Patent number: 6371321Abstract: A case module for articles comprises an open top case chamber confined by a front wall, a rear wall, a left wall, a right wall, and a bottom wall, a front part disposed in front of the font wall, a rear part disposed in front of the rear wall, and a flat upper lid. The characteristics is in that the case module can be lifted in a state of opening by way of two lid projections on the upper lid being inserted between a beam groove in the rear part and the case chamber and the support device being inserted into the lid cover. Moreover, a right and left connection of the case modules can be performed by that the wall frame on the left wall of the one case module being inserted into the wall recess on the right wall of the another case module. A front and rear connection of the case modules can be performed by that a rear stick on the one case module is inserted into a front post of the another case module.Type: GrantFiled: May 31, 2001Date of Patent: April 16, 2002Inventor: Ching-Chuan Lee

Patent number: 6230922Abstract: A composite pressure vessel for storing gaseous media under pressure, having a plastic liner two neck pieces arranged in the neck region, and a winding of a fiber composite material that reinforces the liner. In the neck piece that accommodates the valve there is provided a clamping ring which can be screwed into the neck piece and has on the outer circumference a threaded section which is adjoined by a thread-free, frustoconical section. A groove is arranged between internally threaded sections of the neck piece to accommodate a sealing ring and extends radially into the neck piece. On the outside of the respective neck piece, in the region adjoining the collar, provision is made to arrange at least one bead which extends radially outward over the entire circumference.Type: GrantFiled: May 15, 2000Date of Patent: May 15, 2001Assignee: Mannesmann AGInventors: Christian Rasche, Steffen Rau

Patent number: 5433334Abstract: A closure member for a pressure vessel, the closure member including a flange member secured with the pressure vessel, a pressure vessel door supported by the pressure vessel, a ring assembly mounted with the flange member for engaging the pressure vessel door as a result of selective rotational movement of the ring assembly from an unlocked position to a locked position by the radially contracting cooperative movement of engaging members into engagement with the pressure vessel door as a result of such rotational movement.Type: GrantFiled: September 8, 1993Date of Patent: July 18, 1995Inventor: Raymond P. Reneau

Patent number: 4156225Abstract: An electric fuse is of the type including indicating means for indicating if the main fusible element has melted. The indicating means includes a first and second auxiliary fusible element, each having a higher resistance than the main fusible element. When the fuse is fully assembled, and the main fusible element has melted, the path of current is through the first and second auxiliary fusible elements. The second auxiliary fusible element functions to restrain movement of an indicator button. When current flows through the auxiliary fusible elements, the second auxiliary fusible element is designed to melt first, thereby causing the indicator button to move. The operability of the first and second auxiliary fusible elements can be independently and non-destructively determined before and after assembly of the fuse. After fuse assembly, the fuse can be non-destructively disassembled so as to determine the operability of the first and second auxiliary elements.Type: GrantFiled: January 19, 1978Date of Patent: May 22, 1979Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventor: Raymond Cuzzone

Patent number: 4108328Abstract: An aircraft fuel tank construction for the type of fuel tank which is fabricated by joining a split cylindrical center section with two conical end sections and which is disassembled during shipment and storage. The center section is joined together by a connecting plate which maintains a gap between the joined ends at a fixed, predetermined width for optimum sealing effectiveness of an interposed elastomeric seal. Owing to the manner of construction, the seal may be seated and then visually inspected for potential leakage before the center section is joined. Leakage at the interface of each end section seal with the center section seal is avoided during expansion or contraction of the center section seal by the center seal being suitably positioned to slide over the end seal during such movement. The tank is free from drag-producing obstructions as all joints are flush with the surface of the tank.Type: GrantFiled: November 4, 1977Date of Patent: August 22, 1978Assignee: Sargent Fletcher CompanyInventor: Darrell Page
