  • Publication number: 20110209780
    Abstract: A variably tensionable check valve with a first end and a second end that includes a housing, a tension adjuster, a resiliently deformable elastic member, and a flow restriction member biased in a closed position. The housing includes a first portion, a second portion, and first and second passageways with a transition portion therebetween. The second portion includes at least one peripherally extending raised rib and a second internal passageway. The surface area of a cross-section of the first internal passageway is greater than the surface area of a cross-section of the second internal passageway. The tension adjuster, the elastic member, and the flow restriction member are located within the first internal passageway, wherein the tension adjuster secures the elastic member and the flow restriction member within the first internal passageway, and wherein rotational movement of the tension adjuster modifies the biasing force of the elastic member.

  • Patent number: 6283221
    Abstract: A carton for a portable two-component polyurethane foam spray kit has front and rear panels interconnected at their vertically extending ends with carton sides to form a rectangular opening closed at its bottom by bottom flaps. A top cover flap has valve openings allowing the kit user to open and close pressurized “A” and “B” polyurethane cylinders carried in the carton without opening the carton. The carton is carried by a strap secured to the cylinders extending through the top of the carton. A closeable, punch-out front flap formed as part of the front panel allows the kit hoses to be attached to the cylinders and the dispensing gun and stored for shipment and use within the carton between the cylinders and the front panel.
