Patent number: 10850144Abstract: A thermal trigger assembly for remote mechanical actuation of another fire protection system component includes an activation component with a distal base, a distal movable member, a proximal base, a proximal movable member, and a bias member biasing the proximal movable member from a preactivation position to an activated position located proximally of the preactivation position. A thermally responsive element is retained by the distal base, loses structural integrity under occurrence of a predetermined thermodynamic condition, and thereby allows the distal movable member to move from a preactivation position to an activated position with respect to the distal base. A flexible connector connects the proximal movable member to the distal movable member. Upon the loss of structural integrity by the thermally responsive element, a biasing force from the bias member causes a movement of the proximal movable member from the preactivation position to the activated position.Type: GrantFiled: June 14, 2017Date of Patent: December 1, 2020Assignee: VICTAULIC COMPANYInventors: Stephen J.

Patent number: 10842090Abstract: A drip emitter is provided for delivering irrigation water from a supply tube to an emitter outlet at a reduced and relatively constant flow rate. Water enters the emitter through a first inlet and proceeds into a first chamber. When the water pressure is above a predetermined level, a one-directional valve opens to allow fluid flow past the first chamber, through a tortuous path flow channel, and through an emitter outlet. A second inlet is used to compensate for water pressure fluctuations in the supply tube to maintain output flow at a relatively constant rate. Water enters the second inlet and presses a flexible diaphragm toward a water metering surface to provide pressure-dependent control of the output flow. A copper member is mounted to the emitter over the emitter outlet to prevent plant root intrusion into the emitter outlet.Type: GrantFiled: August 1, 2017Date of Patent: November 24, 2020Assignee: Rain Bird CorporationInventors: Rick Mavrakis, Brian Pope, Samir Shah, Christopher Leland O'Neal, David R.

Patent number: 10814837Abstract: An object of the present invention is to suppress variations in shape of flow channels to have an enlarged flow channel. When an attachment main body 51 of a lid member 50 is attached to a recessed attachment part 46 of a main body member 40, a pair of flange parts 52 provided to the lid member 50 abuts on the main body member 40. Therefore, the insertion amount of the attachment main body 51 into the recessed attachment part 46 in each product can be maintained approximately constant while enlarging a main channel MC and a pair of sub channels SS1 and SS2, which are formed by the main body member 40 and the lid member 50, and variations in shape of these flow channels can be reliably suppress.Type: GrantFiled: July 17, 2014Date of Patent: October 27, 2020Assignee: Mitsuba CorporationInventors: Takao Umezawa, Atsushi Otani, Hiroshi Yokoyama
