Patent number: 11382437Abstract: A rotatable clip-on seat for attachment adjacent an edge of a tabletop comprising a main frame supporting a seat for a child and grip arms extending distally from the seat for positioning atop the table. Moveable clamping arms connect to the main frame and are rotatable about a longitudinal axis between folded and unfolded orientations. When unfolded, the clamping arms extend downwardly from the main frame and forwardly, generally parallel to the grip arms on the underside of the tabletop opposite of the grip arms. User-adjustable clamps connected to the clamping arms include upwardly extendable members to engage the underside of the table to secure the seat frame to the tabletop. The clamps are pivotable about a clamp axis which is parallel to the longitudinal axis to ease installation on the tabletop and to allow frame folding for storage which positions the clamping arms and clamps generally between the grip arms.Type: GrantFiled: August 3, 2021Date of Patent: July 12, 2022Assignee: Artsana USA, Inc.Inventors: Michael L. Longenecker, Raymond Evan Good, Stephen J. Wood

Patent number: 10321769Abstract: A foldable seat frame for attachment to a table surface for supporting a young child. The frame comprises a pivotally a pair of members coupled in an X-shape. Contact members are provided on adjacent opposing ends of the frame members on a first side of the pivot connection configured for adjacent contact with top and bottom surfaces of the table. Lower contact members positioned adjacent to the bottom surface are movable between a first position generally parallel to the table surface and second position slightly over-center of a generally perpendicular alignment to the table surface. When the lower contact members are in the first position, the seat frame may be easily detached from a table having downardly extending a peripheral skirt structure without requiring large pivoting movement of the frame. When the lower contact members are in the second position, they extend upwardly toward the lower table surface to reduce the degree of frame pivoting movement necessary to clamp the frame to the table.Type: GrantFiled: November 17, 2017Date of Patent: June 18, 2019Inventors: Michael L. Longenecker, Stephen J. Wood

Patent number: 6505518Abstract: A process for activating an oscillator serving to oscillate a Coriolis line of a Coriolis mass flowmeter for moving fluids, and of a power supply circuit system for an oscillator of a mass flowmeter for moving fluids operating by the Coriolis principle. The oscillator is supplied a pulse-width-modulated pulsed sinusoidal signal. The resulting heat-loss reduction in an amplifier circuit leads to a better utilization of the energy available for supplying the oscillator.Type: GrantFiled: August 11, 2000Date of Patent: January 14, 2003Assignee: Krohne AGInventors: Edward P. Jukes, Stephen J. Wood

Patent number: 6135008Abstract: A piston assembly including a piston having a work surface, a sidewall extending from the work surface, and ports in the sidewall. The piston assembly also includes a flexible lubricant-scraping ring clamped to the piston between the work surface and the ports, with the lubricant-scraping ring having an outer edge extending outwardly beyond the sidewall.Type: GrantFiled: March 16, 1998Date of Patent: October 24, 2000Assignee: Haldex Brake CorporationInventors: Thomas R. Soupal, Stephen J. Wood

Patent number: 6106247Abstract: A scroll-type fluid displacement apparatus including at least two scroll members, with each scroll member having a plate and spiral involute extending from the plate. The spiral involutes mesh to define fluid voids between the scroll members that become smaller towards the center of the scroll members. The apparatus also includes an eccentric crank mechanism having an elongated shaft with an eccentric portion. The elongated shaft is connected at one end to a motor and at another end to a machine, while the eccentric portion is rotatably received by one of the scroll members such that the scroll members will orbit with respect to one another as the shaft is turned by the motor. The apparatus also includes at least one eccentric guide for assisting the eccentric crank mechanism in retaining the scroll members in an orbiting relationship.Type: GrantFiled: March 18, 1998Date of Patent: August 22, 2000Assignee: Haldex Brake CorporationInventor: Stephen J.

Patent number: 5280666Abstract: A squeegee apparatus for a vacuum cleaner system. The apparatus includes a main body portion having an integrally formed neck portion operable to releasably connect to a wand of the vacuum cleaner system. The main body portion forms a manifold and includes a lower end portion to which a squeegee member is releasably secured. The squeegee member includes a central portion having a pair of longitudinally parallel extending bumper portions, with the bumper portions each including saw tooth-shaped surfaces. The squeegee blade also depends downwardly from the central portion and outwardly of the bumper portions. The central portion also includes first and second pluralities of ports disposed on opposite sides of the squeegee blade, with one or the other of the pluralities of ports being alternately blocked off during use as the squeegee blade flexes into abutting contact with one or the other of the bumper portions while being moved back and forth over a work surface.Type: GrantFiled: June 25, 1992Date of Patent: January 25, 1994Assignee: Rexair, Inc.Inventors: Stephen J.

Patent number: 5109568Abstract: A handle assembly for securing a vacuum hose to an intake nozzle of a vacuum cleaner system. A handle housing having first and second mating handle housing sections and a plurality of oppositely facing ridges and oppositely facing grooved portions protruding from inner surfaces of the housing sections is adapted to house a ribbed end portion of a vacuum hose and an elbow section having a shoulder portion protruding therefrom. The ridges and grooved portions are adapted to abuttingly engage the ribbed end portion of the vacuum hose and the shoulder portion of the elbow section respectively when the first and second handle housing sections are matingly engaged, to thereby prevent clockwise or counter-clockwise rotation of the vacuum hose as the handle assembly is articulated into various positions during use. The vacuum hose further includes a relatively smooth inner surface which is operable to slide over a portion of the elbow section housed within the handle assembly housing.Type: GrantFiled: June 15, 1990Date of Patent: May 5, 1992Assignee: Rexair, Inc.Inventors: Dean R. Rohn, Steven R. Selewski, Stephen J. Wood, Craig R. Cummins
