Inventors:

Walter Kovacs - Orange CA

Assignee:

Anaheim Manufacturing Company - Anaheim CA

International Classification:

B02C 2500

US Classification:

241 36

Abstract:

A waste disposer safety device comprises a first member positionable adjacent access to a waste disposer and a second member with access restriction, the first and second members being rotatable with respect with one another to achieve an "off" position and an "on" position whereby in the "on" position, in which operation of the waste disposer is enabled, there is no hazardous access to the grinding chamber thereof, and an "off" position in which the second member can be removed for access to the grinding chamber whereby in that position the grinder motor is inoperable. Switches for accomplishing the on/off condition of the first member and second member and of the waste disposer may be electromechanical or magnetic, among other types of switches.

Appl. No.:

5/879442

Inventors:

Walter B. Kovacs - Orange CA

Assignee:

Mid-West Conveyor Company, Inc. - Kansas City KS

International Classification:

B65G 1302

US Classification:

198780

Abstract:

A conveyor stop structure arrests the forward motion of a selected article carried by a belt driven live roller conveyor and simultaneously disengages an associated roller from powered engagement with the belt. The stop structure includes a stop connected to conveyor frame members for upward pivotal movement, and a roller contacting cam for raising a selected roller from powered engagement with the belt. The stop has an angled lower portion which receives a bottom leading edge of the article and lifts at least the bottom leading edge from contact with another roller as the article swings the stop rearwardly and upwardly.

International Classification:

B67D 506

US Classification:

222192

Abstract:

A combined air gap and dispensing device is adapted to be mounted on a sink, and comprises an internal air gap between inlet and outlet waste tubes. A liquid carrying pipe, such as a hot water pipe, also extends through the device to a faucet for being dispensed. A pair of fiber optic cables have exposed ends at the upper end of the device, and are coupled to a control system for valving liquid to the dispensing pipe. The control circuit may include a light source directed to one of the fiber optic cables, a photo sensor connected to the fiber optic cable to receive reflected light, and amplifying and demodulating circuitry, as well as a logic circuit responsive to determined conditions at the upper ends of the fiber optic cables for controlling the flow of liquid to the dispensing pipe. A pneumatic tube and pneumatic actuator may be provided instead of the optic cables and associated optic devices.
