Publication number: 20210380086Abstract: Towed vehicles can be extremely heavy. Accordingly, it is too much of a burden to the braking system of a towing vehicle to not have brakes on the towed vehicle. Controlling the brakes of the towed vehicle must be accurately applied otherwise undesirable conditions can be created. There is a need for a method for controlling braking of a towed vehicle. This method comprises receiving a first signal via a communication bus of a towing vehicle, the first signal relating to at least one operating condition of at least one the towing vehicle and a towed vehicle, sending a second signal to brakes of the towed vehicle, the second signal based on said first signal.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 25, 2021Publication date: December 9, 2021Inventors: Marcia Albright, Chandrakumar Kulkarni, Jerald Prater, Jason Reichard, Dennis Morse, Mark Austin, Pat Burgess, Marvin Hoot, Larry Eccleston, Steve Zavodny

Publication number: 20140001744Abstract: A union coupling having a removable screen is disclosed. The union coupling includes a pipe joint, a fitting that receives the screen, and a collar which clamps the fitting to the pipe joint. In one form, the fitting has an inner surface that defines a passage through the fitting and a pocket formed in the inner surface. The screen has a transverse extension that is received at least in part in the pocket with engagement of the transverse extension and pocket restricting passage of the screen past a predetermined position in the passage. A union coupling having a fitting comprising a fitting body with an outward flange and a shoulder element with an outward flange is also provided. The shoulder element is connected to the fitting body to captivate a collar between the outward flanges of the fitting so that the collar does not become separated from the fitting body. A method of assembling a union coupling is also provided.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 28, 2013Publication date: January 2, 2014Applicant: Rain Bird CorporationInventors: Clint R. Haas, Jason A. Reichard

Patent number: 6419055Abstract: A positioner member having a spherically curved wall with an opening through it, a receiver having a surface complementary to the curved wall to nestably interfit with it, a releasable locking member disposed behind the curved wall, and an elongated connector member extending from the receiver through the opening in the curved wall and into engagement with the locking member to permit tightening and loosening of the positioner and receiver, whereby they may be moved relative to one another in a three-dimensionally orbital manner when the connector and locking element are loosened but immovably clamped when these two elements are tightened. The positioner member is attachable to a desired external support such as an automobile dashboard, and the receiver is attachable to a brake controller or other such device. The receiver may be integral with the brake controller, formed in or attached to a side thereof.Type: GrantFiled: November 29, 1999Date of Patent: July 16, 2002Inventors: John Walsh, Mark Roth, Joseph B. Wells, Jason A. Reichard
