Patent number: 10669809Abstract: A pressure control valve located in an improved tubing hanger of an oil or gas wellhead. The pressure valve having in-line communication with the production bore and having pressure activation. The pressure activation is imparted by utilizing hydraulic pressure input through the existing test port into the tubing head adapter void space. The pressure actuates the in-line wellhead control valve in a safer, more efficient, and less expensive manner than current industry practices and provides a barrier to pressurized hydrocarbons, both liquid and gas, produced by the well. The control valve eliminates the need for a lubricator and expensive specialized equipment. The valve is easily operated by a standard hydraulic hand pump through the existing test port of the tubing head adapter, and fits inside the tubing hanger.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2017Date of Patent: June 2, 2020Inventors: Billy A Bowen, Jr., Jason Lee Bowen

Patent number: 8434199Abstract: A knob safety assembly is operative to selectively restrict depression of a cooking element control knob. The safety assembly includes a blocking plate disposed inside of a bezel assembly. The bezel assembly includes an outer bezel defining one or more angled camming surfaces, and an inner bezel. Rotation of the inner bezel with respect to the outer bezel about a rotational axis slides an ear of the blocking plate along the camming surface to effect movement of the blocking plate along the rotational axis between a raised position, in which the blocking plate restricts depression of a cooking element control knob, to a recessed position, in which the blocking plate facilitates depression of the control knob. The inner bezel is releasably locked from rotating with respect to the outer bezel, and engages the blocking plate to constrain the blocking plate against movement along the rotational axis when locked.Type: GrantFiled: October 21, 2011Date of Patent: May 7, 2013Assignee: Kidkusion, Inc.Inventors: Cynthia L. Bowen, Walter Lee Bowen

Patent number: 6807999Abstract: A retractable barrier particularly adapted to providing a readily viewable boundary across a pathway so that a child may be discouraged from wandering outside the safe zone established thereby. A main post assembly rotatably supports a net carrier for rotation about an axis. A net of substantial height is secured on one end to the net carrier and has a secondary post secured to the other end. A spring is disposed between a cap and an upper flange. The spring secures to the cap and engages the net carrier assembly to supply a retraction bias to the net carrier. A first ground sleeve is inserted in the ground and adapted to releasably engage the lower post mount. A second ground sleeve is inserted in the ground and adapted to releasably engage the second post. The barrier is moveable between a retracted configuration and a deployed configuration.Type: GrantFiled: August 29, 2003Date of Patent: October 26, 2004Assignee: KidKusion, Inc.Inventors: Walter Lee Bowen, Cynthia L.
