Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090288722Double Check Back Flow Prevention Device - A double check valve is provided that includes an in-line inlet check valve and an outlet check valve that cooperate to prevent back flow of fluid through the valve. The check valve also includes at least one vent that allows for fluid trapped within the check valve to drain, thereby preventing freezing of the check valve and hydrant to which it is interconnected. The check valve provided omits many superfluous components and thus is smaller and easier to install than check valves of the prior art.11-26-2009
20100037392CABLE ACTUATED DRAIN - An improved drain actuates system that includes a cable to actuate a head or stopper of a drain. More specifically, one end of the cable is associated with the drain without additional moving parts and another end of the cable associated with an overflow cap of an overflow system wherein rotation of the overflow cap selectively moves the cable to move the head of the drain. The internal components associated with the overflow end of the cable that allow it to actuate the drain are fully accessible through the overflow port of the plumbing system.02-18-2010
20100229961Outdoor Wall Hydrant Employing Plastic Tubing - A hydrant is provided that employs a pipe interconnected to a faucet assembly. The pipe is constructed of a material that is resistant to detrimental affects of corrosion and pitting. Corrosion and pitting of pipes made of copper, as opposed to the plastic material employed, tends to erode a portion of the outlet pipe circumferentially such that if the pipe is later exposed to expansive effects of ice, the pipe could burst, thereby causing damage to the dwelling.09-16-2010
20110000014CABLE ACTUATED DRAIN - An improved drain actuates system that includes a cable to actuate a head or stopper of a drain. More specifically, one end of the cable is associated with the drain without additional moving parts and another end of the cable associated with an overflow cap of an overflow system wherein rotation of the overflow cap selectively moves the cable to move the head of the drain. The internal components associated with the overflow end of the cable that allow it to actuate the drain are fully accessible through the overflow port of the plumbing system.01-06-2011
20110154563Drain Closure Device - A drain closure device is provided that allows a user to selectively open or close the drain closure device to permit or restrict the flow of water therethrough. The drain closure is comprised of a strainer body which houses an insert. The insert has a plurality of openings. A cap is mounted to the insert that has a plurality of openings, which upon rotation of the cap relative to the insert selectively align with the openings on the insert to allow fluid flow from a tub or sink.06-30-2011
20110220208Sanitary Hydrant - A freeze resistant sanitary hydrant is provided that employs a reservoir for storage of fluid under the frost line or in an area not prone to freezing. To evacuate this reservoir, a venturi is provided that is able to function in hydrant systems that employ a vacuum breaker.09-15-2011
20110220221Mounting System for Hot and Cold Wall Faucets - A system for interconnecting a faucet assembly to a wall member is provided that employs a mounting bracket for interconnection to the wall member. The mounting bracket is configured to accommodate various configurations of faucets with any number of fluid delivery tubes. The mounting system provides structural rigidity to the faucet/building interconnection while minimizing occupation of interior wall space.09-15-2011

20090084919SLIDING BOLLARD BRACKET MOUNT - A mount for attaching a sign to a support structure includes a brace having a web and transversely extending first and second flanges each having a plurality of apertures, individual ones of the apertures of both the first and second flanges being coaxially aligned. A bracket includes a bracket web and transversely extending first and second bracket flanges. The first and second bracket flanges are slidably received between the first and second brace flanges. The first and second bracket flanges have elongated apertures with individual ones of the elongated apertures of both the first and second bracket flanges being coaxially aligned. A releasable mounting configuration includes a fastener inserted through individual ones of the elongated apertures which are coaxially aligned with individual apertures of both the first and second flanges. A flexible strap connected to the bracket fixedly connects the mount to a bollard post.04-02-2009
20090230266Universally Mountable Bollard Bracket - A bracket for attaching an advertising unit to a support structure includes a metal plate having multiple cavities. A first bite member extends into a first cavity and is oriented to engage the support structure in a first bracket orientation when the support structure is received in the first cavity. A second bite member extends into a second cavity and is oriented parallel to the first bite member. The second bite member engages the support structure in the first bracket orientation when the support structure is also received in the second cavity. A third bite member extends into a third cavity and is oriented to engage the support structure in a second bracket orientation. A fourth bite member extends into the third cavity and is oriented parallel to and oppositely facing the third bite member. The third and fourth bite members engage the support structure in the second bracket orientation.09-17-2009
