Patent number: 8034240Abstract: A filter element includes a cylindrical housing enclosing a ring-shaped filter media assembly. The media assembly includes inner and outer media rings, moveably supported relative to one another, to remove particulate matter and water from a fluid stream. The outer ring surrounds the inner ring and is sealed by a first seal to the housing. An end cap assembly at the upper end of the element includes an annular end cap piece attached to an upper end of the inner ring, a flat plate, and a threaded flange portion bounding the periphery of the plate. A second seal is provided between the upper end cap of the inner ring, and an upper end cap of the outer ring. The housing is secured to the media assembly by forming an open end of the housing around the flange portion.Type: GrantFiled: June 5, 2009Date of Patent: October 11, 2011Assignee: Parker-Hannifin CorporationInventors: Cheryl M. Reiland, Walter H. Stone

Patent number: 6484898Abstract: A collapsible, foldable container with reduced deflection and increased strength and convenience is provided. A door can be provided in the lower portion in one or more of the sidewalls, opening upward and outward without unduly loading the door hinges. A latch is provided to hold the door in the open configuration engageable by slamming open and disengaging by jerking close. In one embodiment, the base of the container includes a plate having ribbing extending upwardly therefrom. When a smooth-bottomed surface is desired, a plate may be installed on top of the upwardly extending ribbing. Ribbing on the bottom surface and/or sidewall surfaces can include close-loop or circular ribs with integral ribbing extending radially therefrom. Preferably, containers are configured so that they can be stacked, one upon the other, either with or without a top or lid. Preferably, the lid, when provided, avoids pooling of liquids such as rainwater by having a domed-shape and by providing channels in a peripheral ridge.Type: GrantFiled: June 27, 2001Date of Patent: November 26, 2002Assignee: Perstorp XytecInventors: Mark Hillis, Clifford R. Perry, Cheryl M. Reiland

Patent number: 5199592Abstract: A container having an opening in a sidewall coverable by a hinged gate is described. The hinge for the gate is made by mating two, preferably identical, hinge bodies to thereby insert posts on the hinge into sockets residing, respectively, in the gate and sidewall. The hinge rotates with respect to the gate about a first axis, and rotates with respect to the sidewall about a second spaced parallel axis. The gate, in the opened position, lies flat against the sidewall and is entirely clear from the opening. The gate is latched in its closed position by a clip structure which passes through a first lip of the gate, then through a lip of the sidewall, then through a second lip of the gate.Type: GrantFiled: March 17, 1992Date of Patent: April 6, 1993Assignee: Perstorp Extec, Inc.Inventors: Cheryl M.
