Patent number: 10058798Abstract: An outlet well cover for use in an in-line grease interceptor is disclosed. The outlet well cover is fitted onto a hollow well extending upwardly from the bottom of the grease interceptor tank, and having an open top. The outlet well cover has at least one, and preferably two arms that extend outwards and define water passageways from the ends of the arms to the middle of the well. Water inflow openings at the ends of the arms allow clarified water to flow into the covered hollow well. The water inflow openings face generally downward to limit the amount of floating FOG material that can be drawn in through the openings. The well cover may also include a central bore adapted to receive a standard sized pipe. The pipe can be connected to an outlet from the tank.Type: GrantFiled: October 5, 2015Date of Patent: August 28, 2018Assignee: Canplas Industries Ltd.Inventors: Andrew Bird, Rick Parkinson, Timothy James Poupore, Michael F.

Patent number: 8069621Abstract: A ridge ventilator for covering an open ridge of a roof while promoting ventilation of a space beneath the roof. The ridge ventilator has a sectional body having a first side and a second side, a number of partitions extending across said body between said sides, as well as a first end and a second end. The vent body has a width between said sides to permit said body to be laid over and cover an open ridge in a roof formed at the peak. The body also includes a recessed middle portion in a top face of the body, the recess being sized and shaped to accommodate roofing cap shingles. The body also includes opposed raised and curved, in side view, air foil side sections; which have a grill to permit air to pass therethrough between a space beneath said roof and the outside, the air foil side sections being sized and shaped to create, in a wind passing over the air foil sections, a low pressure adjacent to the grill to facilitate drawing air out of the space.Type: GrantFiled: August 16, 2006Date of Patent: December 6, 2011Assignee: Canplas Industries Ltd.Inventors: James Mantyla, James H.
