  • Patent number: 9366563
    Abstract: A scale assembly for determining a weight and converted volume of fluid and gas withdrawn from a tank. A plurality of lift cylinders and cam linkages are arranged in paired and perimeter spaced fashion about a perimeter of the tank in extending fashion through an associated support flange. The cam linkages are normally biased in a first position to restrain the tank into contact with the support surface, the linkages being actuated in a second position to release the tank for subsequent elevation by the lift cylinders. A load cell is arranged in communication between each of the lift cylinders and the pallet support surfaces and, upon being recalibrated following tank elevation, measures the weight and converted volume of the delivered fluid.

  • Patent number: 5961243
    Abstract: A kit assembly for constructing an article of furniture and including a first plurality of vertically extending and elongate supports which are arranged in spaced apart fashion and a second plurality of horizontally extending and elongate cross members. Opposite ends of the elongate cross members are received within appropriately formed apertures in the vertically extending supports and additional apertures extend in cross wise and communicating fashion through the vertical supports as well as the inserted and aligning ends of the cross members. Bolt fasteners are inserted through the additional and cross wise extending apertures in both the selected vertical supports and cross members and an intermediate portion of each fastener includes an annular and outwardly angled step which, upon insertion of the bolt fastener, corresponds both in axial placement and annular dimension to an inward and angularly extending ledge of a spool shaped aperture in the cross member.

  • Patent number: 5550356
    Abstract: A food covering device for use with a microwave oven. The microwave oven has a door hingedly attached thereto and an interior which is defined by a top, sides and a bottom. The device includes a cover having a top and side wall which defines an open interior. The cover is suspended within the oven enclosure by a cord which attaches to the cover at one end and to the door of the oven at the other end. The cover is actuated from a first suspended position within the oven enclosure to a second position overlaying the bottom of the oven enclosure when the door is closed. A height adjuster is provided for adjusting the extent which the cover is actuated from the first to the second position. The cover overlays an item of food placed upon the bottom of the microwave interior when it is desirable to heat the item. The cover may also be adjusted solely at the height adjuster without the opening and closing motion of the door.
