  • Patent number: 9352622
    Abstract: A rotary transmission leadthrough as part of a vehicle tire pressure regulating system, comprising a rotor structural group that can be connected in a torque-connected manner to a shaft of the vehicle which supports a wheel, and a stator structural group stationarily mounted opposite the rotary movement of the rotor structural group. A sealable conduit between the rotor structural group and the stator structural group is a path for transferring gas from the stator structural group to the rotor structural group and/or the inverse to regulate tire pressure. The rotor structural group is multipartite. A first rotor part is a closed annular body that can be pushed on the vehicle shaft. A second rotor part mounted axially to the first rotor part and connected to it in a torque-connected manner is designed as a tensioning ring for connecting the rotor structural group to the vehicle shaft in a torque-connected manner.

  • Patent number: 7082628
    Abstract: A disposable solid waste detainment plumbing trap. The trap has a container for collecting water and solid waste discharged from a sink through a line threadably connected to an inlet of the container, and for discharging water through an outlet threadably connected to a waste line. It has a lid which seals the container, and a valve for venting either air or water from the container, to relieve the pressure of air trapped in the container. Using this disposable trap, solid waste from a sink can be quickly and easily collected and disposed of without spilling of or contact with water or the solid waste.

  • Patent number: 6845527
    Abstract: An in-the-wall plumbing trap having integral connections for waste and vent lines wherein in the vent connection is located on the top of the trap housing and the waste connection on the bottom thereof. A substantially vertical wall formed by an overflow member separates the housing interior into two chambers with a liquid seal chamber located beneath a waste intake line and a separation chamber disposed on the other side of the overflow member. Effluent waste entering the liquid seal chamber builds up until reaching the top of the overflow member where it then spills over into the separation chamber and any gases contained therein rise to the top of the housing and escape through the vent line as the fluid flows to the bottom of the separation chamber and exits through the drain pipe.
