| 20100059344 | LIQUID LEVEL SENSOR - A vessel for accumulating water removed from a hydrocarbon fuel supply is disclosed. The vessel may include a base member and a cover cooperating with the base member to define a reservoir for receiving a liquid. The cover defines a pocket that may be integrally formed with the cover, the pocket generally preventing intrusion of the liquid in the reservoir. The vessel further includes a liquid level sensor, including a switch received in the pocket, and an actuator configured to activate the switch when the fluid within the reservoir reaches a predetermined level. | 03-11-2010 |
| 20100230212 | OIL PAN INTEGRATED WITH FILTER AND OTHER COMPONENTS - An oil pan assembly is disclosed that includes an oil filter, and an oil pan receiving the filter. The oil pan includes a reservoir defining a drain aperture for selectively draining fluid out of the oil pan, and a wall defining a filter cavity in fluid communication with a receiving passage and a sending passage of the oil pan. The oil pan further includes a filter cover assembly, including a cover securing the oil filter within the filter cavity, a filter drain tube extending from the cover through the filter cavity and into a drain passage, and a plug disposed on the filter drain tube, the plug selectively sealing the drain passage. The drain passage allows fluid communication between the filter cavity and the reservoir. The filter drain tube is configured to receive filtered oil from the oil filter. | 09-16-2010 |

| 20090199880 | MULTIPLE MANIFOLD SYSTEM FOR A ROLLOVER VEHICLE WASH SYSTEM - A vehicle washing system including a frame having an overhead section and a pair of generally opposing side support sections. The vehicle washing system includes an entrance and an exit side. The vehicle washing system also includes a plurality of rails that extend generally in the direction between the entrance side and the exit side. The frame linearly reciprocates along the plurality of rails to travel over a stationary vehicle. The frame has a first fluid dispensing device located in the half adjacent its entrance side and a second fluid dispensing device located adjacent its exit side. The first fluid dispensing device includes a plurality of manifolds each of which is in communication with a supply of fluid to apply fluid to the vehicle. The second fluid dispensing device includes a plurality of manifolds each of which is in communication with a supply of fluid to apply fluid to the vehicle. The vehicle washing system includes a control system that is in communication with each of the manifolds in the first fluid dispensing device and each of the manifolds of the second fluid dispensing device to selectively and independently control the type of fluid emitted from each of the manifolds and in what order during the vehicle cleaning process. | 08-13-2009 |
| 20090205150 | CAR WASH CLOTH ROLL ASSEMBLY - A cloth-type vehicle laundering implement includes a support mechanism consisting of a rotatable drive shaft and a plurality of generally parallel, adjacently arranged spacers mounted on the support mechanism. Each of the plurality of spacers includes a first face and a second face. The implement includes a plurality of individual circular fabric disk elements disposed between the first face of one of the plurality of spacers and the second face of another of the plurality of spacers. Each of the plurality of individual circular fabric disk elements extends outwardly beyond the spacers. Each of the individual circular fabric disk elements consists of a single piece of non-woven material having an inner diameter and an outer diameter. The inner diameter is retained in a single plane by a securing mechanism such that more material is located adjacent the inner diameter than the outer diameter to provide a more rigid element. The outer diameter and the inner diameter consist of substantially the same linear length of material. | 08-20-2009 |
| 20090205691 | HIGH PRESSURE ARCH FOR A VEHICLE WASH SYSTEM - A vehicle treatment apparatus for a vehicle cleaning system includes a frame structure having a pair of vertical side supports that are secured to the ground and are spaced apart from one another. The pair of vertical side supports have a generally horizontal treatment member extending therebetween. The horizontal treatment member has a first end and a second end and is configured to communicate with a vehicle that passes thereunder. Each of the pair of vertical side supports include a retention mechanism formed therein for engaging a respective one of the first end and the second end of the generally horizontal treatment member. The generally horizontal treatment member is in communication with a controller to allow substantially vertical movement within each of the retention mechanism from a home position to at least one lower position where it communicates with the vehicle. The generally horizontal treatment member is in communication with a sensor to monitor application of a force thereto. If the force applied to the generally horizontal treatment member is greater than a predetermined minimum acceptable force, the generally horizontal treatment member moves vertically upward to the home position and automatically repositions the end in the event the force applied to the horizontal treatment member is sufficient to dislodge the ends from their retention mechanism. | 08-20-2009 |
| 20100275459 | EXTENDABLE NOZZLE FOR A VEHICLE DRYING APPARATUS - A dryer nozzle for a drying unit in a vehicle wash system includes a nozzle portion for emitting high velocity air to an exterior surface of a vehicle passing thereunder. The nozzle portion has an inner nozzle section and an outer nozzle section. The inner nozzle section and the outer nozzle section being configured such that they can be positioned one inside the other during operation. At least one of the inner nozzle section or the outer nozzle section can be extended and retraced as directed towards or away from said the surface of the vehicle. | 11-04-2010 |

| 20090087521 | PARTICULATE FILLED EDIBLE PRODUCT AND PROCESS FOR MAKING - The subject invention relates to a particulate filled edible product and a method of making the particulate filled edible product. The edible product comprises an edible shell of dough that defines an enclosed cavity having a cavity volume. At least one edible food particulate is disposed within the cavity. The food particulate has a particulate volume that is less than the cavity volume and the at least one food particulate moves freely in the cavity. | 04-02-2009 |
| 20090087527 | SHREDDED READY-TO-EAT CEREAL WITH OATS - A method of producing cooked cereal grains containing a high level of whole oats for a shredded ready-to-eat cereal. The method begins by disposing a whole grain oat into a mixer. The whole grain oat has an exposed first starch. Next, a second whole grain is disposed into the mixer. The second whole grain has an exposed second starch that is different from the first starch. A third starch is disposed into the mixer to act as a binder of the whole grain oat and second whole grain. Water is added to the mixer to form a mixture that is cooked to form cooked cereal grains containing high levels of whole oats. The cooked grains are shredded and layered to form a shredded wheat-like biscuit. | 04-02-2009 |

| 20090301583 | SMALL ENGINE FUEL SYSTEM - A small engine fuel system includes a vent valve configured to be disposed within a tank having at least a portion of a filler pipe defined therein. The filler pipe includes an upper portion configured to receive a fluid and a lower portion located at a predetermined depth in the tank, where the predetermined depth defines a liquid fill level of the tank. The small engine fuel system further includes spring valve arranged in series with the vent valve. The spring valve is configured to close during a refilling event, thereby substantially preventing overfill of the tank with the fluid. | 12-10-2009 |
