    摘要: A unitary airflow diffuser for use with a forced-air space heater has a plurality of spurs radially extending from a hub. The spurs include one or more vanes for deflecting the airflow generated by fan blades within the space heater. A nozzle assembly is secured through an aperture in the hub of the diffuser for supplying fuel within a combustion chamber. Brackets can be provided for securing an igniter and a sensor to the airflow diffuser. Mounting tabs are provided on each vane to secure the airflow diffuser to a mounting plate disposed at the input of the combustion chamber. The nozzle ejects the fuel through a central aperture in the mounting plate into the combustion chamber. The mounting plate can have secondary apertures through which air can be diverted, and vanes can be provided on the mounting plates to direct air through the secondary apertures. The deflected air ensures that the fuel swirls around the nozzle and igniter and also serves as auxiliary combustion air with the result that a uniform, clean burning flame is realized.

    摘要: A radiant heater which burns LPG fuel is provided with an improved burner assembly and an improved support assembly for mounting the heater on a propane tank. The heater includes a frame, a reflector mounted on the frame, and a burner assembly which is removably mounted within the reflector and the frame. The burner assembly includes a burner tube having an inlet end mounted within the frame and an outlet end positioned within the reflector. A generally dome-shaped screen is mounted on the outlet end of the burner tube, and a generally circular screen is attached to the dome-shaped screen substantially in alignment with the burner tube. A burner pan is mounted on the burner tube and surrounds the dome-shaped screen, and an outer screen extends across the burner pan. A thermocouple sensor and/or an igniter electrode on the frame extends through one or more openings in the burner pan. A single fastener prevents removal of the burner assembly from the frame, and when the fastener is disengaged from the burner assembly, the burner assembly can be removed and replaced. The support assembly includes a rigid support member which extends downwardly from the frame and is releasably engageable with an LPG tank. In one embodiment the support member is a fuel conduit which is connectable to a fuel valve on the LPG tank. A support bracket is adjustably mounted on the fuel conduit and is engageable with the top of the LPG tank.

    摘要: A fuel control mechanism for a liquid fuel burner includes a fuel regulating valve which is responsive to flow of liquid fuel through a fuel feed tube for movement between a starting position and a running position. When a fuel control valve for the burner is opened, flow of liquid fuel through the fuel feed tube moves the fuel regulating valve to a starting position in which the fuel regulating valve restricts flow of fuel through a fuel inlet. Air is thereby drawn through an air inlet and mixes with the fuel. After the burner is started and liquid fuel is vaporized within the generator, flow of fuel through the fuel feed tube slows, and the fuel regulating valve falls by virtue of its weight to the running position in which the fuel regulating valve does not restrict flow of fuel through the fuel inlet. Air flow through the air inlet is thereby discontinued, and only liquid fuel flows through the fuel feed tube.

    摘要: This invention relates to a method and apparatus for measuring the optical power of soft contact lenses having a lens holding apparatus which is mountable on known prior art lensmeter structures. The lens holding apparatus includes a basic support housing means, a lens holder assembly mounted on the basic support housing means, and a lens conditioner means connected to the basic support housing means and operably engagable with the lens holder assembly. The lens holder assembly includes a contoured lens support member having a transparent lens support surface to substantially duplicate the outer contour and size of a person's eye. The lens conditioner means includes a lens wiper assembly operable through an actuator linkage assembly to move a wiper blade member over the contoured lens support member with a soft contact lens mounted thereon to provide a wetting action on both sides of the soft contact lens to duplicate the conditions when worn on the cornea of a person's eye. This operation substantially duplicates the condition of the soft contact lens as being worn on the cornea of a person's eye. The method of this invention relates to optical power measurement with the use of a lens support member being (1) cleansing; (2) wetting; (3) wiping; (4) measuring the soft contact lens; and (5) periodically rewetting and operating the device as required.

    摘要: A connector is provided for securing a conduit to a fluid source, which source includes a noncircular cylindrical pedestal having a fluid source outlet extending therethrough and an annular groove surrounding the pedestal. The connector includes an inlet port engageable with the fluid source outlet and an outlet port in fluid communication with the inlet port and engageable with the conduit. A collet includes a base, and a plurality of fingers extending from the base substantially parallel to an axis of the inlet port, each finger being disposed a common radial distance from the axis of the inlet port and including a radially extending pawl spaced from the base. An annular cam has a noncircular cylindrical receptacle correspondingly engageable with the noncircular cylindrical pedestal of the fluid source and having an axis coincident with the axis of the inlet port. The cam is seated within the collet and disposed to rotate about the coincident axes, so that when the pedestal is engaged with the receptacle, rotation of the pedestal causes the cam to rotate. The cam includes a contact surface which, when the cam is rotated by rotation of the pedestal, abuts the fingers of the collet and forces the pawls away from the coincident axes into the annular groove to secure the conduit to the fluid source.

    摘要: A automatic ignition gas lantern includes baffle positioned near the outside of a mantle, so that gas flowing out of the mantle will be disturbed by the baffle. This sets up a region with a fuel/air mixture that can be easily and reliably ignited. A spark is then generated in this region, which ignites the gas and causes the mantle to glow brightly.
