Patent number: 7131213Abstract: A fluid level measuring device, also referred to as a dipstick, for measuring the fluid level in a fluid reservoir or tank, such as an oil pan or transmission reservoir in an internal combustion engine. The fluid level measuring device includes a stationary tube onto which lugs can be directly attached. The dipstick assembly includes a fluid level indicator measuring blade attached to an elongated shaft that is molded into a plastic handle assembly. The plastic handle assembly includes a bayonet type locking mechanism for locking the handle to the stationary tube assembly. A compressible seal forms a pressurized seal between the stationary tube assembly and the handle.Type: GrantFiled: January 9, 2003Date of Patent: November 7, 2006Assignee: Orscheln Products LLCInventors: John Michael Dougherty, Steven Marek, Michael H. Schmidt, Karen S. Slabaugh

Patent number: 5092087Abstract: A framework for supporting the glass panels of a skylight is formed of spacedrafters inter-connected by cross bars. The rafters have upstanding side flanges provided with pairs of transverse slots. The ends of the cross bars have pairs of outwardly extending headed members adapted to be engaged in the slots to locate the cross bars. The rafters have a ledge below each side flange upon which the bottom of a cross bar can rest. The cross bars are locked in place on the rafters by extending a pin from the cross bar to engage in a recess on the underside of the side flange. The recesses and ledges in the rafters form parts of gutters. A channel-like gutter is also provided on the sides of the cross bars so that condensation from the cross bars will flow into the channel gutters and then to the gutters in the rafters where it can flow to a collection point.Type: GrantFiled: August 13, 1990Date of Patent: March 3, 1992Assignee: SuperSkyInventors: Charles E. Kane, Michael P. Ryer, Michael H. Schmidt
