Timed Water Control Shower Valve, System And Method

US Patent:
5402812, Apr 4, 1995
Filed:
Jun 20, 1994
Appl. No.:
8/262553
Inventors:
Hubert J. Moineau - Bolton MA
Alve Erickson - Milford NH
John S. Howland - Danville NH
Assignee:
Automatic Specialties, Inc. - Marlboro MA
International Classification:
B05B 130, F16K 3148
US Classification:
137 1
Abstract:
A timed water control valve system for use with a shower, which comprises a valve body within a housing having a water flow passage with a water inlet for a source of water and a water outlet for a device to dispense water, which water flow is to be time controlled. The valve body includes first, second and third spool passageways, with the three spools therein tensionally positioned in their respective spool passageways and adapted to move slidably between a water flow position and a non-water flow position. A timer having a rotatable shaft is connected to a knob which on rotatable movement activates the timer to a preselected water flow time period for the flow of water. The knob is also moved between an inward, water non-activated position and an outward, water activated position; first and second cams about the shaft and between the timer and knob permit the rotation of the knob. A third spool can be selectedly moved slidably between a position to interrupt the preselected water flow time period of the timer and a timer non-stop position; and the first and second cams are arranged so that the user cannot select an additional selected water flow time period until the first cam is placed by the timer in a selected cam alignment with the second cam. A color coded timing indicator extends outwardly from the housing and is connected to the first cam to indicate the water flow condition within the water control valve apparatus.

Stove For Burning Combustible Solid Fuels

US Patent:
4404953, Sep 20, 1983
Filed:
May 4, 1981
Appl. No.:
6/260092
Inventors:
Robert D. Thulman - Columbia MD
Alve J. Erickson - Milford NH
International Classification:
F24C 114
US Classification:
126 77
Abstract:
A stove (10) for burning combustible solid fuels (64) comprising an enclosed firebox (16), a baffle (54) dividing the firebox into a lower combustion chamber (18) and an upper chamber (20) spaced from the front wall (36,46) of the firebox to permit combustion gases to flow from the combustion chamber into the upper chamber, a door (24) for facilitating introduction of solid fuel into the combustion chamber, an outlet flue (48) communicating with the upper chamber for withdrawing combustion gases from the firebox, a viewing window (38) in a wall of the firebox for enabling the fire to be viewed without opening the door of the firebox, an air inlet (72) for admitting a flow of air into the firebox and means (84) for splitting a flow of air admitted through the air inlet into first and second portions and for directing the first portion toward the bottom of the combustion chamber and the second portion into a stream of hot combustion gases passing from the combustion chamber to the upper chamber; a shroud ( 50) spaced from the back wall (60) of the firebox for preventing radiant heat transfer rearwardly of the stove and for directing a flow of fan forced air across the hot top and side walls (42,44,48) of the firebox to increase convective heat transfer and an air injection conduit (104) communicating between the space between the shroud and the back wall of the firebox and the bottom of the combustion chamber for introducing fan forced additional combustion air into the combustion chamber.

Wood Stove With Safety Forced Air System

US Patent:
4342306, Aug 3, 1982
Filed:
Aug 16, 1979
Appl. No.:
6/067202
Inventors:
Robert D. Thulman - Columbia MD
Alve J. Erickson - Milford NH
International Classification:
F02B 7516
US Classification:
126 61
Abstract:
A high efficiency, air-tight wood stove having a firebox with front, side, rear, top and bottom walls, primary air introducing means for admitting combustion air into the firebox, air flow means adjacent the bottom of the firebox for directing a flow of air upwardly across at least one firebox wall, at least one supplemental air inlet for diverting a portion of the air from the air flow means into the firebox, fan means for forcing air through the air flow means and through the supplemental air inlet, the size of the primary air introducing means being chosen to automatically restrict the combustion in the firebox if the fan means stops to maintain the temperature of the stove and surroundings at safe levels.

Mountain Monorail Slide

US Patent:
4236454, Dec 2, 1980
Filed:
Mar 9, 1978
Appl. No.:
5/884963
Inventors:
Alve J. Erickson - Milford NH
Robert D. Thulman - Columbia MD
International Classification:
A63G 2104
US Classification:
104 69
Abstract:
A guideway gravity vehicle combination designed for recreational use on hills and mountains consisting of a wheeled, stabilized vehicle riding on a monorail which extends from the top to the bottom of a downwardly inclined slope. The rider controls the vehicle speed through the use of powerful braking systems. Maximum speeds are regulated by automatic braking.
