20110204051 | INTERLOCKING CONTAINERS - A storage container system including a plurality of containers of various sizes and having interlocking features for minimizing shipping and storage space for the containers. Each container has an open interior, a top surface, a bottom surface, a front surface, a rear surface, and two side surfaces. A closure device is disposed on the top surface of the container for allowing access to the open interior of the container, and the bottom surface defines a bottom indent pocket for interlocking with the closure device of another container. A handle is disposed on the front surface of the container, and the rear surface defines a rear indent pocket for interlocking with the handle of another container. | 08-25-2011 |

20130152559 | TAILPIPE COLLAR - An exhaust system for a vehicle may include a tailpipe and a collar. The tailpipe may be adapted to receive exhaust gas from an internal combustion engine and may include an outlet. The collar may include an inner surface, an outer surface, an air-inlet, and an air-outlet. The inner surface may be radially spaced apart from the tailpipe and may at least partially surround the outlet of the tailpipe. The inner and outer surfaces may be shaped to form a profile that causes a first air-flow to accelerate upon flowing between the inner surface and the tailpipe to a first velocity that is faster than a second velocity of a second air-flow. The second air-flow may be flowing adjacent the outer surface and radially outward relative to the outer surface. | 06-20-2013 |
20130152796 | FLUID AERATION-REDUCTION SYSTEM - A separator may include a body, an inlet portion, and an outlet conduit. The body may include a conical interior surface defining a conical cavity. The cavity may have a first outlet at a tip of the body. The inlet portion may be connected to the body and may include an outer surface, a cylindrical inner surface, and a first inlet passage extending between the outer surface and the inner surface. The inner surface may be defined by the longitudinal axis. The first inlet passage may be positioned relative to the inner surface such that a fluid flow through the first inlet passage is generally tangent to the inner surface. The outlet conduit may extend through the inlet portion and into the cavity. The outlet conduit may include a second inlet passage disposed inside of the cavity and a second outlet disposed outside of the body and the inlet portion. | 06-20-2013 |
20130153198 | FLUID SYSTEM AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING FLUID FLOW FOR AN INTERCOOLER - A fluid system for an intercooler has a fill level defining a maximum volume of liquid in the fluid system, a main fluid circuit and a secondary fluid volume. The main fluid circuit includes the intercooler, and one or more passages through which fluid is circulated with operation of the engine, and at least a portion of the main fluid circuit is located above the fill level. The secondary fluid volume has at least a portion located below the fill level that communicates with the main fluid circuit to receive liquid from the main fluid circuit at least when the engine is not operating to drain at least some of the liquid from the portion of the main fluid circuit that is located above the fill level. This reduces the volume of liquid that remains above the fill level when the engine is not operating. | 06-20-2013 |

20090033168 | Load Generating Encoder Wheel - A shaft assembly, includes an elongated shaft and a flywheel mounted to an end of the shaft. An encoder is mounted to the shaft and includes an annular support ring having a radially inwardly extending portion and an axially extending portion extending from a radially outer end of the radially inwardly extending portion. The radially inwardly extending portion defines a spring section which is compressed between the flywheel and the end of the shaft, and an encoder material is disposed on the axially extending portion of the annular support ring. | 02-05-2009 |
20100244390 | Lip Seal With Inversion Prevention Feature - A dynamic shaft seal assembly is provided including a dynamic seal for engaging a rotary shaft. The dynamic seal includes a mounting portion that is mounted within a casing and has an axially extending barrel portion extending from a radially inner end of the mounting portion. The axially extending barrel portion terminates in a radially extending leg portion which extends inwardly from an end of the axially extending portion. A generally conically shaped seal portion extends from an end of the radially extending portion and the seal portion includes a radially inner face engaging the shaft and a radially outer face having a stiffening bead integrally formed thereon. The mounting portion defines a bumper spaced from the axially extending barrel portion by a gap distance that is designed to prevent the seal lip from inverting under sustained high pressure or pressure spikes. | 09-30-2010 |
20100295252 | Two-Piece Valve Stem Seal - A valve stem seal utilizes a multi-piece construction to reduce the required manufactured tolerances and/or improve the stress handling capabilities. The valve stem seal can include a first member or can which can be assembled to a second member or spring seat. The can and/or spring seat can have a plurality of axially extending resilient fingers that are biased such that when assembled the fingers are bent against the bias due to the engagement between the can and the spring seat. The fingers on the spring seat allow the spring seat to bend or move relative to the can to accommodate the loading of a valve spring on the spring seat. The use of resilient fingers on the can and/or the spring seat reduces the manufacturing tolerances required for the valve stem seal. | 11-25-2010 |

20130032118 | Low Profile Valve Stem Seal In Cylinder Head - A valve stem seal assembly in an internal combustion engine includes a cylinder head including an aperture therein in communication with a cylinder bore and a recessed pocket surrounding the aperture. A valve guide is received in the aperture and a valve stem is received in the valve guide. A valve seal support includes a radially outwardly extending flange disposed against a surface of the cylinder head external to the recessed pocket and a cylindrical body that extends into the recessed pocket. A valve spring contacts the flange and a resilient seal is secured to the rigid valve seal support and in sealing engagement with the valve stem. | 02-07-2013 |
20140021687 | Lip Seal With Inversion Prevention Feature - A dynamic shaft seal assembly is provided including a dynamic seal for engaging a rotary shaft. The dynamic seal includes a mounting portion that is mounted within a casing and has an axially extending barrel portion extending from a radially inner end of the mounting portion. The axially extending barrel portion terminates in a radially extending leg portion which extends inwardly from an end of the axially extending portion. A generally conically shaped seal portion extends from an end of the radially extending portion and the seal portion includes a radially inner face engaging the shaft and a radially outer face having a stiffening bead integrally formed thereon. The mounting portion defines a bumper spaced from the axially extending barrel portion by a gap distance that is designed to prevent the seal lip from inverting under sustained high pressure or pressure spikes. | 01-23-2014 |
