Patent number: 11040895Abstract: A grease trap for separating waste from waste water that includes grey water and FOG includes a tank having a bottom and an interior volume. An inlet invert in the tank has a discharge end for discharging waste water into the tank, and an outlet invert in the tank has a drain end for removing grey water from the tank. A first baffle across the interior volume below the discharge of the inlet invert and above the drain end of the outlet invert has a hole allowing grey water to descend through the hole to a path under the first baffle to the drain end of the outlet invert. A second baffle across the interior volume above the discharge of the inlet invert has a hole allowing FOG to float through the hole in the second baffle to collect above the second baffle.Type: GrantFiled: October 7, 2019Date of Patent: June 22, 2021Assignee: Thermaco, IncorporatedInventors: Francisco Javier Gonzalez, Zachary Michael Rubeor, William Charles Batten, Bruce W.

Patent number: 8328031Abstract: Intended to prevent the contents of a bottle from being consumed by unauthorized people, both in the case of alcoholic beverages and other hazardous liquids, it consists of a cap itself (47), a sort of upside-down bowl, with a tubular axial prolongation and (46) to guide the joining of the base body onto the pouring neck (44). It attaches to the bottle, the said bowl (47) resting its mouth on a group of outer numbered wheels (50), which in turn rest below on a stopper-bearing (54) that is crossed by a hook (57) resting in turn on the inner sets of wheels (49), which can be moved against the hook (57) by a spring (61). These inner wheels (49) have notches for joining radial plugs (48), notches that are conveniently placed with respect to said plugs to allow the detaching of the cap itself and the consequent opening of the bottle.Type: GrantFiled: June 10, 2008Date of Patent: December 11, 2012Inventors: Francisco Javier González Sánchez, Jesus Sánchez Diaz

Patent number: 8069965Abstract: Section insulator for rigid catenary which has a dual functionality, since it can exercise the functions both of conventional section insulator and of neutral section insulator, configured so that it maintains a mechanical continuity which allows the smooth passage of the pantograph, minimizing the requirement for adjustment and maintenance. The insulator basically comprises a pair of conductor rail segments (2) between which is disposed a single central shoe (1) obliquely disposed with respect to the direction of the catenary, a pair of spark wires (9) wherein the electric field is broken and a series of strips (8) disposed on said central shoe (1) which, together with a bridging cable which extends from them to the conductor rail segment (2), enables bridging the wire conductor of the insulator (3) when one want to maintain the power supply to the pantograph.Type: GrantFiled: August 14, 2006Date of Patent: December 6, 2011Assignee: Metro de Madrid, S.A.Inventors: Manuel Melis Maynar, Ildefonso De Matias Jimenez, Francisco Javier Gonzalez Fernandez, Miguel Alejandro Moya Lopez-Duque, Rogelio Sanchez Pardias, Jorge Francisco Blanquer Jaraiz, Felipe Carmona Pinto, Carlos Vera Alvarez, Maria Carmen Borbano Sánchez, legal representative, Berta Suarez Esteban, Jennifer Paulin
