| 20090038311 | Outer Sidewall Retention Scheme For A Singlet First Stage Nozzle - An outer sidewall retention scheme for a singlet first stage nozzle of a gas turbine. The retention scheme includes a circumferential retaining ring with a main body and a pair of circumferential retaining lands projecting inward radially. A circumferential annular retaining groove is formed between the pair of circumferential retaining lands. A first lug and a second lug mounted on an outer face of the outer sidewall of each nozzle are adapted to fit within the circumferential annular retaining groove of the retaining ring and are supported radially and circumferentially by a first retaining pin and a second retaining pin, each pin passing though the circumferential retaining lands. Each nozzle further includes a chordal hinge rail and seal on the outer sidewall and a chordal hinge rail and seal on the inner sidewall providing axial support for the nozzle. | 02-12-2009 |
| 20090110479 | FULLY CONTAINED RETENTION PIN FOR A TURBINE NOZZLE - A retention pin for fastening retaining lugs of an outer sidewall, of a turbine nozzle, within a groove between a forward land and an aft land of a retaining ring. The retention pins fit through coaxial holes in the lug and the lands, securing the radial and circumferential location of the nozzles as well as allowing transitional motion. While maintaining limited contact with both the nozzles and the retaining ring they significantly reduce conductive heat transfer from the nozzle to the retaining ring. By positioning the nozzles, they also set the desired nozzle throat areas for targeted turbine performance. The pins have been designed such that the nozzle cannot disengage within the assembly due to the pin backing out of its nominal axial position, and the pin will not fail due to low cycle fatigue, creep, or yielding, all of which prevent nozzle fallout. | 04-30-2009 |

| 20090152376 | Fluid-handling device with multiple elastic bladders - A fluid-handling device, such as a lawn-and-garden water sprayer, includes a plurality of elastic bladders that are filled via a common manifold. To ensure that all the bladders can be filled without one bladder over expanding or emptying into another one, the fluid-handling device includes a plurality of limit valves in one-to-one correspondence with the plurality of bladders. When filling the bladders, the limit valves are open to convey fluid from the manifold to the bladders. In some examples of the invention, each individual limit valve will close automatically in response to its respective bladder having reached a predetermined expanded length. | 06-18-2009 |
| 20090152379 | Limit valve for an elastic bladder - A portable watering device includes a resiliently expandable bladder and a limit valve that prevents the bladder from being overfilled. A string or some other flexible elongate actuator is disposed within the bladder and is used to pull the limit valve between an open and closed position. In some embodiments, the limit valve is a fill-and-discharge valve that is normally open, but the string pulls the valve closed when the bladder reaches a predetermined expanded state. In other embodiments, the limit valve is a volume-release valve that is normally closed, but the string pulls the valve open to release excess fluid when the bladder reaches the predetermined expanded state. A pulling action, rather than a pushing action, actuates the limit valve so that the valve and actuator can be completely contained within the interior of watering device rather than be exposed on the exterior of the device. | 06-18-2009 |
| 20090217790 | Universal adjustable wrench with tactile snap action - An adjustable wrench for gripping hexagonal and other shaped heads includes two slightly non-parallel jaw faces, wherein one face is smoother than the other. The angle between the two jaw faces is extremely shallow to create a “snap-action” geometry. Combining that geometry with jaw faces of unequal roughness can result in a desirable binding action that causes the wrench to tightly grip the head. In some cases, the wrench will continue clinging to the head even after the user releases the handle of the wrench. | 09-03-2009 |
