  • Patent number: 6935463
    Abstract: A ladder safety support for use with an existing ladder is disclosed. The support includes an attachment assembly for removable connection to the lower end of the ladder and one of two interchangeable foot assemblies for supporting the ladder on a surface. The first foot assembly provides a surface-penetrating stake having a lower tapered section and presenting a pointed tip and a threaded portion for removably attaching the stake to the assembly. The second foot assembly is similarly removable and provides a surface-engaging pad.

  • Patent number: 6901611
    Abstract: A head fitting for a bathtub waste water drainage system is disclosed. The head fitting simplifies leak testing in bathtub waste water drainage system and eliminates the need for a separate test cap and fastening hardware for leak testing. The head fitting includes an internal partition wall and a breakout test plug molded as an integral part of the head fitting. The internal partition wall and breakout test plug initially hermetically seal the flow passage of the head fitting for leak testing the drainage system. The test plug can be broken out from the internal partition wall to open the flow passage after leak testing and without damaging the head fitting. The test plug forms part of the partition wall defined by an annular groove in the partition wall. The groove forms an annular band of relatively thin material (fracture band) that integrally connects the test plug to the partition wall, but allows the test plug to be forcefully separated from the partition wall.

  • Patent number: 5823235
    Abstract: A safety shut-off system especially adapted for propane delivery trucks and the like utilizes a pressure differential switch to immediately close the outlet valve of the cargo tank in the event that the differential between an initial reference pressure in the system and the current delivery pressure becomes high enough. When the delivery process is started, both sides of the pressure differential switch are simultaneously exposed to the delivery pressure so that the switch remains in a standby condition. As the delivery pressure becomes stabilized, a timer closes a trapping valve on the high pressure side of the pressure differential switch, trapping a quantity of fluid against the high pressure side of the switch to comprise a reference pressure.
