  • Patent number: 5746858
    Abstract: A trim strip of "T" shaped cross-section having an appendage on the stem. The appendage extends outwardly and downwardly in cross-section away from the top of the "T". The purpose of the appendage is to clear old adhesive debris and any new adhesive from the clearance space between the windshield and the car body. The trim strip is retained in place by adhesive strips applied to one or both undersides of the top of the "T" which grip the windshield or car body or both. The "T" trim strip with the downwardly canted appendage is specifically directed to the aftermarket windshield replacement market but may be used in original equipment installations.

  • Patent number: 5054453
    Abstract: A method and on board apparatus to recycle gasoline vapor emissions from the head space of a motor vehicle gasoline tank during refueling and operation of the vehicle. The apparatus comprises a canister to collect and store gasoline vapor from the head space and a vapor fan and sparger combination to retrieve vapor driven from the canister during a heating cycle and to dissolve the vapor in the liquid gasoline in the tank. The canister includes an adsorbent to separate the vapor from air and a vent valve to release air from the canister. Inside the canister is a ceramic heater, a temperature sensor and an adsorbed vapor sensor. A water drain permits condensed moisture to be released from the canister. The sparger comprises a microscopically porous body having a plurality of relatively large blind passages therein, the sparger body being entirely immersed in the liquid gasoline.
