Outrigged Rigid Panel, With Flexible Panel Sides Patents (Class 160/20)
  • Patent number: 7168759
    Abstract: A sunshade for an infant car seat or similar which is held in position by inserting a rear panel between the car seat and the vehicle seat on which it rests. A top panel, flexibly connected to the rear panel extends forward over the car seat to provide shade. Side panels extend downward from the sides of the top panel to provide increased protection. An optional front flap extends downward from the front edge of the top panel at an adjustable angle to further increase the level of protection. The side panels may be individually folded up and over the top panel to a stored position when not needed. The top and side panels can be folded upward and rearward as a unit to improve access to the car seat. Optional lengthwise creases in the side panels allow them to be folded into a more compact size to decrease the clearance necessary around the car seat in order to move the side panels between their stored and deployed positions.

  • Patent number: 3949812
    Abstract: A fire extinguishing system includes a container of extinguishing agent and a valve for controlling the discharge of the extinguishing agent. The discharge control valve is opened and closed by a pneumatic cylinder operated by pressurized gas through a solenoid-actuated directional control valve. The solenoid of the directional control valve is coupled with a pneumatic timing relay actuated by a temperature sensor. With this arrangement, a pre-determined amount of extinghishing agent is discharged from the container and delivered to the hazard area and then the discharge shut-off. The discharge cycle is repeated, if necessary, until the fire is extinguished. The system is then automatically reset and ready to deliver further extinguishing agent on demand. The system also includes manual or automatic means for purging the delivery line downstream of the discharge control valve.
