Merle L. Kemp has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 6223416
    Abstract: A dynamoelectric machine constructed for speed and accuracy of manufacturing has a stator core constructed of 90° symmetrical stator laminations and the windings have differing numbers of poles which overlap in slots of the stator core are wound of the core formed by the laminations in unique fashion. The rotor bars of the machine are skewed to optimize performance of the machine when in the form of a single phase induction motor. Magnet wire leads of the windings are connected directly to terminals on a plug and terminal assembly which is formed for positive location on an end frame of the machine without welding or other fastening to the end frame. The end frames of the machine and stator laminations forming the stator core are formed so as to increase the precision of the final position of the stator relative to the rotor assembly of the dynamoelectric machine. The end frames are constructed for grounding without the use of fasteners or wire.

  • Patent number: 4993267
    Abstract: An electric transducer has a casing with a plurality of walls defining a pair of chambers, and one of the walls interposed between the chambers defines a diaphragm for deflection in response to fluid pressure in one of the chambers. A strain gauge disposed on the one wall in the other of the chambers spans the diaphragm for conjoint deflection therewith to establish an output voltage correlative with the diaphragm deflection, and an electronic amplifier in the other chamber is connected in circuit relation with the strain gauge for amplifying the output voltage.

  • Patent number: 4918833
    Abstract: A method of assembling an electronic transducer having a dielectric casing member, a strain gauge, a metallic casing member including at least one wall in part defining an integral flexible diaphragm, and an electronic device including a plurality of solid state components. In this method, the strain gauge is bonded to the at least one wall spanning across the diaphragm so as to be at least in part conjointly flexible with the diaphragm. The electronic device is disposed in superposed spaced apart relation and in circuit relation with the strain gauge, and the strain gauge and the electronic device are enclosed between the dielectric casing member and the metallic casing member.

  • Patent number: 4393359
    Abstract: Integral posts on the molded base limit rotation of a lower contact carrier, and a contact guide limits rotation of an upper contact carrier, the carriers being spring biased for slidable movement on a lifter post attached to the armature of the relay.

  • Patent number: 4361354
    Abstract: A stop member is hingedly mounted to a base member which clips onto a vehicle license plate of the type which is pivotably mounted to a vehicle and functions as an external cover which hides the usual fuel tank cap and fill port. After the license plate has been swung into an open position the stop member can be pivoted from an inoperative position, wherein it lies parallel to the rear face of the license plate, to an operative position wherein it lies in a plane perpendicular to that of the license plate and abuts the rear wall of the vehicle to hold the plate in a open position.
