Patent number: 5554012Abstract: An air controller for an air pump capable of simply regulating the air delivery rate of the air pump. In an air pump including an electromagnetic driving mechanism 11, 13, 14, a magnet 17 carried on the tip of an arm 16, and a diaphragm 18 connected to the intermediate portion of the arm, the magnet being reciprocated by an electromagnetic action exerted between the electromagnetic driving mechanism and the magnet, the intake and discharge action being effected by the expansion and contraction of the diaphragm, the improvement lies in that the electromagnetic driving mechanism is mounted on a housing in such a manner that it is capable of advancing and retreating with respect to the magnet, whereby the advancement and retreat of the electromagnetic driving mechanism will cause the distance between the core 13 and magnet 17 and hence the reciprocating rate of the magnet to change, thus accomplishing the change of the air delivery rate.Type: GrantFiled: July 6, 1995Date of Patent: September 10, 1996Assignee: Nihon Doubutsu Yakuhin KabushikigaisyaInventor: Tsuyoshi Itakura

Patent number: 5052904Abstract: An aquarium air pump includes an electromagnetic motor-operated pump unit positioned in the housing of the pump and including two vibrating arms energized by the motor and each carrying a pump diaphragm forming with a closure member of the pump unit casing a pump chamber. Each vibrating arm is positioned on the casing to be pivoted to an operative position to close the respective closure member and a non-operative position in which the arm can be removed from the casing and interchanged. The pump housing includes a bottom part and a top part connectable to each other and sealed in the connected position by a peripheral seal. Cushioning cups support the pump unit in the pump housing to absorb vibrations.Type: GrantFiled: August 17, 1990Date of Patent: October 1, 1991Assignees: Itakura Soki, Allan H. Willinger, Bros.Inventors: Tsuyoshi Itakura, Allan H. Willinger

Patent number: 4886093Abstract: A vent valve of an air pump typically utilized in an aquarium apparatus. The vent valve includes a wall member with a vent hole in the wall member. A valve body having a flap member closes onto the vent hole. The closure action of the flap member is regulated so that the flap is twisted under the force of air flowing through the vent hole in a direction toward the flap member and returns to a closed position against the wall member with a rolling sidewise fold-down motion when an air flow lessens. In this manner, there is a reduction in the flapping noise of the valve.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 1988Date of Patent: December 12, 1989Assignees: Itakura Soki, Brothers, Inc. WillingerInventors: Tsuyoshi Itakura, Allan H. Willinger

Patent number: 4315143Abstract: An aquarium heater including a housing and a tube depending therefrom. An electric heating element is disposed in the bottom portion of the tube and a thermostatic control chassis is disposed in the upper portion of the tube. The control chassis includes two opposing housing sections matingly engaged in a nesting relationship to form a cylindrical housing unit which snugly fits into the tube and supports a bimetallic thermostatic switch together with associated circuitry and lead wires such that the thermostatic circuit elements are maintained securely positioned within the tube. The housing includes a gasket situated between a lip of the tube and the bottom wall of the housing, and a locking ring which clamps the rim of the tube in place. The tube is thereby held securely to the housing independently of the control chassis.Type: GrantFiled: October 27, 1980Date of Patent: February 9, 1982Inventors: Allan H. Willinger, Tsuyoshi Itakura

Patent number: 4301767Abstract: A holding clamp for suspending an aquarium heater from the top of an aquarium frame. The clamp includes a bracket having a universal throat which can accommodate different sized frames. The clamp comprises an L-shaped bracket with a retaining member slidably associated with each of the legs of the bracket. Each retaining member defines an adjustable throat size with the opposing leg of the bracket. A locking device is situated on the clamp for securing the clamp to the frame with the retaining members positioned to accommodate the particular frame size. A holder connected to the bracket supports the aquarium heater from the frame and permits the aquarium heater to be suspended into the water.Type: GrantFiled: March 10, 1980Date of Patent: November 24, 1981Inventors: Allan H. Willinger, Tsuyoshi Itakura
