Publication number: 20170050129Abstract: A floating suction head assembly for use with a hose, for drawing liquid into the hose. The assembly includes a float assembly, a gusset member coupled to the float assembly and a strainer assembly rotatably mounted to the gusset member. The strainer assembly has a coupling portion for coupling to a hose. The strainer assembly is rotatable relative to the gusset member and the float assembly about a central longitudinal axis defined by the strainer assembly. The strainer assembly includes a strainer cage defining an interior cavity, and a strainer cartridge selectively disposable in the interior cavity and retained therein. The strainer cartridge has a generally cylindrical configuration and rotates about the central longitudinal axis of the strainer assembly. The strainer cartridge includes a corrugated exterior surface including bent portions forming alternating furrow and ridge portions substantially about the circumference of the strainer cartridge.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 18, 2016Publication date: February 23, 2017Applicant: Kochek Co., Inc.Inventor: Gregory Kozey

Patent number: 8857744Abstract: In a sprinkler head hose adapter, a swivel adapter is rotatably coupled to a head adapter. The swivel adapter defines a bore that extends therethrough and that is in fluid communication with a conduit coupled to the swivel adapter. A coupler is positioned in an end of the conduit and includes a bore in fluid communication with the conduit. A portion of the coupler extends outwardly from the coupler and can be attached to a hose or other apparatus forming part of a sprinkler system.Type: GrantFiled: December 8, 2011Date of Patent: October 14, 2014Assignee: Kochek Company, Inc.Inventor: Gregory Kozey

Patent number: 7387320Abstract: A pressure relief cap for a water supply comprises an outer portion defining a front face for generally covering an outlet of the supply. The outer portion includes a seal for being urged against and sealingly engaging a periphery of the outlet. An inner portion includes a connector for coupling and decoupling to an outlet. The inner portion is rotatably coupled to the outer portion such that upon at least partial rotation of the outer portion in a first direction relative to the inner portion the seal is moved axially inwardly relative to the inner portion from a disengaged position to an engaged position to sealingly engage a periphery of an outlet, and upon at least partial rotation of the outer portion in an opposite direction the seal is moved axially outwardly from the engaged position to the disengaged position to thereby permit back pressure within an outlet to vent.Type: GrantFiled: July 26, 2004Date of Patent: June 17, 2008Assignee: Kochek Company, Inc.Inventor: Gregory Kozey

Patent number: 6102444Abstract: A multi-part STORZ type coupling comprises a pair of similar and complementary coupling units. Each unit comprises assembled inner and outer annular parts which are threaded together and fixedly attached. Each inner annular part has a pair of similar spaced forwardly projecting lugs at a front-end portion and each lug has a radially outwardly projecting ear at its free end portion. Each outer annular part has a diametrically enlarged front-end portion which accommodates an annular groove opening radially inwardly. Circumaxially spaced forwardly open notches permit the lugs of a complementary coupling unit to be entered rearwardly through the notches into the groove. When the lugs have been so entered and rotated to an assembled position the parts of the coupling may be fixedly attached to each other.Type: GrantFiled: July 9, 1998Date of Patent: August 15, 2000Assignee: Kochek Company, Inc.Inventor: Gregory Kozey
