Lift-Up Cleat

View page
US Patent:
6588355, Jul 8, 2003
Filed:
May 1, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/136594
Inventors:
Bruce Lynn Reniger - Alto MI
Elzie McKinney - Grand Rapids MI
Trent Allan Eekhoff - Grand Rapids MI
Assignee:
Steelcase Development Corporation - Caledonia MI
International Classification:
B63B 2104
US Classification:
114218
Abstract:
A lift-up cleat assembly includes a base member having an upper plate shaped to abut a mounting surface and at least one normally vertically oriented tube depending from the plate, wherein the tube has a hollow interior, and a retractable cleat member having an upper cleat-shaped head shaped to retain lines thereon, and at least one normally vertically oriented mounting post depending from the head, wherein the post is telescopingly received in the interior of the tube of the base member and is telescopingly movable along a given length of travel. The cleat assembly also includes a cup-shaped retainer located within the hollow interior of the tube base member and having a central portion fixed with respect to the mounting post of the cleat member and an elastically deformable skirt portion that flexibly abuts the tube of the base member, thereby providing infinitesimally small increments of adjustablity of the post of the cleat member within the tube of the base member along the length of travel, and wherein the retainer is shaped to allow liquid located within the interior of the tube of the base member to drain therefrom.

Solid State Fluid Level Sensor

View page
US Patent:
7373817, May 20, 2008
Filed:
Jul 9, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/886558
Inventors:
Roger D. Burdi - Grand Rapids MI, US
Bruce L. Reniger - Alto MI, US
Assignee:
TouchSensor Technologies, LLC - Wheaton IL
International Classification:
G01F 23/00
US Classification:
73290R, 73304 C, 340620
Abstract:
A sensor system for sensing liquid level in a bilge, for use in automatic bilge pump actuation. First and second field effect sensors are potted or sealed within a container or the bilge wall and are aligned in a vertical array and each comprise a substantially planar pattern of “electrodes” or conductive traces disposed on a printed circuit board (PCB) along with integrated circuits used to create a loop or arc-shaped electric field. As bilge liquid rises to the proximity or level of the field effect sensors, a change in the arc-shaped electric field is sensed and, in response, a bilge pump is automatically actuated to pump liquid out of the bilge. Optionally, the pump control can be programmed by use of a microprocessor to permit control of on-off timing and prevent undesirable effects of “sloshing. ”.

US Patent:
7804418, Sep 28, 2010
Filed:
Feb 20, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/708129
Inventors:
Lester R. Sullivan - Wyoming MI, US
Todd M. Nykerk - Holland MI, US
Bruce L. Reniger - Alto MI, US
Assignee:
Ventra Greenwich Holdings Corporation - Warren MI
International Classification:
G08B 5/00
US Classification:
3408154, 340515, 340469, 362551, 362 23
Abstract:
A lens for a vehicle light assembly includes at least one ink marking provided thereon. At least a portion of the ink marking is configured such that it appears generally opaque to a viewer when a light source in the light assembly is not illuminated and does not appear opaque when the light source is illuminated. The ink marking includes an ink composition that includes a transparent ink and a pigmented ink.

International Classification:
G01F 23/26
US Classification:

Abstract:
A sensor system for sensing liquid level in a bilge, for use in automatic bilge pump actuation. First and second field effect sensors are potted or sealed within a container or the bilge wall and are aligned in a vertical array and each comprise a substantially planar pattern of “electrodes” or conductive traces disposed on a printed circuit board (FOB) along with integrated circuits used to create a loop or arc-shaped electric field. As bilge liquid rises to the proximity or level of the field effect sensors, a change in the arc-shaped electric field is sensed and, in response, a bilge pump is automatically actuated to pump liquid out of the bilge. Optionally, the pump control can be programmed by use of a microprocessor to permit control of on-off timing and prevent undesirable effects of “sloshing.”
