  • Patent number: 5746179
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a throttle control device to be used in combination with an engine having a throttle and a pump driven by the engine. The automatic control device has a housing defining a chamber having a first opening adapted to receive a fluid containing conduit in communication with the pump. A piston is slideably mounted in the chamber and has a first end acted on by a fluid contained in the conduit. A spring surrounds a portion of the piston within the chamber and biases the piston towards the first opening and, therefore, the fluid. A second end of the piston extends through a second opening in the chamber and controls the throttle. A first adjustable stop in the chamber limits travel of the piston and a second adjustable stop controls the compression of the spring.

  • Patent number: 3938143
    Abstract: A warning buzzer having an armature arranged to strike the wall of the cavity formed by the buzzer housing to increase the sound emitted thereby. The buzzer includes terminals molded in a base with one terminal having a coil core and magnetic return leg formed thereon with the coil bobbin received on the core having a pair of lugs on which the coil terminals are wrapped and dip soldered. The dip soldered lugs are then staked in the terminal and in a contact member for both supporting the coil and extending electrical connections thereto.
