  • CENTRAL VACUUM SYSTEM AND INLET VALVES THEREFOR
    Publication number: 20200305666
    Abstract: A central vacuum cleaning system includes an inlet valve mounted at various locations in a structure or RV and connected to the inlet end of a vacuum conduit. A section of hose is slidably mounted within the conduit and extends from the inlet valve for cleaning an adjacent area. A pair of seals within the inlet valve retains a nozzle handle mounted on the end of the hose in a stored position when the hose is in a retracted position and provides an air seal between the handle and vacuum supply conduit. A locking mechanism mounted on one embodiment of the inlet valves automatically locks the hose in a selected extended position when manually pulled from the inlet valve. A mounting bracket enables the inlet valve to be mounted at various locations in the structure and a pair of seals enables the inlet valve to be open to the ambient atmosphere.

  • METHOD FOR PRE-STRESSING A STEEL STRUCTURE, AND STEEL STRUCTURE PRE-STRESSED USING SAID METHOD
    Publication number: 20200299911
    Abstract: According to the method, at least one carbon fibre-reinforced polymer band is joined to the steel structure at the end regions thereof, capable of transferring tensile forces. Subsequently, at least one lifting element (7) disposed between the carbon fibre-reinforced polymer band (4) and the steel girder (3) to be reinforced in a region between these end anchorages (5), is extended substantially perpendicular to the carbon fibre-reinforced polymer band (4). So, a tensile force stress is generated between the end regions of the carbon fibre-reinforced polymer band (4). Then, a steel girder treated in such a manner includes at least one carbon fibre-reinforced polymer band, which is each joined to the steel structure (1) at the end regions thereof, capable of transferring tensile forces.

  • Quilting machine
    Patent number: 10781544
    Abstract: Apparatuses, methods, and computer program products for quilting webs. A quilting machine includes a cutting edge, a looper from which thread is provided to form stitches, and an adjuster assembly. The adjuster assembly extends an adjuster toward the thread between the looper and the retainer. When the adjuster is moved, a predetermined amount of thread is pulled away from the looper by the adjuster to provide a controlled length of thread between the looper and the cutting edge. The looper assembly may also include an air nozzle that urges the thread away from the adjuster after the thread has been cut. The thread passes through a thread tension monitor that monitors tension in the thread. The tension monitor includes a lift arm that selectively disables the tension monitor so that a loss of tension in the sewing head does not shut down the quilting machine.
