  • Patent number: 8523382
    Abstract: A fluorescent lamp fixture for mounting a ballast and at least one fluorescent lamp and a method of dissipating heat from the same is disclosed. The fixture comprises a molded housing defining a groove and a hat-shaped metal strip having an outer wall with at least two surfaces in contact with the sides of the groove and at least one flange in contact with the top of the housing. The metal strip also has a pair of inner walls positioned relative to the outer wall so as to define a chamber. At least one fastener is slidably held by the strip such that a portion of the fastener is retained within the chamber and slides along the inner walls. The fastener secures a ballast in direct contact with the flanges whereby heat from the ballast is transferred to the metal strip and dissipated from the housing during use.

  • Patent number: 6053370
    Abstract: A dispenser for dispensing charges of fluid from a container and applicable to a mouth of the container with the container in an inverted position and the mouth down. The dispenser includes a body formed of resilient elastomeric material having a hollow annular upper part having a flexible, resilient annular wall and an upper and lower end and constituting a bellows which is downwardly expansible and upwardly contractible by flexing of the annular wall. The body has integral with the bellows a lower part having a discharge port. The dispenser includes a first check valve at an entry end of the bellows operable for flow of fluid into the bellows on expansion thereof and operable to block flow of fluid from the pump member out of its upper end on contraction thereof. A second valve is operable for dispensing the charge of fluid from the bellows down into the outlet nozzle on contraction of the bellows and to block flow out of the bellows outlet on expansion of the bellows.
