  • Patent number: 8125628
    Abstract: A light baffle arrangement for sensors is used to limit the sensing field of view. Arranging multiple said limited view sensors in a linear array provides a means to accurately locate and analyze the position of a beam pattern along said array axis as in checking vehicle headlamp beam alignment.

  • Patent number: 5353962
    Abstract: A spray dispenser includes an outer body, a product bag containing a liquid product disposed in the outer body, and a valve disposed at an upper end of the outer body. An elastic energy-storing member is disposed below the bag, and an energizing member is disposed below the energy-storing member for compressing the latter. The energizing member is raised by rotation of a threaded post which extends through the energizing member in threaded connection therewith. The post comprises a plurality of screws telescopingly arranged to define separate stages of operation, whereby the screws move from a retracted relationship to an extended relationship as the energizing member moves upwardly.

  • Patent number: 5282549
    Abstract: A dispenser comprises a housing, a product-containing bag disposed within the housing, and a valve for discharging product from the bag. An energy-storing member, in the form of a gas-filled bellows, or a cellular foam element, is disposed beneath the product-containing bag and is raisable thereagainst to pressurize the product within the bag. An overload preventing mechanism prevents energy-storing member from being excessively compressed. The valve and product-containing bag are removable as a unit from the housing to enable an identical refill unit to be installed.

  • Patent number: 4135228
    Abstract: An underwater illumination device comprises a base with a plug for a power source. A lamp on the base is enveloped by a tubular, transparent sleeve, with a cap at its outer end. A flux control reflector within the sleeve has a base and side plates, each provided with fluted surfaces serving to concentrate the light flux from the bulb and to direct the flux such that it flows to the outer edges of the beam to thereby more evenly illuminate an underwater object.
