  • Patent number: 7846573
    Abstract: A battery assembly may include a cooling system assembly having first and second battery modules and a coolant manifold in fluid communication therewith. The first battery module may include a first coolant flow path and the second battery module may include a second coolant flow path. The coolant manifold may include first and second ports and a main body portion to provide expansion and contraction between the first and second ports. The first port may be in communication with the first flow path and the second port may be in communication with the second flow path.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 6802491
    Abstract: A fluid quick connector in cartridge form carrying a shut off valve is mountable in a bore in a fluid charged use device. An end form retainer is mounted in the cartridge for locking an end form in a bore in the cartridge. The shut off valve is internally mounted within the cartridge to selectively open and close a flow path through the cartridge from the fluid use device to the end form.

  • Patent number: 6508269
    Abstract: A quick connector with a one-way flow valve includes a bearing cage mounted in a bore of a female component housing and supporting a tip end of a conduit lockingly held in the housing by a retainer. A projection extends from one end of the bearing cage and spaces a flow ball movably mounted in the housing bore at a first, flow permitting open position wherein flow paths between the male and female components are established around the exterior of the flow ball and between circumferentially spaced ribs formed in the housing and supporting the flow ball. The flow ball is automatically movable in response to a reverse direction acting fluid pressure differential to a second, flow-blocking position in sealing engagement with a valve seat formed in the housing bore to prevent reverse fluid flow through the connector.
