectionné entre l'épaulement d'arrêt et la cavité principale, puis un jeu de fermeture entre le tube et un trou dans la fermeture et, enfin, un jeu axial à l'intérieur de la longueur axiale de la cavité principale, l'épaulement pouvant ainsi bouger librement à l'intérieur de la cavité principal du fait de ces jeux, tout en étant retenu dans la cavité, ce qui permet de réduire la fatigue sur le tube, ce dernier demeurant maintenu par le raccord.

Title: Solar air heating panel
Inventor: MEANEY JAMES
IPC: F24S10/70
Filed: 2002-07-22
Abstract: This invention relates to a Solar Air Heating Panel consisting of a solar collector device having several solar collector modules, each solar collector module having an attachment frame or unit (2) for mounting each solar collector array (3).   Each solar collector array (13) shall consist of tubular columns made up of individual solar collector modules (4), Figure I, attached in longitudinal fashion to farm a solar collector column (12), Figure 2, through which air shall be permitted to pass, either by means of a forced air flow or by natural convection. A solar collector array can be made of several solar collector columns to suit the application (Figure 3) or the desired thermal output. Each solar collector module (4) shall have design features including an opening (5) at the bottom end of the unit and a smaller opening (6) at the top of the unit. Opening (6) at the top of the unit shall be equipped with a fin or fan arrangement (7) which has the effect of creating a turbulent air flow in the solar collector module. Such turbulent air flow increases the ability of the solar collector module to generate heat and improves thermal efficiency over that achieved in previous art. (Example given is Patent 2311287). Walls of the solar collector module (8) shall be thin aluminium coated with high solar absorbent black paint (9) and joined to the solar collector module below and above with a silicon glue (10). The top and bottom of the solar collector column shall be reinforced at the edges (11).   The solar collector array (figure 2) is made up of individual solar collector modules as described in the previous paragraph. Each collector module (4) is attached to form a solar collector column. The example shown in figure 2 is a column of 8 solar collector modules. Similar columns are constructed and completed into an array, in figure 2 there are eleven columns. The larger the size of each column and the more columns there are determines the thermal output of the solar panel. Thermal output increases as the size of the array increases.   A frame is constructed to accommodate each array. The frame consists of sides and end pieces to form a frame on which a transparent sheet made of glass. plastic or other transparent material is attached. The frame has two manifolds, a top manifold (16) and a bottom manifold (17) to which the solar collector array is attached.

Title: Reset lockout and trip for circuit interrupting device
Inventor: STEWART STEPHEN
IPC: H01H83/04
Filed: 2003-04-29
Abstract: This invention relates to a circuit interrupting device having a trip button for disconnecting a Ioad from a source of electrical power and a reset button for resetting the device after it has tripped. When the device is operating in its reset state, a source of electrical power is connected to a load through a set of contacts located within the device.   The contacts are held closed by the spring loaded reset button which holds captive and urges a latch plate to move up to close normally open contacts. In the preferred mechanical trip mechanism, depressing the trip button causes the latch plate to move forward and be released from the reset button. The latch plate, upon being released from the reset button moves down to allow the contacts, which are biased to be normally open, to assume their normally open position. At this time, pressing the reset button initiates an electrical cycle which causes the normally open contacts to close only if the device is operating properly and there is no fault on the Line. The device described is mechanically tripped and electrically reset, and it can be tripped without power being supplied to the device.
