Patent number: 10066760Abstract: A valve position indicator assembly is disclosed herein. The valve position indicator assembly includes a gearing assembly operable to transmit an input rotation to an output rotation. The gearing assembly includes a first gearing member driven to the output rotation by the input rotation. A rate of the output rotation is a fraction of and less than a rate of the input rotation. The valve position indicator assembly includes: a position indicia engaged with the first gearing member such that the indicia and the first gearing member move together; a scale plate including a plurality of graduated indicia defining a scale of rotation movement of the first gearing member; a mounting bracket comprising a first slot having a length extending between a first end and a second end; and a debris shield having a first end, second end, and inclined frustoconical sides.Type: GrantFiled: May 11, 2016Date of Patent: September 4, 2018Assignee: TRUMBULL MANUFACTURING, INC.Inventors: Blake J. Emanuel, Francis Craig Newmeyer

Publication number: 20150107506Abstract: A valve position indicator assembly is disclosed herein. The valve position indicator assembly includes a gearing assembly operable to transmit an input rotation to an output rotation. The gearing assembly includes a first gearing member driven to the output rotation by the input rotation. A rate of the output rotation is a fraction of and less than a rate of the input rotation. The valve position indicator assembly also includes a position indicia engaged with the first gearing member such that the indicia and the first gearing member jointly move together. The valve position indicator assembly also includes a scale plate including a plurality of graduated indicia defining a scale of rotation movement of the first gearing member. The scale plate is disposed proximate to the first gearing member such that the position indicia passes across the scale of the scale plate during the output rotation.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 9, 2013Publication date: April 23, 2015Applicant: TRUMBULL MANUFACTURING, INC.Inventors: BLAKE J.

Publication number: 20140235073Abstract: A rotary connector assembly includes a connector housing sized to mate with a mating adapter and a lock ring. The connector housing includes at least one flexible tab. The lock ring is disposed over at least a portion of the connector housing. One of the connector housing and the lock ring includes a guide pin and the other includes a guide member disposed between the guide pin and the flexible tab. A rotation of the lock ring in a first direction flexes the tab radially inwards into a first position to secure the mating adapter in the connector housing, and a rotation of the lock ring in a second direction into a second position flexes the tab radially outwards to release the mating adapter from the connector housing.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 21, 2013Publication date: August 21, 2014Applicant: BOURNS, INC.Inventors: Michael Scorzelli, Craig Newmeyer, Michael Holuk
