Publication number: 20240125414Abstract: A bellows member (10) for use in connecting two plumbing interfaces to one another. The bellows member is a generally hollow design with cuff ends (12, 14), each of which connects to an ends of another interface. The bellows member has a flexible bellows body center section that moves to accommodate operational off-axis misalignment, while being able to absorb vacuum and pressure differentials. The disclosed bellows resists vacuum implosion and internal pressurization. The flexible center section is provided with a plurality of convolutes (34, 36, 38) oriented radially outwardly on a horizontal axis. The bellows functions to accommodate misalignment between the two plumbing interfaces.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 4, 2021Publication date: April 18, 2024Inventors: James W.

Patent number: 10883261Abstract: Systems and methods for managing waste (including liquid, solid, and mixed waste) without using a sink, worktop, or countertop disposal feature. Specific examples provide particular use in connection with an aircraft or other vehicle galley, lavatory, or any other location in which waste that requires disposal is generated. The disclosed embodiments may be installed in an initial galley or lavatory, or they may be used to retrofit an existing environment, such that an entire new disposal system or new sink footprint is not required.Type: GrantFiled: March 22, 2019Date of Patent: January 5, 2021Assignee: MAG Aerospace Industries, LLCInventors: Christoph Goeschel, Martin Pieramico, Thomas Lee, James W. Pomeroy, Mohan Mittur

Patent number: 10683651Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate generally to a toilet bidet system for use on a passenger transportation vehicle. In particular, there is described a bidet rinse ring that converts a standalone toilet to a combined toilet and bidet system. Designs find particular use onboard passenger transportation vehicles, such as aircraft. Such systems benefit from efficient space management and generally cannot support a separate toilet and bidet. The bidet rinse ring described herein may come factory-mounted on the toilet. In other examples, the bidet rinse ring may replace a standard rinse ring in order to retrofit an existing toilet.Type: GrantFiled: January 28, 2019Date of Patent: June 16, 2020Assignee: MAG Aerospace Industries, LLCInventors: James W. Pomeroy, Roger Michael Wilbanks, Christoph Goeschel, Joerg Stachowski

Patent number: 6155170Abstract: A screen printing machine is provided having a cabinet, a print screen, a platen assembly, and a curing assembly. The cabinet includes an upper opening and a shelf extending inwardly along at least two opposed cabinet sidewalls. The print screen is adapted to be held on the cabinet shelf in a lateral position. The platen assembly is provided for supporting a substrate suitable for receiving a screen print. The curing assembly is movably connected to the cabinet and located generally above the cabinet upper opening. The curing assembly includes a housing having an open bottom and at least one ultraviolet bulb attached within the housing and oriented to direct ultraviolet light downward. During use, the curing assembly moves laterally between a first position in which the ultraviolet light bulb is not directly above the substrate and a second position in which the ultraviolet light bulb is located directly above the substrate.Type: GrantFiled: January 14, 1999Date of Patent: December 5, 2000Assignee: Universal Screenprinting Systems, Inc.Inventors: John R. Benedetto, William Gillespie, Jr., James W. Pomeroy, Duke Goss

Patent number: 5622108Abstract: A screen printing machine for: (i) creating an image bearing screen; (ii) using the image-bearing screen to create designs on a suitable substrate; and (iii) heating the print to cure the print ink. The bottom of a cabinet forms the base of a cavity that houses a series of ultraviolet (UV) lamps used to create an image-bearing screen. The top of the cavity is enclosed by a protective panel when the lamps are not being used. Narrow shelves that extend inwardly from the side walls support a pop-up screen holder that includes a U-shaped frame sized to receive a screen frame. A downwardly extending tube is slidably mounted in a vertical tubular hole. A coil spring creates an upward pressure on the U-shaped frame. The U-shaped frame is held down by a latch mechanism. A screen registration mechanism moves the U-shaped frame into a fixed position. A beveled block forces a print screen into a predetermined position.Type: GrantFiled: January 30, 1996Date of Patent: April 22, 1997Assignee: Universal Screenprinting Systems, Inc.Inventors: John R. Benedetto, William Gillespie, Jr., James W. Pomeroy, Duke Goss, Charles J. Pomeroy
