Patent number: 6024543Abstract: A blower wheel for an electric motor driven fan includes an impeller in concentric alignment with a back plate. The back plate has an interior sleeve with a plurality of inwardly directed ribs that define a motor receiving circle in which a motor is disposed. Gaps between the ribs form a cooling shroud about a motor rotor such that when the blower wheel is rotated the plurality of ribs force high velocity air through the gaps and over the outside surface of the rotor. The blower also includes a shroud positioned about the blower wheel and motor having inlet and outlet air openings.Type: GrantFiled: November 7, 1997Date of Patent: February 15, 2000Assignee: Zero CorporationInventor: Michael J. Lambertson

Patent number: 5937519Abstract: A method of manufacturing a convoluted heat exchanger core from a continuous sheet of thermally conductive metallic material includes providing a pusher bar assembly having a table, a pusher bar plate mounted transversely across the table and a stripper bar plate mounted transversely across the table in opposed relation to the pusher bar plate. The pusher bar plate is moveable along the length of the table between a feed position that is spaced a predetermined distance from the stripper bar plate and a fold position that is located adjacent the stripper bar plate. The sheet of material is fed lengthwise onto the table and into engagement between the pusher bar plate and the table with a portion of the sheet of material located between the pusher bar plate and the stripper plate when the pusher bar plate is in the feed position. The portion of sheet material is folded into a convolution by moving the pusher bar plate to the fold position.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 1998Date of Patent: August 17, 1999Assignee: Zero CorporationInventor: Joel J. Strand

Patent number: 4964015Abstract: A chair for conducting the electrostatic charge of an occupant to the floor on which the chair rests, with the chair seat carried on a support unit which permits rotation of the seat and adjustment of the height of the seat above the floor. The support unit includes an outer sleeve and an inner sleeve moving vertically relative to the outer sleeve, and an electrical resistor connected between the inner and outer sleeves and in sliding contact with at least one of the sleeves, typically by means of a spring finger strip mounted in a groove of a bushing or collar.Type: GrantFiled: March 27, 1989Date of Patent: October 16, 1990Assignee: Zero CorporationInventors: Richard L. Crooker, Vincent J. Fitzgerald, Jeffery D. Campbell

Patent number: 4785294Abstract: A static monitoring system for use with an electronic manufacturing work area, typically a conventional work bench having an electrical conducting strap for connecting the operator's wrist to earth ground, and including a circuit for indicating when there is an earth ground connection and circuitry for indicating when an electrostatically charged object, such as another human, approaches the work station. An antenna is positioned at the work station spaced from the working surface and from the operator, with the antenna connected as an input to an amplifier circuit which measures the change in electrostatic field strength and hence the approach of a charged object, with an indicator providing a visual or audible alarm or both. An oscillator provides an ac signal to each input of a differential amplifier, with one input connected to circuit ground through a capacitor and the other input connected to a wrist strap or the like on the operator.Type: GrantFiled: June 24, 1986Date of Patent: November 15, 1988Assignee: Zero CorporationInventor: Jeffrey D. Campbell

Patent number: 4603375Abstract: An ejector for a printed circuit board plug-in unit for use with printed circuit board cages having a fixed ejection surface. The ejector is constructed and defined to be pivotally mounted through an aperture provided for the panel member of the plug-in unit for pivotally engaging the fixed ejection surface of the cage system for extracting the electrical connector carried by the printed circuit board of the plug-in unit from the electrical connector of the cage system. The ejector has a handle portion with an extraction portion extending through the aperture of the panel along with a portion defining a bearing surface for engaging the fixed ejection surface. A bracket secured to the panel member also pivotally secures the ejector extraction portion to the printed circuit board.Type: GrantFiled: February 21, 1985Date of Patent: July 29, 1986Assignee: Zero CorporationInventors: William J. Miller, Steve A. Alaniz

Patent number: 4478469Abstract: A male-female keying device formed of two elongated strips, one on each element that is to be keyed. Correspondingly positioned holes are in each strip. A few projecting male pins are located in selected holes in one strip and several non-projecting pins are located in each hole of the other strip except those holes that are positioned to receive the male projecting pins. A pair of spaced apart elongated pins act as guides in assembling the two strips.A relatively large number of holes in both strips allows a very large number of codes to be arranged, whereby only one pair of male and female strips can be mated.Type: GrantFiled: May 17, 1982Date of Patent: October 23, 1984Assignee: Zero CorporationInventors: Robert J. Waite, Ronald P. Almeida

Patent number: 4072380Abstract: A dual inline integrated circuit socket having nonpluggable electrical pin positions relative to receiving the leads of an integrated circuit package. The socket provides this function by means of a cap having "blind" positions or a "short" cap to allow access to the nonpluggable electrical contacts.Type: GrantFiled: January 17, 1977Date of Patent: February 7, 1978Assignee: Zero CorporationInventor: Eugene G. Freehauf
