Patent number: 8539942Abstract: The stove has a fuel reservoir formed by a cylindrical canister. A stop valve is mounted at a top of the canister for regulating supply of fuel gas from the canister through a fuel passage to a burner head mounted on top of the stop valve. The fuel passage has an inlet in the canister and an outlet at the burner head and extends through the stop valve which is mounted in the fuel passage. The stop valve is a rotary valve controlled by a hand wheel which can be rotated by a user to move the stop valve between open and closed positions. An emergency shut-off valve is mounted at the inlet to the fuel passage and is operable when the stove is knocked over.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2008Date of Patent: September 24, 2013Inventors: Dermot Walsh, Michael Holton

Publication number: 20100299886Abstract: The zipper with removable slider includes two completely separable tooth rows each having opposite first and second end pins overlapping one another. The slider includes two tooth row passages extending therethrough, with an end pin receptacle overlying the tooth row passages. The tooth row passages accept passage of the two tooth rows therethrough and merge to selectively join or separate the tooth rows to form or separate the zipper chain, depending upon the direction of slider movement. The end pin receptacle accepts the end pins at adjacent ends of the first and second tooth rows, and selectively locks those end pins in place in the slider to secure the slider in position on the zipper assembly and hold the zipper closed. The slider may be completely removed from both tooth rows and the panels to which the tooth rows are attached may be separated, inverted or interchanged as desired.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 27, 2009Publication date: December 2, 2010Inventors: Eric Fodge, Bryce Hancock, Michael Holton, Nik Prawdzik

Publication number: 20090293198Abstract: The covering system includes a plurality of cover members having releasable fasteners disposed on the periphery of the cover members for forming a case or cover for a pillow, cushion, or other article, such as a laptop computer. The releasable fastener may be a zipper fastener in which each cover member has a stringer attached about its periphery and a slider that is not permanently attached to a cover member, but which is temporarily locked to the teeth assemblies of two cover members so that the cover members can be zipped to form a case for the article. The two cover members may have different designs, and a single cover member may have different decorative designs on opposite sides to form a reversible cover member. The covering system permits panels to be interchanged or reversed to provide the case with any desired decorative appearance.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 28, 2009Publication date: December 3, 2009Inventors: Eric Fodge, Bryce Hancock, Michael Holton, Nik Prawdzik
