Patent CA-2602058-A1 (CA)
Inventor: GREEN BRADFORD JASON
IPC: A47J37/07
Filed: 2007-09-20
Abstract: The invention provides a safety system to be used on barbeque appliances that use electronic ignition, push button ignition or/and rotary ignition systems(s), that prevents the operator of the appliance from igniting the appliance when the lid and/or cover is in the closed position. When the lid and/or cover is in the closed position, a magnetic field is created through "magnetic medium(s)", in which a safety pin is drawn into the activated/safety on position within the electronic ignition, push button ignition or/and rotary ignition system(s), which prevents the operator of the appliance from successfully depressing and/or rotating the ignition system. When the lid and/or cover is in the open position, this breaks the magnetic field through the "magnetic medium(s)", and the safety pin is released by the absence of the magnetic field, and the operator of the appliance can successfully depress and/or rotate the ignition system.

Abstract: Apparatus to enhance performance of sequentially-deployable lip seal assemblies. In certain embodiments, biasing members to ensure deployment of sequentially deployable lip seals include an o-ring mounted within a cartridge or housing of one or more yet-to-be-deployed lip seals, with the o-ring disposed immediately adjacent one of the lip seals. When a barrier member or deployment sleeve is interposed between the one or more yet-to-be- deployed lip seals and a shaft, such as a rotating and/or reciprocating shaft of a stuffing box, the o-ring biases the lip seal toward the outside diameter of the shaft. Upon movement of the barrier member or deployment sleeve to a position exposing the lip seal to the shaft, the o-ring urges the lip seal into engagement with the outside diameter of the shaft. A pressurized fluid may be employed between the housing and the o-rings. Flush paths, multi-part housings, and baffle-type housings are also disclosed.
