Abstract: A hinge for a door pivotally mounted on a cabinet is provided with a switch for activating an electrical circuit within the cabinet. The switch has a reed sensor mounted within a base of the hinge for activating the electrical circuit and a magnetic actuator affixed to a pivot pin of the hinge for moving relative to the reed sensor to activate the reed sensor between a normally open position deactivating the electrical circuit when the door is closed and a closed position activating the electrical circuit when the door is open.

Abstract: The LED luminaire is constructed with an LED/driver printed circuit board mounted directly on a floor of the heat sink assembly. By mounting the LED/driver printed circuit board directly in and on the heat sink assembly, the heat imposed on the LED/driver printed circuit board during use in a canopy hood over a cooking surface is transferred directly to the heat sink assembly for dissipation.

Abstract: The electronic hinge has a female electrical receptacle assembly mounted in a holding bracket and a male receptacle assembly mounted in and extending from a wire connecting cam of a hollow cam sub-assembly mounted in a hub of a flange assembly.

Abstract: The valve is threaded onto the pot filler faucet and is opened and closed by turning of the hand wheel secured to the nozzle either clockwise or counter-clockwise. The ceramic valve discs within the valve have pairs of passages that provide either opening or closing of the valve for each 90° turn of the hand wheel. A spring actuated plunger between the valve body and the rotatable nozzle provides an audible sound when moved into a recess in a flange of the nozzle.

Abstract: The electronic hinge has a flexible electrical cable that extends through an abutment of a support bracket, a hollow wire transfer pin mounted in the abutment, a wire transfer hub rotatably mounted on the wire transfer pin and the base of a wire transfer bracket. A spring assembly with a coiled torsion spring is provided for biasing the wire transfer bracket from an open position back to a closed position.

Abstract: The telescoping adjustable leg comprises a tubular housing, a tubular toe, a cylindrical toe, a base and an externally threaded rod. The adjustable leg 10 is expandable from a fully retracted position to a fully extended position by rotation of the housing and cylindrical toe relative to the tubular toe.

Abstract: In order to front mount the faucet assembly on the sink, the connectors that are secured to the inlet ports are passed through enlarged openings in the splash board and the body of the faucet assembly is secured to the splash board via brackets. After positioning gaskets in place, the housing is moved over the body and dropped into place with the externally threaded ends of the cylindrical chambers and outlet port protruding through three circular openings in the housing.

Abstract: The valve has a pair of mutually rotatable ceramic valve bodies within the bonnet that cooperate to allow a flow of water in one relative position and to block a flow of water in a second relative position. One valve body is engaged by the valve stem to rotate therewith while the second valve body is held fixed within the bonnet via radial projections that fit into recesses in the bonnet. An elastomeric ring of square cross-section is squeezed against the non-rotatable valve body by a spiral retaining ring that is positioned in a circumferential groove in the bonnet.

Abstract: The adjustable equipment leg comprises a housing assembly for mounting within a piece of equipment and a toe assembly mounted on the housing assembly for vertical adjustment for raising and lowering the piece of equipment. The piece of equipment is constructed with a floor and the housing assembly is disposed on the floor within the piece of equipment thereby being hidden from view.

Abstract: The condensate evaporator has a pan for collecting condensate and a heating element that is integral with the pan. The heating element includes a U-shaped copper tube and an electrically conductive wire that extends through the tube with each end thereof extending from the tube for connection to an electrical circuit.

Abstract: The hinge assembly comprises a housing for mounting on a cabinet and a post member for mounting on a door and for rotation relative to the housing. A first electrical contact is mounted within the housing for connection to a source of electrical power in the cabinet and a second electrical contact is disposed in the post in electrical contact with the first contact for connection to an electrical appliance in the door. In one embodiment, the electrical contacts rotate relative to each other as the post member pivots on the housing while in other embodiments; the electrical contacts remain stationary relative to each other as the post member pivots on the housing.

Abstract: The vent port employs a pair of mated housing parts that define a space for two flap valves. Each flap valve is formed of an aluminum bracket with an aperture for the passage of air and a silicone flap that closes over the aperture. The flap valves are oriented so that gravity enhances the closing of the flaps. Resistors are mounted on the brackets to heat the brackets at a low wattage. In one embodiment, the flap valves are vertically arranged over each other. In another embodiment, the flap valves are horizontally disposed in criss-crossing relation.

Abstract: The hinge assembly comprises a housing for mounting on a cabinet and a post member for mounting on a door and for rotation relative to the housing. A first electrical contact is mounted within the housing for connection to a source of electrical power in the cabinet and a second electrical contact is disposed in the post in electrical contact with the first contact for connection to an electrical appliance in the door. In one embodiment, the electrical contacts rotate relative to each other as the post member pivots on the housing while in other embodiments; the electrical contacts remain stationary relative to each other as the post member pivots on the housing.

Abstract: The spray head for a pre-rinse assembly includes a discharge cover having a plurality of ports for discharging water and a diffuser within discharge cover having a circumferential wall with at least one slot for directing a jet of water onto the fins of a rotatable impeller within the diffuser. The impeller has a plurality of tabs disposed relative to the ports whereby a respective tab momentarily covers a respective port to prevent passage of water therethrough during rotation of said impeller thereby effecting a pulsating stream of water through a respective port.
