Patent number: 7320146Abstract: An manual activation mechanism for an electronic flushometer system. A manual activation or override plate has a sensor switch directly coupled thereto and is hingedly connected to a sensor bracket. When a user presses the manual activation or override plate, the sensor switch acts against a bumper, which is compressed to create an electrical contact with a printed circuit board. The electrical contact results in the transmission of an electrical signal to a solenoid system, actuating a flushometer valve.Type: GrantFiled: May 12, 2005Date of Patent: January 22, 2008Assignee: Sloan Valve CompanyInventors: Richard A.

Patent number: 7124997Abstract: A toilet room flush valve includes a body with an inlet and an outlet and a valve seat therebetween. A valve assembly in the body is positioned to close upon the seat to control flow from the inlet to the outlet. A cover is mounted upon the body and defines a pressure chamber with the valve assembly. A bypass connects the inlet and the pressure chamber whereby pressure in the chamber maintains the valve assembly upon the seat. The pressure chamber may be vented to permit movement of the valve assembly toward the cover. The stroke of the valve assembly is limited by a volume regulator which is fixed to the cover and an adjustable microcontroller which is movable with the valve assembly and positioned to contact the volume regulator upon venting of the pressure chamber and consequent movement of the valve assembly.Type: GrantFiled: September 23, 2002Date of Patent: October 24, 2006Assignee: Sloan Valve CompanyInventors: John R. Wilson, Steven R. Oliver

Patent number: 7025227Abstract: A liquid soap dispenser includes a housing, a shank that engages a base of the housing, a soap path retainer disposed in the interior of the housing, a shank adapter disposed in the shank, and an infrared sensor to sense the presence of a user. A generally continuous passageway is defined through the shank adapter and the soap path retainer such that an elongated soap delivery tube of a liquid soap reservoir may be inserted through the passageway from the bottom of the soap dispenser to the spout end. The reservoir may be attached to the bottom end of the shank adapter. The soap path retainer is preferably formed of complementary halves, such as by plastic injection molding, that mate together to provide a curved passageway from near the base of the housing to the soap dispensing end and to support the sensor assembly.Type: GrantFiled: September 26, 2003Date of Patent: April 11, 2006Assignee: Sloan Valve CompanyInventors: Steven R.

Patent number: 6675827Abstract: A cap assembly for closing an access opening in a plumbing fitting includes a cap for rotatable attachment to the plumbing fitting, with the cap having an interior surface which faces the plumbing fitting. There is an elastomeric friction ring positioned between the cap interior surface and the plumbing fitting, which friction ring has a plurality of circumferentially spaced projections facing and in contact with the plumbing fitting. The projections are formed and adapted to require less torque when the cap is rotatably attached to the plumbing fitting than when said cap is rotatably removed from the plumbing fitting.Type: GrantFiled: April 9, 2002Date of Patent: January 13, 2004Assignee: Sloan Valve CompanyInventors: John R.
