  • Patent number: 10247597
    Abstract: A fuel pump assembly includes an attachment section and a pump housing. The attachment section includes an upper telescoping section having an outer portion and a support rod that extends into the outer portion for telescoping movement with respect thereto. The support rod further extends downward from the outer portion. The pump housing is supported to a lower end of the support rod of the attachment section. The upper telescoping section of the support rod is configured such that the pump housing is movable between a first position and a second position, such that in the first position the pump housing is retained by the upper telescoping structure a first distance away from the attachment section and in the second position the pump housing is located a second distance away from the attachment section. The first distance is greater than the second distance.

  • Patent number: 10215614
    Abstract: A fuel sender assembly having a housing, a first positioning mechanism, a second positioning mechanism and a sender unit. The first positioning mechanism contacts an outer surface of the housing and is movable in a first direction relative to the housing. The first positioning mechanism is further configured to retain the sender unit in any one of a plurality of positions relative to the outer surface of the housing. The second positioning mechanism includes a first part and a second part. The first part is attached to the first positioning mechanism. The second part is coupled to the first part such that the second part is movably positionable relative to the first part in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. The sender unit is connected to the second part.

  • Patent number: 10173521
    Abstract: A tube extends through an attachment section and defines a vapor passageway. A housing is supported to the attachment section for movement between several positions relative to the attachment section. The housing defines a float chamber below the tube. A valve seat portion is located within the float chamber and has an engagement part, a sleeve part and a seat surface. The engagement part is connected to the housing. The sleeve part telescopically engages the tube and is movable along the tube with the housing. The valve seat portion defines a central bore open to the vapor passageway and the seat surface. The float moves within the float chamber. When to fluid enters the float chamber the float floats up against the seat surface closing off the central bore and the vapor passageway. In the absence of fluid the float moves downward exposing the seat surface.

  • Publication number: 20070027037
    Abstract: An aerosol dispensing container or pressurized vessel such as a metallic spray can at least contains a non-flammable aerosol propellant and a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) lubricant mixture (propellant/lubricant mixture). The propellant/lubricant mixture has been formulated such that is non-migrating, i.e., stays where it is applied rather than spreading into surrounding areas. The propellant/lubricant mixture has a wide range of applications and is especially well formulated for automotive applications for which smooth, repeated movement is essential. The low coefficient of friction characteristic of the propellant/lubricant mixture translates to superior effectiveness. By providing this propellant/lubricant mixture in the pressurized vessel, the PTFE lubricant of the present invention can be applied in places that conventional liquid lubricants could not reach. For example in small spaces between plastic, rubber, or metal parts that cause unwanted squeaking, rattling or other noise.
