Bryan Higgs, Hengoed Mid Glamorgan GB

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090114869BUTTERFLY VALVE - A triple offset butterfly valve includes a valve body defining a valve orifice and a valve member rotatably mounted in the valve orifice. The valve member includes a disc element detachably mounted to a mounting plate; the valve member being mounted to a rotatable axle which extends between the disc element and mounting plane thereof. The valve body has an annular valve seat against which the disc element of the valve member seals when the valve is closed. In use, when the valve components become worn, the disc element of the valve member can easily be removed as a complete unit and replaced. In this manner, the need for a removable seal on the valve member is avoided, which reduces the number of potential leak paths as compared to known butterfly valves.05-07-2009

20090235548TILE SPACER AND HOLDER THEREFOR - A tile spacer for a plurality of tiles arranged on the surface with spaces in between. The tile spacer has a first set of elongate members, each having a proximal end and a distal end. The proximal ends are connected together and the distal ends are spaced-apart for setting the spaces between the tiles. The spacer has a body having a portion which is spaced-apart above the tiles when the distal ends of the members are fitted within the spaces between the tiles, thereby facilitating removal of the spacer when tile spacing is completed.09-24-2009
20100088912TILE SPACER AND HOLDER THEREFOR - The present invention relates to a removable tile spacer for enabling even spacing between a first tile and a second tile that are perpendicular to each other. The second tile has an end opposite the first tile. The removable tile spacer includes a first elongate member interposable between the first tile and the end of the second tile to provide spacing between the first tile and the second tile. The tile spacer includes a body. The first elongate member is connected to and extends away from the body at an angle relative to the body such that the body has at least a portion which is spaced-apart from both the first tile and the second tile when the first elongate member is interposed between the first tile and the end of the second tile. This thereby facilitates removal of the tile spacer when tile spacing is completed.04-15-2010

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20110140496HINGE ASSEMBLY - There is disclosed herein a hinge assembly comprising a mandrel having a longitudinal axis. A first arm is rotationally fixed relative to the mandrel and extends from one end of the mandrel generally transverse to the longitudinal axis. A second arm is rotatably connected relative to the mandrel about the longitudinal axis and extends from the opposite end of the mandrel generally transverse to the longitudinal axis. A coil spring is sleeved over and snugly surrounds the mandrel. Relative rotation of the first arm and the second arm in an opposite direction tightens the spring around the mandrel. Tightening of the spring generates resistance to relative rotation of the first arm and the second arm.06-16-2011
