Patent number: 8033849Abstract: A mounting plate having an orienting portion facilitates orienting the vacuum connection opening of the mounting plate with respect to an anticipated orientation of a receptacle and electrical box. The orienting portion is optionally releasably attachable to the main body of the mounting plate which main body comprises the vacuum connection opening. The mounting plate is mounted prior to installation of the electrical receptacle in the electrical box. The orienting portion of the mounting plate facilitates orienting the vacuum connection opening in a known orientation with respect to an anticipated orientation of the electrical receptacle when inserted in the electrical box. After installation of the inlet valve and the electrical receptacle, a hose cuff having standard electrical terminals oriented with respect to the vacuum connection of the hose cuff may be simultaneously inserted into the electrical receptacle and the vacuum connection opening.Type: GrantFiled: October 1, 2010Date of Patent: October 11, 2011Assignee: Plastiflex Canada Inc.Inventors: James George Sheremeta, Daniel David Richard Mika

Publication number: 20100140917Abstract: A vacuum connection to connect a vacuum fitting to a corrugated hose has an air tube which defines an air channel and fits into the corrugated pipe. The connecting has a securing mechanism to secure the air tube to the corrugated hose. The air tube has an outer diameter which corresponds to the inner diameter of the corrugated hose to create an air tight seal. The securing mechanism has radial projections which are radially biased towards the air tube and engage one or more of the corrugations of the corrugated pipe to secure the vacuum fitting to the corrugated pipe. When the corrugated pipe is to be removed from the fitting, the radial projections may be moved against the biasing force to disengage the corrugations and permit removal of the corrugated pipe from the fitting. The opening of the air tube has a chamfered edge to create a smooth transition from the air channel of the air tube to the corrugated pipe thereby decreasing vacuum loss, debris accumulation and excessive noise.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 1, 2009Publication date: June 10, 2010Applicant: Plastiflex Canada Inc.Inventors: James George Sheremeta, Yan Feng
