Appl. No.:

6/303812

Inventors:

Raymond A. Cellitti - Hinsdale IL
John J. Connelly - Naperville IL

Assignee:

International Harvester Co. - Chicago IL

International Classification:

G01N 2500

US Classification:

374 43

Abstract:

A method and apparatus for determining the cooling characteristics of a quenching medium includes a temperature probe having a predetermined thermal mass and conductivity and a temperature sensor affixed to the probe. The probe and sensor are heated to a predetermined temperature and immersed in the quenching medium. The output of the temperature sensor is applied to a microcomputer that has been programmed to monitor the quench rate and to determine whether the quench rate is within predetermined limits at predetermined temperatures.

Appl. No.:

6/303289

Inventors:

John J. Connelly - Naperville IL
Raymond A. Cellitti - Hinsdale IL

Assignee:

International Harvester Co. - Chicago IL

International Classification:

C21B 724

US Classification:

266 80

Abstract:

An automatic control for a multi-zone push type carburizing furnace capable of controlling the flow of either an endothermic gas atmosphere or a nitrogen methanol atmosphere at both high and low flow rates and during normal and suspend carburizing utilizes cascaded multi-stage valving to assure good separation of the atmospheres in adjacent zones. The first stage of the cascaded multi-stage valving controls the total gas flow, and the second stage routes the gas to individual zones of the furnace.

Appl. No.:

8/580755

Inventors:

John M. Connelly - Tinley Park IL
Sven E. Carlson - New Lenox IL

Assignee:

Illinois Tool Works Inc. - Glenview IL

International Classification:

A47C 110

US Classification:

297410

Abstract:

A locking headrest support assembly for the back of a vehicle set includes a sleeve, a cap, a spring and a button. The sleeve is lockable within the back of a vehicle seat and has a longitudinal bore for a rod of a vehicle headrest. The cap locks onto the top of the sleeve, and has a longitudinal bore aligned with that of the sleeve when so locked. Alternatively, the cap and sleeve may be combined in one integral piece. The cap has a slot in which the button is disposed in a drawer-like fashion. The slot has two side walls, a rear wall, and a top and a bottom. The side walls each have a notch which defines a ledge. The notches are produced by holes directed into the cap from its underside, so that the holes may not be exposed to view when the locking headrest support assembly os fully assembled. The button has prongs which engage with the ledges and prevent the button from being withdrawn once the prongs have so engaged. The spring is disposed in the slot behind the button and has an elongated base member which crosses the bore when the button is not externally depressed to engage a headrest rod within the bore.

International Classification:

F15B 1/24
E02F 9/22

Abstract:

An accumulator includes an accumulator housing defining a first end, a second end opposite to the first end, and a hollow chamber. The accumulator also includes a piston slidably disposed within the hollow chamber and adapted to displace between the first and second ends. The piston divides the hollow chamber into a gaseous chamber proximate to the first end of the accumulator housing and a hydraulic chamber proximate to the second end of the accumulator housing. Further, the piston defines a first side surface in communication with the gaseous chamber and a second side surface spaced apart from the first side surface. The second side surface is in communication with the hydraulic chamber. A cavity of the piston is in communication with the second side surface and extends from the second side surface towards the first side surface. The cavity is in fluid communication with the hydraulic chamber.
