Patent number: 8061687Abstract: A plug valve assembly having an inlet and an outlet comprises a housing including a bore extending through the housing between the inlet and the outlet and a cavity intersecting the bore, a plug mounted in the cavity for rotation between first and second positions. In the first position an orifice extending through the plug is aligned axially with the bore of housing to allow fluid to flow from the inlet to the outlet and in the second position fluid is prevented from flowing from the inlet to the outlet. Seals are located in the cavity between the plug and an inner surface of said cavity and a plug retaining member is releasably attachable to the housing. A surface of the plug retaining member limits upward movement of the plug in the housing. The housing includes a reinforcement collar extending around the inner surface of the cavity.Type: GrantFiled: August 7, 2008Date of Patent: November 22, 2011Inventor: Richard James Robert Anderson

Patent number: 7469733Abstract: A tyre for a vehicle wheel comprising two sidewalls, a tread, beads, the sidewall intended to be positioned on the interior side of the vehicle being shorter than that intended to be positioned on the exterior side of the vehicle, a reinforcement structure extending between the beads and maintained in said beads by anchoring zones, each of the beads comprising a specific and distinct arrangement of the anchoring zone thereof, such that the anchoring zone of the bead intended to be positioned on the exterior side of the vehicle exhibits a greater anchoring capacity than the anchoring zone of the bead intended to be on the interior side of the vehicle. The internal and external anchoring zones are thus arranged in such a manner as to produce, in operation, a rim clamping load which is substantially identical on each side.Type: GrantFiled: March 16, 2006Date of Patent: December 30, 2008Assignee: Michelin Recherche Et Technique S.A.Inventors: Bernard Guerinon, James Robert Anderson, David Jardine, Jean-Jacques Drieux

Patent number: 7051779Abstract: A tire comprising two sidewalls, beads, a reinforcement structure extending radially from each of the beads towards the crown zone, at least one of said beads comprising: a bead seat of inverted type; an anchoring zone for the reinforcement structure in said bead, comprising an arrangement of circumferential cords, a bonding mix being arranged between the circumferential cords and the reinforcement structure, said bonding mix of the anchoring zone having a elasticity modulus at a deformation of 10% of less than 20 MPa and preferably between 10 and 20 MPa; an axially outer zone arranged in the zone of the bead; a bearing zone for said bead. The anchoring rubber mix makes it possible, in spite of its rigidity which is very much less than what was advocated previously, to retain very satisfactory endurance properties.Type: GrantFiled: May 18, 2005Date of Patent: May 30, 2006Assignee: Michelin Recherche et Technique S.A.Inventors: Bernard Guerinon, Jean-Jacques Drieux, James Robert Anderson, David Jardine

Patent number: 5849333Abstract: A delaminated talc has a plurality of high aspect ratio, smooth surface particles. The aspect ratio of the particles is determined by dividing their extent along an upper surface thereof by their thickness. The upper surface is substantially parallel to the lamellar interface direction and the thickness is measured perpendicularly to the interface direction. The upper, lower and side surfaces of the particles are smooth, lacking acute angularity and staircase effect which give rise to increased coefficient of friction and light scattering. The talc is especially suitable in cosmetic and pharmacologic preparations due to its high degree of transparency, skin adhesiveness, lubricity and spreadability.Type: GrantFiled: April 4, 1995Date of Patent: December 15, 1998Assignee: American Westmin, Inc.Inventors: Mary Ann Nordhauser, James Robert Anderson
