Water Traps For Washing Machines

View page
US Patent:
58680110, Feb 9, 1999
Filed:
Apr 4, 1997
Appl. No.:
8/833492
Inventors:
Larry Lee Hawkins - Louisville KY
Dwight William Jacobus - Louisville KY
Kevin Harold Kratch - Crestwood KY
Michael Thomas Beyerle - Pewee Valley KY
Assignee:
General Electric Company - Louisville KY
International Classification:
D06F 3908
US Classification:
68208
Abstract:
Apparatus including water traps for containing pump gurgling noise within a washing machine are described. In one embodiment, tub outlet openings are formed in the washing machine tub bottom wall, and the apparatus includes an inlet in flow communication, and integral, with the tub water outlet. The pump inlet hose is coupled to the apparatus outlet so that the outlet is in flow communication with the water pump. The water trap is located between the apparatus inlet and outlet, and the water trap includes a u-shaped channel, a baffle extending from a lower surface of the tub bottom wall, and a standpipe. The u-shaped channel includes a water reservoir portion at an elevation below an end of the standpipe. In operation, water from the tub is discharged from the tub through the tub water outlets and into the apparatus. The water accumulates in the water reservoir portion, and if the amount of water discharged into the apparatus exceeds the volume of the water reservoir portion, the water spills over into the standpipe and is discharged from the apparatus through the outlet and into the pump inlet hose.

Screw Aligning And Guiding Device Having Arrangement Which Facilitates Loading And Unloading Of Screw Strip

US Patent:
62129805, Apr 10, 2001
Filed:
Aug 12, 1999
Appl. No.:
9/373140
Inventors:
Kevin H. Kratch - Louisville KY
Gregory A. Phillips - Lagrange KY
Assignee:
Vermont American Corporation - Louisville KY
International Classification:
B25B 2306
US Classification:
81434
Abstract:
An apparatus for sequentially aligning a number of screws with a screwdriver and guiding the number of screws during advancement by the screwdriver is disclosed. The apparatus includes a body which includes (i) a channel adapted to receive a screw strip having the number of screws supported thereon, (ii) a feed passage adapted to sequentially receive the number of screws from the channel, and (ii) a guide track having a planar segment and an inclined ramp segment. The apparatus further includes a movable pawl which travels on the guide track through the planar segment and the inclined ramp segment, wherein (i) the movable pawl contacts at least one of the number of screws when both the movable pawl is located on the planar segment of the guide track and the screw strip having the number of screws supported thereon is located in the channel, and (ii) the movable pawl is spaced apart from all of the number of screws when both the movable pawl is located on the inclined ramp segment of the guide track and the screw strip having the number of screws supported thereon is located in the channel. Moreover, the movable pawl includes a spring and a slider assembly. The spring biases the slider assembly from the inclined ramp segment toward the planar segment.
