Patent number: 8475140Abstract: A compressor may include a shell, first and second scroll members, and a first annular seal. The first scroll member may be supported within the shell and may include a first end plate having a first spiral wrap extending from a first surface thereof and a second surface having an annular groove therein. The annular groove may include a first portion having a first depth and a second portion disposed radially inwardly relative to the first portion and having a second depth that is less than the first depth. The second scroll member may be supported within the shell and may include a second end plate having a second spiral wrap extending therefrom and meshingly engaged with the first spiral wrap. The first annular seal may be positioned within the annular groove.Type: GrantFiled: May 18, 2007Date of Patent: July 2, 2013Assignee: Emerson Climate Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Stephen M. Seibel, Michael M. Perevozchikov, Norman Beck

Publication number: 20060204380Abstract: The present invention provides the art with a scroll machine which has a plurality of built-in volume ratios along with their respective design pressure ratios. The incorporation of more than one built-in volume ratio allows a single compressor to be optimized for more than one operating condition. The operating envelope for the compressor will determine which of the various built-in volume ratios is going to be selected. Each volume ratio includes a discharge passage extending between one of the pockets of the scroll machine and the discharge chamber. All but the highest volume ration utilize a valve controlling the flow through the discharge passage.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 16, 2006Publication date: September 14, 2006Inventors: Stephen Seibel, Michael Perevozchikov, Norman Beck

Patent number: 4621622Abstract: An apparatus for entertainment, therapeutic or other purposes is provided. It has a plurality of frame elements and cooperating pivotable elements which define a closed loop having universal joint features. A pair of exterior framing elements may have a pair of axles through which a pair of pivotal elements are secured in such a manner that the pivotable elements will rotate about a first axle on a first framing element and about a second axle on a second framing element. The pivotable elements may assume a geometric shape such as being spherical. The closed loop preferably has at least six framing elements.Type: GrantFiled: April 12, 1985Date of Patent: November 11, 1986Inventor: Norman Beck
