  • Patent number: 5771922
    Abstract: The present invention, in one embodiment, teaches a flow restrictor which accomplishes within a single unitary integral device cyclonic separation of larger, heavier solids from lighter smaller solids; collection of retained solids in a relatively large collection chamber; straining of certain solids to further protect the device from plugging; and flushing a fluid, e.g. the primary flow stream, through the device to facilitate removal of collected solids.In one embodiment a device according to this invention has a main body with a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet. Fluid flowing in through the inlet encounters a vaned end of a hollow mandrel with one or more vanes or a mandrel with a deflector thereon or both which induce turbulent flow in the fluid and directs solids entrained therein away from the mandrel to a solids collection area or chamber within the main body.

  • Patent number: 5158492
    Abstract: An automotive doll that is activated by light. The doll has at least two moving parts, preferably the head, arms and torso of a girl like figure. Within the torso of the doll is a motor that is connected to a plurality of gears and cams that are attached to the moving parts. The motor is preferably powered by batteries that are connected to a light sensor attached to the doll. The sensor switches on the motor when light is directed toward the sensor. When the motor is activated, the torso, arms and head all move relative to each other. The parts move through predetermined cycles, such that the head, arms and torso rotate back and forth between two positions. The drive mechanism is constructed and arranged so that each moving part rotates through a different cycle. Such an arrangement creates a doll that can move into an almost infinite variety of positions, greatly reducing the mechanical appearance of the toy.
