  • Patent number: 7296572
    Abstract: A device for adjusting a lid cover for an oxygen mask dispensing container. The device includes a stationary plate having a cover that is adjustable relative to the plate by means of a spring such that an outermost lid cover is capable of easily mating with the opening in the interior lining of an aircraft. The lid is spring-biased toward the plate such that when the plate is attached to the oxygen mask dispensing container body, the lid is automatically pulled into position relative to the opening in the interior lining of the aircraft.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 6913016
    Abstract: A valve manifold assembly having a valve body with at least one chamber defined therein. The chamber has at least one inlet and at least one outlet and has at least one opening. A poppet is disposed in the chamber. The poppet slides in the chamber between a first position where the poppet seals the inlet and a second position where the poppet is disposed in spaced-apart relation relative to the inlet. The poppet has an opening disposed therein. A pin having a first section with a first diameter and having a second section with a second diameter is capable of being slidably disposed through the at least one opening in the valve body and through the opening in the poppet.

  • Patent number: 6595383
    Abstract: An overpack is provided for packaging cylinders containing compressed gas. Cylinders containing compressed gas typically have a pressure relief mechanism that releases the gas from the cylinder when the pressure inside the cylinder approaches a pressure detrimental to the cylinder. In high heat, high temperature situations such as when the overpack is exposed to a fire, the overpack of the present invention extends the time that it takes for the cylinders to trigger the pressure relief mechanism.
