Publication number: 20250143238Abstract: A water control device includes a valve pipe section with a controllable valve configured for controlling flow of a fluid and/or a gas therethrough having a fluid inlet opposite a fluid outlet. A first pipe stub defines a first end opposite a flanged end. An inlet-side nut is configured to be disposed around the first pipe stub and the first end of the first pipe stud is configured to be permanently attached to a first pipe section. The flanged end is configured to attach to the fluid inlet of the valve pipe section by the inlet-side nut abutting the flanged end of the first pipe stub when internal screw threads of the inlet-side nut threadably engages with external screw threads of fluid inlet of the valve pipe section. A second pipe stub is similarly attached to the fluid outlet by a similarly constructed outlet-side nut.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 10, 2025Publication date: May 8, 2025Applicant: Lumo, Inc.Inventor: Henry M.

Patent number: 12193369Abstract: A water control device includes a valve pipe section with an inlet, an outlet and a lower diaphragm valve housing with an internally disposed fluid aperture. An upper diaphragm valve housing includes an extension with an adjustment screw opening for a flow adjustment screw. A diaphragm valve assembly seals and unseals to the fluid aperture by an electric motor driven mechanical actuation fluid pressure diverter assembly. The flow adjustment screw includes a tamper proof surface that can be engaged by a flow adjustment tool. A base structure and cover protect sensitive components and are removable via a cover nut that also has a tamper proof surface. A flow turbine assembly is also removably disposed within the valve pipe section. The entire water control device can be removed and replaced through the use of pipe stub fittings using connecting nuts to engage the inlet and outlet of the valve pipe section.Type: GrantFiled: May 21, 2024Date of Patent: January 14, 2025Assignee: Lumo, Inc.Inventor: Henry M.

Patent number: 4644732Abstract: A disposable, portion controlled container for condiments and other comestibles formed from heat sealable material is disclosed, featuring an easy opening of the container by virtue of a unique fold and heat seal made at one corner of the container during manufacture. An inside reverse fold is made in one corner of the container and a heat seal made along a four thickness layer of this inside reverse fold defines a tear line, stronger than the adjacent material. A tab extended from this four thickness heat seal of the inside reverse fold provides the means for opening the container along the tear line. The size of the opening in the container is controlled by the initial width of material used to form the inside reverse fold.Type: GrantFiled: August 8, 1985Date of Patent: February 24, 1987Assignee: Lumo, Inc.Inventor: Jay Morton
