Patent number: 10337673Abstract: This invention is a mechanism enabling rapid manual opening and closing of a pressure vessel lid without using tools. A pressure vessel bears two circular mating rings welded to the adjacent rims of the vessel lid and shell respectively with the latter ring grooved to house an O-ring. These mating rings are externally tapered to match the internal tapers of a pair of semi-circular external clamping elements. The mechanism applies tension at the vessel perimeter to draw the external clamping elements radially inward, engaging male and female tapers with sufficient force to compress the O-ring and maintain static clamping of the pressurized lid and shell. Tension is produced by levered rotation of two diametrically-opposed slotted plates where cylindrical pins mounted on the ends of the external clamping elements ride in the plate slots and cam action applies mechanical advantage causing the pins to converge.Type: GrantFiled: May 1, 2015Date of Patent: July 2, 2019Inventor: Gordon Basil Hobbs

Patent number: 10337693Abstract: As lighting systems age the need for retrofits—namely where newer lighting technology is used to replace older or different technology, but where a direct replacement is not possible without some kind of modification to the rest of the lighting system—increases. The residential lighting retrofit market is well established with a one-for-one light source replacement approach that is widely embraced; for example, a table lamp with a failed incandescent bulb can be readily replaced with an LED bulb despite the disparate power requirements because of the onboard driver system, and this avoids having to modify the lamp itself, the outlet, incoming power, etc. No such solution exists for specialized lighting systems such as sports and wide area lighting systems. The present invention is directed to such a solution, and one which is cost effective, easy to implement, and customizable to meet the varying site requirements of such specialized systems.Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 2017Date of Patent: July 2, 2019Assignee: Musco CorporationInventors: Myron Gordin, Timothy A.

Patent number: 10337695Abstract: A lighting component may include a light emitting diode (LED) positioned on a printed circuit board assembly (PCBA), and a reflector positioned on the PCBA over the LED. The LED may be configured to emit an effective span of light which may pass through the reflector from a rearward opening to a forward opening of the reflector. The reflector may include a first region with one or more surfaces configured to subtend a first portion of the effective span of light. The reflector may include a second region with one or more first surfaces configured to subtend a second portion of the effective span and one or more second surfaces configured to subtend exterior light entering the forward opening back through the forward opening. The reflector may include a third region with one or more surfaces configured to subtend exterior light entering the forward opening back through the forward opening.Type: GrantFiled: October 26, 2016Date of Patent: July 2, 2019Assignee: JST Performance, LLCInventors: Edgar A.

Patent number: 10337696Abstract: An exemplary vehicle lens assembly includes, among other things, a transparent base and a transparent film. The transparent film includes a first layer and a second layer. The first layer is bonded directly to the transparent base. The second layer is polymethylmethacrylate-based and is more resistant to ultraviolet radiation than the first layer and the transparent base. An exemplary lens manufacturing method includes, among other things, coextruding a first layer having a first material composition together with a second layer having a second material composition to provide a transparent film. The method further includes bonding the first layer to a transparent base of a vehicle lighting lens. The second material composition is more resistant to ultraviolet radiation than the first material composition.Type: GrantFiled: September 22, 2017Date of Patent: July 2, 2019Assignee: Ford Global Technologies, LLCInventors: Richard H. Wykoff, II, Barry K. Loucks

Patent number: 10337700Abstract: A bolt locking structure for a waterproof LED lamp contains: a first casing and a second casing. The first casing includes multiple first protrusions and multiple first recesses which are arranged on each of four peripheral walls thereof respectively. The second casing includes multiple second protrusions and multiple second recesses which are arranged on each of four peripheral walls thereof respectively. The multiple first protrusions retain with the multiple second recesses, and the multiple first recesses retain with the multiple second protrusions. Multiple through holes are coaxial and form on each peripheral wall of each of the first casing and the second casing respectively, wherein each of the multiple through holes passes through each of the multiple first protrusions and the multiple second protrusions, such that each of multiple connection bolts inserts into the multiple through holes, thus locking the first casing and the second casing together.Type: GrantFiled: September 17, 2015Date of Patent: July 2, 2019Inventor: Feng Li
