  • Patent number: 11559924
    Abstract: Systems and methods for constructing concrete foundations are provided which allow for rapid and high-precision placement and alignment of anchor bolts across large distances. A frame system is constructed outside of an excavation and then suspended, using supports, over an excavation. The frame system can include a frame having one or more templates for anchor bolts, a form suspended from the frame, and a mat and cage assembly tied to the frame. The frame system can be aligned in proper position and the anchor bolts placed in the frame system before the concrete is placed. In this way, the anchor bolts can be cast in place as the footing is placed.

  • Patent number: 9302827
    Abstract: A dispensing cap unit for use on a liquid container which permits a smooth flow of liquid out of the container when the container is rapidly inverted. The dispensing cap unit includes an air vent passage located inside the outer wall of the unit and is separated from the liquid flow path by a partition wall which terminates short of the lower end of the outer wall. A baffle element extends across the air vent passage adjacent to the end of the partition wall to define, with the end of the partition wall, an air vent passage outlet port which is oriented so that liquid is not likely to flow into the air vent passage via the air vent passage outlet port.

  • Patent number: 5749756
    Abstract: A crimped terminal (or splice) has a housing (10) including a barrel (11) receiving an insert sleeve (13). The barrel (11) has a lug (12) received in a complementary notch (14) formed in the insert sleeve (13), thereby circumferentially keying the insert sleeve (13) to the barrel (11), preventing relative rotation therebetween, and reinforcing the housing (10) during the crimping process. This eliminates cracking of the housing (10) during crimping while improving heat dissipation.
