Abstract:
A spring loaded grease gun having a cylindrical barrel which is sized to receive a grease cartridge. The cylindrical barrel has a first end and second end, the first end having an opening to receive a spring-loaded rod and the second end being threaded to receive a head cap assembly. An adapter is provided having a cylindrical body and a threaded interior surface for mating with the threaded second end of the cylindrical barrel and an exterior surface having a plurality of rectangularly shaped protrusions. The head cap assembly has a pistol type dispenser appended to a cylindrical cup which has an inner surface sized to receive the cylindrical body of the adapter. The inner surface of the cylindrical cup includes a plurality of cylindrical cup protrusions which are sized and positioned to mate with the rectangularly shaped protrusions emanating from the exterior surface of the adapter for fixedly joining the head cap assembly to the adapter.
Abstract:
A power steering fluid filter assembly having a housing defining an interior chamber, an upstream end and downstream end. The housing is substantially cylindrical having a substantially circular cross-section and longitudinal axis and at least one filter element through which fluid flowing through said housing passes. A plurality of inlet nozzles, each of which are selectively removable at the upstream end of the housing, the inlet nozzles having commonly sized cylindrical protrusions for fitting within the housing and differentially sized hose barbs for fitting within differentially sized hoses feeding power steering fluid to the housing. A plurality of outlet nozzles each of which are selectively removable at the downstream end of the housing, the outlet nozzles having commonly sized cylindrical protrusions for fitting within the housing and differentially sized hose barbs for fitting within differentially sized hoses through which power steering fluid exiting the housing passes. The inlet and outlet nozzles are releasably retained at the ends of the housing by, for example, removable clips, threads, or snap rings.
Abstract:
An aerosol discharge assembly including an aerosol cap sized to frictionally fit atop a cylindrically-shaped aerosol can having a centrally located longitudinal axis and circular cross-section, the cylindrically-shaped aerosol can containing a pressurized fluid therein and a valve stem which, when depressed, discharges fluid there through. The aerosol cap is also cylindrically shaped having a longitudinal axis coextensive with the longitudinal axis of the cylindrically-shaped aerosol can. The aerosol cap further includes an open channel located along its longitudinal axis exposing the valve stem there through and a hose receiving channel exposed atop the aerosol cap. An actuator is sized to slip fit within the open channel and to slide within it when being depressed by a user, the actuator including a fluid inlet port sized to receive the valve stem and a fluid output port in fluid communication with the fluid inlet port such that when the actuator is depressed, pressurized fluid from the aerosol can is caused to enter the fluid inlet port, travel through the actuator and discharge through the fluid outlet port. The assembly also includes a flexible hose having a first end and a second end, the first end being sized to capture the fluid outlet port, the second end including a fixture for passing the pressurized fluid there through, the flexible hose being sized to frictionally fit within the hose receiving channel when not in use, the assembly also including a safety tab positioned atop and emanating from the actuator which when in place, prevents the actuator from being depressed within the open channel.
Abstract:
A universal coupled includes a body member with a plug entry end and an opposite fluid flow outlet end with a retainer nut for maintaining a biasing member and axially slidable plug valve in the body member wherein the plug includes multiple, discrete diameter axially joined sections which are sized to uniquely receive discrete plugs. A sleeve slidably mounted on the body member engages retaining balls which radially engage and retain a plug inserted into the body member or may be manually and axially displaced to release the retaining balls.
Abstract:
A product package includes a generally flat hang card with an enclosed product chamber and at least one lateral edge with a two dimensional profile cut pattern of a product in the package which enables a prospective customer the opportunity to compare the profile of a sample product to determine the compatibility of the sample with the packaged product or to confirm the content of the package without opening the package.
