US Patent:

6843388, Jan 18, 2005

Filed:

Jul 22, 2002

Appl. No.:

10/199281

Inventors:

Anthony Scott Hollars - Tucson AZ, US

International Classification:

B67D 500

US Classification:

222 5, 222 83, 222 91, 222183

Abstract:

A compressed gas cartridge dispensing system capable of dispensing at least two different capacities of non-threaded neck compressed gas cartridges as well as optionally dispensing all cartridges having a ⅜-24 neck thread. The standard 12-gram COnon-threaded neck compressed gas cartridge fits this dispenser. The same dispensing system is also capable of dispensing larger capacity cartridges having a neck dimensioned smaller than a ⅜-24 female thread minor diameter with a water capacity in the range of 16 to 50 ml. Obvious advantages to the dispensing system are added options offering increased versatility for harnessing compressed gas cartridges of differing capacities in a unique dispenser including a novel cartridge storage feature.

International Classification:

F41B005/00

US Classification:

124 241, 124 86

Abstract:

The arrow rotation device of the present invention substantially reduces the described disadvantages of prior art arrow rotation systems by inducing a rotation on the arrow shaft prior to leaving the bow and entering free flight. It is an object of the present invention to provide a means for inducing a rotational velocity about the longitudinal axis of an arrow as it travels through the bow over the releasing range. It is another object of this invention to provide an arrow rotating system that can be used with existing archery bows with minimal modifications or available as a factory option (OE). It is a further object of the present invention to provide a means for mechanically inducing a rotational velocity about the longitudinal axis of an arrow through a constant or a variable rotational acceleration to achieve a desired rotational velocity prior to separation of an arrow from the bow.

Appl. No.:

11/150687

Inventors:

Anthony Scott Hollars - Tucson AZ, US

International Classification:

G05D 16/10

US Classification:

1371163, 13750525, 13750541, 13750542, 251332

Abstract:

This pressure regulator is specifically designed to operate with a portable compressed gas cartridge thus reducing the high vapor pressure found in compressed gas cartridges down to a substantially consistent outlet pressure. Due to the nature of the crowded regulator art, the soon to be embodied pressure regulator has been specifically embodied for use in the portable compressed gas cartridge harnessing art and this specific use is carried into the claims. Exemplified in the pressure regulator embodiments is a reduced amount of components over existing designs. Additionally, safety and reliability features have been integrated into the design and will shortly be taught in the following paragraphs. A burp-off feature in all embodiments will be exemplified that vents back-pressure spikes as well as a method of adjusting the burp-off back-pressure spikes independent of regulated pressure in some embodiments.

International Classification:

A61M 29/00
A61F 2/06

US Classification:

606192, 604 9901

Abstract:

An apparatus and method for ejecting fluid from a fluid delivery system. The fluid delivery system has a pneumatic assembly that when triggered injects gas into a hydraulic assembly, which in turn ejects fluid through an external interface. An electronic interface displays various measurements, for example, how much fluid has been ejected and if the hydraulic system is closed the pressure of the system. The pneumatic assembly can also be depressurized such that fluid can reenter the hydraulic assembly through the external interface.

International Classification:

F16K 31/00

US Classification:

251339, 119 75

Abstract:

The present invention relates to improved fluid valves actuable by a non-axial movement of an actuation stem. The non-linear actuable valves embodied in the present invention maintain pressure containment through a novel approach over the prior-art. The exemplary embodiments teach improved non-linear actuable valves that reduce the chances for seal extrusion, particularly at elevated retaining pressure, while keeping the component count low, and are capable of functioning under both high and low pressure.

Appl. No.:

11/344322

Inventors:

Thomas F. Janecek - Flagstaff AZ, US

International Classification:

B67D 7/00

US Classification:

222 5, 222 54, 169 57, 169 72, 169 75, 236 90

Abstract:

The present invention offers a solution to the potential hazards associated with an accidental overheating of a full compressed gas cartridge, by offering an automatic heat-actuable pressure discharge system. The compressed gas cartridge is protected from dangerous explosions caused by excessive heat by the use of a lance that pierces the compressed gas cartridge safely when a spring loaded hammer is released from its constraints when a length of heat sensitive material fails in the presence of excessive heat, thereby avoiding a very serious fire hazard.

Inventors:

Anthony Scott Hollars - Tucson AZ, US

International Classification:

B67D 7/00

US Classification:

222 5, 277910, 422 40

Abstract:

The invention relates to the field of portable compressed gas cartridge dispensers comprising the ability to predictably permeate the pressurized gas contained within a compressed gas cartridge. An object of the invention is to predict leak rate thus dispensing life and to provide a substantially constant leak rate for the cartridge usable life until the compressed gas cartridge is substantially spent. Another object of the invention is to harness the permeated gas for various applications.

Appl. No.:

Inventors:

Anthony S. Hollars - Tucson AZ, US

International Classification:

B67D 7/00

US Classification:

222 5, 277910, 422 40

Abstract:

A compressed gas cartridge is pierced and dispenses its pressurized gas through a permeation element that serves as a way to regulate the rate of gas dispensed out an outlet in the surrounding housing. It has been found that the use of a permeation element can control the rate of dispensation to an almost constant rate over time, which is valuable in applications such as art preservation for just one example.
