  • Patent number: 10731368
    Abstract: Exemplary embodiments are directed to deck jet systems including an adjustable cover and flexible finishing cap. The deck jet systems include a housing with threads formed on an inner surface of the housing. The deck jet systems include an adjustment ring with threads formed on an outer surface of the adjustment ring complementary to the threads of the housing. The deck jet systems include an adjustable cover, the bottom surface of the adjustable cover being inserted into the proximal end of the housing and supported by a top surface of the adjustment ring. Engagement of the threads of the housing and the adjustment ring and rotation of the adjustment ring relative to the housing can vary an elevation of the adjustment ring relative to the housing which, in turn, varies an elevation of the adjustable cover relative to the housing. Exemplary embodiments are also directed to methods of adjusting a deck jet system.

  • Patent number: 9097360
    Abstract: A valve for a refrigeration system includes a valve body having an inlet port, an outlet port, and walls forming a main cavity. The valve also includes a cartridge that resides within the main cavity and having a piston configured to travel in a first direction to permit fluid flow from the inlet port to the outlet port and in a second direction to impede fluid flow from the inlet port to the outlet port and a port plate configured to removably couple to the valve body to substantially close an end of the main cavity substantially enclosing the cartridge within the main cavity, the port plate including a plurality of ports, each port configured to accept at least one of various valve control elements configured to control the piston to permit or impede the fluid flow from the inlet port to the outlet port.
