Patent number: 10975981Abstract: A fluid collection and disposal device for a transfer cart used for transporting wet articles is comprised of a tray disposed below articles to be transported on a transfer cart. The tray has a drain opening. A conduit extends from the drain opening to an exterior side of the transfer cart. A valve assembly is connected to the conduit for controlling fluid flow through the conduit. The valve assembly is comprised of a valve element moveable between a closed, first position restricting flow of fluid through the conduit and an opened, second position allowing flow of fluid through the conduit. An actuator is provided for moving the valve element from the closed position to the open position. The actuator is moveable by physical engagement with an external stop.Type: GrantFiled: April 16, 2019Date of Patent: April 13, 2021Assignee: STERIS Inc.Inventors: Hugo St-Jean, Louis-Phillipe Gaudreau, Xavier Elie-Dit-Cosaque, Jaime Estevez, Luc Tremblay

Patent number: 6199428Abstract: A fluid level measuring device for measuring a fluid filling level in a container contains a float disposed in the container and a magnet disposed in the container. The magnet is coupled to the float in terms of movement and, in the event of a change in the fluid filling level, executes a movement that corresponds to a change in fluid level. A magnetic field sensor is disposed in a zone of influence of a magnetic field generated by the magnet and outputs an electrical signal which is representative of a height of the fluid level.Type: GrantFiled: September 22, 1999Date of Patent: March 13, 2001Assignee: Siemens AktiengesellschaftInventors: Jaime Estevez-Garcia, Francesco Volpe
