  • Publication number: 20220233759
    Abstract: A spool valve for use in a hydraulic control circuit of a trans-anal irrigation device, with the spool valve including a valve body having an elongated bore and a plurality of ports spaced apart along and in fluid communication with the bore, and a spool that is movable within the bore. An actuator moves the spool relative to the bore to provide a hydraulic control circuit that directs fluid in a tubing set to provide at least fluid communication alternatively between a reservoir and a retention balloon, between and the reservoir and a main passage through a catheter, and between the retention balloon and the reservoir.

  • Patent number: 10308284
    Abstract: A system for wheel alignment is provided including adjustments to camber, toe, and thrust. A sleeve is fitted over the spindle of an axle. Rotation of the sleeve relative to the spindle provides for adjustments to wheel alignment while a locking feature such as e.g., a pin, is used to maintain the selected position of the sleeve relative to the spindle. The available positions of the sleeve Crelative to the spindle are predetermined in order to provide for discrete, known adjustments to the alignment of the wheel. Numerous positions can be provided based on the range and magnitude of adjustability selected.

  • Patent number: 10272729
    Abstract: A system for wheel alignment provides an indexable pair of washers in conjunction with a sleeve having non-concentric inner and outer surfaces that allow for adjustments to camber, toe, and thrust. The system can be retrofitted to existing axle systems using a sleeve that fits over the spindle of the axle. Rotation of the sleeve relative to the spindle provides for adjustment to wheel alignment. The indexable washers can be used to determine the precise amount of adjustment and fix the position of the sleeve once adjusted. The system can be implemented regardless of the circumferential position (i.e. azimuthal orientation) of a keyway or groove on the axle spindle that is typically used to lock the position of the axle nut.
