  • Patent number: 10364774
    Abstract: A gaseous fuel introducer comprising a first mounting surface shaped and located to couple to a first wall of a charger; a first input, the first input being an air input; a second input, the second input being a gaseous fuel input; and a charge output. The charge output supplies a fuel-containing charge to an input of the charger. The introducer has a first mounting position that defines a first orientation of the second input relative to the charger. The introducer also has a second mounting position that defines a second orientation of the second input relative to the charger that is different than the first orientation.

  • Patent number: 8678530
    Abstract: A manifold receives and distributes insulating foam to an interior of a consumer appliance case. The manifold includes an inlet attachable to a source of insulating foam exterior to the consumer appliance case, at least two outlets disposed at different locations within the consumer appliance case, an inlet passageway leading from the inlet further into the consumer appliance case interior, and at least two outlet passageways, each outlet passageway providing communication between the inlet passageway and a respective one of the outlets. Insulating foam received by the inlet is distributed to the interior of the consumer appliance case via the inlet passageway, outlet passageways and outlets. Related foamed-in case designs and methods of foaming-in a case are also disclosed.
