Publication number: 20110168182Abstract: A mask and harness system for use in providing breathing oxygen and protection from pollutants for the eyes and respiratory system as might be encountered in high altitude aviation environments. In one preferred embodiment, the mask system has a face seal, a soft flexible lens, a pneumatically-actuated harness, and a regulator with microphone to control the flow of oxygen and to facilitate communications in aircraft flight decks and other aircraft compartments. The system is designed for required five-second donning with one hand and because of the flexible lens, is capable of storage in the relatively preferred on crowded flight decks. It is connected to an oxygen source and, optionally, with aircraft communications. The regulator controls the flow rate of oxygen to the wearer based on altitude and physiological requirements. The regulator includes a valve for purging the condensation-prone moist gases from the lens area and provides positive pressure in the mask.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 31, 2007Publication date: July 14, 2011Applicant: BE INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY, INC.Inventors: Thomas K. McDonald, Gary R. Hannah, Randy G. Stratman, Gregory R. Jones

Patent number: 4480342Abstract: The present invention provides a passive dispenser having dual sections for use in a toilet tank in which a disinfectant solution to be dispensed is stored in one section and substantially isolated from the water in the toilet tank, the section comprising a product chamber having a venting means and a refill/discharge pathway. The refill/discharge pathway is vented to the atmosphere and has an inclined conduit extending downwardly from the top portion of the pathway to the product chamber. Hydrostatic head obtained by use of refill/discharge pathway venting conduit in conjunction with the inclined conduit retards the outflow of solution from said product chamber during quiescent periods. Constriction means in the refill/discharge pathway venting conduit is preferred to provide turbulence during the refill cycle. In the other section of the dispenser, a soluble composition comprising a detergent, deodorant or other additive materials is stored.Type: GrantFiled: January 14, 1983Date of Patent: November 6, 1984Assignee: The Drackett CompanyInventor: Gregory R.

Patent number: 4375109Abstract: The present invention provides a passive dispenser for use in a toilet tank in which the solution to be dispensed is isolated from the water in the toilet tank, the dispenser comprising a product chamber having a venting means and a refill/discharge pathway which are held in fluid communication by an inclined conduit. Hydrostatic head obtained by use of the venting conduit in conjunction with the inclined conduit is utilized to prevent the solution from flowing out of the product chamber during quiescent periods. Constriction means in the venting conduit are preferred to modify equilibrium hydraulic forces during the flush/refill cycles.Type: GrantFiled: February 22, 1982Date of Patent: March 1, 1983Assignee: The Drackett CompanyInventor: Gregory R.
